The loadpdb functionality is somewhat broken

[guccigang420]

The load pdb functionality does not load datatypes or the function names properly for the .xex executable.

about demangling, I found this, maybe it solves the mangled name problem already:

PDB support for types is coming, but dont expect too much, documentation for both PDBs and Ghidra are very hard to come by

[guccigang420]

Understandable. Hopefully you manage to make it with the types. It's pretty tricky because you have to represent CPP classes as C-Structs with v-tables

well I dont have more time to spend on this, that commit and current release are as good as it gets:

• there is now an option to load a pdb in general, it will open a dialog where you can choose between ghidras builtin parser and m$'s DIA parser (essentially using pdb.exe to produce a xml and parse that)
• theres also an option to use my experimental loader (ignoring the choice in the dialog), which is not complete, but im happy to take in outside help :)

essentially my code can read pretty much every typerecord from the pdb, but the code to apply/import it into ghidra is as best a hack of mine, it needs serious improvement, starting here: https://github.com/zeroKilo/XEXLoaderWV/blob/master/XEXLoaderWV/src/main/java/xexloaderwv/TPIStream.java#L141
