[Lldb-commits] [lldb] r349175 - [NativePDB] Fix local-variables.cpp test.

[Zachary Turner via lldb-commits]

Ahh, so I misinterpreted what you originally said.  There is one Clang AST *per
SymboFile*.  In PDB land, compile units are often called "modules" so it's
easy to get confused.  So in my original response, what I actually meant
was that there's no notion of a per compile-unit AST.  But that also had
nothing to do with your question, which was about LLDB modules :)

So anyway, yea the command already supports that as you noted, and
specifying the module basename would also have worked here so that there
would always only be 1 module dumped (turns out, there's only 1 module
dumped anyway because we don't have PDBs for any of the system libraries,
so DumpClangAST is a no-op in those cases).
