After looking at various PDB parsers and libraries, I'm still most satisfied with pdbparse. Actually we don't need the most complete PDB parser. We need something that is just good enough to satisfy LibVMI. And in that matter I really like the simplicity of pdbparse and the fact that it's the only lenient parser I found that doesn't awfully crash when it reaches the unknown leaf or other structure.
Unfortunately pdbparse is a bit undermaintained for now and we need to develop it a bit.
I would also like to make drakpdb a separate component, usable for other Drakvuf users as well. It will also make it easier to test against various PDBs.
I hope it will solve the problems mentioned in CERT-Polska/drakvuf-sandbox#937
