Liming,

Sorry I missed this mail. Thanks for the info! I was doing some research into this too and now I think I finally understand. I think the name for the tool chain really confused me and we should think about changing the name. 

>From what I understand CLANG9 means produce PE/COFF directly and used the PDB debugging format. I see from the llvm site that the linker can produce PDB directly as you mention. This all makes sense to me now as LLVM tries to make it easy to be a drop in replacement for VC++ or GCC. So this tool chain is designed to be able to cross build a "Windows App" on a Linux or macOS. It also looks like the llvm debugger, lldb, is lagging in its support for PDB based debugging. 


Anyway I think Leif and I agree the toolchain name is very confusing. I'd rather see it called CLANG9_WIN or CLANG_PDB.

On Linux can you source level debug Ovmf?

For the EmulatorPkg the Host is a native App for that OS you build on, but it seems like CLANG9 is targeted to build Windows Apps. I'm not sure  but you might be able to override all the linker commands to build a native app, or just use the system linker for the Host?

I'm not sure how well debugging will work mixing PDB and DWARF symbol formats? 

Thanks,

Andrew Fish
