سؤال
I wanted to better understand how debug symbols work in relation with the PE.
As I understand the pdb file holds symbol information on its PE. But how exactly can a debugger take a PE and its pdb file and display code?
For instance:
- What information can be stored in the pdb file that will link to the symbols of the PE
- How does a debugger know to transform an optimized for loop in binary to a for loop in code?
Thanks!
