hi
i am getting “Failed to calculate struct member alignment“ when loading a certain PDB. the PDB is kinda private so ill send it (+ exe) to anyone interested.
Hi,
Thanks for reporting this. We understand your concerns, and, as always, we’d like to help - but it’s quite hard for us to determine what’s happening without a sample (e.g., shared through the support channel) or further examples.

Can [my modified version of the pdb plugin](https://github.com/sonyps5201314/pdb… .git) be merged into the official repository? It provides many bug fixes and feature enhancements. For example, when using the current official version of the pdb plugin, `ida -Opdb:msdia ConsoleApplication1.exe` will not display local variable names within the function, as shown below:
source code build with `vs2022 x86 debug`:
```cpp
#include <string>
int main()
{
int aaa = 1111;
float bbb = 2.345;
std::string ccc = "test";
return aaa + bbb + ccc.length();
}
```
the original pdb plugin:

After replacing it with the `pdb.dll` compiled from my warehouse:

Reproduction code and exe and pdb:

Other fixes and enhancements can be viewed via [the git commit log](https://github.com/sonyps5201314/pdb/commits/master/) (Through the Chrome browser's built-in translation function), or I can give a rough description of the changes if needed.
Maybe the file attached in this link can solve your problem.
