How can I convert private pdb to public pdb?

I have private pdb file and I have to convert it to a public one. Is there tool for it?

Solution

  • You can create a stripped pdb file that doesn't contain; Type information, Line number information, Per-object file CodeView symbols such as those for functions, locals, and static data. See the /PDBSTRIPPED compiler option.

    EDIT: There does appear to be a utility that is part of the DDK that can convert a full symbol file to a stripped symbol file it is called BinPlace the forum I found the information on suggested there might be problems with certain versions of the utility so be warned (forum article).
