				The SB API Coding Rules
				=======================

				The SB APIs constitute the stable C++ API that lldb presents to external
				clients, and which get processed by SWIG to produce the Python bindings to
				lldb. As such it is important that they not suffer from the binary
				incompatibilities that C++ is so susceptible to. We've established a few rules
				to ensure that this happens.

				The classes in the SB API's are all called SB<SomeName>, where SomeName is in
				CamelCase starting with an upper case letter. The method names are all
				CamelCase with initial capital letter as well.

				All the SB API classes are non-virtual, single inheritance classes. They should
				only include SBDefines.h or other SB headers as needed. There should be no
				inlined method implementations in the header files, they should all be in the
				implementation files. And there should be no direct ivar access.

				You also need to choose the ivars for the class with care, since you can't add
				or remove ivars without breaking binary compatibility. In some cases, the SB
				class is a thin wrapper around an internal lldb_private object. In that case,
				the class can have a single ivar, which is either a pointer, shared_ptr or
				unique_ptr to the object in the lldb_private API. All the lldb_private classes
				that get used this way are declared as opaque classes in lldb_forward.h, which
				is included in SBDefines.h. So if you need an SB class to wrap an lldb_private
				class that isn't in lldb_forward.h, add it there rather than making a direct
				opaque declaration in the SB classes .h file.

				If the SB Class needs some state of its own, as well as the backing object,
				don't include that as a direct ivar in the SB Class. Instead, make an Impl
				class in the SB's .cpp file, and then make the SB object hold a shared or
				unique pointer to the Impl object. The theory behind this is that if you need
				more state in the SB object, those needs are likely to change over time, and
				this way the Impl class can pick up members without changing the size of the
				object. An example of this is the SBValue class. Please note that you should
				not put this Impl class in the lldb namespace. Failure to do so leads to
				leakage of weak-linked symbols in the SBAPI.

				In order to fit into the Python API's, we need to be able to default construct
				all the SB objects. Since the ivars of the classes are all pointers of one sort
				or other, this can easily be done, but it means all the methods must be
				prepared to handle their opaque implementation pointer being empty, and doing
				something reasonable. We also always have an "IsValid" method on all the SB
				classes to report whether the object is empty or not.

				Another piece of the SB API infrastructure is the Python (or other script
				interpreter) customization. SWIG allows you to add property access, iterators
				and documentation to classes, but to do that you have to use a Swig interface
				file in place of the .h file. Those files have a different format than a
				straight C++ header file. These files are called SB<ClassName>.i, and live in
				"scripts/interface". They are constructed by starting with the associated .h
				file, and adding documentation and the Python decorations, etc. We do this in a
				decidedly low-tech way, by maintaining the two files in parallel. That
				simplifies the build process, but it does mean that if you add a method to the
				C++ API's for an SB class, you have to copy the interface to the .i file.

				Testing LLDB
				============

				The LLDB test suite consists of Python scripts located under the test
				directory. Each script contains a number of test cases and is usually
				accompanied by a C (C++, ObjC, etc.) source file. Each test first compiles the
				source file and then uses LLDB to debug the resulting executable. The tests
				verify both the LLDB command line interface and the scripting API.

				.. contents::
				:local:

				Running the Full Test Suite
				---------------------------

				Windows Note: In the examples that follow, any invocations of python should
				be replaced with python_d, the debug interpreter, when running the test suite
				against a debug version of LLDB.

				The easiest way to run the LLDB test suite is to use the ``check-lldb`` build
				target. By default, the ``check-lldb`` target builds the test programs with the
				same compiler that was used to build LLDB. To build the tests with a different
				compiler, you can set the ``LLDB_TEST_C_COMPILER`` or the ``LLDB_TEST_CXX_COMPILER``
				CMake variables. These variables are ignored unless the respective
				``LLDB_TEST_USE_CUSTOM_C_COMPILER`` and ``LLDB_TEST_USE_CUSTOM_CXX_COMPILER`` are set
				to ``ON``.

				It is possible to customize the architecture of the test binaries and compiler
				used by appending ``-A`` and ``-C`` options respectively to the CMake variable
				``LLDB_TEST_USER_ARGS``. For example, to test LLDB against 32-bit binaries
				built with a custom version of clang, do:

				::

				> cmake -DLLDB_TEST_USER_ARGS="-A i386 -C /path/to/custom/clang" -G Ninja
				> ninja check-lldb

				Note that multiple ``-A`` and ``-C`` flags can be specified to
				``LLDB_TEST_USER_ARGS``.

				Note that on NetBSD you must export ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD/lib`` in your
				environment. This is due to lack of the ``$ORIGIN`` linker feature.

