fts_autosln is a command line tool written in Rust that generates Visual Studio solutions from an application's pdbs.
It can process an sln from either both an exe on disk or a running process.
Why does this exist? It's a niche tool. The primary use cases are:
- A project involves mixed build systems. For example native plugins + Unreal or Unity.
- A project uses a build system that doesn't generate clean
.slnfiles.
The intent is for the generated project to be used for code editing and debugging. It does not replace any existing build system.
// from-file: recursively find and read pdbs from disk
fts_autosln.exe --sln-path foo.sln -source_roots "C:/path/to/src" from-file "C:/path/to/bin/foo.exe"
// from-process-name: load symbols via SymInitialize
fts_autosln.exe --sln-path foo.sln -source_roots "C:/path/to/src" from-process-name foo.exe
Download from Releases or clone repository and build locally with Rust via cargo build.
