Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Format: /Ldynlib
 
     The /L option tells CodeView to load symbolic information for the
     specified dynamic-link library (DLL). CodeView assumes the .DLL
     filename extension.
 
     In CVW, you can also load the symbols for additional applications.
     To load symbols for an application, you must specify the .EXE
     extension.
 
     CodeView can debug DLLs if you designate which libraries to search
     at run time. When you place a module in a DLL, neither the code
     nor the symbolic information for that module is stored in an
     application's executable (.EXE) file. Instead, the code and
     symbols are stored in the library and are not integrated into the
     main program until run time.
 
     In CVP, this option is necessary only to set breakpoints or view
     symbols in DLLs loaded with the DOSLOADMODULE call. CVP
     automatically loads symbols for all other DLLs.
