Summary:

Under CodeView versions 3.0, 3.1, 3.11, 3.12, 3.14, and 3.5, the

Label/Function search command is described in the online help as

performing a search of the current source window for an assembly-

language label or function name. If the label is found, the debugger

should switch from source to assembly mode to display a label in a

library routine or assembly language module.

In reality, this command fails with a message "Error - Unknown

Symbol." The debugger does not switch into assembly mode. This problem

can be reproduced by selecting Search from the CodeView menu, then

choosing Label/Function and typing in "__chkstk" (without the

quotation marks).

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in CodeView versions 3.0,

3.1, 3.11, 3.12, 3.14, and 3.5. We are researching this problem and

will post new information here as it becomes available.
