EDIT: This has not been decided yet. I suspected, based on comments, that using the old NDK (10d) might be a problem, so I upgraded to 15c and looked at all the problems to collect my stuff using clang and the new C ++ library. Unfortunately, ndk-gdb is broken into 15c, and my attempts to hack python to make it work have not delivered me anywhere. Then I used the preview of Android Studio 3.0, and I went back to where I was before - I can see the stack information, but all the code is an assembly in lldb. Work must continue. I will return to using logcat for debugging :(
I come to you with a bruised forehead from numerous blows on the wall.
I will try to be brief and provide all relevant information at the same time. If there is any relevant information that I have not included, let me know.
Description:
I support the Android application as part of my work. I had to resort to logging in order to debug my own code, because although I can set breakpoints and hit them, I can’t see the source or variable information .
I spent many hours and googling, trying to figure out what I'm missing, but still no luck.
My OSX build assembly using Android NDK r10D and gradle 3.2 to create an APK.
I am trying to use AndroidStudio 3.0 beta 6 to install and debug an APK.
My Android.manifest includes a tag:
android:debuggable="true"

This is an example of compiling one of the native C ++ files with -v for verbosity:
