[lldb-dev] Adding a new architecture into LLDB

[Romaric Jodin via lldb-dev]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to add a new architecture into LLDB.
My architecture is a accelerator with its own ISA for which we have a LLVM
backend (release 7.1).

I have started by creating a new NativeProcessProtocol for my architecture.
So I have a lldb-server that run on a x86, but which takes care of process
of my architecture. I have forced it to use my NativeProcessProtocol.
I have a issue with this method because as the lldb-server is compile to
run on a x86, some part of the code think that it is managing x86 process.

Maybe I am going in the wrong direction to add such new architecture to
LLDB, I would be happy to try any other suggestions.

If you are interested, you can have a look at my branch
"dev/rjodin/lldb_dpu" in our forked repo of LLDB "
https://github.com/upmem/lldb". The branch is not clean, but it can help
you understand what I did.

Thanks,
