The Pdb2Xml command that just left the app was the only way to see a PDB's contents, and it was Windows-only. Mono.Cecil's symbol readers cover the Portable and the Windows (native MSF) format in managed code and pick the right one themselves, so a single dump path serves both on every OS. Cecil's object model, rather than raw metadata, is what makes this work for Windows PDBs at all: they have no metadata tables for --dump-table to read. That also settles the split between the two options - --dump-table stays the raw row view of a Portable PDB, --dump-pdb is the decoded one. Neither symbol reader exposes the document list, so the documents are collected from the sequence points that reference them. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5:Claude Code
