<h1 class ="postheader">What is LLDB?</h1>
<div class="postcontent">
<p>LLDB is a next generation, high-performance debugger. It is built as a set
of reusable components which highly leverage existing libraries in the
larger LLVM Project, such as the Clang expression parser and LLVM
disassembler.</p>
<p>LLDB is in early development, but is mature enough to support basic
debugging scenarios on Mac OS X in C, Objective-C and C++.</p>
<p>All of the code in the LLDB project is available under the standard
<a href="http://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#license">LLVM
License</a>, an open source "BSD-style" license.</p>

<h1 class ="postheader">Why a new debugger?</h1>
<div class="postcontent">
<p>In order to achieve our goals we decided to start with a fresh architecture
that would support modern multi-threaded programs, handle debugging symbols
in an efficient manner, use compiler based code knowledge and have plug-in
support for functionality and extensions. Additionally we want the debugger
capabilities to be available to other analysis tools, be they scripts or
compiled programs, without requiring them to be GPL.</p>

<h1 class ="postheader">Platform Support</h1>
<div class="postcontent">
<p>LLDB is known to work on the following platforms, but ports to new
platforms are welcome:</p>
<ul>
<li>Mac OS X i386 and x86-64</li>
</ul>

<h1 class ="postheader">Get it and get involved!</h1>
<div class="postcontent">
<p>To check out the code, use:</p>
<ul>
<li>svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/lldb/trunk lldb</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that LLDB currently only builds out of the box on Mac OS X with
Xcode, but patches to improve portability are definitely welcome.</p>
<p>Discussions about LLDB should go to the <a href="http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/lldb-dev">lldb-dev</a> mailing
list. Commit messages for the lldb SVN module are automatically sent to the
<a href="http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/lldb-commits">lldb-commits</a>
mailing list, and this is also the preferred mailing list for patch
submissions.</p>
