I guess maybe it is using something that determines that that symbol comes from the file with debug info - because on a similar test case (one file without debug info, defining some global variable `i`, another file with debug info with a `using ns::i` in the global scope - printing `i` when stepping into the second file correctly prints the `using` based alias value, but stepping into the file without debug info and printing `i` complains about not knowing the type of that `i`)

lldb seems to be printing value , but I worry about type.

  * thread #1, name = 'a.out', stop reason = breakpoint 1.1
      frame #0: 0x0000000000400484 a.out`main at test.c:3:12
     1    int oldname = 1;
     2    extern int newname __attribute__((alias("oldname")));
  -> 3    int main(){}
  (lldb) p oldname
  (int) $0 = 1
  (lldb) p newname
  (void *) $1 = 0x0000000000000001
