I'd be curious to know how difficult it would be to support a language-specific debugging format in lldb. Let's say I have a language that supports reflection, which means that the executable file contains a complete description of all data types and functions. Rather than write this information out twice (once as reflection metadata, and once as DWARD DIEs), I'd like to make it so that the debugger can interpret the reflection data directly, avoiding the need to use DWARF at all.<div>
