[lldb-dev] What's the best way to use "--all-files" option from python?

[Jim Ingham via lldb-dev]

Yeah, that would be easy to implement from the command line, maybe add a --file-is-regex flag or something.  

>From the SB API it would be better to have something like:

SBFileList SBTarget.GetFileListMatchingRegex("regex")

Please file an enhancement request for these of hack'em in if you're so motivated.

That seemed to me less useful for a programming interface since the default file is history dependent (it's the file with "main" in it before you run, then it's where you last set a breakpoint, or where you last stopped, etc.)  If you needed this behavior it would be better to have the target vend the default file, though right now that's really only maintained by the breakpoint command...
