Summary

Running "llvm-pdbutil dump -all" on linux (using the native PDB reader), over a few PDBs pulled from the Microsoft public symbol store uncovered a few issues:

  • stripped PDBs might not have the strings stream (/names)
  • stripped PDBs might not have the "module info" stream

Out of curiosity, is this a PDB you generated yourself by compiling something and running pdbstrip on it?

Can you print the rest of this section? For example, I think there's actually a field here that says it's stripped.

This section might be interesting to print too. If for no other reason than to server as a reference of what streams are "normal" to expect in a stripped PDB.

182–183

This assert doesn't seem necessary, as it's essentially checking for an out of memory condition.

Thanks Zach for your assistance with this!

I agree. There's a slight downside though - the test becomes very sensitive to the output, including formatting details.

FileCheck is pretty helpful when it comes to this kind of thing. You can regex out anything by putting {{.*}} (so stream sizes, for example), and also you can leave off anything at the end of a line. So for example, for Stream 3 (just picking a random one), you could write your line as:

; CHECK:   Stream 3 ({{.*}} bytes): [DBI Stream]
; CHECK:   Stream 4

Note the absence of the NEXT (because we're skipping blocks, and we're regex'ing out the stream sizes. So all of the sensitive stuff goes away.

However.... I don't think we should check in this particular PDB (or any other PDB that we didn't generate ourselves). Microsoft has tools that will strip PDBs, although I forget what it's called off the top of my head. Can we generate a private PDB using cl.exe, strip it using their tool, verify that it has the same properties as this PDB, and then use that one instead?
