SBSymbolContext

class lldb.SBSymbolContext(*args)

A context object that provides access to core debugger entities.

Many debugger functions require a context when doing lookups. This class provides a common structure that can be used as the result of a query that can contain a single result.

For example,

exe = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'a.out')

# Create a target for the debugger.
target = self.dbg.CreateTarget(exe)

# Now create a breakpoint on main.c by name 'c'.
breakpoint = target.BreakpointCreateByName('c', 'a.out')

# Now launch the process, and do not stop at entry point.
process = target.LaunchSimple(None, None, os.getcwd())

# The inferior should stop on 'c'.
from lldbutil import get_stopped_thread
thread = get_stopped_thread(process, lldb.eStopReasonBreakpoint)
frame0 = thread.GetFrameAtIndex(0)

# Now get the SBSymbolContext from this frame.  We want everything. :-)
context = frame0.GetSymbolContext(lldb.eSymbolContextEverything)

# Get the module.
module = context.GetModule()
...

# And the compile unit associated with the frame.
compileUnit = context.GetCompileUnit()
...
