the module is loaded allowing you to add whatever commands you want into the
-current debugger. Note that this function will only be run when using the LLDB
-command command script import, it will not get run if anyone imports your
-module from another module. If you want to always run code when your module is
-loaded from LLDB or when loaded via an import statement in python code you can
-test the lldb.debugger object, since you imported the module at the top of the
-python ls.py module. This test must be in code that isn't contained inside of
-any function or class, just like the standard test for __main__ like all python
-modules usually do. Sample code would look like:
-
-::
-
- if __name__ == '__main__':
- # Create a new debugger instance in your module if your module
- # can be run from the command line. When we run a script from
- # the command line, we won't have any debugger object in
- # lldb.debugger, so we can just create it if it will be needed
- lldb.debugger = lldb.SBDebugger.Create()
- elif lldb.debugger:
- # Module is being run inside the LLDB interpreter
- lldb.debugger.HandleCommand('command script add -f ls.ls ls')
- print 'The "ls" python command has been installed and is ready for use.'
+current debugger.
----------------
I think it's okay to show the "if __name__ == '__main__': part of this example, but it should be:
```
if __name__ == '__main__':
# Create a new debugger instance in your module if your module
# can be run from the command line. When we run a script from
# the command line, we won't have any debugger object in
# lldb.debugger, so we can just create it if it will be needed
lldb.debugger = lldb.SBDebugger.Create()
# Now do whatever work this module would do when run as a command
# Now dispose of the debugger you just made.
lldb.SBDebugger.Destroy(debugger)
```That seems useful trick.

+ __name__)
+ # debugger.HandleCommand('command script add -f %s.heap heap' % package_name)
+ # debugger.HandleCommand('command script add -f %s.section_ptr_refs section_ptr_refs' % package_name)

Do you know what these commented-out lines are for?
