adobe - why do some executables and libraries reference PDB files and some not -


During the development of my PE analysis tool, I saw that some XE and libraries (such as Adobe Reader) refer to a debug PDB. File. Some people do not even reference any PDB files at all. Some complete paths show directories on the machine, with some relative paths, with some PDB file names. What is the best solution? No PDB, context of relative path, reference to full path?

You ask "about the best solution", but did not solve the problem.
If you specify the / debug switch and the object files are compiled with debug info (/ GI / or ZI) then Linker has added the PDB record. Whether it is relative or absolute, the way it was made depends on it. I think Microsoft has an internal device to edit the path, so that you can see just the filename in the last .exe. Since it has been identified by GUID, the actual path is not very important.
