SYMPTOMS

When you try to instrument an application by using the profiler in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System, you receive the following VSP1014 error message:
Error VSP1014 : Code discovery analysis failed during processing image '|2'.
Additionally, you receive several warning messages about missing the debug information, such as the following:
Warning VSP2005 : Internal Instrumentation Error: The object '\Path\DllToInstrument.lib(.\Release\DllToInstrument.obj)' was built without debug information.
For example, this issue occurs when you run the following command:
Vsinstr.exe /d:ignorecverr <DllToInstrument>.dll

CAUSE

This problem occurs because Visual Studio profiles a C++ application that has a statically linked library. However, .pdb symbols are not available for the library.

Note You must use the /d:ignorecverr command when you instrument .dll files for which .pdb symbols are not available. For example, the following is the minimum statement of the required command:
Vsinstr.exe /d:ignorecverr <Filename>.dll
