Typedefs are represented as S_UDT records in the globals stream. This creates a strange situation where "types" are actually represented as "symbols", so they need special handling.
In order to test this, we don't just use lldb and print out some variables causing the AST to get created, because variables whose type is a typedef will have debug info referencing the original type, not the typedef. So we use lldb-test instead which will parse all debug info in the entire file. This exposed some problems with lldb-test and the native reader, mainly that certain types of obscure symbols which we can find when iterating every single record would trigger crashes. These have been fixed as well so that lldb-test can be used to test this functionality.
After this patch, I think most of the remaining DIA PDB tests can be re-written as native PDB tests, so hopefully this means we cane eliminate the DIA reader quite soon.
What's the reason for this? Does the test need msvc linker or something?
