[lldb-dev] reply： lldb debug jit-compiled code with llvm on windows

[Tamas Berghammer via lldb-dev]

I don't know how JIT debugging should work on WIndows with MSVC but I don't
think LLDB support it in any way. What I wrote should be true on Linux (and
on some related) systems. You might be able to get the same results on
Windows if you use lli (LLVM based JIT runner) but I have no knowledge if
it will work or not.
