Debugging at the next level...

[Timo Kreuzer]

Source level debugging thanks to MSVC and pdb files.
Only the line numbers seem to be a bit off.

This makes me very _VERY_ happy!!!!
Today is going to be a good day J

Great work Timo!!!
I was also using windbg with pdb with my 32 bit mscv kernel version, it really makes
debugging so more powerful and easy… PDB support was one of the main reasons I wanted to
build with msvc.
I hope to finish very soon a few modifications to the new trap handler so that it can also
be compiled with msvc. Currently the traps are working and the interrupts will soon.
Once I have the 32bit kernel compiled with msvc working again, I’ll check your stuff to
see how could the 32 and 64 bit builds share the most.
I’m afraid that Sir Richard didn’t understand that his trap handler can’t be compiled with
anything but gcc, most probably my fault coz my unpolite way to communicate it.
But I hope that after I have my branch booting and he could check it out, will accept my
apologies and reconsider adopting the modifications, coz otherwise the trunk will not be
compatible with anything but gcc.

I will mediate any disputes (hopefully there will be none, of
course), and I am sure rich wants to have as more portable code as
possible. I think when trap handlers are finished (right now it's
still WIP) GCCisms could be isolated / removed (because we would have
a solid test base to test for possible regressions during this process).
Your help is always highly appreciated.
WBR,
Aleksey.
