<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Thank you for doing this, Raphael. I believe this shows that it's possible to keep lldb-mi alive, without today's maintenance burden on the LLDB community, a solution that seems to appease everyones concerns in this thread. I hope this sparks interest for somebody to step up as a maintainer. </div><div><br></div><div>I went ahead and created a diff to add the proposed deprecations to the LLVM release notes: <a href="https://reviews.llvm.org/D64254">https://reviews.llvm.org/D64254</a> </div><div>I'll put up another diff to remove the code, which we can land once LLVM 9 has branched. </div><div><br></div><div>Thank you,</div><div>Jonas</div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jul 4, 2019 at 12:24 PM Raphael “Teemperor” Isemann via lldb-dev <<a href="mailto:lldb-dev@lists.llvm.org">lldb-dev@lists.llvm.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word;line-break:after-white-space">I just went forward with this and made a quick test repo with an out-of-tree lldb-mi that compiles against the system LLDB: <a href="https://github.com/Teemperor/lldb-mi" target="_blank">https://github.com/Teemperor/lldb-mi</a> This seems to work fine with the exception of the python tests which require LLDB’s python code for testing which isn’t installed alongside LLDB. I guess we will have to see if we copy the related test code there or we just rewrite the test suite (which is anyway broken). On the upside, we can now just use Travis for CI as we don’t have to compile LLVM/Clang/LLDB, so that’s nice.<div><br></div><div>I’m in favor of deprecating lldb-mi with 9.0.0 and then we can give downstream time until 10.0.0 (or X.0.0 :) ) to package out-of-tree lldb-mi for users. Given how simple lldb-mi is, this seems like a reasonable timeframe.</div><div><div><br></div><div><div><div>- Raphael<br><div><br></div><div><br><div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Jul 4, 2019, at 9:51 AM, Davide Italiano via lldb-dev <<a href="mailto:lldb-dev@lists.llvm.org" target="_blank">lldb-dev@lists.llvm.org</a>> wrote:</div><br class="gmail-m_2925966542924910222Apple-interchange-newline"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jul 4, 2019 at 12:58 AM Zdenek Prikryl via lldb-dev <<a href="mailto:lldb-dev@lists.llvm.org" target="_blank">lldb-dev@lists.llvm.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
