[lldb-dev] How LLDB plug-ins loaded on Windows?

[Zachary Turner via lldb-dev]

Plugin is a bit misleading. All “plugins” are compiled into lldb. Plugins
are really just a layering abstraction.

To answer your question, pdb works currently but is limited in
functionality. First, it only supports limited usage scenarios, and second
it requires Windows. It’s currently built on top of DIA. If you need PDB
support on non Windows it will be quite a bit of work (although there’s
people making gradual progress on it). If you need it on Windows it
basically works but you’ll have to fill in some missing pieces. Several
other people have been submitting patches in this area as well recently
