I can't debug CoInitialize function

[Yonggang Chen]

Hello developers,

 

After building ReactOS and Rostests successfully, I can't debug CoInitialize
function through Visual Studio 2015. It seems Visual Studio thinks I'm using
their CoInitialize of Windows kernel.

Anybody can help me?

 

Here is the steps I used to compile ReactOS and Rostests:

1.       install Build Environment

https://reactos.org/wiki/ReactOS_Build_Environment

 

2. download code to the folder specified when by RosBE during installing

     code: svn://svn.reactos.org/reactos/trunk/reactos

  http://svn.reactos.org/reactos/trunk/rostests/

 

  reactOS directory -> E:\Work\reactos

  rostests directory -> E:\Work\reactos\modules\rostests

 

 

3. generate reactos.sln for Visual Stdio

     (a). Open a Windows DDK/WDK/Visual Studio 2015 command prompt.

     (b). run the following command in the code root:

               configure.cmd VSSolution

4. build the huge solutions

     msbuild reactos.sln /m

5. open the 'ole32_winetest.vcxproj'
(E:\Work\reactos\output-VS-i386\modules\rostests\winetests\ole32)

       Set the command arguments 'ole2', set breakpoint at CoInitialize
line, and start beginning by pressing F5, but Visual Studio can't get into
CoInitialize funtion

 

 

Best regards

That's because you _are_ using Windows's version! :)
The "normal" way to debug ReactOS code is on ReactOS, using a kernel
debugger.
However there are a couple tricks that could allow you to use ROS
ole32.dll on Windows. DLL redirection doesn't work for some DLLs
though, as Windows forces the use of its own version for security
reasons.
For dlls where it does work (not sure of ole32 is on the list), one way
is to create a yourapplication.exe.local file next to your executable
and copy the dll into that same directory as well.
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/junfeng/2006/01/24/dotlocal-local-dll-redi…
has some information on the subject.

Best,
Thomas
