|
<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>
|
|
|
|
<p>What works well:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Process control, including external process control via debugserver
|
|
(which is included as part of the lldb project)</li>
|
|
<li>Breakpoints: Source-line, symbolic, C++ mangled names, module
|
|
scoping</li>
|
|
<li>Symbol reading and object file introspection</li>
|
|
<li>Script bridging</li>
|
|
<li>Thread inspection and stepping</li>
|
|
<li>Disassembly of i386, x86-64, & ARM/Thumb machine code</li>
|
|
<li>Backtracing of i386, x86-64, & ARM/Thumb machine code</li>
|
|
<li>libedit powers the command line prompt and input
|
|
<li>Objective-C 2.0 Support: Printing properties, synthetic properties,
|
|
Objective-C expressions, KVO, dynamic types, dot syntax, runtime data</li>
|
|
<li>C++ support: method access, template support, dynamic types</li>
|
|
<li>The public API to the library</li>
|
|
<li>Expression evaluation</li>
|
|
<li>Objective-C support: stepping into/over, printing the description of
|
|
an object ("po")</li>
|
|
</ul>
