When loading a Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) program into CodeView
version 3.00, the following warning is received:

   CV2206 WARNING: Corrupt debug OMF detected in FOO.OBJ, discarding
   source line information

In this example, the program was assembled and linked with CodeView
information.

The warning is caused because the program was written with full
segment declarations and the CODE segment was not declared class
'code'.

The problem does not appear when using dot-segment declarations.

The following code causes this error:

  stack   segment stack para 'stack'
          db      100 dup (?)
  stack   ends

  text    segment
          assume   cs:text

  main    proc
          ret
  main    endp

  text    ends
          end main

The following code does not cause this error:

  stack   segment stack para 'stack'
          db      100 dup (?)
  stack   ends

  text    segment  'code'
          assume   cs:text

  main    proc
          ret
  main    endp

  text    ends
          end main
