aha! Well, I'm afraid I definitely was messing with msc.c (what you say makes
perfect sense, I had wondered why stabs stuff was there (I guess for mingw as
you mention)). Armed with this info I'll take another look. For presumably
transient reasons which I don't quite fathom, my gdb won't debug wine right
now either... so I'm simply using creative TRACE's for now... yuck.
I had followed ctags from DEBUG_LoadModule32 in module.c into msc.c... I
guess, instead, I should be looking at the path:
winedbg.c:DEBUG_HandleDebugEvent ->
stabs.c:DEBUG_ReadExecutableDbgInfo
?
Thanks for your help.
