Nate,

Thanks for the great patch! Minor comments:

  1.  Regarding the DllEntryPoint, what's the difference between below line in your patch and the original code that calls GetProcAddress()?
     *   DllEntryPoint = (VOID *) ((UINTN)Library + (UINTN)Hdr.Pe32Plus->OptionalHeader.AddressOfEntryPoint);
  2.  Does it avoid relying on each driver exporting its entrypoint with a fixed symbol name "InitializeDriver"?
Does the new DllEntryPoint equal to the original one retrieved from GetProcAddress()?
What else benifits? (Just curious)
Can it be in a separate patch so that future readers can easily understand the purpose of the change?
  3.  It seems the patch assumes the handle returned from LoadLibrary() is the address of the loaded DLL in memory. I tried to find in MSDN if any doc supports this assumption but failed. Can you provide any?
I am ok if the assumption is based on the current LoadLibrary() implementation. But can you please explicitly mention that assumption in comments?

Thanks,
Ray

Subject: [PATCH v1] EmulatorPkg: Fix Source Level Debug on Windows

The Visual Studio Windows debugger will only load symbols for PE/COFF images
that Windows is aware of. Therefore, to enable source level debugging, all
PEI/DXE modules must be loaded via LoadLibrary() or LoadLibraryEx() and the
the instance in memory created by LoadLibrary() must be the one that is
actually executed.

The current source level debug implementation in EmulatorPkg for Windows is
inherited from the old Nt32Pkg. This implementation makes the assumption that
all PEI/DXE modules have a DLL export tables with a symbol named
InitializeDriver. Therefore, this source level debug implementation requires
all modules to be linked in a non-PI spec defined manner. Support for adding
the InitializeDriver symbol was removed in EmulatorPkg, which broke source
level debugging.

To fix this, the source level debugging implementation has been modified to
use the PE/COFF entry point directly. This brings the implementation into
compliance with the PI spec and should work with any PEIM/DXE driver.
Implementing this requires parsing the in-memory instance of the PE/COFF image
created by Windows to find the entrypoint and since PEIMs/DXE drivers are not
garunteed to have 4KB aligned sections, it also requires explicit configuration
of the page table using VirtualProtect().

With this fix, the debugging experience is now so good it is unprecedented!
In Visual Studio Code, add the following to launch.json:

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "EmulatorPkg Launch",
      "type": "cppvsdbg",
      "request": "launch",
      "program": "${workspaceFolder}/<path_to_build>/Build/EmulatorX64/DEBUG_<tool_chain>/X64/WinHost",
      "args": [],
      "stopAtEntry": false,
      "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/<path_to_build>/Build/EmulatorX64/DEBUG_<tool_chain>/X64/",
      "environment": [],
      "console": false,
    }
  ]
}

Make modifications to the above template as nessesary and build EmulatorPkg.
Now, just add breakpoints directly in Visual Studio Code the way you would with
any other software project. When you start the debugger, it will halt at the
breakpoint automatically without any extra configuration required.
