Summary:
When trying to debug a Macro Assembler (MASM) program with CodeView,
the following message may appear:
CV2206 Warning: Corrupt debug OMF detected in <filename>,
discarding source line information
The error occurs when code segments are not of class "CODE". Page 104
of the "Macro Assembler 5.10 Programmer's Guide" states the following:
The CodeView debugger also expects code segments to have the class
name 'CODE'. If you fail to assign a class type to a code segment,
or if you give it a class type other than 'CODE', then labels may
not be properly aligned for symbolic debugging.
This is also mentioned in the MASM 5.10 "CodeView and Utilities"
manual under section 1.3.8 titled "Preparing Assembly Programs."
The following sample code illustrates this problem.
Sample Code
-----------
_text segment para public ; 'CODE' should be added to this line
begin proc
mov ah, 4ch
int 21h
begin endp
_text ends
end begin
