SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

PDB parsing and symbol reconstruction for a Go-based pdbex port, enabling automatic extraction of symbols and generation of compilable headers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • PDB parsing: Extracts symbols, types, and structures from PDB files.
  • Header reconstruction: Produces compilable C headers from reconstructed types.
  • Use Case: Porting the C++ pdbex tooling to Go and building symbol extraction pipelines or mapping function offsets to source locations.

Quick Start

Run the pdbex Go module against a PDB to generate symbol mappings and headers.

FAQPage Schema
How do I parse PDB files and generate C headers in Go?

To parse PDB files and generate C headers in Go, you can use a pdbex Go port to extract symbols, types, and structures, then reconstruct them into compilable C headers and symbol mappings.

What is the best way to map binary offsets to source locations using PDB files?

Mapping binary offsets to source locations requires parsing PDB files to extract symbols and reconstructing type information. A Go-based symbol extraction pipeline can automate this mapping process for debugging.

Can I integrate PE files with a Go PDB parser for function lookup?

Yes, you can integrate PE files with a Go PDB parser. The pdbex Go implementation supports optional PE integration to perform function lookup and map offsets to source locations.

How does rebuilding symbols from PDBs work when porting pdbex to Go?

Rebuilding symbols from PDBs involves parsing the file to extract types and structures, then reconstructing that data into compilable C headers. Porting pdbex to Go enables building this extraction pipeline natively.

Do I need a specific PDB parser interface to extract symbols in Go?

Yes, extracting symbols in Go requires a Go-based PDB parser interface. This interface allows the pipeline to read PDB files, extract structures, and generate the corresponding C headers.

Are there limitations when reconstructing C headers from PDB files in Go?

Reconstructing C headers from PDB files in Go requires accurate parsing of types and structures. Complex or proprietary PDB structures may limit the completeness of the generated compilable headers.
