[LLVMdev] debugging llvm from clang using gdb

[Reid Kleckner]

Are you debugging the driver process or the -cc1 process?  To get the -cc1
process, unfortunately you have to go through the dance of passing -### to
get the -cc1 line and then run that in gdb (or write one manually).
 Alternatively in gdb you can say "set follow-fork child" (or something,
check the docs) to automatically follow into the -cc1 child.