				Running a Specific Test or Set of Tests
				---------------------------------------

				In addition to running all the LLDB test suites with the "check-lldb" CMake target above, it is possible to run individual LLDB tests. For example, to run the test cases defined in TestInferiorCrashing.py, run:

				::

				> cd $lldb/test
				> python dotest.py --executable <path-to-lldb> -p TestInferiorCrashing.py ../packages/Python/lldbsuite/test

				If the test is not specified by name (e.g. if you leave the -p argument off), LLDB will run all tests in that directory:

				::

				> python dotest.py --executable <path-to-lldb> functionalities/data-formatter

				Many more options that are available. To see a list of all of them, run:

				::

				> python dotest.py -h

				The ``dotest.py`` script runs tests in parallel by default. To disable the parallel
				test running feature, use the ``--no-multiprocess`` flag. The number of concurrent
				tests is controlled by the ``LLDB_TEST_THREADS`` environment variable or the
				``--threads command`` line parameter. The default value is the number of CPU cores
				on your system.

				The parallel test running feature will handle an additional ``--test-subdir
				SUBDIR`` arg. When specified, ``SUBDIR`` is relative to the root test directory
				and will limit all parallel test running to that subdirectory's tree of tests.

				The parallel test runner will run all tests within a given directory serially,
				but will run multiple directories concurrently. Thus, as a test writer, we
				provide serialized test run semantics within a directory. Note child
				directories are considered entirely separate, so two child directories could be
				running in parallel with a parent directory.

				Running the Test Suite Remotely
				-------------------------------

				Running the test-suite remotely is similar to the process of running a local
				test suite, but there are two things to have in mind:

				1. You must have the lldb-server running on the remote system, ready to accept
				multiple connections. For more information on how to setup remote debugging
				see the Remote debugging page.
				2. You must tell the test-suite how to connect to the remote system. This is
				achieved using the ``--platform-name``, ``--platform-url`` and
				``--platform-working-dir`` parameters to ``dotest.py``. These parameters
				correspond to the platform select and platform connect LLDB commands. You
				will usually also need to specify the compiler and architecture for the
				remote system.

				Currently, running the remote test suite is supported only with ``dotest.py`` (or
				dosep.py with a single thread), but we expect this issue to be addressed in the
				near future.

				Debugging Test Failures
				-----------------------

				On non-Windows platforms, you can use the ``-d`` option to ``dotest.py`` which
				will cause the script to wait for a while until a debugger is attached.

				Debugging Test Failures on Windows
				----------------------------------

				On Windows, it is strongly recommended to use Python Tools for Visual Studio
				for debugging test failures. It can seamlessly step between native and managed
				code, which is very helpful when you need to step through the test itself, and
				then into the LLDB code that backs the operations the test is performing.

				A quick guide to getting started with PTVS is as follows:

				#. Install PTVS
				#. Create a Visual Studio Project for the Python code.
				#. Go to File -> New -> Project -> Python -> From Existing Python Code.
				#. Choose llvm/tools/lldb as the directory containing the Python code.
				#. When asked where to save the .pyproj file, choose the folder ``llvm/tools/lldb/pyproj``. This is a special folder that is ignored by the ``.gitignore`` file, since it is not checked in.
				#. Set test/dotest.py as the startup file
				#. Make sure there is a Python Environment installed for your distribution. For example, if you installed Python to ``C:\Python35``, PTVS needs to know that this is the interpreter you want to use for running the test suite.
				#. Go to Tools -> Options -> Python Tools -> Environment Options
				#. Click Add Environment, and enter Python 3.5 Debug for the name. Fill out the values correctly.
				#. Configure the project to use this debug interpreter.
				#. Right click the Project node in Solution Explorer.
				#. In the General tab, Make sure Python 3.5 Debug is the selected Interpreter.
				#. In Debug/Search Paths, enter the path to your ninja/lib/site-packages directory.
				#. In Debug/Environment Variables, enter ``VCINSTALLDIR=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\``.
				#. If you want to enabled mixed mode debugging, check Enable native code debugging (this slows down debugging, so enable it only on an as-needed basis.)
				#. Set the command line for the test suite to run.
				#. Right click the project in solution explorer and choose the Debug tab.
				#. Enter the arguments to dotest.py. Note you must add --no-multiprocess
				#. Example command options:

				::

				# quiet mode
				-q
				--arch=i686
				# Path to debug lldb.exe
				--executable D:/src/llvmbuild/ninja/bin/lldb.exe
				# Directory to store log files
				-s D:/src/llvmbuild/ninja/lldb-test-traces
				-u CXXFLAGS -u CFLAGS
				# If a test crashes, show JIT debugging dialog.
				--enable-crash-dialog
				# Path to release clang.exe
				-C d:\src\llvmbuild\ninja_release\bin\clang.exe
				# Path to the particular test you want to debug.
				-p TestPaths.py
				# Root of test tree
				D:\src\llvm\tools\lldb\packages\Python\lldbsuite\test
				# Required in order to be able to debug the test.
				--no-multiprocess

				::

				-q --arch=i686 --executable D:/src/llvmbuild/ninja/bin/lldb.exe -s D:/src/llvmbuild/ninja/lldb-test-traces -u CXXFLAGS -u CFLAGS --enable-crash-dialog -C d:\src\llvmbuild\ninja_release\bin\clang.exe -p TestPaths.py D:\src\llvm\tools\lldb\packages\Python\lldbsuite\test --no-multiprocess

				About
				=====

				LLDB is a next generation, high-performance debugger. It is built as a set of
				reusable components which highly leverage existing libraries in the larger LLVM
				Project, such as the Clang expression parser and LLVM disassembler.

