Remarks

You must enable source line support before you can perform source-level debugging. This support enables the debugger to load source line symbols.

You can enable source line support by using the .lines command or the -lines command-line option. If source line support is already enabled, using the .lines command disables this support.

By default, if you do not use the .lines command, WinDbg turns on source line support, and console debuggers (KD, CDB, NTSD) turn off the support. For more information about how to change this setting, see Setting Symbol Options.
