Named Stream Map
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
Following the header is a serialized hash table whose key type is a string, and
|
||||
whose value type is an integer. The existence of a mapping ``X -> Y`` means
|
||||
that the stream with the name ``X`` has stream index ``Y`` in the underlying MSF
|
||||
file. Note that not all streams are named (for example, the
|
||||
:doc:`TPI Stream <TpiStream>` has a fixed index and as such there is no need to
|
||||
look up its index by name). In practice, there are usually only a small number
|
||||
of named streams and these are enumerated in the table of streams in :doc:`index`.
|
||||
A corollary of this is if a stream does have a name (and as such is in the named
|
||||
stream map) then consulting the Named Stream Map is likely to be the only way to
|
||||
discover the stream's MSF stream index. Several important streams (such as the
|
||||
global string table, which is called ``/names``) can only be located this way, and
|
||||
so it is important to both produce and consume this correctly as tools will not
|
||||
function correctly without it.
|
||||
|
||||
.. important::
|
||||
Some streams are located by fixed indices (e.g TPI Stream has index 2), but
|
||||
other streams are located by fixed names (e.g. the string table is called
|
||||
``/names``) and can only be located by consulting the Named Stream Map.
|
||||
|
||||
The on-disk layout of the Named Stream Map consists of 2 components. The first is
|
||||
a buffer of string data prefixed by a 32-bit length. The second is a serialized
|
||||
hash table whose key and value types are both ``uint32_t``. The key is the offset
|
||||
of a null-terminated string in the string data buffer specifying the name of the
|
||||
stream, and the value is the MSF stream index of the stream with said name.
|
||||
Note that although the key is an integer, the hash function used to find the right
|
||||
bucket hashes the string at the corresponding offset in the string data buffer.
|
||||
|
||||
The on-disk layout of the serialized hash table is described at :doc:`HashTable`.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the entire Named Stream Map is not length-prefixed, so the only way to
|
||||
get to the data following it is to de-serialize it in its entirety.

PDB Feature Codes
|
||||
=================
|
||||
Following the Named Stream Map, and consuming all remaining bytes of the PDB
|
||||
Stream is a list of values from the following enumeration:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: c++
|
||||
|
||||
enum class PdbRaw_FeatureSig : uint32_t {
|
||||
VC110 = 20091201,
|
||||
VC140 = 20140508,
|
||||
NoTypeMerge = 0x4D544F4E,
|
||||
MinimalDebugInfo = 0x494E494D,
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
The meaning of these values is summarized by the following table:
|
||||
|
||||
+------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
|
||||
| Flag | Meaning |
|
||||
+==================+=================================================+
|
||||
| VC110 | - No other features flags are present |
|
||||
| | - PDB contains an :doc:`IPI Stream <TpiStream>` |
|
||||
+------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
|
||||
| VC140 | - Other feature flags may be present |
|
||||
| | - PDB contains an :doc:`IPI Stream <TpiStream>` |
|
||||
+------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
|
||||
| NoTypeMerge | - Presumably duplicate types can appear in the |
|
||||
| | TPI Stream, although it's unclear why this |
|
||||
| | might happen. |
|
||||
+------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
|
||||
| MinimalDebugInfo | - Program was linked with /DEBUG:FASTLINK |
|
||||
| | - There is no TPI / IPI stream, all type info |
|
||||
| | is contained in the original object files. |

Matching a PDB to its executable

================================

The linker is responsible for writing both the PDB and the final executable, and
