RE: [cdt-dev] Microsoft VisualC++ toolchain

[Douglas Schaefer <dschaefe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Lars. It is a big undertaking. Emiliano, if you want to take a 
crack at it, feel free. The main objective was to hook up the CDT to the 
dbghelp APIs in win32 using JNI. Unfortunately, this API isn't well 
documented and there are few examples of its use on the Web. It'll require 
a lot of testing to get right. We can move this part of the discussion to 
cdt-debug-dev.
