Summary: Build should optionally produce .pdb file suitable for use with symbol server Product: Wine Version: 1.1.5 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: build-env AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
When Windows applications with their own crash logging systems crash, they report the stack dump to their own crash dump server, which uses Microsoft-supplied .pdb files (or Microsoft's symbol server) to resolve the symbol names in system DLLs. Wine should also provide such .pdb files, for use by vendors in analyzing crash dumps. There should be an identifying key in the crash dump and the .pdb file allowing the crash server or debugger to choose the proper .pdb file; MSFT must support that, let's see if we can use the same mechanism they do to handle the much larger number of Wine versions and flavors.
