Attaching a DLL

complete · 10-05-2007, 10:22 AM

I have a C++ program I am debugging. It uses a DLL. I have the source code for the DLL. Now, suppose I want to debug and step through the DLL. How do I attach this to my current project?

In which compiler/debugger?

In the debugger, in the IDE.

Well in Borland C++ it is only possible if you compiled the application staticaly using the sources.
Just debugging a DLL is much harder since you must compile and run the DLL itself by hooking the compile to a process.

There's also a way to debug the application and the DLL by putting both sources inside a project and debug the project as a whole.

Thanks. I got it fixed.

It turns out that all I needed was a compiled debug version of the DLL along with a PDB file.
