It was the official build that I downloaded yesterday from the xbmc homepage. Today it says there are no more beta downloads till final release of Eden though.
So, a PDB file for the official win32 Eden Beta3 binary is really not available? Would be sad.
Maybe someone with a running VS2010 toolchain could provide an EXE file and the matching PDB?
EDIT:
A release build would be great since a debug build would link to the debug dlls of DX which I don't have.
Nevertheless, even for release builds Visual Studio usually (if not explicitly deactivated) creates debug symbols to a separate file with the extension 'pdb'.
With that file it is possible to debug even release versions to some extent. At least you get the relation from assembler code to source code lines, making it possible to set breakpoints and step through the code. Sure, the debug possibilites are highly limited due to code optimization (like inlining) etc.
Well, my experience at least. Though I didnt debug XBMC myself yet
Thanks!
