[Lldb-commits] [PATCH] D55142: Minidump debugging using the native PDB reader

[Leonard Mosescu via lldb-commits]

I think as combination of explicit symbol search path + something similar
to Microsoft's symsrv would be a good "real" solution (and yes, that would
be packaged as a SymbolVendor, outside SymbolFilePDB)

For short term, I don't see a clearly superior alternative to searching the
current directory.
