[lldb-dev] LLDB on Windows

[Colin Riley]

Ugh. Autocomplete. Last paragraph I'm referring to a buildbot, not 'build it' :)

Implementing MI and upstreaming is something we (Codeplay) are working with as part of Hexagon remote lldb  implementation work, which I gave a talk about at last years Developers meeting. 

I'm not familiar with dbgp, but I think a MI plugin would be more valuable to the community as a whole.  It's widely adopted out of the box on many IDEs. Of course it doesn't stop us implementing more protocols in the future! 

We are developers of LLDB, currently keeping the Visual Studio13 build green and getting a build it up for it. The MI/Eclipse stuff will be put into review fairly soon I think. Internally we have various LLDB projects on the go.

Hey Lukas,

We will be up streaming a MI frontend to LLDB soon, which will allow LLDB to work on Eclipse and other IDEs.

This sound very interesting. 
Howver, I am curious, why did you choose to implement GDB's MI, why not implementing the DBGP protocol? (http://xdebug.org) which is much more clear and documented protocol. Also, IIRC most IDEs already have pluing for it (including Eclipse and NetBeans)


Also, is this an open source effort? or something you "do on the side"? ( I am not sure if you are an lldb developer or user ;) )

Additionally, we are actively looking at a Visual Studio lldb plugin, which we'll open up when it is stable enough!

On top of tree at the moment windows is limited.

We mainly use it for remote debugging and so focus our Windows efforts in that area. Native Windows debugging has been worked on in another branch by Virgile and we need to merge it in.

Hope that answers the questions!

Hello,

We use CLang for the development of our open-source numerical software
(www.hpfem.org/hermes, www.agros2d.org) are very satisfied with it on
Linux (Ubuntu / Debian). But we would like to also employ it on
Windows. Therefore we would like to ask about the support of LLDB
integration into Visual Studio (or other Windows IDE). I read that
this is a part of the plan, but I would like to ask roughly when it is
scheduled to become available?

Thank you very much,
Best Regards,
Lukas Korous
