# gdb-msvc
![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
* PDB debug symbol loading
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.
## Building
* `mkdir build && cd build`
* `../configure --target=i686-w64-mingw32 <other configure flags>`
* `make` (and `make install`)
Packages:
* Arch Linux: [gdb-msvc-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gdb-msvc-git/) (AUR)
