Currently the DWARF provides two things for a mangled function in the accelerator tables:
1 - the function basename 2 - the full mangled name So for a C++ function like: a::b::c(int, float, char) The accelerator tables would contain "c", and "_ZN1a1b3fooEifc" that would point the the DWARF for this function. Now the user doesn't always type in the complete function name. They might type: (lldb) b b::c What we do in this case is chop the name up into "look for 'c'" and then "make sure any matches contain 'b::c'". So this is what currently happens. It is one place where we don't defer to the language plug-ins and allow each language plugin to chop up the string the user typed, so currently if your language doesn't use "::" as the separate for things that are in namespaces/modules/classes, then it might be doing the wrong thing. The Swift enabled LLDB on swift.org has some additional things where we chop up names a little differently since swift uses "." to separate things that are in namespaces/modules/classes (like "a.b.foo(Int, Float, Char)" and the mangling is different as well. For swift we would handle: (lldb) b b.c as "look for 'c'" and then "make sure any matches contain 'b.c'". Can you give some examples of your mangle named and how it would look when demangled? It might help me guide my response a little better. > On May 2, 2016, at 2:49 AM, E BOUTALEB via lldb-dev <lldb-dev@lists.llvm.org> > wrote: > > I am currently working on a language plugin for lldb. > I would like to be able to put a breakpoint on demangled function names, but > even after demangling function names through my custom DWARF parser, lldb > won't autocomplete on demangled names nor break on them. > > I though about modifiying the IndexPrivate method in > Plugins/SymbolFile/DWARF/DWARFCompileUnit.cpp, but it does not seem to be the > cleanest thing to do. > > Where would be the most appropriate place in the lldb source to incorporate > demangled function names so breakpoints on them become possible?
