[lldb-dev] LLDB Scripting

[egon at ragequ.it]

I didn't really explain that particularly well - I figured I would have external python scripts that draw the UI for other windows using ncurses and connect to some comms channel opened by whatever is running within LLDB's python interpreter. These external scripts would be consumers of data pushed out by that internal script and render that data (disassembly around current EIP/RIP, stack data, etc). Really I should just implement a full new front end but I will never get around to it and just want a cheap way out.

I'd prefer to not have to implement a full new front end for LLDB as this is just intended to be complementary to the standard console interface to LLDB. I think I would need to be able to register handlers to be called on breakpoints (this looks quite easy from the documentation), but also handlers to be called after stepping over an instruction (to update the selected line in the disassembly, update register contents display, etc).
