Question

See more:

I am not familiar with RAD studio Code gear. I had binaries build in RAD studio Code gear(C++ and delphi), which crashes, I was trying to capture the crash dump and analyse the issue.

These don't have .PDB, instead created .TDS.

I Know crash dump created by the binaries that were build in Visual studio can be opened directly in visual studio and locate exact point of crash. We can also do the same in WinDbg but difficult process.

Now my question is: if I capture a crash dump created from the binaries build in RAD studio Code gear. This there is process to open the dump file in visual studio ? (or) Can I analyse in WinDbg. ?
What is the best process to analyse these crash dumps?

Please advise. Thanks.

What I have tried:

I tried with Visual studio and also finding ways to use windbg

Try it and see; it's impossible to guess what may happen.

That depends on what's writing the crash dump. You're never going to know until you try it.

I can tell you that since you don't have a PDB file that you're not going to have any symbols, unless that TDS file can be converted using some tool. I don't know of any.

You're best, and probably only, source of information on this is going to be Embarcadero.

I hope that there's no chance to open TDS files in VSS as well as PDB files in Embarcadero RAD Studio. That's actually a slightly different products.

I hope that there's no chance to open TDS files in VSS as well as PDB files in Embarcadero RAD Studio. That's actually a slightly different products. But, anyway, try to use both TDS and PDB files with WinDbg the way how Richard MacCutchan has already recommended you. Probably it works I don't know exactly, since I've never tried to do that.
