Minidumps and matching modules
In the process of debugging a minidump, matching modules are as important as matching symbols. If the debugger cannot find matching modules, it usually cannot load symbols and cannot show good call stacks and other kinds of important information. In this article we will explore how debuggers work with modules - where do they look for them, and what data do they use to check whether a module is matched. We will see how to configure the most popular debuggers to search for matching modules in correct places (module search path). We will also discuss situations when matching modules cannot be found, and try to find workarounds.
