Re: [PATCH] ld: Align the PDB DBI source-info substream
Jan Beulich requests a reference for the 4-byte alignment requirement of PDB DBI substreams and suggests code refinements. The proposed changes aim to align the source-info substream and correct the integer type used in the alignment calculation, ensuring proper formatting for debugging information.
