But you can write a LLDB plugin that calls your own interpreter-implementations of functions such as stepping/continue/settings breakpoints, etc. Quick google search shows this example of doing the same for the Ruby interpreter that hopefully illustrates what I mean: https://christoph.luppri.ch/articles/ruby/debugging-ruby-programs-on-osx-with-lldb/ <https://christoph.luppri.ch/articles/ruby/debugging-ruby-programs-on-osx-with-lldb/>

The LLVM works well and can generate wasm byte code file with DWARF debug sections like .debug_line. I can run the generated wasm file with my wasm virtual machine. However I find LLDB doesn't support debugging wasm file. Do we have plan to enable LLDB debugging wasm file? Thanks for any information.
