eMbedded Visual C++ Utilities

  • Article

Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ provides the following command-line utilities for viewing or manipulating build output:

  • Bscmake.exe builds a browse information file (.bsc) that contains information about the symbols (classes, functions, data, macros, and types) in your program. You view this information in browse windows within the development environment. (A .bsc file can also be built in the development environment.)
  • Editbin.exe is a wrapper for LINK /EDIT. It is used to modify COFF binary files.
  • Decorated names are sometimes required when you specify a function name to LINK or other utilities.
  • Dumpbin.exe is a wrapper for LINK /DUMP. It displays information (such as a symbol table) about Common Object File Format (COFF) binary files.
  • Lib.exe is a wrapper for LINK /LIB. It is used to create and manage a library of COFF object files. It can also be used to create export files and import libraries to reference exported definitions.
  • Nmake.exe reads and executes makefiles.
