Hi Greg,
Thanks for the status update on this. Would be great to have the changes merged into trunk as it would make it a bit easier to do additional work on in then.
Cheers!

I am glad you like it.

That is great to hear.

I have looked around a bit in the codebase and there seems to be some Windows support there but I'm a bit unsure of what the current status is?
There is a windows branch with all the required changes for windows. I haven't had time to check these changes out and merge them into trunk yet, but I hope to get to that in the next few months

One issue also is that PDB file format is proprietary so one would have to reverse engineer it (or use the imghelp library on Windows but dunno if it would give all data needed)
This is the main issue. PDB is a closed file format. It would be great to support it, but it might require a lot of work.
