Having the following assembly source:
# hello_asm.s
# as hello_asm.s -o hello_asm.o
# ld hello_asm.o -e _main -o hello_asm
.section __DATA,__data
str:
.asciz "Hello world!\n"
.section __TEXT,__text
.globl _main
_main:
movl $0x2000004, %eax # preparing system call 4
movl $1, %edi # STDOUT file descriptor is 1
movq str@GOTPCREL(%rip), %rsi # The value to print
movq $100, %rdx # the size of the value to print
syscall
#
# EXITING
#
movl $0, %ebx
movl $0x2000001, %eax # exit 0
syscall
by compiling and linking with the following instructions:
as sum.s -g -o sum.o
ld -arch x86_64 -e main -L /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX10.15.sdk/usr/lib -lSystem sum.o -o sum
and by trying to debug it on LLDB, I get the following result:
❯❯❯❯ lldb sum.o ~/D/test
(lldb) target create "sum.o"
Current executable set to '/Users/mbertamini/Downloads/test/sum.o' (x86_64).
(lldb) list
(lldb) b 16
error: No selected frame to use to find the default file.
error: No file supplied and no default file available.
(lldb)
This is the dwarf:

what's the problem? How am I supposed to do?
The issue is that the source file for which the debugging info is mapped should be used (sum.s):
$ as sum.s -g -o sum.o
$ ld -arch x86_64 -e _main -macosx_version_min 10.13 -lSystem sum.o -o sum
$ lldb sum
(lldb) target create "sum"
Current executable set to 'sum' (x86_64).
(lldb) b sum.s:16
Breakpoint 1: where = sum`main + 26, address = 0x0000000100000fac
(lldb)
When assembling use the -O0
optimization along the -g
Code Generation Option.
(This is important only when compiling with clang; this doesn't apply with as
)
