Sub-project Status Update
============================================
In addition to the core LLVM 3.3 distribution of production-quality compiler
infrastructure, the LLVM project includes sub-projects that use the LLVM core
and share the same distribution license. This section provides updates on
these sub-projects.
LLDB: Low Level Debugger
------------------------
`LLDB <http://lldb.llvm.org/>`_ is a ground-up implementation of a command-line
debugger, as well as a debugger API that can be used from scripts and other
applications. LLDB uses the following components of the LLVM core distribution
to support the latest language features and target support:
- the Clang parser for high-quality parsing of C, C++ and Objective C
- the LLVM disassembler
- the LLVM JIT compiler (MCJIT) for expression evaluation
The `3.3 release <http://llvm.org/apt/>`_ has the following notable changes.
Linux Features:
- Support for watchpoints
- vim integration for lldb commands and program status using a `vim plug-in <http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/lldb/trunk/utils/vim-lldb/README>`_
- Improved register support including vector registers
- Builds with cmake/ninja/auto-tools/clang 3.3/gcc 4.6
Linux Improvements:
- Debugging multi-threaded programs
- Debugging i386 programs
- Process list, attach and fork
- Expression evaluation
