Code review request: 7152671, RFE: Windows decoder should add some std dirs to the symbol search path

[Christian Törnqvist]

Hi Zhengyu,

Why do we need to add JDK/lib and JRE/lib to the symbol path? Looking at where the symbols are I would expect the symbol path to include the jvm.dll directory and JRE/bin ?

Thanks,
Christian

This is an enhancement that allows Windows decoder to search pdb files that are created by FDS.

In short, if FDS pdb files are downloaded into following paths, Widnows decoder should be able to use them to decode stacks:

$JDK/lib
$JRE/lib
directory where jvm.dll is loaded from.  ($JRE/bin/{server or client})
