| ======== |
| |
| LLDB supports a broad variety of basic debugging features such as reading DWARF, supporting step, next, finish, backtraces, etc. Some more interested bits are: |
| |
| * Plug-in architecture for portability and extensibility: |
| |
| * Object file parsers for executable file formats. Support currently includes Mach-O (32 and 64-bit) & ELF (32-bit). |
| * Object container parsers to extract object files contained within a file. Support currently includes universal Mach-O files & BSD Archives. |
| * Debug symbol file parsers to incrementally extract debug information from object files. Support currently includes DWARF & Mach-O symbol tables. |
| * Symbol vendor plug-ins collect data from a variety of different sources for an executable object. |
| * Disassembly plug-ins for each architecture. Support currently includes an LLVM disassembler for i386, x86-64 , ARM/Thumb, and PPC64le |
| * Debugger plug-ins implement the host and target specific functions required to debug. |
| |
| * SWIG-generated script bridging allows Python to access and control the public API of the debugger library. |
| * A remote protocol server, debugserver, implements macOS debugging on i386 and x86-64. |
| * A command line debugger - the lldb executable itself. |
| * A framework API to the library. |
