symbols not loaded in C++ 2006-07-08 16:21:50 Reply

I'm kind of a newb to C++ and im just curious... even though my project compiles correctly, it says stuff like this:

'oldskool.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll', No symbols loaded.
'oldskool.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\kernel32.dll', No symbols loaded.
'oldskool.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.Debu
gCRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.42_x-ww_f7
5eb16c\msvcr80d.dll', No symbols loaded.
'oldskool.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcrt.dll', No symbols loaded.
'oldskool.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.Debu
gCRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.42_x-ww_f7
5eb16c\msvcp80d.dll', No symbols loaded.

Should I be worried about this?

I don't know anything about C++, but I'm guessing this means character symbols weren't loaded? If so that may mean that letters and fonts or whatever weren't loaded and won't output correctly.

If you don't know anything about C++ then why guess? :-O

omega3D: First off, if you're new to C++ then turn off Debug mode, chances are it won't help you too much and it only makes the final executable a lot bigger. The "No symbols loaded" warning says that the DLLs were loaded correctly and that they contain no debugging information.
