[lldb-dev] lldb10 can not hit break point on windows platform

So the good news is the DWARF seems to be valid.
I think LLDB is having problems with this ELF file because it is an object file (e_type == ET_REL) or because it has no program headers.
There were some changes made to LLDB where we would put any section headers that were contained in program headers inside of a section named for the program headers. So you will normally end up with sections in LLDB like:
PT_LOAD[0]
.note.android.ident
.note.gnu.build-id
.dynsym
.gnu.version
.gnu.version_r
.gnu.hash
.hash
.dynstr
.rel.dyn
.ARM.exidx
.rel.plt
.ARM.extab
.rodata
.text
.plt
PT_LOAD[1]
.fini_array
.data.rel.ro
.dynamic
.got
.got.plt
PT_LOAD[2]
.data
.bss
.comment
.ARM.attributes
.debug_str
.debug_loc
.debug_abbrev
.debug_info
.debug_ranges
.debug_macinfo
.debug_frame
.debug_line
.debug_aranges
.symtab
.shstrtab
.strtab
Note how any section that is contained within a program header is contained within a PT_LOAD[N] section.
If I load your ELF binary, I can set a breakpoint:
(lldb) b TestFunction.cpp:1
Breakpoint 1: where = ELFData.txt`::20000() + 4 at TestFunction.cpp:1:7, address = 0x0000000000000004
I can also view the line table that LLDB was able to parse:
(lldb) target modules dump line-table TestFunction.cpp
Line table for /test/E:/test/TestFunction.cpp in `ELFData.txt
0x0000000000000000: E:/test/TestFunction.cpp
0x0000000000000004: E:/test/TestFunction.cpp:1:7
0x000000000000000c: E:/test/TestFunction.cpp:2:7
0x0000000000000014: E:/test/TestFunction.cpp:3:7
0x000000000000001c: E:/test/TestFunction.cpp:4:7
0x000000000000002a: E:/test/TestFunction.cpp:4:7
But if we look at the sections, we see the sections had their addresses changed. If we look at what is in the ELF file:
$ elf.py /tmp/ELFData.txt
ELF: /tmp/ELFData.txt (x86_64)
ELF Header:
e_ident[EI_MAG0 ] = 0x7f

We can see the .text section has an address of 0x00000137f1030000, but in LLDB it gets set to zero:

So I am not sure if this is due to the program header changes in LLDB, or due to the fact that this file is basically a .o file with relocations (the ELF header shows the e_type is ET_REL).
If you have an older LLDB that did work, it would be interesting to load this ELF file into that LLDB and see what the "image dump sections" looks like.

Since I think my debug info is all generated by llvm tegother with IR in the first phrase, which is all contained in binary code. I don't know in the second phrase, while JIT load binary code to generate execute process, weather JIT will meanwhile generate some other debug info in PDB forms on windows platform, if so, which library in llvm do this work, and how does lldb load these PDB symbols. Because if PDB needs to be generated, maybe this is what I missed.

But the result is the file_addr of each line can not be found from the section list addresses. So at last lines are not found, breakpoint not hit.

Can you help me to analyse the debug info in ELF, check whether there is anything wrong in debug info, which causes breakpoints not to be hit.

If you have debug info in your binary, _and_ if LLDB is able to locate your PDB file, then you should end up seeing a location if it was found. We can see this isn't happening:

A SymbolContext is a class that defines a complete symbol file context for something. It contains a Module (executable), CompileUnit (if there is debug info for the source file), Function (if there is debug info for the function), Block (lexical block of the deepest lexical block that contains the start address for the file + line), LineEntry (source file and line number, which might have a line number greater than what you requested if there was no perfect match), and Symbol (symbol from the symbol table). We have a symbol context list, because you might have multiple matches for a given source file and line if your functions was inlined.

I want to know, is llvm 10.0.1 support this using on windows platform. since before we use llvm5.0 on windows platform is OK, breakpoints can be hit. but while update version to 10.0.1, with same operation ,breakpoints can not be hit. so is llvm10.0.1 support or has any changes on this using on windows platform?
