1*061da546SpatrickFeatures 2*061da546Spatrick======== 3*061da546Spatrick 4*061da546SpatrickLLDB supports a broad variety of basic debugging features such as reading DWARF, supporting step, next, finish, backtraces, etc. Some more interested bits are: 5*061da546Spatrick 6*061da546Spatrick* Plug-in architecture for portability and extensibility: 7*061da546Spatrick 8*061da546Spatrick * Object file parsers for executable file formats. Support currently includes Mach-O (32 and 64-bit) & ELF (32-bit). 9*061da546Spatrick * Object container parsers to extract object files contained within a file. Support currently includes universal Mach-O files & BSD Archives. 10*061da546Spatrick * Debug symbol file parsers to incrementally extract debug information from object files. Support currently includes DWARF & Mach-O symbol tables. 11*061da546Spatrick * Symbol vendor plug-ins collect data from a variety of different sources for an executable object. 12*061da546Spatrick * Disassembly plug-ins for each architecture. Support currently includes an LLVM disassembler for i386, x86-64 , ARM/Thumb, and PPC64le 13*061da546Spatrick * Debugger plug-ins implement the host and target specific functions required to debug. 14*061da546Spatrick 15*061da546Spatrick* SWIG-generated script bridging allows Python to access and control the public API of the debugger library. 16*061da546Spatrick* A remote protocol server, debugserver, implements macOS debugging on i386 and x86-64. 17*061da546Spatrick* A command line debugger - the lldb executable itself. 18*061da546Spatrick* A framework API to the library. 19
