[lldb-dev] Not able to set breakpoints above line #70 in lldb-mi.

[Greg Clayton via lldb-dev]

Seems to work for me just fine with your binary:

lldb /Volumes/work/gclayton/Downloads/MipsTest.bin
(lldb) target create "/Volumes/work/gclayton/Downloads/MipsTest.bin"
Current executable set to '/Volumes/work/gclayton/Downloads/MipsTest.bin' (mipsr6el).
(lldb) break set -H -f Main.cpp -l 70
Breakpoint 1: where = MipsTest.bin`main + 520 at Main.cpp:70, address = 0x00013488
(lldb) break set -H -f Main.cpp -l 72
Breakpoint 2: where = MipsTest.bin`main + 544 at Main.cpp:72, address = 0x000134a0
(lldb) b
Current breakpoints:
1: file = 'Main.cpp', line = 70, exact_match = 0, locations = 1
  1.1: where = MipsTest.bin`main + 520 at Main.cpp:70, address = MipsTest.bin[0x00013488], unresolved, hit count = 0 

2: file = 'Main.cpp', line = 72, exact_match = 0, locations = 1
  2.1: where = MipsTest.bin`main + 544 at Main.cpp:72, address = MipsTest.bin[0x000134a0], unresolved, hit count = 0 

You don't need to use lldb-mi to reproduce this. Command line LLDB should give you the same results.

What version of LLDB are you using?

I am using lldb-mi as my primary use for it is as an intermediary for a visual debugger, but I get the same behavior when using it myself.

However, when I attempt to set any breakpoint above line #70, it comes up as ‘unresolved’ (though the addresses shown in the list seem reasonable) and does not submit anything to the stub as a result.
