Hi,
I am working with a customer on using the nm command in Cygwin for Windows. The customer
wants to be able to generate a symbol table on *.exe files similar to what nm does on
unix platforms. The executable, when run with nm in Cygwin, results in a "no
symbols" result, whereas it generates a symbol table in unix.
I understand that these commands will certainly be different in both Cygwin for
Windows and the unix platforms, but is there any way that *.exe will generate a
symtab with nm?
Note: The customer said the Windows "dumpbin" does not satisfy his needs
either... what fun.
Thanks,
Ben Cao
How was compiled the *.exe file ?
For both Unix and Windows stripped programs do not contain any more any
symbol. Example from one of my package:
$ nm ncview.exe |wc -l
5540
$ nm ncview.exe |tail
00440824 T _XUndefineCursor
00424b8b t _xy_track_pointer
0062a230 b _y0.4078
0062a270 b _y0.4110
00424864 t _yaxis_range_callback
00626a68 b _ydim_selection_widget
00626a6c b _ydimlist_label_widget
00626a70 b _ydimlist_widget
00632890 i fthunk
00632498 i hname
but
$ nm /usr/bin/ncview.exe
nm: /usr/bin/ncview.exe: no symbols
As the installed version was stripped.
