I investigated bug 15302, which is described as: *"*LLDB does not print 'anonymous namespace' prefix for variable names (if inferior built with GCC on Linux)"
What I found was that the GCC dwarf data does not contain a mangled name for a variable defined in an anonymous namespace, unlike clang. LLDB VariableObject depends on the mangled name to identify the anonymous namespace for a variable, so in the test case it does no print the (anonymous namespace) prefix. I checked the dwarf data using dwarfdump and nm. In the case of dwarfdump the variable is a child of the anonymous namespace but there is no mangled name, but when I use nm to dump the symbols it displays the mangled name. I am not sure if this means nm is generating the name or getting the symbol from somewhere else. I am looking for suggestions on how to resolve this, should LLDB be inferring the namespace from the hierarchy somehow or should GCC be outputting the mangled symbol? Alex
