Debugging DLL Dependencies

LoadLibrary

• enable loader snapshots via gflags
• re-run your scenario under a debugger

Managed Dependencies

• Fusion Assembly Binding Log Viewer (Fuslogvw.exe) ships with Visual Studio and can be quickly accessed via the VS console
• run as admin to get everything logged
• more info

Dependency Walker

• When trying to find all the libraries the project is loading & the order, build with this linker flag: /verbose:lib
• Use dumpbin & dependencywalker to find what libraries/dlls are linked against (MSVCRT/MSVCRTD/LIBCMT/x64 vs x86)
  
  Bash

  dumpbin.exe /Directives                         # use to see the runtime library that is linked
  dumpbin.exe /HEADERS                            # use to see if x86 vs x64 in the machine entry
  DUMPBIN /LINKERMEMBER[:{1|2}] <libraryname.lib> # output all the exported symbols in a lib
