[lldb-dev] .lldbinit and lldb-version-specific configuration

[Greg Clayton]

(lldb) script print lldb.SBDebugger.GetVersionString()

You should be able to use that in your script to do something like:


def __lldb_init_module (debugger, dict):
    version = lldb.SBDebugger.GetVersionString()
    if version contains '123':
        debugger.HandleCommand("do one thing")
    else
	debugger.HandleCommand("do another") 

Then you can save this somewhere and add a "command script import /path/to/initlldb.py" to your ~/.lldbinit file.

Right now, the default behavior is that lldb 3.5 and 3.6 are picking up the older 3.4 lldb python library and choking due to the mismatch.
