The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Visual C++, versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 4.0, 4.0a, 4.1 
 - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Enterprise Edition, versions 4.2, 4.2b, 5.0, 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

DUMPBIN.EXE combines output data when more than one file is passed in as command
line arguments. For example:

   dumpbin myfile.exe myfile.dll

will show summary data for both files, rather than for each individual file.

RESOLUTION
==========

To prevent the combination of data, execute DUMPBIN on one file at a time.

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION
================

To illustrate this problem, we're using two of the Source Profiler binaries,
PREP.EXE and PROFILE.DLL.

The output from "dumpbin prep.exe" (without the quotes):

Dump of file prep.exe

   File Type: EXECUTABLE IMAGE

      Summary

        6000 .data
        1000 .idata
        1000 .rdata
        4000 .rsrc
        D000 .text

Now, the output from "dumpbin profile.dll":

Dump of file profile.dll

   File Type: DLL

      Summary

        B000 .data
        1000 .idata
        2000 .rdata
        2000 .reloc
        3000 .rsrc
       10000 .text

And finally, the output from "dumpbin prep.exe profile.dll":

Dump of file prep.exe

   File Type: EXECUTABLE IMAGE
   ?
   Dump of file profile.dll

   File Type: DLL

      Summary

       11000 .data
        2000 .idata
        3000 .rdata
        2000 .reloc
        7000 .rsrc
       1D000 .text

Notice that each of the segment categories listed in the DUMPBIN output for both
files is the sum of each individual file.
