I was curious if there is any planned support for LLDB in the future especially with the current support to build using clang. I am not sure how difficult this would be to add but considering clang+lldb are heavily used on mac it would be nice for iOS developers. My current use case is actually running VS through a VM and using that for C++ development while making sure that my plugins are built on the mac. Currently clang is the best C++ 11 compiler available and it is not quite there yet on windows as well.
Hi,
Based on our quick tests, clang produces executables that can be easily debugged with gdb. As lldb is not backward-compatible with gdb/mi and uses its own API, support it would be quite an investment. If you could give a good overview about the advantages it would have over using gdb for debugging llvm-compiled code, we could see if we could support it soon.
