[lldb-dev] No C++ language runtime plug-in?

[Kaylor, Andrew]

When I remove all the "#if defined (__APPLE__)" lines it compiles, but I get unresolved externals, so I guess there are a few other build files changes that would be required.

If I move just the ItaniumABILanguageRuntime lines outside the 'if defined' blocks, that compiles and links and fixes the problem with the dynamic values test case.

We had talked about maybe being able to reuse most of the ItaniumABI implementation for a cpp language runtime, but hadn't gotten as far as seeing that it would all just work.

I'm sure there's a very interesting back story as to why 'Itanium ABI' is the thing that gets used everywhere....

Thanks for the help!

This is an easy fix. In lldb.cpp the inclusion and init/terminate routines for the itanium plug-in are hidden in "#if defined (__APPLE__)" and it shouldn't be.

Andrew: please try and remove the "#if defined (__APPLE__)" from the following plug-ins so that all systems load them. Can you try and remove all instances of "#if defined (__APPLE__)" from lldb.cpp and see if this compiles?

They should all compile and be available on other systems so that you can remote debug to MacOSX. Let us know if there are any issues.

I see that there is an ItaniumABI plug-in for C++, but no language runtimes get used on my x86_64-based Linux system.  I'm guessing that on Mac OS's this is handled by the ObjectiveC V2 plugin, but that doesn't get used on Linux either.
