hi,
amount of information a .pdbfile can provide depends on whether the private information has been stripped or not (using the /PDBSTRIPPED flag on Microsoft's compiler.)
Do not expect to find all the details about all the structures because private data might have been removed.

PdbDump might help you[^]
its related article is here[^]

another useful article is How to Inspect the Content of a Program Database (PDB) File[^]

hope this helps.
