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

 Hi, all:
 Thanks for your answer. Maybe my description is not clear enough.
MLExecuteTest.exe is just a shell to compile and execute TestFunctin.cpp,
the step is below:
  1. call llvm function to compile TestFunction.cpp, this will create
module ,function, block, instruction, and generate binary code with debug
info;
  2. it uses JIT ExecuteEnginie to execute the binary code.
  and what I use lldb to debug is the binary code generated from
TestFunction.cpp. So I am not concerned about the pdb of MLExecuteTest.exe.

  According to your suggestion, I have debug lldb source code, set
breakpoint in SymbolFilePDB::ResolveSymbolContext, but not come in this
function. Since I think my debug info is all generated by llvm tegother
with IR in the first phrase, which is all contained in binary code. I don't
know in the second phrase, while JIT load binary code to generate execute
process, weather JIT will meanwhile generate some other debug info in PDB
forms on windows platform, if so, which library in llvm do this work, and
how does lldb load these PDB symbols. Because if PDB needs to be generated,
maybe this is what I missed.

  On the other hand, I've debug the lldb to see what happens in
CompileUnit::ResolveSymbolContext, and found that every debug line can be
parsed from DWARFDebugLine.cpp, then the function
FindLineEntryIndexByFileIndex in LinTable.cpp will find whether the
file_addr of line entry is contained in file addresses of section list(I
don't know the reason why lldb do this). But the result is the file_addr of
each line can not be found from the section list addresses. So at last
lines are not found, breakpoint not hit.

    I have added some code in notifyObjectLoaded function from
GDBRegistrationListener.cpp to store the middle ELF data. Sections and
debug_line details can be seen by the readelf linux command. Can you help
me to analyse the debug info in ELF, check whether there is anything wrong
in debug info, which causes breakpoints not to be hit.
the TestFunction.cpp and its ELF data is brought in attachment.

Thanks,
le wang
