|
| 23 | <p>LLDB is in early development and supports basic debugging scenarios on
|
| 24 | Mac OS X. The public API has not been finalized, and different parts are
|
| 25 | at different levels of maturity. We welcome any help fleshing out missing
|
| 26 | pieces and improving the code.</p>
|
| 27 |
|
| 28 | <p>What works well:</p>
|
| 29 | <ul>
|
| 30 | <li>Process control, including external process control via debugserver
|
| 31 | (which is included as part of the lldb project)</li>
|
| 32 | <li>Breakpoints: Source-line, symbolic, C++ mangled names, module
|
| 33 | scoping</li>
|
| 34 | <li>Symbol reading and object file introspection</li>
|
| 35 | <li>Script bridging</li>
|
| 36 | <li>Thread inspection and stepping</li>
|
| 37 | <li>Disassembly of i386, x86-64, & ARM/Thumb machine code, and
|
| 38 | backtracing on i386 & x86-64</li>
|
| 39 | <li>The basic command line prompt system, shared library tracking,
|
| 40 | source listings.</li>
|
| 41 | </ul>
|
| 42 |
|
| 43 | <p>What is still pretty new:</p>
|
| 44 | <ul>
|
| 45 | <li>The public API to the library</li>
|
| 46 | <li>Expression evaluation</li>
|
| 47 | <li>Objective-C support: stepping into/over, printing the description of
|
| 48 | an object ("po")</li>
|
| 49 | <li>Breakpoint actions & scripts</li>
|
| 50 | <li>Attaching to existing processes</li>
|
| 51 | </ul>
|
| 52 |
|
| 53 | <p>What isn't there yet:</p>
|
| 54 | <ul>
|
| 55 | <li>Regression test suite</li>
|
| 56 | <li>Operating system support hasn't been fully modularized yet</li>
|
| 57 | <li><a href="http://clang.llvm.org/docs/LanguageExtensions.html#blocks">Blocks</a> support</li>
|
| 58 | <li>Calling functions in expressions</li>
|
| 59 | <li>Objective-C 2.0 Support: Printing properties, synthetic properties,
|
| 60 | Objective-C expressions, KVO, dynamic types, dot syntax, runtime data</li>
|
| 61 | <li>C++ support: Method access, handling demangled names, dynamic types</li>
|
| 62 | <li>Exception support: Breaking by name, thrown object, thrower</li>
|
| 63 | </ul>
