This results + in namespace variables & functions, same named types and ivars shadowing + locals when it should be the other way around. An attempt was made to fix + this by manually inserting all the visible local variables into wrapper function + in the expression text. This mostly gets the job done but that method + means you have to realize all the types + and locations of all local variables for even the simplest of expressions, and + when run on large programs (e.g. lldb) it would cause unacceptable delays. And + it was very fragile since an error in realizing any of the locals would cause + all expressions run in that context to fail. We need to fix this by adjusting + the points where name lookup calls out to lldb in clang. + </p> + </li> + <li> Fix the event handling/process control machinery to support calling SB & Commands everywhere, and to support non-stop debugging <p> |
