[Lldb-commits] [Patch][Please Review] Add support for GNU indirect functions

[Kopec, Matt]

Hi all,

This patch allows indirect functions to work on Linux when evaluating expressions. I'm not sure if this is a feature supported on Mac OS X.

This is needed to support some library functions such as strcat and strlen when used in an expression. If one of these functions are used, the function will run once in the context of the inferior, which after completion, will return the address of the actual implementation of the function.

Some more details on indirect functions if interested: http://www.agner.org/optimize/blog/read.php?i=167

Thanks,
Matt
