- <p>LLDB has matured a lot in the last year and can be used for

- The entire public API is exposed though a framework on Mac OS X which

- python. The entire public API is exposed through script bridging which
- allows LLDB to use an embedded python script interpreter, as well as
- having a python module named "lldb" which can be used from python
- on the command line. This allows debug sessions to be scripted. It also
- allows powerful debugging actions to be created and attached to a variety
- of debugging workflows.</p>
-
- <p>What works well:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Process control, including external process control via debugserver
- (which is included as part of the lldb project)</li>
- <li>Breakpoints: Source-line, symbolic, C++ mangled names, module
- scoping</li>
- <li>Symbol reading and object file introspection</li>
- <li>Script bridging</li>
- <li>Thread inspection and stepping</li>
- <li>Disassembly of i386, x86-64, & ARM/Thumb machine code</li>
- <li>Backtracing of i386, x86-64, & ARM/Thumb machine code</li>
- <li>libedit powers the command line prompt and input
- <li>Objective-C 2.0 Support: Printing properties, synthetic properties,
- Objective-C expressions, KVO, dynamic types, dot syntax, runtime data</li>
- <li>C++ support: method access, template support, dynamic types</li>
- <li>The public API to the library</li>

+ <div class="postcontent">
+ <p> LLDB is improving on Linux. While the debugserver is not ported
+ (to enable remote debugging) and there are some stability issues, most
+ of the basic functionality, including the Python API and the commandline tool,
+ are working on i386/x86_64 architectures. ARM architectures on Linux are untested.
+ For more details, see the Features by OS section below.

+ <p> The table below shows a summary of the features that are available
+ on several platforms. In addition to Linux and Mac OS X, LLDB is also
+ known to work on FreeBSD. Windows support is under development.
