Debug with incomplete source

[Jack]

Hi,
I'd like to know if it's possible to debug with part of the source lost? if
yes, could you please teach me how to do it?
Thanks a lot
Jack

Sure. Whatever you don't have in source code can be debugged in disassembly view.

Hi Scot,
Thanks for helping. I'd like to know how to setup this scenario in Windbg. I
have an exe file, without symbols. I only have part of the source, then the
GUI part was lost, winmain inclusive.
Thanks
Jack

By default, WinDbg will step through the code, one assembly instruction at a time, unless you have
symbols and matching source. It can then be put into source-stepping mode, instead of
assembly-stepping mode. So, the default behavior is to allowe debugging without symbols and source.
Obviously, this is much more tedious.
