Re: [cdt-debug-dev] Windows Debug API - CDI Implementation

[Douglas Schaefer <dschaefe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I had trouble with dbghelp as well. I found the latest version that ships 
with the Debugging Tools for Windows to have fixed a number of problems. 
I'll include a comprehensive set up guide for this thing when I check it 
in. There are a number of tools and SDKs you have to download from 
Microsoft. I am also using Ant and cpptasks for a build environment 
(further exploration work) which gave me the flexibility that managed 
build can't at the moment.

+1.
I have done similar work to integrate Win32 SDK debug API in Eclipse. But 
it
works directly with the Eclipse debug framework and the CDT extensions
bypassing the CDI layer. I was using it to test some CDT UI components and
it is far from being comleted.
I've had problems with some of the Win32 API functions and especially with
the DbgHelp library.
