Description:
Hi,  

https://update.mysql.com/noncert/gpl/mysql-enterprise-gpl-noinstall-5.0.36-win32.zip
and
https://update.mysql.com/noncert/gpl/mysql-enterprise-gpl-noinstall-5.0.36-winx64.zip

do not contain mysqld-debug.exe or any *.pdb or *.map files.
so this makes debugging crashes very hard for us and customers.

pdb and map files used to be included in the community releases, starting a while back.  it really was useful to have.

Suggested fix:
in visual studio, enable the creation of this debug info.
use /Zi and /MAP /DEBUG

make the *.PDB and *.map files available in the normal package  or make them available via a separate download url.

it will lessen the number of hotfix builds support requests for windows platform, if we get these debug files included in the release.

Thank you for the bug report.

See bug: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=27605.

The 32 bit Windows packages in 5.0.40 contains .map
and .pdb files for the servers, "mysqld-nt.exe",
"mysqld-debug.exe" and "mysqlmanager.exe"

The 64 bit build that uses CMake has the same .pdb
files but lack .map files for other than the debug
binary. Could not find how to enable .map files for
the RelWithDebug target in CMake, please reopen
this bug report if the lack of the .map files is
a real problem.

Noted in 5.0.40 changelog.

Windows binaries contained no debug symbol file. Now .map and .pdb
files are included in 32-bit builds for mysqld-nt.exe,
mysqld-debug.exe, and mysqlmanager.exe.
