> Add support for reading Windows PDB debug info (symbols and line > numbers) when Valgrind is running Wine. Yay! This code will probably also be useful when running VG on real Windows. (Sure, there is also a native API on Windows (dbghelp.dll) to read PDB files of course, but it is IMHO too complex and pulls in too many other DLLs to be used inside a VG tool, so using it would have to be relegated to a separate helper process, with some trivial shared memory and event -style request/reply IPC between the tool and helper processes.) (Of course, no new separate process is needed as such, the launcher could act also as such a helper process, after all it has nothing else to do while the tool is running.) --tml |
