Bug ID: 30493
Summary: PDB files generated by ld --pdb do not work with the
Visual Studio debugger
Product: binutils
Version: 2.40
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: ld
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: tkacvins at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
This is a placeholder for an issue I have with PDB files generated by ld --pdb.
I am using MSYS2 + MinGW-w64, with a built for source GCC 12.1.0 and binutils
2.40. I am not using the distribution's toolchain. But I _think_ this should
reproduce if you use the latest MSYS2 + MinGW-w64 x86_64 toolchain.
The issue is the PDB file being usable in the Visual Studio debugger. The PDB
loads and I can hit breakpoints, but there is no source display when I hit the
breakpoint.
I will upload the PDB files as generated by GCC and Visual Studio for analysis.
I will also use clang to generate a PDB file and see if that works with the
Visual Studio debugger.
If you want to try to reproduce before I can upload the files (which would be
around June 6th), a simple hello world reproduced exhibits the problem.
gcc -o hello -Wl,--pdb hello.c
Then debug with Visual Studio's devenv
devenv /debugexe hello.exe
and set a break point on main and start debugging. You will break on main, but
there will be no source display.
