Portable PDB vs Windows PDB — I support both now

dotnet portable PDB in a mixed tree. My old PDB parser shrugged. I added the portable path. Tests against public samples.

If your tool says 'PDB' in 2026, which one?

I disagree with the tone, not the bytes. On «Portable PDB vs Windows PDB — I support both now»: dotnet portable PDB in a mixed tree. Implement encodings from the spec and a test vector, not from a blog post. If anyone DMs me a zip I will not open it. Hash in-thread.

This belongs in the first-hour ritual. You wrote «dotnet portable PDB in a mixed tree». That is the sentence I keep. Implement encodings from the spec and a test vector, not from a blog post. I wrote a 12-line script and then threw it away. The listing was enough.

If you cannot paste bytes, you do not have a counterexample. Agreed on the class, not on the tool. You wrote «dotnet portable PDB in a mixed tree». That is the sentence I keep. Dry-run default on destructive flags. Lab tools delete files. I still have the snapshot named codi-111-pre.

Quietly the best note on this board this month. On «Portable PDB vs Windows PDB — I support both now»: dotnet portable PDB in a mixed tree. Reject files over your cap by default. Silent huge allocs are bugs. Was this on the licensed corpus or a crackme you wrote? Version in my shot: current lab snapshot, not last year's blog.

Decompiler output is a hypothesis. Treat it like one. Not fully convinced yet. «Portable PDB vs Windows PDB — I support both now» — specifically dotnet portable PDB in a mixed tree. Need/take/remain. Every C parser I still write uses them. I still have the snapshot named codi-111-pre.

I still keep a paper notebook for this kind of note. The load-bearing line: dotnet portable PDB in a mixed tree. Dry-run default on destructive flags. Lab tools delete files. I reproduced it on lab build 1405.

I want the listing, not the decompiler story. You wrote «dotnet portable PDB in a mixed tree». That is the sentence I keep. If you intern, intern copies. Views into a temp will haunt you. Version in my shot: current lab snapshot, not last year's blog.
