PeCodeViewInfo

PeCodeViewInfo

Description

CodeView debug record extracted from the PE Debug Directory. The matching PDB file is identified by its (guid, age) pair; the pdb_path is a hint from the linker (usually an absolute path on the build machine – callers should treat it as a basename plus fallback search rather than an authoritative location).

Fields

Name Description
present True if the PE contained a CodeView entry. False for binaries built without -debug / /DEBUG or stripped of debug info entirely.
guid 16-byte unique identifier matching the corresponding PDB’s signature.
age Generation counter incremented on every PDB write; the PDB must have the same age to be considered a match.
pdb_path NUL-terminated string borrowed from the PE bytes. Valid until PeFileDeinit.
