[lldb-dev] GetSymbolContext(lldb.eSymbolContextEverything)

[Kamenee Arumugam via lldb-dev]

Hi Greg,

Thanks for your reply. I did try the method you mention above but
variable.GetLocation() only provide me the memory address of the variable.
What exactly I am looking for was  the register offset that stores variable
i here. Example, I am looking for method able to output the one highlighted
in yellow:

Variable: id = {0x000000a2}, name = "i", type= "int", location =
DW_OP_fbreg(-564), decl = ivm_demo.c:6


Basically, I am working on  a binary instrumentation research tool, that
will inject code to check changes on selected variable. Therefore, using
register offset, I am able to inject check for instruction using this
register with this offset.
Please let me know if you have any better method to grab register offset
for particular variable.

Thanks,
Kamenee
