[Lldb-commits] [PATCH] Reducing lldb Carbon footprint by replacing the only Carbon API call by Cocoa equivalent

[jingham at apple.com]

This code was pretty useful when we were first working on lldb and Xcode didn't support lldb.  But now that you can actually debug using lldb in Xcode, it is less clear that for Xcode as an external editor is all that useful.

Removing the Xcode support won't affect editors that support the BBEdit "open file at this line" Apple event, like BBEdit...  So I don't think it is a big loss.

I just hadn't gotten around to deleting it yet.  If you have it working, that is excellent!  But if it just opens the source file in Xcode, and doesn't hilight the source line - that's what the current code does - then Xcode still doesn't support the thing this code is trying to do and it is probably better to just delete the "if {using_xcode) " bit.
