# gdb-msvc
gdb-msvc is a series of patches for GDB (and bfd) for easier debugging of Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) binaries.
![CI](https://github.com/lesderid/gdb-msvc/workflows/CI/badge.svg)
gdb-msvc is a series of patches for GDB (and its dependencies) for easier debugging of Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) binaries.
## Main features
The main features in this patchset are:
* MSVC demangling support (using [LLVM](https://llvm.org/))
* PDB debug symbol loading (using [radare2](https://github.com/radareorg/radare2)'s libr)
* MSVC demangling support
* PDB debug symbol loading
(Note: we can't currently use LLVM for PDB loading as LLVM doesn't yet expose its PDB functions as a C API and bfd is written in C, not C++.)
These features are implemented using libraries from [LLVM](https://llvm.org/).
**NOTE:** Currently, PDB symbol loading uses [radare2](https://github.com/radareorg/radare2)'s libr. This is being removed in favour of a better implementation that uses LLVM.
