[lldb-dev] python SBBreakpoint questions

[Bill Terwilliger]

Thanks Carlo! I am able to find the current breakpoint with GetStopReasonDataAtIndex(0).

New problem… when I find my breakpoint, I'm calling bp.SetEnabled(False) and then process.Continue(), and that seems to work as expected. But later when I use target.breakpoint_iter() to iterate over all of the breakpoints, it stops iterating after a single breakpoint.  The script is setting 12 breakpoints, 9 of them are being triggered (and disabled.) My understanding of the code is that all 12 breakpoints should still be there regardless of the their 'enabled' state. When I take out the bp.SetEnabled(False) line, the iterator continues to work as expected. Is this a bug or am I doing something else wrong?

My script creates a bunch of breakpoints (by address), launches the target and then goes into an infinite loop checking 'process.GetState()'. The scripts checks for a state of 'eStateStopped', and then iterates through the threads until it finds a thread stop reason of 'eStopReasonBreakpoint'. The issue with that approach is that I can't figure out which breakpoint triggered the thread to stop. So I guess I have two questions, (1) how do I use SetCallback() to call a method when a breakpoint is triggered and (2) if I know which thread hit my breakpoint, how do I know which SBBreakpoint triggered?

The documentation for SBBreakpoint gives a prototype of SetCallback(BreakpointHitCallback callback, void baton) but BreakpointHitCallback doesn't appear to be documented in the python docs.