				LLDB is the default debugger in Xcode on Mac OS X and supports debugging C,
				Objective-C and C++ on the desktop and iOS devices and simulator.

				All of the code in the LLDB project is available under the standard `LLVM
				License <http://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#license>`__, an open source
				"BSD-style" license.

				Why a New Debugger?
				-------------------

				In order to achieve our goals we decided to start with a fresh architecture
				that would support modern multi-threaded programs, handle debugging symbols in
				an efficient manner, use compiler based code knowledge and have plug-in support
				for functionality and extensions. Additionally we want the debugger
				capabilities to be available to other analysis tools, be they scripts or
				compiled programs, without requiring them to be GPL.

				Compiler Integration Benefits
				-----------------------------

				LLDB currently converts debug information into clang types so that it can
				leverage the clang compiler infrastructure. This allows LLDB to support the
				latest C, C++, Objective-C and Objective-C++ language features and runtimes in
				expressions without having to reimplement any of this functionality. It also
				leverages the compiler to take care of all ABI details when making functions
				calls for expressions, when disassembling instructions and extracting
				instruction details, and much more.

				The major benefits include:

				- Up to date language support for C, C++, Objective-C
				- Multi-line expressions that can declare local variables and types
				- Utilize the JIT for expressions when supported
				- Evaluate expression Intermediate Representation (IR) when JIT can't be used

				Reusability
				-----------

				The LLDB debugger APIs are exposed as a C++ object oriented interface in a
				shared library. The lldb command line tool links to, and uses this public API.
				On Mac OS X the shared library is exposed as a framework named LLDB.framework,
				and unix systems expose it as lldb.so. The entire API is also then exposed
				through Python script bindings which allow the API to be used within the LLDB
				embedded script interpreter, and also in any python script that loads the
				lldb.py module in standard python script files. See the Python Reference page
				for more details on how and where Python can be used with the LLDB API.

				Sharing the LLDB API allows LLDB to not only be used for debugging, but also
				for symbolication, disassembly, object and symbol file introspection, and much
				more.

				Platform Support
				----------------

				LLDB is known to work on the following platforms, but ports to new platforms
				are welcome:

				* Mac OS X desktop user space debugging for i386 and x86-64
				* iOS simulator debugging on i386
				* iOS device debugging on ARM
				* Linux local user-space debugging for i386, x86-64 and PPC64le
				* FreeBSD local user-space debugging for i386 and x86-64
				* Windows local user-space debugging for i386 (*)

				(*) Support for Windows is under active development. Basic functionality is
				expected to work, with functionality improving rapidly.

				Get Involved
				------------

				To check out the code, use:

				svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/lldb/trunk lldb

				Note that LLDB generally builds from top-of-trunk

				* On macOS with Xcode
				* On Linux and FreeBSD (with clang and libstdc++/libc++)
				* On NetBSD (with GCC and clang and libstdc++/libc++)
				* On Windows with VS 2012 or higher using CMake

				See the LLDB Build Page for platform-specific build instructions.

				Discussions about LLDB should go to the `lldb-dev
				<http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/lldb-dev>`__ mailing list. Commit
				messages for the lldb SVN module are automatically sent to the `lldb-commits
				<http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/lldb-commits>`__ mailing list , and
				this is also the preferred mailing list for patch submissions.

				See the Projects page if you are looking for some interesting areas to
				contribute to lldb.

				Features
				========

				LLDB supports a broad variety of basic debugging features such as reading DWARF, supporting step, next, finish, backtraces, etc. Some more interested bits are:

				* Plug-in architecture for portability and extensibility:

				* Object file parsers for executable file formats. Support currently includes Mach-O (32 and 64-bit) & ELF (32-bit).
				* Object container parsers to extract object files contained within a file. Support currently includes universal Mach-O files & BSD Archives.
				* Debug symbol file parsers to incrementally extract debug information from object files. Support currently includes DWARF & Mach-O symbol tables.
				* Symbol vendor plug-ins collect data from a variety of different sources for an executable object.
				* Disassembly plug-ins for each architecture. Support currently includes an LLVM disassembler for i386, x86-64 , ARM/Thumb, and PPC64le
				* Debugger plug-ins implement the host and target specific functions required to debug.

				* SWIG-generated script bridging allows Python to access and control the public API of the debugger library.
				* A remote protocol server, debugserver, implements Mac OS X debugging on i386 and x86-64.
				* A command line debugger - the lldb executable itself.
				* A framework API to the library.

