System and method for remote and local diagnosis using automatically identified symbol libraries to create record based requests with tag lists of data to be collected from an operating system

摘要

A symbol resolution system program product for use with a symbolic debugger has multiple symbol files. The symbol files include symbol files for multiple versions of an operating system that could potentially be executing on a target machine. The symbol resolution system has code for automatically locating a symbol file according to a module name and version information extracted from the target machine, and code for automatically verifying correspondence of the located symbol file with the corresponding executable module. The symbol resolution system also has code for resolving symbols according to information contained in the located symbol file.
