[lldb-dev] [RFC] OS Awareness in LLDB

[Leonard Mosescu via lldb-dev]

Hi Alexander, are you interested in user-mode, kernel-mode debugging or
both?

Fore reference, the current state of the art regarding OS-awareness
debugging is debugging tools for windows
<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/index>
(windbg
& co.). This is not surprising since the tools were developed alongside
Windows. Obviously they are specific to Windows, but it's good example of
how the OS-awareness might look like.
