macOS

|
-----
|
|
|
|
LLDB is the system debugger on macOS, iOS, tvOS, and watchOS and
|
|
can be used for C, C++, Objective-C and Swift development for x86_64,
|
|
i386, ARM, and AArch64 debugging. The entire public API is exposed
|
|
through a macOS framework which is used by Xcode and the `lldb`
|
|
command line tool. It can also be imported from 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.
|
|
|
|
Linux
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
LLDB is improving on Linux. While the debugserver has not been ported (to
|
|
enable remote debugging) Linux is nearing feature completeness with Darwin to
|
|
debug x86_64 programs, and is partially working with i386 programs. ARM
|
|
architectures on Linux are untested. For more details, see the Features by OS
|
|
section below.
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
LLDB on FreeBSD lags behind the Linux implementation but is improving rapidly.
|
|
For more details, see the Features by OS section below.
|
|
|
|
Windows
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
LLDB on Windows is still under development, but already useful for i386
|
|
programs (x86_64 untested) built with DWARF debug information, including
|
|
postmortem analysis of minidumps. For more details, see the Features by OS
|
|
section below.
