            Bug ID: 150124
           Summary: [Win] Enforce launcher/library naming scheme
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Misc.
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: bfulgham at webkit.org

There are several compilation units on Windows that have the same target name, differing only in file extension:

MiniBrowser.exe and MiniBrowser.dll
DumpRenderTree.exe and DumpRenderTree.dll

This causes trouble with the debugging symbols, because both "MiniBrowser.exe" and "MiniBrowser.dll" want to produce "MiniBrowser.pdb" for their symbols. This creates a race condition during builds that results in one of the two sets of debugging symbols being lost, which causes problems with producing usable stack traces.

To correct these, we will change the DLL build rules to generate "{Name}Lib.DLL", so that the build output will be:

MiniBrowser.exe -> MiniBrowser.pdb
MiniBrowserLib.dll -> MiniBrowserLib.pdb
DumpRenderTree.exe -> DumpRenderTree.pdb
DumpRenderTreeLib.exe -> DumpRenderTreeLib.pdb

This should resolve these symbol loading issues and help us get usable stack traces.
