Visual Studio: Debugging Chrome with Source?


I've managed to set up the download symbols for Google Chrome (Dev channel) in Visual Studio. This is helpful for understanding the disassembly, but when I step into a function, I want to see the C++ source code. (It opens up a dialog, letting me find the source file, which I of course don't have.)

Is there a server from which I can have Visual Studio automatically find the matching version of the C++ source file?


Solution

  • As per this article, you can configure VS or windbg to download symbols from http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols and https://chromium-browser-symsrv.commondatastorage.googleapis.com

    Other workaround of that is to compile the entire source on your side... (but you already know that :))
