'cannot find or open the pdb file' Visual Studio C++ 2013
I just downloaded VS 2013 Community Edition and I wrote my first app. When I run it it shows in the output section:
'ConsoleApplication1.exe' (Win32): Loaded 'C:\Users\Toshiba\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\ConsoleApplication1\Debug\ConsoleApplication1.exe'. Symbols loaded.
'ConsoleApplication1.exe' (Win32): Loaded 'C:\Windows\System32\ntdll.dll'. Cannot find or open the PDB file.
'ConsoleApplication1.exe' (Win32): Loaded 'C:\Windows\System32\kernel32.dll'. Cannot find or open the PDB file.
'ConsoleApplication1.exe' (Win32): Loaded 'C:\Windows\System32\KernelBase.dll'. Cannot find or open the PDB file.
'ConsoleApplication1.exe' (Win32): Loaded 'C:\Windows\System32\msvcp120d.dll'. Cannot find or open the PDB file.
'ConsoleApplication1.exe' (Win32): Loaded 'C:\Windows\System32\msvcr120d.dll'. Cannot find or open the PDB file.
The program '[11196] ConsoleApplication1.exe' has exited with code 0 (0x0).
What is the problem? I checked my code on many sites so I know that the problem is not in my code. Can anyone help me?
Solution 1:
Try go to Tools->Options->Debugging->Symbols and select checkbox "Microsoft Symbol Servers", Visual Studio will download PDBs automatically.
PDB is a debug information file used by Visual Studio. These are system DLLs, which you don't have debug symbols for.[...]
See Cannot find or open the PDB file in Visual Studio C++ 2010
Solution 2:
No problem. You're running your code under the debugger, and the debugger is telling you that it doesn't have debugging information for the system libraries.
If you really need that (usually for stack traces), you can download it from Microsoft's symbol servers, but for now you don't need to worry.
Solution 3:
Working with VS 2013. Try the following
Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> Output Window -> Module Load Messages -> Off
It will disable the display of modules loaded.
Solution 4:
It worked for me. Go to Tools-> Options -> Debugger -> Native and check the Load DLL exports. Hope this helps
