<div style="font-size: 13px; "><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; ">I've just recently started to convert our codebase to LLVM 3.0, and also gave a try to debugging with LLDB. And that's where I ran into a serious wall: lldb is unable to load the sym files for our main executable (not to mention
the numerous shared libraries it uses). I'm using LLDB-75 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 on a Core i7 MacBook Pro, have 8 GB memory, the sym format is DWARF-2.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; "><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; ">Well, it loads the sym files after 15 mins or so, but then setting a breakpoint also took 10 mins, and step one line during debugging is another 15 mins.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; "><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; ">At the end of the process Xcode used 35 GBs of virtual and 6.5 GBs of real memory (according to the Activity Monitor).</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; "><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; ">Is there anything I can do about it?</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; "><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; ">GDB handles this situation quite gracefully…</div>
