Did you know… You can cache symbols locally to disk? - #301
And here we go… beyond the #300 mark…
Under Tools – Options – Debugging – Symbols, there’s this checkbox
Whenever I use a symbol server, meaning that I’m loading symbols from somewhere that isn’t on my machine, like a UNC share, I do two things:
- Uncheck load symbols when this dialog is closed – i prefer to wait until the moment i need to load symbols
- I specify a cache location on disk to copy the symbol files to.
You never know when you won’t have access to the symbol server, so i prefer to use this option so i can always keep going, just in case. i’m curious if anyone has a reason why not to use it.
