[lldb-dev] Python interface for loading core file

[Samuel Jacob]

I couldnt find a way to load core files from python. Is there a way?

The attached patch solves my problem. I tried it only on Linux and a
elf-core.

Thanks
Samuel

Here is the test program
$cat ./test.py
#!/usr/bin/env python

import lldb
import sys, os

exe = sys.argv[1]
core = sys.argv[2]

# Create a new debugger instance
debugger = lldb.SBDebugger.Create()

# Create a target from a file and arch
print "Creating a target for '%s'" % exe
target = debugger.CreateTarget(exe)
if target:
    process = target.LoadCore(core)
    if process:
        state = process.GetState ()
        thread = process.GetThreadAtIndex (0)
        if thread:
            for i in range(thread.GetNumFrames()):
                frame = thread.GetFrameAtIndex (i)
                if frame:
                    print frame

And output

$./test.py ./test/a.out ./test/core
Creating a target for './test/a.out'
