Debugging Android Chromium. Is there an alternative to debugging with lldb in the console?

[Sven Dysthe]

Hi,

I have a debug Android Chromium build successfully built, but I am facing one issue. I want to run Android Chromium from VSCode, attach and display the stack on breakpoint/segmentation. Similar to debugging desktop Chromium.

Right now, I have to use "out/debug/bin/chrome_public_apk lldb" as told in the instructions here: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/docs/android_debugging_instructions.md#debugging-c_c

However, after doing some digging, it looks like this isn't possible: https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40203975? It's hard to tell the current status.

Is there any alternatives to debugging that performs much like VSCode's Run and Debug stack viewer? I would love to be able to see declared variables, objects, etc. that are currently on the stack that lldb doesn't seem to show. I also prefer to not use a terminal and type "C" to step through the code.

Thank you.

This used to mostly work with gdb, but as per the bug our most recent attempts to get it to work with lldb haven't panned out, and the failure mode made it not clear how to make progress...

I don't know of an alternative.

Hopefully one day it will work.  Thank you for the information.
