I would prefer #3. You already have to assemble a bunch of pieces to start doing lldb development, I'd rather not add another.<br>
<br>
Also, I'd prefer to have this OFF for debug builds: getting reports of development lldb's crashing is not helpful for anything other than telling whether I (or you, or Greg...) are having a good day...<br>
<br>
If the "allow crash reporting" is a system or user-wide setting, then the best way to do this and NOT force all lldb developers to turn off crash-reporting for the lldb installed on their system is to have some defines that are not set in the debug build.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>What about a debugger setting like debugger.enable-crash-reporting which defaults to False in debug builds and true in release builds. Or just always defaults to False unless you build with a specific preprocessor define, but you can still turn it on in the application by changing the setting.</div><div><br></div><div>Plus this gives users a convenient means to opt out of it, which is usually desirable when it comes to things that collect data.</div></div></div>
