Conversation
This commit adds a new parameter to PortablePdbWriter.WritePdb that allows the caller to specify the exact Guid and timestamp that should be used in the generated PDB. This will be useful for several scenarios that are interesting for the Visual Studio debugger's integration: 1. Generating a PDB for an assembly that was built without debug info. The PDB writer currently fails in this case, since the input assembly has no debug directory from which to extract the relevant info. The debugger can provide values that will allow us to load the generated PDB. 2. Generating a PDB for an assembly that has multiple debug directories. The PDB writer currently uses the first debug directory it finds, but this isn't necessarily the correct one. The debugger can provide the correct values.

Problem
The Visual Studio debugger's decompiler integration needs to be able to control the ID used for generated PDBs. There are a couple of scenarios that are interesting to us:
Solution
This commit adds a new parameter to
PortablePdbWriter.WritePdbthat allows the caller to specify the exact Guid and timestamp that should be used in the generated PDB.
