[Lldb-commits] LLDB Intel hardware breakpoints patch

[Reverser via lldb-commits]

Hi,

 

Jonas Devlieghere asked me to send my patch to this mailing list because of potential licensing issues.

 

It adds hardware breakpoints support for i386 and x86_64 architectures, something that has been missing for a long time. I have written a blogpost about it at https://reverse.put.as/2019/11/19/how-to-make-lldb-a-real-debugger/.

 

Patch available in attachment and also here https://github.com/gdbinit/llvmpatches.

 

You most probably want to tweak it out and adapt to your project style. If I'm not mistaken there is no count between hardware breakpoints and watchpoints since they share the same resources. I didn't bother taking care of that but it's something that should exist in production ready code.

 

I declared the patch code as public domain. If it makes your life easier I can change it to whatever license you need, just tell me.

 

Best,

Pedro
