Visual Studio loads the correct PDB file, but can't find source information for anything in the solution.
Things I've tried:
- Clean, reboot, regenerate project (CMake), rebuild
- Check the Modules window to ensure the PDB is loaded (it is)
- Mess with "Debug Source Files" setting under solution properties
- Check the PDB file with symchk (it says the PDB matches the EXE, and that it has full symbol information, i.e. it's not stripped)
- Download system lib symbols from Microsoft because why not
Is there some setting that generates a PDB without source information? Or could it be baking bad paths into the PDB? I tried grepping through the PDB and although it appears to have all the symbols, I couldn't find any source file paths.
More info: this is a 64-bit C++ project. Everything is statically linked including the runtime.
The project was missing the /Zi parameter. Apparently this still causes the compiler to generate a PDB file that can be successfully loaded, it just doesn't have any useful symbols in it. No idea why.
At the bottom bar of visual studio, click Application Output and resolve the error from the exception which was produced.
