Bug ID: 52582
Summary: LLDB confuses multiple global variables with the same
name (even when they are in different namespace)
Product: lldb
Version: unspecified
Hardware: PC
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P
Component: All Bugs
Assignee: lldb-dev at lists.llvm.org
Reporter: vyng at google.com
CC: jdevlieghere at apple.com, llvm-bugs at lists.llvm.org
Background
Our binary has multiple global variables with the same basename but in
different namespaces. (Eg., lld::macho::symtab vs lld::elf::symtab,
lld::macho::in vs lld::elf::in, ...)
Repro:
Run the LLD linker under LLDB: (best to use MachO port to demonstrate this
bug):
lldb -- ld64.lld.darwninnew <... rest of args>
Set a breakpoint anywhere - but for best effect, here:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/2782cb8da0b3c180fa7c8627cb255a026f3d25a2/lld/MachO/Driver.cpp#L1141
(ie., right after `symtab` is set)
Try and print `symtab` or `in.got`:
```
(lldb) b Driver.cpp:1139
Breakpoint 1: 3 locations.
(lldb) run
Process 13244 launched:
'/Users/vyng/repo/llvm-project/build_lld/bin/ld64.lld.darwinnew' (x86_64)
Process 13244 stopped
* thread #1, queue = 'com.apple.main-thread', stop reason = breakpoint 1.2
frame #0: 0x0000000100a0856f
ld64.lld.darwinnew`lld::macho::link(argsArr=ArrayRef<const char *> @
0x00007ff7bfefeeb0, canExitEarly=true, stdoutOS=0x00000001093b83a8,
stderrOS=0x00000001093b8410) at Driver.cpp:1139:12
1136
1137 config = make<Configuration>();
1138 symtab = make<SymbolTable>();
-> 1139 target = createTargetInfo(args);
1140 depTracker =
1141
make<DependencyTracker>(args.getLastArgValue(OPT_dependency_info));
1142 if (errorCount())
Target 0: (ld64.lld.darwinnew) stopped.
(lldb) print symtab
(lld::elf::SymbolTable *) $0 = nullptr
(lldb) print in.got
(lld::elf::GotSection *) $1 = nullptr
(lldb) print lld::macho::in.got
```
Expected:
Since the code that the breakpoint stopped on referred to the variable as
simply `symtab`, I would have expected LLDB's print to allow me to also use
`symtab`.
What actually happened:
LLDB always picked the globals from lld::elf .
(presumably because it's alphabetically before ::macho)

(Tested this with GDB and it didn't have this issue)
