A python module and command line utility for publishing windows debugging symbols to symbols store. The symbols published in this format can be consumed by the common development tools for windows, such as Visual Studio and WinDbg. See Using SymStore for more information on windows symbols store.
Currently it is possible to publish PDB and PE (exe and dll) files to a local file system.
Symstore is available on pypi and conda package repositories.
It can be installed with pip or conda utilities, see below.
Install symstore with pip utility by running:
$ pip install symstore
This will install the command line utility symstore as well as python module symstore.
It is also possible to install symstore package from source code. For example, clone symstore's git repository with:
$ git clone <repo-url> symstore
and install it with pip:
$ pip install symstore/
The symstore package is available on conda-forge channel.
To install it, activate your conda environment and run:
$ conda install --channel conda-forge symstore
Use the symstore command to publish the symbols. Run symstore --help for details.
To publish symbols programmatically use the symstore module.
See symstore/command_line.py for an example on how to use the API.
The symstore package supports compressing the data files when publishing them. This can lead to significant reduction of data that needs to be transferred while accessing symbols.
The compression mode is activated with --compress or -z flag to symstore command line utility.
On non-Windows systems, symstore uses the native gcab library via python bindings to compress data.
The required packages must be available on the system for the compression mode to work.
On Ubuntu 22.04, install following packages:
On Ubuntu 20.04 or 18.04, install following packages:
On Ubuntu 16.04, install following packages:
On FreeBSD 12.2, install following binary packages:
If symstore is unable to load required packages while compression mode is requested, following error message will be displayed:
gcab module not available, compression not supported
On Windows systems, symstore uses the standard makecab.exe utility.
The makecab.exe utility normally is included by default in Windows installations, thus symstore compression will work out-of-box.
