[lldb-dev] LLDB Machine Interface Frontend

[Deepak Panickal]

Thanks Jim, have just committed it. Yeah, it works with the GDB/MI 
interface.

There's no GPL code, it's all written from scratch.
Not all MI commands have been implemented yet, however it should be 
enough to set breakpoints, view locals.
We're working on adding more commands for viewing/modifying registers, 
memory etc.

It'll be great if more people from the community can use and test it 
with other GUIs!

Thanks,
Deepak

That is much easier than handing around patch files, and since there's no chance it will interfere with anybody working on parts of lldb that existed before the patch, can't do any harm.  I spoke to GregC and he agrees this is a reasonable course.
