File and Line Breakpoints Are Not Getting Hit
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
First you must make sure that your source files were compiled with debug
|
|
information. Typically this means passing -g to the compiler when compiling
|
|
your source file.
|
|
|
|
When setting breakpoints in implementation source files (.c, cpp, cxx, .m, .mm,
|
|
etc), LLDB by default will only search for compile units whose filename
|
|
matches. If your code does tricky things like using #include to include source
|
|
files:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
% cat foo.c
|
|
#include "bar.c"
|
|
#include "baz.c"
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
This will cause breakpoints in "bar.c" to be inlined into the compile unit for
|
|
"foo.c". If your code does this, or if your build system combines multiple
|
|
files in some way such that breakpoints from one implementation file will be
|
|
compiled into another implementation file, you will need to tell LLDB to always
|
|
search for inlined breakpoint locations by adding the following line to your
|
|
~/.lldbinit file:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
% echo "settings set target.inline-breakpoint-strategy always" >> ~/.lldbinit
|
|
|
|
This tells LLDB to always look in all compile units and search for breakpoint
|
|
locations by file and line even if the implementation file doesn't match.
|
|
Setting breakpoints in header files always searches all compile units because
|
|
inline functions are commonly defined in header files and often cause multiple
|
|
breakpoints to have source line information that matches many header file
|
|
paths.
|
|
|
|
If you set a file and line breakpoint using a full path to the source file,
|
|
like Xcode does when setting a breakpoint in its GUI on macOS when you click
|
|
in the gutter of the source view, this path must match the full paths in the
|
|
debug information. If the paths mismatch, possibly due to passing in a resolved
|
|
source file path that doesn't match an unresolved path in the debug
|
|
information, this can cause breakpoints to not be resolved. Try setting
|
|
breakpoints using the file basename only.
|
|
|
|
If you are using an IDE and you move your project in your file system and build
|
|
again, sometimes doing a clean then build will solve the issue.This will fix
|
|
the issue if some .o files didn't get rebuilt after the move as the .o files in
|
|
the build folder might still contain stale debug information with the old
|
|
source locations.
|
|
|

How Do I Check If I Have Debug Symbols?
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Checking if a module has any compile units (source files) is a good way to
|
|
check if there is debug information in a module:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
(lldb) file /tmp/a.out
|
|
(lldb) image list
|
|
[ 0] 71E5A649-8FEF-3887-9CED-D3EF8FC2FD6E 0x0000000100000000 /tmp/a.out
|
|
/tmp/a.out.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/a.out
|
|
[ 1] 6900F2BA-DB48-3B78-B668-58FC0CF6BCB8 0x00007fff5fc00000 /usr/lib/dyld
|
|
....
|
|
(lldb) script lldb.target.module['/tmp/a.out'].GetNumCompileUnits()
|
|
1
|
|
(lldb) script lldb.target.module['/usr/lib/dyld'].GetNumCompileUnits()
|
|
0
|
|
|
|
Above we can see that "/tmp/a.out" does have a compile unit, and
|
|
"/usr/lib/dyld" does not.
|
|
|
|
We can also list the full paths to all compile units for a module using python:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
(lldb) script
|
|
Python Interactive Interpreter. To exit, type 'quit()', 'exit()' or Ctrl-D.
|
|
>>> m = lldb.target.module['a.out']
|
|
>>> for i in range(m.GetNumCompileUnits()):
|
|
... cu = m.GetCompileUnitAtIndex(i).file.fullpath
|
|
/tmp/main.c
|
|
/tmp/foo.c
|
|
/tmp/bar.c
|
|
>>>
|
|
|
|
This can help to show the actual full path to the source files. Sometimes IDEs
|
|
will set breakpoints by full paths where the path doesn't match the full path
|
|
in the debug info and this can cause LLDB to not resolve breakpoints. You can
|
|
use the breakpoint list command with the --verbose option to see the full paths
|
|
for any source file and line breakpoints that the IDE set using:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
(lldb) breakpoint list --verbose
|
