[lldb-dev] lldb10 can not hit break point on windows platform

[Greg Clayton via lldb-dev]

As long as the location TestFunction.cpp:1 has a valid line in the PDB line tables, this breakpoint should be hit if there is debug info and the internal PDB parser is parsing things correctly. If you have debug info in your binary, _and_ if LLDB is able to locate your PDB file, then you should end up seeing a location if it was found. We can see this isn't happening:

(lldb）br s -fE:/test/TestFunction.cpp -l1
Breakpoint 1: no locations(pending).
WARNING :  Unable to resolve breakpoint to any actual locations.

I would suggest debugging the LLDB and debugging:

uint32_t SymbolFilePDB::ResolveSymbolContext(const lldb_private::FileSpec &file_spec, uint32_t line, bool check_inlines, SymbolContextItem resolve_scope, lldb_private::SymbolContextList &sc_list);

This function is what turns the file (in "file_spec") and line (in "line") into a symbol context list (in "sc_list"). A SymbolContext is a class that defines a complete symbol file context for something. It contains a Module (executable), CompileUnit (if there is debug info for the source file), Function (if there is debug info for the function), Block (lexical block of the deepest lexical block that contains the start address for the file + line), LineEntry (source file and line number, which might have a line number greater than what you requested if there was no perfect match), and Symbol (symbol from the symbol table). We have a symbol context list, because you might have multiple matches for a given source file and line if your functions was inlined.

You might try just doing:

(lldb) b TestFunction.cpp:1

And seeing if that helps. If the debug information doesn't contain the exact same path of "E:/test/TestFunction.cpp", it might not set the breapoint if the path in the debug info contains symlinks or is a relative path.

Does anyone know if the "pdb" file shows up when doing "image list" in LLDB? On mac if we have a stand alone debug info file, we show it below the executable:

(lldb) target create "/tmp/a.out"
Current executable set to '/tmp/a.out' (x86_64).
(lldb) image list a.out
[  0] E76A2647-AFB4-3950-943A-CB1D701B7C07 0x0000000100000000 /tmp/a.out 
      /tmp/a.out.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/a.out


If you do a "image list" on your executable, it would be interesting to see if the pdb file shows up in this output.

I want to know, is llvm 10.0.1 support this using on windows platform. since before we use llvm5.0 on windows platform is OK, breakpoints can be hit. but while update version to 10.0.1, with same operation ,breakpoints can not be hit. so is llvm10.0.1 support or has any changes on this using on windows platform?
