Bug ID: 46891
Summary: "import _lldb" doesn't work on Windows with Python
3.8+
Product: lldb
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Windows NT
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P
Component: All Bugs
Assignee: lldb-dev@lists.llvm.org
Reporter: tatyana.krasnu...@synopsys.com
CC: jdevliegh...@apple.com, llvm-b...@lists.llvm.org
This happens when liblldb.dll depends on non-system libraries (e.g.
libxml2.dll).
To reproduce this issue, build LLDB with LibXML2 and run `python_d -c "import
_lldb"`.
The error will be "ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _lldb: The
specified module could not be found". Neither PATH nor PYTHONPATH makes a
difference.
Since version 3.8, Python stopped searching dlls in directories specified by
PATH.
Now such paths should be specified by calling `add_dll_directory()`
(https://docs.python.org/3.8/whatsnew/3.8.html#bpo-36085-whatsnew).
Seems like the function call should be placed in bindings/python.swig right
before importing _lldb, however, I don't see a way to determine paths to
dependencies there.
