[PATCH] D95339: [RFC][test] Adapt debug-info lit framework for more general purposes - part 1

[Adrian Prantl via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

aprantl added a comment.

> Perhaps Apple folks who implemented the original (@aprantl and @JDevlieghere I believe) can weigh in on their intended (& realized/actual) use cases for this functionality - though I agree that probably an explicit opt in to "I want to test with whatever binaries are in my PATH rather than just-built tools in this checkout" would be desirable here.

This is more incidental than intentional behavior. The debuginfo-tests originally tested that the "system" /usr/bin/gdb would could debug clang-generated code. At some point I generalized the testsuite to also support LLDB, and kept the use-the-system-debugger behavior. In a monorepo world it makes much more sense to make this behavior configurable, but I would appreciate an option to test against an LLDB that is installed somewhere in the system and not just the latest version from the monorepo, so we can test some basic level backwards compatibility.
