<pre>I'm having trouble debugging my application with LLDB on Mac because it seems
to fail to find some of the compiled object files, which are inside a static
link library (.a file). Objects which are compiled directly into the binary
seem to be OK.
I get errors like this when I first try to access line-level information:
(lldb) l BackupStoreFile.cpp
error: backupstore.a(BackupStoreFile.o) failed to load objfile for
/Users/chris/projects/2004/boxi/bb-git/bin/bbackupquery/../../debug/lib/backupstore/backupstore.a
error: backupstore.a(BackupCommands.o) failed to load objfile for
/Users/chris/projects/2004/boxi/bb-git/bin/bbackupquery/../../debug/lib/backupstore/backupstore.a
...
error: common.a(autogen_CommonException.o) failed to load objfile for
/Users/chris/projects/2004/boxi/bb-git/bin/bbackupquery/../../debug/lib/common/common.a
error: Could not find source file "BackupStoreFile.cpp".
I suspect that either lldb does not fully understand the .a archive format, or
another bug prevents it from locating the correct object file inside the
archive. It is definitely there:
chris@Chriss-MacBook-Pro(backupstorepatch)$ ar t
/Users/chris/projects/2004/boxi/bb-git/bin/bbackupquery/../../debug/lib/backupstore/backupstore.a
