It seems that llvm-ld is stripping debugging symbols even with
optimizations disabled:
> cat main.c
int main()
{
int a = 42;
return a;
}
> clang -c -g -emit-llvm -o main.bc main.c
> llvm-ld -disable-opt -b=a.out.bc main.bc
> clang -g a.out.bc -o a.out
>gdb a.out
[...]
(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x40045b: file main.c, line 4.
(gdb) run
Starting program: a.out
Breakpoint 1, main () at main.c:4
4 int a = 42;
(gdb) print a
No symbol "a" in current context.
However, if I leave llvm-ld out of the picture, it works:
> clang -g main.bc -o a.out
> gdb a.out
(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x40045b: file main.c, line 4.
(gdb) run
Starting program: a.out
Breakpoint 1, main () at main.c:4
4 int a = 42;
(gdb) print a
$1 = 0
Am I missing something?
This is with LLVM/clang 2.8 on x86_64 Linux.
Thanks,
