It is built as a set 55 of reusable components which highly leverage existing libraries in the 56 larger LLVM Project, such as the Clang expression parser and LLVM 57 disassembler.</p> 58 <p>LLDB is in early development, but is mature enough to support basic 59 debugging scenarios on Mac OS X in C, Objective-C and C++.</p> 60 61 <p>All of the code in the LLDB project is available under the standard 62 <a href="http://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#license">LLVM 63 License</a>, an open source "BSD-style" license.</p> 64 </div> 65 <div class="postfooter"></div> 66 </div> 67 68 <div class="post"> 69 <h1 class ="postheader">Why a new debugger?</h1> 70 <div class="postcontent"> 71 <p>In order to achieve our goals we decided to start with a fresh architecture 72 that would support modern multi-threaded programs, handle debugging symbols 73 in an efficient manner, use compiler based code knowledge and have plug-in 74 support for functionality and extensions. Additionally we want the debugger 75 capabilities to be available to other analysis tools, be they scripts or 76 compiled programs, without requiring them to be GPL.</p> 77 </div> 78 <div class="postfooter"></div> 79 </div> 80 81 <div class="post"> 82 <h1 class ="postheader">Platform Support</h1> 83 <div class="postcontent"> 84 85 <p>LLDB is known to work on the following platforms, but ports to new 86 platforms are welcome:</p> 87 <ul> 88 <li>Mac OS X i386 and x86-64</li> 89 </ul> 90 </div> 91 <div class="postfooter"></div> 92 </div> 93 94 95 <div class="post"> 96 <h1 class ="postheader">Get it and get involved!</h1> 97 <div class="postcontent"> 98 99 <p>To check out the code, use:</p> 100 101 <ul> 102 <li>svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/lldb/trunk lldb</li> 103 </ul> 104 105 <p>Note that LLDB currently only builds out of the box on Mac OS X with 106 Xcode, but patches to improve portability are definitely welcome.</p> 107 108 <p>Discussions about LLDB should go to the <a href="http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/lldb-dev">lldb-dev</a> mailing 109 list. Commit messages for the lldb SVN module are automatically sent to the 110 <a href="http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/lldb-commits">lldb-commits</a> 111 mailing list, and this is also the preferred mailing list for patch 112 submissions.</p> 113 </div> 114 <div class="postfooter"></div> 115 </div> 116 </div> 117 </div> 118</div> 119</body> 120</html>