				Goals
				=====

				The current state of the art in open source debuggers are that they work in the
				common cases for C applications, but don't handle many "hard cases" properly.
				For example, C++ expression parsing, handling overloading, templates,
				multi-threading, and other non-trivial scenarios all work in some base cases,
				but don't work reliably.

				The goal of LLDB is to provide an amazing debugging experience that "just
				works". We aim to solve these long-standing problems where debuggers get
				confused, so that you can think about debugging your problem, not about
				deficiencies in the debugger.

				With a long view, there is no good reason for a debugger to reinvent its own
				C/C++ parser, type system, know all the target calling convention details,
				implement its own disassembler, etc. By using the existing libraries vended by
				the LLVM project, we believe that many of these problems will be defined away,
				and the debugger can focus on important issues like process control, efficient
				symbol reading and indexing, thread management, and other debugger-specific
				problems.

				Some more specific goals include:

				* Build libraries for inclusion in IDEs, command line tools, and other analysis
				tools
				* High performance and efficient memory use
				* Extensible: Python scriptable and use a plug-in architecture
				* Reuse existing compiler technology where it makes sense
				* Excellent multi-threaded debugging support
				* Great support for C, Objective-C and C++
				* Retargetable to support multiple platforms
				* Provide a base for debugger research and other innovation

				Speed up type realization in lldb
				---------------------------------

				The type of problem I'm addressing here is the situation where you are
				debugging a large program (lldb built with debug clang/swift will do) and you
				go to print a simple expression, and lldb goes away for 30 seconds. When you
				sample it, it is always busily churning through all the CU's in the world
				looking for something. The problem isn't that looking for something in
				particular is slow, but rather that we somehow turned an bounded search (maybe
				a subtype of "std::string" into an unbounded search (all things with the name
				of that subtype.) Or didn't stop when we got a reasonable answer proximate to
				the context of the search, but let the search leak out globally. And quite
				likely there are other issues that I haven't guessed yet. But if you end up
				churning though 3 or 4 Gig of debug info, that's going to be slow no matter how
				well written your debug reader is...

				My guess is the work will be more in the general symbol lookup than in the
				DWARF parser in particular, but it may be a combination of both.

				As a user debugging a largish program, this is the most obvious lameness of
				lldb.

				Symbol name completion in the expression parser
				-----------------------------------------------

				This is the other obvious lameness of lldb. You can do:

				::

				(lldb) frame var foo.b

				and we will tell you it is "foo.bar". But you can't do that in the expression
				parser. This will require collaboration with the clang/swift folks to get the
				right extension points in the compiler. And whatever they are, lldb will need
				use them to tell the compiler about what names are available. It will be
				important to avoid the pitfalls of #1 where we wander into the entire DWARF
				world.

				Make a high speed asynchronous communication channel
				----------------------------------------------------

				All lldb debugging nowadays is done by talking to a debug agent. We used the
				gdb-remote protocol because that is universal, and good enough, and you have to
				support it anyway since so many little devices & JTAG's and VM's etc support
				it. But it is really old, not terribly high performance, and can't really
				handle sending or receiving messages while the process is supposedly running.
				It should have compression built in, remove the hand-built checksums and rely
				on the robust communication protocols we always have nowadays, allow for
				out-of-order requests/replies, allow for reconnecting to a temporarily
				disconnected debug session, regularize all of the packet formatting into JSON
				or BSON or whatever while including a way to do large binary transfers. It must
				be possible to come up with something faster, and better tunable for the many
				communications pathways we end up supporting.

				Fix local variable lookup in the lldb expression parser
				-------------------------------------------------------

				The injection of local variables into the clang expression parser is
				currently done incorrectly - it happens too late in the lookup. This results
				in namespace variables & functions, same named types and ivars shadowing
				locals when it should be the other way around. An attempt was made to fix
				this by manually inserting all the visible local variables into wrapper
				function in the expression text. This mostly gets the job done but that
				method means you have to realize all the types and locations of all local
				variables for even the simplest of expressions, and when run on large
				programs (e.g. lldb) it would cause unacceptable delays. And it was very
				fragile since an error in realizing any of the locals would cause all
				expressions run in that context to fail. We need to fix this by adjusting
				the points where name lookup calls out to lldb in clang.

				Support calling SB & commands everywhere and support non-stop debugging
				-----------------------------------------------------------------------

				There is a fairly ad-hoc system to handle when it is safe to run SB API's and
				command line commands. This is actually a bit of a tricky problem, since we
				allow access to the command line and SB API from some funky places in lldb. The
				Operating System plugins are the most obvious instance, since they get run
				right after lldb is told by debugserver that the process has stopped, but
				before it has finished collating the information from the stop for presentation
				to the higher levels. But breakpoint callbacks have some of the same problems,
				and other things like the scripted stepping operations and any fancier
				extension points we want to add to the debugger are going to be hard to
				implement robustly till we work on a finer-grained and more explicit control
				over who gets to control the process state.

				We also won't have any chance of supporting non-stop debugging - which is a
				useful mode for programs that have a lot of high-priority or real-time worker
				threads - until we get this sorted out.

