Key Takeaways
How It Works
The RAD Debugger utilizes a custom RAD Debug Info (RDI) format to efficiently parse and convert existing debug information from formats like PDB. This allows for on-demand conversion and improved performance during debugging sessions.
The RAD Linker is designed to handle large projects by generating binaries quickly, leveraging multi-threading and large memory pages to optimize link times.
