After 2.0 release, Miguel de Icaza reflects on Mono's past and future
10-08-2008 01:00 PM
Few free and open source software projects have attracted such a range of reactions as Mono. On one hand, as an implementation of Microsoft's .Net that's sponsored by Novell, it has been vilified both for the company it keeps and as a possible source of patent claims, should Microsoft choose to get nasty. On the other hand, Mono has been the platform of choice for such major projects as Second Life, which uses it to increase the efficiency of its servers. This week, as the Mono project reached version 2.0, Miguel de Icaza, the project's founder and maintainer, talked with Linux.com about the history of the project, its application and the criticism leveled at it, and where the project goes from here.

NAME

       pdb2mdb - Program Database to Mono Debugging Symbol converter.

SYNOPSIS

       pdb2mdb pdb_file

DESCRIPTION

       This  tool  is  used  to convert debugging symbols generated by Microsoft's compilers into debugging symbols that can be consumed by Mono's
       runtime.

       Program Database files are files that end with the extension .pdb and are associated with a library or executable (a .dll  or  .exe  file).
       This  format  was until recently not documented so Mono used its own file format for storing debugging information, the Mono debugging for-
       mat.

       Just like PDB files Mono Debugging information is stored in files that reside side-by-side with a program executable or a library.

       You can use the pdb2mdb tool to transform these PDB files into MDB files that Mono can then consume to debug programs or provide  line-num-
       ber information for stack traces or exceptions.

LICENSE

       The  pdb2mdb tool is  released under the terms of the Microsoft Public License (MS-PL).	JB Evain wrote the tool.   The PDB reading support
       came from Microsoft Common Compiler Infrastructure.
