Symbol server

Hi all,
I'm trying to debug some VM-level out-of-memory crashes. Anybody know where the Cincom symbol server is these days? I've tried <http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/downloads/symbols>, but it redirects to the "Cincom Smalltalk Community Blogs" page. Or is there somewhere else I can get the PDB files for the Windows debug VM? Thanks, Colin -- Colin Putney Developer Deep Cove Labs _______________________________________________ vwnc mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/vwnc |

That link works for me. It gives me the message that I'm not
a debugger, so go away, but that's what it normally does.

Ditto from a BlackBerry here.

Hi Alan, Something strange is going on. I get that same page if I open the
url with a browser, but the debugger can’t get the symbols it needs. So,
digging a bit deeper, here’s what I’ve done : 1.
Clear the symbol cache. 2.
Start my image in the debug version of vwnt.ext 3.
Attach to that process with the debugger. As the debugger goes
about resolving symbols for all the libraries in the process, I can see cache
entries being added in the cache directory. 4.
The debugger shows “Cannot find or open the PDB file”
for vwnt.exe. It reports the symbol load information as the following: C:\Development\Testing\Releases\v7362b131\vwnt.pdb: Cannot find
or open the PDB file. l:\license\cake\mar10.1\build\hps-build\build\nt\norm\vwnt.pdb:
Cannot find or open the PDB file. C:\Users\colin\AppData\Local\Temp\SymbolCache\vwnt.pdb\4bb228781\vwnt.pdb:
PDB format is obsolete. C:\Windows\symbols\exe\vwnt.pdb: Cannot find or open the PDB
file. C:\Windows\exe\vwnt.pdb: Cannot find or open the PDB file. C:\Windows\vwnt.pdb: Cannot find or open the PDB file. 5.
Verify that there is indeed a cache entry for vwnt.pdb: It contains the same HTML as http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/userblogs/cincom/blogView 6.
Point a browser to http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/downloads/symbols/vwnt.pdb/4bb228781/vwnt.pdb.
I get an (apparently) valid PDB file, containing “Microsoft C/C++ program
database 2.00” followed by binary data. If I manually download the PDB files and preload the cache, the
debugger seems to be happy. This is enough to get me going again, but something
ain’t right. This is a fresh install of VisualStudio 2010, BTW, could be
that the server only supports VS 2008. Colin -- Colin Putney Developer Deep Cove Labs From: Alan Knight

Colin, if you see things like
Out of memory. mmScavenge.c:2300 then use the -xq switch. Before exiting, the VM will write out a file called stack.txt which will likely point to the cause of the problem.

Hi Andres,
That's exactly the problem I'm seeing, thanks.
