Hey,

Nice seeing you added debugger capabilities! I have a few questions if you don't mind

What is this 'DIA' thing you are talking about to load symbols? Is it open source? I could not find it anywhere (though maybe my search terms were off).

And could you maybe give me some pointers as to how you recognize functions and local variables? Do you scan all instructions and populate a nice graph or do you do a linear scan with some algorithms to detect functions or maybe a combination? I am interested in this because I want to implement some of this in x64dbg

Another small thing, is the arrow location just 'wrong' or is is placed between instructions for a reason? See this screenshot: http://prntscr.com/6ukf81

On and before I forget it, could you share some insight on how you implemented these python functions? I saw the python libs, but do you have some trick to auto generate the required function definitions or is it all manual work?

Greetings

it's open source, comes with Visual Studio you should have it in VS path e.g. "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\DIA SDK\Samples"

first I scan to find begin and the end of the function (it's not always an easy task) and then just 'walk' the function marking, recording instructions related to stack pointer.

there is no reason, it's calculated based on QFontMetrics lineSpacing. Please change font to get hopefully more accurate position but personally it did not bother me that its a millimeter off.

it's manual work but you could use SWIG if you have a lot of functions.
