[Lldb-commits] [PATCH] D21751: Implement GetMemoryRegions() for Linux and Mac OSX core files.

Since there’s a list of memory regions already created in the Process implementations for the core fles I thought it made sense just to use that directly, at least when reading from a core file. It meant there was no requirement to change those GetMemoryRegionInfo implementations if they didn’t behave quite the same. That said it is roughly what I planned to do for the live connections as the behaviour of the qMemoryRegionInfo query is more tightly specified and moving to that model would just push that implementation one layer higher.

I will push a revision which follows the approach you suggest, if we find that throws up it’s own problems then I can always revert. As I mentioned the remote connections should (hopefully) all work with that pattern so GetMemoryRegions implemented in fewer commits with that approach.

Is PAGEZERO actually included in Mac core dumps? I can see it as load command 0 when I run otool against an executable but when I look at a core dump from the same executable the first load command looks like load command 1 in the executable. There doesn’t seem to be a load command in the core for address 0. I might just be missing an flag on otool though.
