[lldb-dev] lldb showing wrong type structure for virtual pointer type

[Jim Ingham via lldb-dev]

Jonas,

What are you using to inspect the this pointer?  You can use "frame variable" (the equivalent of gdb's "info locals") which just relies on debug info or the expression evaluator e.g. "print".  Do both methods show the same problem?

Also note that lldb by default will try to discern the full dynamic type of the variables it prints.  You can disable this by doing:

(lldb) expr -d no-dynamic-values -- this

or equivalently:

(lldb) frame variable -d no-dynamic-values this

Is it the dynamic value resolution that's causing the incorrect printing?

Jim
