Hi!

I have a Windows _bugreport.txt with a crash stack, the cd64 library and the full x64_Release folder.
How can I match the stack symbols to the actual symbol name?

symchk won't open it (says pdb is mismatched or not found)
Dependency Walker (suggested here) lists only c4d_main, nothing more.
CFF Explorer gives no clue whatsoever.

Is there any recommendation to make our lives easier for this kind of situation?

Hi,

That's not possible because we don't publish the symbol files of Cinema 4D.
But you should be able to see the symbols of your plugin if you don't strip away the symbol information.

I just want to see the symbols for my plugin, not for Cinema 4D.
Even if it's stripped, should be on the pdb file, right?

I develop for mac for a long time but I'm new to Windows, and can't find a way to match the cdl64 and pdb.

Debug builds also have no symbols, on the rare cases when C4D detect them.
I'm using the R16 sdk template.

Symbols aren't stripped by default and the Debug build of your plugin should have symbols generated.

Do you have the minidump.dmp  file for the bug report?

If you're developing for R17 you should use the R17 cinema4dsdk project template, not the one from R16.
Note Visual Studio 2013 is the supported development environment under Windows for R17.

Yes, I have the minidump, what can I do with it?

If I force a crash on my machine, I do see the symbols on _BugReport.txt
But none of my user's bug reports have symbols.

So, I have the cdl64/dll and the full x64_Release folder.
Is there any way to get the symbols from that stack?
