[llvm-dev] Debugging clang with debugger breakpoints ?

[Joan Lluch via llvm-dev]

Hi David,

Thank you for your help. Please, can you elaborate on this?. The command line that I get with -### starts with this:

clang version 9.0.1 (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git 6e38ee067b8fa08792f551fb565bbb8ada4864b1)
Target: msp430
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Users/joan/LLVM-9/llvm-project/build/Debug/bin
 "/Users/joan/LLVM-9/llvm-project/build/Debug/bin/clang" "-cc1" "-triple" "msp430" "-emit-llvm" "-disable-free" "-main-file-name" "main.c" "-mrelocation-model" "static" "-mthread-model" "posix" "-fmath-errno" "-masm-verbose" "-mconstructor-aliases" "-nostdsysteminc" "-dwarf-column-info" "-debugger-tuning=gdb" "-target-linker-version" "305" "-momit-leaf-frame-pointer" "-coverage-notes-file" "/Users/joan/Documents-Local/Relay/RelayNou/main.gcno" "-resource-dir" "/Users/joan/LLVM-9/llvm-project/build/Debug/lib/clang/9.0.1" "-internal-isystem" "/Users/joan/LLVM-9/llvm-project/build/Debug/bin/../msp430/include" "-Oz" "-fdebug-compilation-dir" "/Users/joan/Documents-Local/Relay/RelayNou" "-ferror-limit" "19" "-fmessage-length" "224" "-fobjc-runtime=gcc" "-fdiagnostics-show-option" "-fcolor-diagnostics" "-vectorize-slp" "-faddrsig" "-o" "main.ll" "-x" "c" "main.c"

So what should I set on the debugger?

Thanks

John

The debugger stops fine at breakpoints set on the main thread, but breakpoints do not work for any code that is executed as the child process. I am compiling with Xcode in case this makes a difference.
