I've started to evaluate VTune for Windows.
When I try to use 'Advanced activity configuration' wizard to setup 'call graph' collector I see for the module to be instrumented only option for 'Minimal instrumentation' [in the explanation for the 'Max instrumentation level' I see: 'Minimal (All functions instrumentation can not be done - no debug info)' ]. Indeed, the PDB file of the instrumented application is located in different location than the application itself (there is split between binaries and symbol information: the binaries are located ina number of directories but symbols information is located in one dedicated directory). However,
- first, Ive setup in the ConfigureOptionsDirectories the Symbol files option to the directory where my PDB file is located -> it did not help to see the debug information in the wizard
- second (following the help), Ive created the _NT_ALT_SYMBOL_PATH environment variable and assign the directory with the PDB file -> it did not help to see the debug information in the wizard
- third, Ive created the _NT_SYMBOL_PATH environment variable and assign the directory with the PDB file -> it did not help to see the debug information in the wizard
- fourth, Ive copied the relevant PDB file into the directory with the instrumented executable file -> then the wizard showed All functions option.
I do not want to copy the PDB files into the locations where the binaries are located, especially seeing the potential options that should work but I do not understand why they do not work.
Any suggestions? Or maybe Ive misunderstood/misinterpreted those options?
I am playing with VTune 7.2 (build 16929). The instrumented application is an EXE type.
Regards,
Krzysztof

Hi Dave,
Thank you very much for the answer and tips in it. However, I've checked "File Associations" and 'Symbol Repository" but both these locations were empty, so there were no 'remembered' settings. Fornow I've decided to simply copy the PDB files into appropriate locations and in the meantime I am searching for the solution (because I cannot imagine that such a basic functionality is not working - I think, I miss somewhere some simple setting).
Anyhow, once more thanks Dave for the response and in case you have some additional ideas, do not hesitate - they are more than welcomed ;-)
Regards,
Krzysztof
