[lldb-dev] Fwd: [Lldb-commits] [lldb] r216238 - Add missing HostInfo::Initialize() in llgs.

Tue Aug 26 15:04:45 PDT 2014

(In all seriousness, yes that would be good to do at some point -
effectively what I was saying earlier was having a core that is shared
between low level exes (lldb-gdbserver, lldb-platform, minimal as
possible).  We're looking into doing that possibly at some point.  It's a
little more than we want to take on in the short term, though.
