conditional breakpoint broken with method breakpoint and method parameter condition when compiled without debugger info - even though debugger knows parameter value

breakpoint set on java.io.File. conditional breakpoint condition is,
pathname.contains("persistence.xml")

variables pane says Variable information not available, source compiled without -g option.

And variables pane shows pathname as opt/app/d3fnc1c1/jdk1.8.0_51/jre/lib/rt.jar",
and allows examining 'this'

The "pathname" in the conditional expression is a parameter of the method, right?
In this case, we'd have to retrieve the names of the method arguments from the source code.

why would you have to retrieve the name from source code? It is provided in the conditional expression. Also how does the debugger know the value since it shows it? It it can show it why can it not use it in a conditional expression ?
