That it is. Not sure if I added it, but blame shows Kate Stone from the great code convention checkin. Would be fine to fix it and update any call sites. Looks like it could be turned into:

  bool Process::LoadAddressHasAllPermissions(lldb::addr_t load_addr, uint32_t permissions);

The permissions is now an input parameter. The only other client is RegisterContextLLDB and all call sites do things like:

  process->GetLoadAddressPermissions(current_pc_addr, permissions) && (permissions & ePermissionsExecutable) == 0)

or

  if (process.GetLoadAddressPermissions(candidate, permissions) &&permissions & lldb::ePermissionsExecutable)

So it would be easy to fix. Please do!
