Loading/reloading symbols for just one module..

  • Article

Many a times it happens that from within a debugging session, we need to load / reload symbols for a particular module (Talking in context of WinDbg).. e.g. we started debugging, set normal symbol path and down the line while debugging, came to know that we need symbol for particular module. We modify symbol file path. If we do,

.reload /f

it loads all symbols again from the same location which might take time.

So, just managed to find the command to load just one particular module's symbols,

.reload /f @"mydll.dll"

This will load symbols for mydll.dll using latest symbol path.

Stay tuned.. Wave