				Finish the language abstraction and remove all the unnecessary API's
				--------------------------------------------------------------------

				An important part of making lldb a more useful "debugger toolkit" as opposed to
				a C/C++/ObjC/Swift debugger is to have a clean abstraction for language
				support. We did most, but not all, of the physical separation. We need to
				finish that. And then by force of necessity the API's really look like the
				interface to a C++ type system with a few swift bits added on. How you would
				go about adding a new language is unclear and much more trouble than it is
				worth at present. But if we made this nice, we could add a lot of value to
				other language projects.

				Add some syntax to generate data formatters from type definitions
				-----------------------------------------------------------------

				Uses of the data formatters fall into two types. There are data formatters for
				types where the structure elements pretty much tell you how to present the
				data, you just need a little expression language to express how to turn them
				into what the user expects to see. Then there are the ones (like pretty much
				all our Foundation/AppKit/UIKit formatters) that use deep magic to figure out
				how the type is actually laid out. The latter are pretty much always going to
				have to be done by hand.

				But for the ones where the information is expressed in the fields, it would be
				great to have a way to express the instructions to produce summaries and
				children in some form you could embed next to the types and have the compiler
				produce a byte code form of the instructions and then make that available to
				lldb along with the library. This isn't as simple as having clang run over the
				headers and produce something from the types directly. After all, clang has no
				way of knowing that the interesting thing about a std::vector is the elements
				that you get by calling size (for the summary) and [] for the elements. But it
				shouldn't be hard to come up with a generic markup to express this.

				Allow the expression parser to access dynamic type/data formatter information
				-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

				This seems like a smaller one. The symptom is your object is Foo child of
				Bar, and in the Locals view you see all the fields of Foo, but because the
				static type of the object is Bar, you can't see any of the fields of Foo.
				But if you could get this working, you could hijack the mechanism to make
				the results of the value object summaries/synthetic children available to
				expressions. And if you can do that, you could add other properties to an
				object externally (through Python or some other extension point) and then
				have these also available in the expression parser. You could use this to
				express invariants for data structures, or other more advanced uses of types
				in the debugger.

				Another version of this is to allow access to synthetic children in the
				expression parser. Otherwise you end up in situations like:

				::

				(lldb) print return_a_foo()
				(SomeVectorLikeType) $1 = {
				[0] = 0
				[1] = 1
				[2] = 2
				[3] = 3
				[4] = 4
				}

				That's good but:

				::

				(lldb) print return_a_foo()[2]

				fails because the expression parser doesn't know anything about the
				array-like nature of SomeVectorLikeType that it gets from the synthetic
				children.

				Recover thread information lazily
				---------------------------------

				LLDB stores all the user intentions for a thread in the ThreadPlans stored in
				the Thread class. That allows us to reliably implement a very natural model for
				users moving through a debug session. For example, if step-over stops at a
				breakpoint in an function in a younger region of the stack, continue will
				complete the step-over rather than having to manually step out. But that means
				that it is important that the Thread objects live as long as the Threads they
				represent. For programs with many threads, but only one that you are debugging,
				that makes stepping less efficient, since now you have to fetch the thread list
				on every step or stepping doesn't work correctly. This is especially an issue
				when the threads are provided by an Operating System plugin, where it may take
				non-trivial work to reconstruct the thread list. It would be better to fetch
				threads lazily but keep "unseen" threads in a holding area, and only retire
				them when we know we've fetched the whole thread list and ensured they are no
				longer alive.

				Add an extension point in the breakpoint search machinery
				---------------------------------------------------------

				This would allow highly customizable, algorithmic breakpoint types, like "break
				on every use of some particular instruction, or instruction pattern, etc."

				Make Python-backed commands first class citizens
				------------------------------------------------

				As it stands, Python commands have no way to advertise their options. They are
				required to parse their arguments by hand. That leads to inconsistency, and
				more importantly means they can't take advantage of auto-generated help and
				command completion. This leaves python-backed commands feeling worse than
				built-in ones.

				As part of this job, it would also be great to hook automatically hook the
				"type" of an option value or argument (e.g. eArgTypeShlibName) to sensible
				default completers. You need to be able to over-ride this in more complicated
				scenarios (like in "break set" where the presence of a "-s" option limits the
				search for completion of a "-n" option.) But in common cases it is unnecessary
				busy-work to have to supply the completer AND the type. If this worked, then it
				would be easier for Python commands to also get correct completers.

				Reimplement the command interpreter commands using the SB API
				-------------------------------------------------------------

				Currently, all the CommandObject::DoExecute methods are implemented using the
				lldb_private API's. That generally means that there's code that gets duplicated
				between the CommandObject and the SB API that does roughly the same thing. We
				would reduce this code duplication, present a single coherent face to the users
				of lldb, and keep ourselves more honest about what we need in the SB API's if
				we implemented the CommandObjects::DoExecute methods using the SB API's.

