[lldb-dev] Missing function arguments in the backtrace

[Jason Molenda]

Yeah, those sound like more likely to be the core problem than the unwinder in this case..  I haven't had a chance to look into the failure yet myself though. :/

The lldb unwind log isn't printing the pc values of thread 1 frame 0.  frame 1 is clearly the same in both - we have the exact same pc value and we're using the same unwind instructions from the eh_frame.

When it fails, the backtrace is missing all function arguments.  A diff of the attached logs illustrates that RegisterContextLLDB comes up with a more complete register set in the passing case.
