[lldb-dev] lldb GUI interface

[Greg Clayton]

The C++ API is definitely the way to go if you are going to integrate this into a plug-in.

I believe it works if you compile it with VS2012 or VS2013. 

It will be able to debug the remote targets, but native windows debugging isn't supported unless you are running things generated by clang, gcc or other open source compilers. Microsoft has a proprietary PDB format that contains the debug info that would be hard to support since there are no documents that describe it (none that I know of).

That would be great! Let us know how we can help you make this happen.
