The "New" windows debug format is coff,
which gdb understands just fine.
VTune may only recognize CodeView, I don't know
but compiling/linking with /Z7 and /ZI will allow
you to use gdb with any MS .obj.
You can force the Microsoft Compiler/Linker to store the debug
information in the *.exe files
Look at the following help file from Developer Studio
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Note To create a library that contains debugging information
without using .PDB files, you must select the compilers C7 Compatible
(/Z7) option and clear the linkers Use Program Database (/PDB:NONE)
option. If you use the precompiled headers options, debugging
information for both the precompiled header and the rest of the source
code is placed in the PDB. The /Yd option is ignored when the Program
Database option is specified.
