<br></div><div>I'm working on improving our debugging story as described in the blog post that I posted last week (<a href="http://dylanfoundry.org/2014/06/25/integrating-with-lldb/" target="_blank">http://dylanfoundry.org/2014/06/25/integrating-with-lldb/</a>).</div>
<div><br></div><div>While some stuff is possible via Python scripts, other things require C++ code and being part of LLDB itself. As an example, I'd like to add support for:</div><div><br></div><div> breakpoint set -E dylan ....</div>
<div><br></div><div>This requires adding a language runtime plugin and a couple of minor bits of code.</div><div><br></div><div>At some point, I'd like to work on support for the dynamic type stuff as I think that's a better solution than some of what I've done in Python.
