chore: Read the defines and metadata references a compiled assembly's PDB records - #3279
Conversation
…cords Rebuilding the compilation list at startup without CompilationPipeline.GetAssemblies needs each assembly's defines and references, and the portable PDB already records both as Roslyn custom debug information. A cross-check test compares them with what Unity reports for every compiled assembly of this project.
📝 Walkthrough
Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Hot reload still obtains its compilation list from Unity, so these gaps do not currently change user behavior. They should be tracked before relying on the PDB reader at startup. Security Architecture Review

Validate the full options record before returning defines.
If define\0A\0 is followed by a key with no value, ParseDefines returns A and never detects the malformed pair. This violates Read’s documented malformed-record behavior. Save the define value, then continue parsing all key/value pairs before returning. The Portable PDB format defines the options blob as a sequence of pairs. (github.com)

The rebuilt compilation list decides whether to trust a reference by comparing this MVID with the referenced dll's, so a misread byte order must fail the cross-check rather than only file names being compared. Also reads only the module's custom debug information rows.

Check project assembly reference MVIDs too.
compiledAssemblyReferences contains precompiled references, not project assembly references. The lookup therefore cannot match a project assembly’s PDB reference. Line 133 skips that reference, so this test can pass when its MVID is wrong. Resolve project references separately and compare their PDB MVIDs with the corresponding .ref.dll files.

Without this the reader could return empty defines and references for such a PDB, and the rebuilt compilation list would trust them.

Summary
CompilationPipeline.GetAssemblies()on every compiled assembly of this project.User Impact
What
HotReloadPdbCompilationInfo.Read(pdbPath)reads two of Roslyn's module-level custom debug information records:B5FEEC05-...):define, split on,with order kept. Other keys (language version, unsafe, ...) are ignored because hot reload never readsUnityEditor.Compilation.Assembly.compilerOptions.7E4D4708-...): the file name and MVID of each reference. The alias, kind/flags, timestamp and image size are skipped.InvalidOperationException.Debug.Assert.X.ref.dll, and their MVID is the reference assembly's, not that ofLibrary/ScriptAssemblies/X.dll. Code that compares MVIDs later needs to account for this.Blob layout check
Before writing the parser, the blobs of a real PDB from this project were dumped with System.Reflection.Metadata outside Unity:
