[lldb-dev] Problem unwinding from inside of a CRT function

[Zachary Turner]

Btw, I'm still a little uncomfortable that not having unwind/ symbol info
at any point no matter how deep in a function call chain, has the
possibility to mess up a step over. In my original example, i had symbols
for main but not printf. Is that not sufficient to step over a call to
printf? It should be able to know from that a) the bounds of main(), b) the
pc corresponding to the next line of source after printf, and c) the value
of esp. Aren't those 3 pieces of information enough to step over any line
of source, regardless of whether you have unwind information for the code
inside the function you're stepping over?
