[fpc-devel] PDB debug format made public

[Denis Kozlov]

/This might be of interest or used for future reference./

Microsoft has made an effort to open up and document it's proprietary 
PDB debugging file format, a.k.a program database (.pdb) file, primarily 
used by Visual Studio Debugger and WinDbg. Apparently, the aim is to 
open it for use in other compilers/debuggers.

Source code of binary level formats and simple tools that can use PDB 
format:
https://github.com/Microsoft/microsoft-pdb

There is also a read-only API for accessing PDB format called Debug 
Interface Access SDK:
