how deeply can the source path in windbg be nested?

Solution 1:

Can’t answer exactly, but I often have 3 top (parent) directories, and each have approximately 4-5 levels of sub directories. No problems. However nothing beats using a source server

Solution 2:

If you specify the parent folder for the source files in source path then it should traverse through the subdirectories to find the source files.

Note that it will perform a signature match against your source files, in the same way that Visual studio will complain that the source files are different to the loaded dlls.

The relative locations of the source files must match the original locations so if your source files are located in a different structure then you will need to do a manual load/browse to specify the location of the source files.
