[Lldb-commits] [PATCH] D54454: Be more permissive in what we consider a variable name.

[Zachary Turner via lldb-commits]

I know when I stepped through it with the Pi example, it was returning all
matches, but not filtering down the results based on the template parameter
first, so you’d get back every instantiation but the template parameter
would be treated as a subexpression.

I think the SymbolFile plugin should just get the whole string though and
do this filtering itself. Might be hard for complicated template arguments.
But if it’s too hard the plugin can always just give up and do what it
currently does.

For PDB it’s the other way around, without this information lookup is
actually impossible, because you have to hash the record name, and the
template parameters are part of the hash
