I read up on this a bit more and it appears that this works on both UNIX and Linux, so I will definitely change that. I am not quite sure about Windows though, as I came across [[ https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=LLVM-LLDB-Debugger-For-Windows | this article ]]. Would changing this to "This option can be used on both UNIX and Linux" be adequate?
