PRB: MAPSYM 3.10 Truncating Line-Number Information

ID: Q11685

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.1

SYMPTOMS

Using Version 3.10 of the MAPSYM utility that came with the Windows Development Toolkit, you get an incorrect entry point (Program entry point at 0000:0000) for .SYM files and the map-file information (the line numbers) are truncated. You use close to 100 segments and generate more than 1000 line numbers.

CAUSE

Version 3.10 of MAPSYM has a limitation of 10,000 symbols and 150 segments. Additionally, if a pathname and segment name line (in the map-file line numbering) is greater than 80 characters, the line-number information is truncated.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, shorten this line to less than 80 characters. For example, change the following line

Line numbers for D:\TESTER\C\FILENAME.OBJ(d:\tester\c\filename.c)
segment filename_TEXT

to this:

Line numbers for D:\FILENAME.OBJ(d:\filename.c) segment filename_TEXT
