Hey gang,
I had someone ask about the possibility of CDT supporting lldb. Is anyone working, or thinking of working on it? I've got too many projects
on the go at the moment or I'd chip in and help.
The Mac toolchain is going through a pretty massive change with the gnu tools being dropped from Xcode and replaced by clang and lldb. A lot
of us have Macs and it would be good if we had support for their officially supported tools. And, yes, that would include Objective-C which
could be on my radar as I renew my admiration of ANTLR with their new version 4.
Over at lldb mailing list, there's a email saying work on MI wrapper for lldb is progressing, and that would allow DSF-GDB to work
with lldb pretty much automatically. See:
https://www.mail-archive.com/lldb-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx/msg03510.html
I personally find this most promising approach. DSF-GDB is pretty big, so any reimplementation would be really complicated. And
since GDB/MI is basically somewhat buggy JSON, it will be easy to extend it for any lldb functionality not presently covered.
