• Tydr Schnubbis (8/15) Apr 21 2006 Ok, I'm now trying to use WinDbg. I read somewhere to set a breakpoint
• Tydr Schnubbis (4/21) Apr 21 2006 Just "bp main" works! I've managed to to get windbg to open the source
• Tydr Schnubbis (3/24) Apr 21 2006 Nevermind, I can just open them manually. Seems that to set

I'm making a multithreaded gui app which gives me an Access Violation 
exception.  I'm not sure how to figure out where it originates from.  If 
I use the msvc 6 debugger, I get a crash address.  But msvc doesn't show 
me where in the code that address is, so I'm still stuck.

Is there a tool like gnu's addr2line that will give me a file and line 
number?  I couldn't make addr2line work with the exe that dmd creates.

Ok, I'm now trying to use WinDbg.  I read somewhere to set a breakpoint 
on _main, but how?  First I use the "Open Executable..." command, and 
that works.  I've also set it to download symbols automatically.  So 
far, so good.  Then, if type "bp _main" it says "Bp expression '_main' 
could not be resolved, adding deferred bp", for "bm _main" it says "No 
matching code symbols found, no breakpoints set."

What am I doing wrong?

Just "bp main" works!  I've managed to to get windbg to open the source 
code file a couple of times when fooling around with it, but I can't 
remember how I did it.  Does anyone know?

Nevermind, I can just open them manually.  Seems that to set 
breakpoints, I have to use the mangled symbols, but at least it works. :)
