Hi all, I'm currently working on a patch that requires updating to all our debug information parsers and I noticed that we have two PDB plugins. One seems to be 'native' and uses a LLVM-internal parser while the non-native reuses parts of Microsoft DIA SDK from what I can see.
IIUC the native plugin is the more recently added one and it also doesn't require the external Microsoft SDK (that only exists on Windows). I wonder if there is a reason to keep the non-native PDB plugin around in LLDB? Beside the expected additional burden of having two independent PDB parsers, having a parser that only works on Windows is making maintenance especially difficult. Unless removing the non-native PDB plugin has some negative impact on users (e.g., missing features in native plugin that work with the non-native plugin), I would propose we delete it and only keep the native PDB plugin in LLDB which seems far less work to maintain.
