64-bit debug switch

[Anil Nagubadi]

In VC++ 9.0 -- is there a swith for 64-bit compilations such that the first
4 parameters that are passed in registers
rcx,rdx, r8,r9 -- can be stored in their "home locations" in the callee
prolog.

I need this for better debuging.

I have tried /Zi -- generate full debug symbols and /Od -- disable
optimization. But, they don't this.

I need this when I am debugging, I need to look at previous call frames
parameters.

Can anyone help>

I'm not really sure what specifically you are asking, but if you have
installed the 64-bit components of Visual Studio (they are optionally
installed in VS 2005/VS 2008), and created a project for the Win32
configuration.

You can create a 64-bit configuration by adding a new configuration and
basing it off the Win32 configuration.

You can do this by right-clicking on the solution file in the Solution
Explorer and selecting "Configuration Manager..."
In the "Active solution platform:" dropdown, choose "<New...>" if x64 isn't
already in there.
Choose x64 and say copy settings from Win32.

After this, rebuild your project, making sure to select the x64
configuration.

Anil,
Did you try /homeparams already?
