PDB is a Microsoft proprietary file format. I can't do anything with an undocumented format.

Has WinDbg support for .dbg files ?

[Pelle]

I hardly ever use WinDbg, so I don't know for sure, but I don't think so. There is also a problem with the CodeView format inside .pdb/.dbg files, since it has become proprietary too in recent years (and evolved). The situation is really poor: on Windows there is no standard debugging format like DWARF, only the (more or less) de facto standard of CodeView (due to lack of competition). I'm really fed up with Microsoft in general, so supporting some other debugging format would be nice, but it would only mean lots of work without any real benefits. The CodeView format I use will work fine within the Pelles C tools, but will probably not work well in other places...