				BTW, it is only the way it was much easier to develop lldb if it had a
				functioning command-line early on. So we did that first, and developed the SB
				API's when lldb was more mature. There's no good technical reason to have the
				commands use the lldb_private API's.

				Documentation and better examples
				---------------------------------

				We need to put the lldb syntax docs in the tutorial somewhere that is more
				easily accessible. On suggestion is to add non-command based help to the help
				system, and then have a "help lldb" or "help syntax" type command with this
				info. Be nice if the non-command based help could be hierarchical so you could
				make topics.

				There's a fair bit of docs about the SB API's, but it is spotty. Some classes
				are well documented in the Python "help (lldb.SBWhatever)" and some are not.

				We need more conceptual docs. And we need more examples. And we could provide a
				clean pluggable example for using LLDB standalone from Python. The
				process_events.py is a start of this, but it just handles process events, and
				it is really a quick sketch not a polished expandable proto-tool.

				Make a more accessible plugin architecture for lldb
				---------------------------------------------------

				Right now, you can only use the Python or SB API's to extend an extant lldb.
				You can't implement any of the actual lldb Plugins as plugins. That means
				anybody that wants to add new Object file/Process/Language etc support has to
				build and distribute their own lldb. This is tricky because the API's the
				plugins use are currently not stable (and recently have been changing quite a
				lot.) We would have to define a subset of lldb_private that you could use, and
				some way of telling whether the plugins were compatible with the lldb. But
				long-term, making this sort of extension possible will make lldb more appealing
				for research and 3rd party uses.

				Use instruction emulation to reduce the overhead for breakpoints
				----------------------------------------------------------------

				At present, breakpoints are implemented by inserting a trap instruction, then
				when the trap is hit, replace the trap with the actual instruction and single
				step. Then swap back and continue. This causes problems for read only text, and
				also means that no-stop debugging ust either stop all threads briefly to handle
				this two-step or risk missing some breakpoint hits. If you emulated the
				instruction and wrote back the results, you wouldn't have these problems, and
				it would also save a stop per breakpoint hit. Since we use breakpoints to
				implement stepping, this savings could be significant on slow connections.

				Use the JIT to speed up conditional breakpoint evaluation
				---------------------------------------------------------

				We already JIT and cache the conditional expressions for breakpoints for the C
				family of languages, so we aren't re-compiling every time you hit the
				breakpoint. And if we couldn't IR interpret the expression, we leave the JIT'ed
				code in place for reuse. But it would be even better if we could also insert
				the "stop or not" decision into the code at the breakpoint, so you would only
				actually stop the process when the condition was true. Greg's idea was that if
				you had a conditional breakpoint set when you started the debug session, Xcode
				could rebuild and insert enough no-ops that we could instrument the breakpoint
				site and call the conditional expression, and only trap if the conditional was
				true.

				Broaden the idea in "target stop-hook" to cover more events in the debugger
				---------------------------------------------------------------------------

				Shared library loads, command execution, User directed memory/register reads
				and writes are all places where you would reasonably want to hook into the
				debugger.

				Mock classes for testing
				------------------------

				We need "ProcessMock" and "ObjectFileMock" and the like. These would be real
				plugin implementations for their underlying lldb classes, with the addition
				that you can prime them from some sort of text based input files. For classes
				that manage changes over time (like process) you would need to program the
				state at StopPoint 0, StopPoint 1, etc. These could then be used for testing
				reactions to complex threading problems & the like, and also for simulating
				hard-to-test environments (like bare board debugging).

				A Bug-Trapper infrastructure
				----------------------------

				We very often have bugs that can't be reproduced locally. So having a
				bug-report-trapper that can gather enough information from the surroundings of
				a bug so that we can replay the session locally would be a big help tracking
				down issues in this situation. This is tricky because you can't necessarily
				require folks to leak information about their code in order to file bug
				reports. So not only will you have to figure out what state to gather, you're
				also going to have to anonymize it somehow. But we very often have bugs from
				people that can't reduce the problem to a simple test case and can't give us
				our code, and we often just can't help them as things stand now. Note that
				adding the ProcessMock would be a good first stage towards this, since you
				could make a ProcessMock creator/serializer from the current lldb state.

				Expression parser needs syntax for "{symbol,type} A in CU B.cpp"
				----------------------------------------------------------------

				Sometimes you need to specify non-visible or ambiguous types to the expression
				parser. We were planning to do $b_dot_cpp$A or something like. You might want
				to specify a static in a function, in a source file, or in a shared library. So
				the syntax should support all these.

				Add a "testButDontAbort" style test to the UnitTest framework
				-------------------------------------------------------------

				The way we use unittest now (maybe this is the only way it can work, I don't
				know) you can't report a real failure and continue with the test. That is
				appropriate in some cases: if I'm supposed to hit breakpoint A before I
				evaluate an expression, and don't hit breakpoint A, the test should fail. But
				it means that if I want to test five different expressions, I can either do it
				in one test, which is good because it means I only have to fire up one process,
				attach to it, and get it to a certain point. But it also means if the first
				test fails, the other four don't even get run. So though at first we wrote a
				bunch of test like this, as time went on we switched more to writing "one at a
				time" tests because they were more robust against a single failure. That makes
				the test suite run much more slowly. It would be great to add a
				"test_but_dont_abort" variant of the tests, then we could gang tests that all
				drive to the same place and do similar things. As an added benefit, it would
				allow us to be more thorough in writing tests, since each test would have lower
				costs.

