This is more of a question than a bug report.

In playing with LLDB on a Windows 10 I struggled to get the breakpoints to
work.

Eventually I stumbled across the cause of the issue, which is described in the
steps below:

1. Open command line prompt:

    Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.836]
    (c) 2019 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

2. Run LLDB on a debug 'test.exe' but as shown below the breakpoints fail to
set:

    C:\Tutorial\c++>lldb.exe test.exe
    (lldb) target create "test.exe"
    Current executable set to 'C:\Tutorial\c++\test.exe' (i686).
    (lldb) b 7
    error: No selected frame to use to find the default file.
    error: No file supplied and no default file available.
    (lldb) exit

3. The command prompt used was not configured to run the Microsoft compiler:

    C:\Tutorial\c++>cl.exe
    'cl.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file.

4. I then setup the command prompt to run the Microsoft compiler using their
standard batch file:

    C:\Tutorial\c++>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2019\Community\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat"
    **********************************************************************
    ** Visual Studio 2019 Developer Command Prompt v16.6.0
    ** Copyright (c) 2020 Microsoft Corporation
    **********************************************************************

5. With the command prompt configured for the Microsoft compiler:

    C:\Tutorial\c++>cl.exe
    Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.26.28805 for x86
    Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

6. Now the LLDB breakpoints work as expected:

    C:\Tutorial\c++>lldb.exe test.exe
    (lldb) target create "test.exe"
    Current executable set to 'C:\Tutorial\c++\test.exe' (i686).
    (lldb) b 7
    Breakpoint 1: where = test.exe`_main + 87 at test.cpp:7, address =
0x0040b527
    (lldb) exit

So it seems the LLDB is somehow dependent of the Microsoft compiler environment
setup. Is this correct?

If so what is the actual dependency?

Cheers Jussi
