Information typically stored in a module, or in .pdb or .dbg files associated with the module. For native-compiled programs, debug data also includes .map files, produced by the linker, which contain function information.

Debug line information is used to collect data at line level, and (for native-compiled code) debug symbol data is used to identify function names.

Debug data is required for all modules in selective instrumentation mode when you are analyzing a native-compiled (unmanaged) program.
