Hi all,
cv2pdb is a converter of DMD CodeView debug information to PDB debug
format to make debugging of D applications that were created with the
DMD compiler, as seamless as possible in current versions of Visual
Studio (i.e Visual Studio 2008 and VCExpress).
Major Features:
* conversion of DMD CodeView information to PDB file
* converted line number info allows setting breakpoints
* display of variables, fields and objects in watch, local
and auto window and in data tooltips
* convenient display of dynamic and associative arrays
in watch windows
* demangles function names for convenient display of callstack
Version 0.1 is available now at
http://www.dsource.org/projects/cv2pdb
Enjoy,
Rainer Schuetze

(Although I believe Visual Studio already has limited support for CV debug information...) A question: do you think it's possible to strip the CV debug info from the executable while preserving compatibility with the PDB? I ask this because this would make it possible to do remote debugging and post-mortem (crash dump) analysis with closed-source applications (which can't have debug information in the release executables). -- Best regards, Vladimir mailto:thecybershadow gmail.com

I ask this because this would make it possible to do remote debugging and post-mortem (crash dump) analysis with closed-source applications (which can't have debug information in the release executables).That should not be a big problem. The current implementation renames the DMD debug section. Throwing it out needs some more modifications to the executable, but not a lot. Rainer

A dump showed that there are a few debug entries that don't seem to occur in D code, and that the line numbers are wrong. So, sorry, no simple cure for that problem.