				Convert the dotest style tests to use lldbutil.run_to_source_breakpoint
				-----------------------------------------------------------------------

				run_to_source_breakpoint & run_to_name_breakpoint provide a compact API that
				does in one line what the first 10 or 20 lines of most of the old tests now do
				by hand. Using these functions makes tests much more readable, and by
				centralizing common functionality will make maintaining the testsuites easier
				in the future. This is more of a finger exercise, and perhaps best implemented
				by a rule like: "If you touch a test case, and it isn't using
				run_to_source_breakpoint, please make it do so".

				Unify Watchpoint's & Breakpoints
				--------------------------------

				Option handling isn't shared, and more importantly the PerformAction's have a
				lot of duplicated common code, most of which works less well on the Watchpoint
				side.

				Reverse debugging
				-----------------

				This is kind of a holy grail, it's hard to support for complex apps (many
				threads, shared memory, etc.) But it would be SO nice to have...

				Non-stop debugging
				------------------

				By this I mean allowing some threads in the target program to run while
				stopping other threads. This is supported in name in lldb at present, but lldb
				makes the assumption "If I get a stop, I won't get another stop unless I
				actually run the program." in a bunch of places so getting it to work reliably
				will be some a good bit of work. And figuring out how to present this in the UI
				will also be tricky.

				Fix and continue
				----------------

				We did this in gdb without a real JIT. The implementation shouldn't be that
				hard, especially if you can build the executable for fix and continue. The
				tricky part is how to verify that the user can only do the kinds of fixes that
				are safe to do. No changing object sizes is easy to detect, but there were many
				more subtle changes (function you are fixing is on the stack...) that take more
				work to prevent. And then you have to explain these conditions the user in some
				helpful way.

				Unified IR interpreter
				----------------------

				Currently IRInterpreter implements a portion of the LLVM IR, but it doesn't
				handle vector data types and there are plenty of instructions it also doesn't
				support. Conversely, lli supports most of LLVM's IR but it doesn't handle
				remote memory and its function calling support is very rudimentary. It would be
				useful to unify these and make the IR interpreter -- both for LLVM and LLDB --
				better. An alternate strategy would be simply to JIT into the current process
				but have callbacks for non-stack memory access.

				Status
				======

				macOS
				-----

				LLDB has matured a lot in the last year and can be used for C, C++ and
				Objective-C development for x86_64, i386 and ARM debugging. The entire public
				API is exposed though a framework on Mac OS X which is used by Xcode, the lldb
				command line tool, and can also be used by Python. The entire public API is
				exposed through script bridging which allows LLDB to use an embedded Python
				script interpreter, as well as having a Python module named "lldb" which can be
				used from Python on the command line. This allows debug sessions to be
				scripted. It also allows powerful debugging actions to be created and attached
				to a variety of debugging workflows.

				Linux
				-----

				LLDB is improving on Linux. While the debugserver has not been ported (to
				enable remote debugging) Linux is nearing feature completeness with Darwin to
				debug x86_64 programs, and is partially working with i386 programs. ARM
				architectures on Linux are untested. For more details, see the Features by OS
				section below.

				FreeBSD
				-------

				LLDB on FreeBSD lags behind the Linux implementation but is improving rapidly.
				For more details, see the Features by OS section below.

				Windows
				-------

				LLDB on Windows is still under development, but already useful for i386
				programs (x86_64 untested) built with DWARF debug information, including
				postmortem analysis of minidumps. For more details, see the Features by OS
				section below.

				Architecture
				============

				LLDB is a large and complex codebase. This section will help you become more
				familiar with the pieces that make up LLDB and give a general overview of the
				general architecture.

				LLDB has many code groupings that makeup the source base:

				.. contents::
				:local:

				API
				---

				The API folder contains the public interface to LLDB.

				We are currently vending a C++ API. In order to be able to add methods to this
				API and allow people to link to our classes, we have certain rules that we must
				follow:

				- Classes can't inherit from any other classes.
				- Classes can't contain virtual methods.
				- Classes should be compatible with script bridging utilities like swig.
				- Classes should be lightweight and be backed by a single member. Pointers (or
				shared pointers) are the preferred choice since they allow changing the
				contents of the backend without affecting the public object layout.
				- The interface should be as minimal as possible in order to give a complete
				API.

				By adhering to these rules we should be able to continue to vend a C++ API, and
				make changes to the API as any additional methods added to these classes will
				just be a dynamic loader lookup and they won't affect the class layout (since
				they aren't virtual methods, and no members can be added to the class).

