Symbol servers for non-MS products

mgrzeg · Mar 3, 2014

Microsoft provides symbols for most of their products. But others? Here is a list of some findings:

1. firefox http://symbols.mozilla.org/firefox (private symbols)
source info: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Using_the_Mozilla_symbol_server

2. chrome http://chromium-browser-symsrv.commondatastorage.googleapis.com (private symbols)
source info: Debugging Chromium on Windows - The Chromium Projects

3. LibreOffice http://dev-downloads.libreoffice.org/symstore/symbols
source info: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/How_to_get_a_backtrace_with_WinDbg

4. Safari http://developer.apple.com/internet/safari/windows_symbols (dead?)
source info: https://developer.apple.com/internet/safari/windows_symbols_instructions.html

5. Citrix http://ctxsym.citrix.com/symbols
source info: CTX118622 - How to Use the Citrix Symbol Server to Obtain Debug Symbols - Citrix Knowledge Center

6. SymbolSource (.net opensource)
http://srv.symbolsource.org/pdb/Public

If you know of any other (maybe a driver vendor??) share with us :)

Have any actually been helpful during kernel debugging? (minidumps!!)

I don't think you would find them useful for kernel debugging. For debugging in general, they might help when debugging user mode crashes, that could related to these specific products (I don't think we do that too common, do we?).

Anyhow, I still have Chrome, Firefox and Citrix ones set in my _NT_SYMBOL_PATH, since they (especially the Chrome/Firefox ones) sometimes provide additional information when looking into stacktraces on XPERF logs.

It's too bad Nvidia and AMD (ATI) do not provide public symbols servers... I'm pretty sure these would come in handy.

TomasD: I couldn't agree more, these are the same scenarios I use those symbol files. But I don't put them into the _NT_SYMBOL_PATH, because of the synchronous symbol loading (takes more time) - I add them only as necessary (through .sympath+ in WinDbg and via 'Configure symbol paths' in xperfview/wpa).
Driver vendors definitely should provide the symbols! :)

I haven't checked to see if these are active, but I found them with a google search:

Autodesk/3ds Max 2012 has a link here: AREA | Debug Symbol Server for 3ds Max 2012
This article states that it includes AutoCAD: Announcement: AutoCAD 2014 debug symbols now available on the public server - AutoCAD DevBlog
Thanks to Wrench97 - this one works!
