[lldb-dev] [Bug 20755] New: llgs: RSP qProcessInfo should return triple on Linux, not cputype/cpusubtype.

[Todd Fiala]

Hey Matthew,

Right now the code is setup to either generate the architecture based on
cputype/cpusubtype (which IIRC map directly to xnu/Mach values) and build
the ArchSpec from that + other details, OR to use the triple to generate
the ArchSpecs.  The cputype/cpusubtype are really geared toward the darwin
side of the house.

However, there is no reason why you couldn't use those fields aside from
the caveat above.  Care will just need to be taken to ensure the ArchSpec
based on parsing these works correctly, and (probably) some of the
Apple-specific setup paths may need to be guarded with OS checks if you
want different behavior than what darwin is doing.

Feel free to send up snippets of code you're considering.  I've had to
debug through quite a bit of code around these areas lately as I get llgs
running for local debugging.  (This bug needed to be resolved as part of
that effort).
