Right, I saw this patch too. It tries to workaround the problem in LLDB, but seem to cause other issues. For example: ``` clang/lib/AST/ASTImporter.cpp:1933: Error clang::ASTNodeImporter::ImportDeclContext(DeclContext *, bool): Assertion `ToDC == ToD->getLexicalDeclContext() && ToDC->containsDecl(ToD)' failed. ``` > The more complete solution here is to make LLDB stop relying on this sort of > import-pattern.

Oh, I think a redesign with this problem in mind would be great. As I understand it, minimal import is used in LLDB for performance reasons, so we don't waste time parsing and loading AST elements that we don't need. It sounds like a fine idea in general. Implicit imports of external sources in Clang, however, turn import process into a minefield, where you have no idea if a "pure" operation can cause a major change the target AST. "Complete" types are really incomplete, and there is no single point at which they are all guaranteed to be finalized. Perhaps this approach was taken to minimize impact of external sources on the rest of Clang, to avoid introducing a concept of "not-fully-loaded-AST" everywhere. Understandable, but we have these issues now. I don't know if I see the whole picture here. I might be wrong on some of these points or reasons behind them. I'm curious what your plan is to address this problem. > I do wonder whether there's something about the build configuration that > makes you hit this crash more likely in UE.

Please let me know if you can get it. I reduced mine down to ~200KB of DWARF. It crashes on the same assertion in `RecordLayoutBuilder.cpp`, but this patch no longer helps. Perhaps there is another case of the issue, or the reduced DWARF is somehow invalid. https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/107828 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
