----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- The Visual Workbench Integrated Debugger included with:
Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows, version 1.5
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
With Visual C++ 1.0, when you run N2D.BAT to use the debug version of
Windows, you are able to see the Windows API names in the debugger window
while stepping through your code in Mixed Source/Assembly mode. For
example, if you have a call to DrawText() in your code, in either CodeView
or the Workbench debugger, you will see the line:
CALL DRAWTEXT (0767:1ECF)
However, when using the debug kernel that comes with Visual C++ 1.5, you
will not see the API name; you will see:
CALL 0767:1ECF
CAUSE
=====
The difference is that Visual C++ version 1.0 debug kernel modules contain
CodeView debugging information, while the Visual C++ 1.5 debug kernel
modules do not contain CodeView information.
RESOLUTION
==========
If it is important for you to be able to see API names in the debugger, you
may use the debug kernel, which is included with Visual C++, version 1.0,
and Visual C++, version 1.5.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Visual C++, version 1.0, contains the debug kernel for Windows version 3.1,
while Visual C++ 1.5 contains the debug kernel for Windows for Workgroups
version 3.11. You may use the Windows version 3.1 debug kernel with Windows
for Workgroups without problems.
