How do I inspect local variables or use the watch window with Rust code using VSCode and LLDB?

QUESTION

How do I inspect local variables or use the watch window with Rust code using VSCode and LLDB?

Asked 2018-Sep-24 at 17:14

I am trying to debug a Rust application using VSCode, but I am unable to inspect any local variables or use the watch window (see attached).

All breakpoints work fine, I just cannot view any variables, etc.

VSCode v1.19.1
Linux Elementary (latest)
LLDB Debugger 0.7.3

The LLDB is what is shown in VSCODE plugin, but when I do lldb --version from the terminal it says: lldb version 3.8.0 ( revision ).

I get no errors when starting lldb from the terminal. All breakpoints are hit while debugging, I just cannot see any of the variable values.

For the sake of completeness, I verified python scripting support as a Prerequisite listed on: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vadimcn.vscode-lldb

python-lldb-3.8 is already the newest version

lldb doesn't "real" have support for Rust. It uses the C++ type system to support Rust types, and uses the C++ expression parser for expressions. So while simple things should work, more complex language features aren't well supported by "rust as C++".

It's possible to add language support for languages not directly supported by the clang front-end to lldb (see for instance the Go & OCaml support).

Tom Tromey is working on an actual Rust port for lldb, see: https://archive.fosdem.org/2018/schedule/event/rustdebug/ where he discusses this project, for instance. He hasn't submitted the results to mainline lldb yet, but his fork is available at https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/lldb/commits/rust if anybody interested in Rust debugging in lldb wants to lend a hand.
