<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I'm finally getting some cycles to put on lldb-gdbserver for x86_64 linux.</div><div><br></div><div>I created a dummy looping exe (never exits), ran lldb_gdbserver against it in a terminal on my (local) x86_64 Ubuntu 12.04, turned on all logging, and attached from the (local) x86_64 Ubuntu 12.04 with top of tree as of yesterday. My only diffs at the moment are enabling lldb-gdbserver to build under linux and x86_64, and commenting out an assert that doesn't seem to make sense that always hits when starting up lldb-gdbserver.</div>
<div><br></div><div>See below for the communication transcript when attaching from the (local) lldb via the gdb-remote command. It pretty much defines my next several steps in terms of just getting lldb-gdbserver up and running on linux x86_64. I include this since I recall a few people were thinking of getting lldb-gdbserver up and running, and I didn't want to duplicate any applicable work that may have been implemented already in other branches.</div>
