AddSyntheticSymbol consuming a lot of time

Hi,

because we don't have dbg files (compiler is Borland C++ Builder) I
use AddSyntheticSymbol to create debug symbols from the linker map
file.
This works ok for me but it s very, very time consuming.

Is their a way to speed this up _or_ the possibility to generate
an .dbg file from the newly added synthetic symbols?

thanks

Hello Rob.

I don't know of a way to do what you want short of writing your own tool 
that reads a map file and writes the data to coff format for use in a dbg 
file.  Even so, only native Codeview symbols are recognized by the debugger 
for locals.
