Description ryan@testtoast.com 2020-09-24 10:07:52 UTC
Description of problem:

I'm trying to debug a Swift program using sd-bus so have linked to libsystemd. However when I try to step into any systemd function (specifically sd_bus_emit_properties_changed_strv) in either GDB (9.2-7.fc33) or LLDB (lldb version 10.0.0) the debugger steps over the function.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
FC33, systemd 246.4-2.fc33

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install libsystemd debugsource/debuginfo
2. Try to step into a libsystemd library call


Actual results:
The debugger steps into the library function.

Expected results:
The debugger steps over the function.

The debuginfo packages you have don't match. I don't think systemd is doing anything special here.
Please install all debuginfo packages with versions that match and see if that helps.

Comment 2 ryan@testtoast.com 2020-09-24 20:19:04 UTC
Sorry, you are right, they weren't upgraded when I moved from FC32->33. Manually updating them allowed GCC to step into libsystemd. LLDB still refuses however this seems to be due to a lack of DWZ symbol support - using a version with this patch - https://reviews.llvm.org/D40474 - works fine. 

Sorry for the noise.
