pdb-type-viewer's Issues

Inheritance over empty types assumes the type to be sizeof == 1

Given a type T of size S, with a parent which is totally empty, the padding is calculated to be -1.

This happens because the type size is reported as S but the actual padding calculation adds the empty parents size == 1 (by assumption) which results in calculating the padding improperly.

It seems that:
Padding-For-Parent = Total-Size - (Parent-Offset + Parent-Size)

I will submit a proper screenshot later.

About dialog box

Add proper dialog box with possible list of contributors :)

PDB analysis pane which allows to filter out types by specified qualifiers

This should include:

• overall type padding
• min / max / average / median padding
• "recoverable" paddings - more advanced analysis which tries to determine if any member shuffling will optimize type padding

Highlighting paddings which can be merged together

Different highlight of paddings at same level

Window titlebar should include name of loaded PDB

Introduce bit-padding detection

Currently, only byte-padding detection is supported.

Bit-padding detection should also report different base types for bitfields

Exporting type hierarchy to report file

Overview of previewed type in type descriptor pane

Sorting members of type includes bit offsets in bitfields

Optimize performance when switching type descriptors

Currently, a full iterate-over search is performed in order to search symbol with specified name.

This may be optimized by type-erasure of actual implementation of ptv::pdb_type with reference to symbol found during loading.

Base types are not displayed at beginning

Allow to work on multiple PDB files

Add `go to type` in context menu in field

Virtual inheritance reports wrong padding
