<p>LLDB is in early development and supports basic debugging scenarios on
Mac OS X. The public API has not been finalized, and different parts are
at different levels of maturity. We welcome any help fleshing out missing
pieces and improving the code.</p>
<p>LLDB has matured a lot in the last year and can be used for
C, C++ and Objective C development for x86_64, i386 and ARM debugging.
The entire public API is exposed though a framework on Mac OS X which
is used by Xcode, the lldb command line tool, and can also be used by
python. The entire public API is exposed through script bridging which
allows LLDB to use an embedded python script interpreter, as well as
having a python module named "lldb" which can be used from python
on the command line. This allows debug sessions to be scripted. It also
allows powerful debugging actions to be created and attached to a variety
of debugging workflows.</p>
