Rhino 5 Debug Symbols

Hello,

Are there Rhino 5 symbols on http://symbols.rhino3d.com? I’ve tried debugging a few crash dumps from Rhino 5 and I can’t seem to get any symbols for it.

Hi Luke,

Sorry, no, we don’t make our debug symbols available.

Hi Dale,

Is this something you’ll do again in the future like you did with Rhino 4? Or should I just set the plug-in up for PseudoDebug mode?

I’m confused. You don’t need symbols from us to debug your project. What problem are you trying to solve?

Hi Dale,

For Rhino 4, I’d use http://symbols.mcneel.com to pull all symbols for Rhino4_d.exe when debugging. While I don’t have the source for Rhino 4, it does at least put a name to the different addresses in the call stack so I know which Rhino functions are being called. For example, in the case of bad input causing a Rhino or OpenNURBS function to fail, at least I’d know which function it was, helping me pinpoint the problem on my end.

I don’t see any equivalent to this in Rhino 5. I thought I heard someone say somewhere that a Rhino5_d.exe was available, or would be made available. I don’t remember for sure though… Am I just dreaming? This would be nice. =]

Hi Luke,

We have not posted symbols for Rhino 5, and I am sure we have plans to (at this time).

A debug version of Rhino.exe is included with the SDK - just in the SDK’s “bin” folder.
