Could someone explain how this “header” aids in debugging? There’s this:
> To Microsoft's credit, the "Rich" header offers invaluable debugging statistics about how a given executable was built.
But how does knowing the compiler version help with debugging? Are we assuming compiler bugs?
- jchw 5y ago“Debugging statistics” might mean something like, when analyzing WER data they could see if a new compiler build was having an elevated error rate, for example. That might not imply compiler bugs; it could also be the result of fixes for things that now crash instead of doing something unsafe.
