<pre>Chrome's build system passes a mixture of forward and back slashes as path
separators. link.exe normalizes all of these and creates a minimal/canonical
path to the PDB inside of the PDB file. This can be seen with:
<span class="quote">> dumpbin /headers base.dll | find /i "rsds"</span >
Typical output is like this:
5B36C745 cv 50 00461348 460348 Format: RSDS,
{841F5EF3-1C48-4817-A3D5-C7F30CD90E9D}, 7,
c:\src\chromium3\src\out\debug_component\./base.dll.pdb
In particular note the "debug_component\./base.dll.pdb" portion. With link.exe
this is "debug_component\base.dll.pdb"
This is important because with recent versions of WPA (maybe only with the most
recent version?) this prevents symbol loading from working, completely.
This makes ETW profiling of Chrome somewhere between impossible and extremely
difficult so this is important to fix promptly.
Given an ETW trace you can see the paths which it is using for symbol lookup
with this command:
"xperf -i "testtrace_with_patched_base.etl" -tle -tti -a symcache -quiet
-imageid -dbgid"
However the dumpbin technique is much simpler.</pre>
