Description Marc-André Laperle CLA 2015-08-03 14:28:37 EDT 
Using CDT 8.8.0.201508011003

Often, I debug a process that uses a library with no debugging symbols. In the Debug view, in only shows the address, without the library name. In this case, I have to resort to opening the Modules view and doing a visual binary start using the base address + size of the libraries to find in which library that stack frame is. Once I find it, then I can either download debugging symbols or compile it myself.

Visual Studio does display the module names in its Call Stack view:

Would still very much like that. Gdb does display the module name ;)