				Breakpoint
				----------

				A collection of classes that implement our breakpoint classes. Breakpoints are
				resolved symbolically and always continue to resolve themselves as your program
				runs. Whether settings breakpoints by file and line, by symbol name, by symbol
				regular expression, or by address, breakpoints will keep trying to resolve new
				locations each time shared libraries are loaded. Breakpoints will of course
				unresolve themselves when shared libraries are unloaded. Breakpoints can also
				be scoped to be set only in a specific shared library. By default, breakpoints
				can be set in any shared library and will continue to attempt to be resolved
				with each shared library load.

				Breakpoint options can be set on the breakpoint, or on the individual
				locations. This allows flexibility when dealing with breakpoints and allows us
				to do what the user wants.

				Commands
				--------

				The command source files represent objects that implement the functionality for
				all textual commands available in our command line interface.

				Every command is backed by a ``lldb_private::CommandObject`` or
				``lldb_private::CommandObjectMultiword`` object.

				``lldb_private::CommandObjectMultiword`` are commands that have subcommands and
				allow command line commands to be logically grouped into a hierarchy.

				``lldb_private::CommandObject`` command line commands are the objects that
				implement the functionality of the command. They can optionally define options
				for themselves, as well as group those options into logical groups that can go
				together. The help system is tied into these objects and can extract the syntax
				and option groupings to display appropriate help for each command.

				Core
				----

				The Core source files contain basic functionality that is required in the
				debugger as well as the class represeting the debugger it self (Debugger). A
				wide variety of classes are implemented:

				- Address (section offset addressing)
				- AddressRange
				- Broadcaster / Event / Listener
				- Communication classes that use Connection objects
				- Mangled names
				- Source manager
				- Value objects

				Dataformatters
				--------------

				A collection of classes that implement the data formatters subsystem.

				Data formatters provide a set of user-tweakable hooks in the ValueObjects world
				that allow to customize presentation aspects of variables. While users interact
				with formatters mostly through the type command, inside LLDB there are a few
				layers to the implementation: DataVisualization at the highest end of the
				spectrum, backed by classes implementing individual formatters, matching rules,
				etc.

				For a general user-level introduction to data formatters, you can look here.

				More details on the architecture are to be found here.

				Expression
				----------

				Expression parsing files cover everything from evaluating DWARF expressions, to
				evaluating expressions using Clang.

				The DWARF expression parser has been heavily modified to support type
				promotion, new opcodes needed for evaluating expressions with symbolic variable
				references (expression local variables, program variables), and other operators
				required by typical expressions such as assign, address of, float/double/long
				double floating point values, casting, and more. The DWARF expression parser
				uses a stack of lldb_private::Value objects. These objects know how to do the
				standard C type promotion, and allow for symbolic references to variables in
				the program and in the LLDB process (expression local and expression global
				variables).

				The expression parser uses a full instance of the Clang compiler in order to
				accurately evaluate expressions. Hooks have been put into Clang so that the
				compiler knows to ask about identifiers it doesn't know about. Once expressions
				have be compiled into an AST, we can then traverse this AST and either generate
				a DWARF expression that contains simple opcodes that can be quickly
				re-evaluated each time an expression needs to be evaluated, or JIT'ed up into
				code that can be run on the process being debugged.

				Host
				----

				LLDB tries to abstract itself from the host upon which it is currently running
				by providing a host abstraction layer. This layer includes functionality, whose
				implementation varies wildly from host to host.

				Host functionality includes abstraction layers for:

				- Information about the host system (triple, list of running processes, etc.)
				- Launching processes
				- Various OS primitives like pipes and sockets

				It also includes the base classes of the NativeProcess/Thread hierarchy, which
				is used by lldb-server.

				Interpreter
				-----------

				The interpreter classes are the classes responsible for being the base classes
				needed for each command object, and is responsible for tracking and running
				command line commands.

				Symbol
				------

				Symbol classes involve everything needed in order to parse object files and
				debug symbols. All the needed classes for compilation units (code and debug
				info for a source file), functions, lexical blocks within functions, inlined
				functions, types, declaration locations, and variables are in this section.

				Target
				------

				Classes that are related to a debug target include:

				- Target
				- Process
				- Thread
				- Stack frames
				- Stack frame registers
				- ABI for function calling in process being debugged
				- Execution context batons

				Utility
				-------

				This module contains the lowest layers of LLDB. A lot of these classes don't
				really have anything to do with debugging -- they are just there because the
				higher layers of the debugger use these clasess to implement their
				functionality. Others are data structures used in many other parts of the
				debugger (TraceOptions). Most of the functionality in this module could be
				useful in an application that is not a debugger; however, providing a general
				purpose C++ library is an explicit non-goal of this module.

				This module provides following functionality:

				- Abstract path manipulation (FileSpec)
				- Architecture specification
				- Data buffers (DataBuffer, DataEncoder, DataExtractor)
				- Logging
				- Structured data manipulation (JSON)
				- Streams
				- Timers

				For historic reasons, some of this functionality overlaps that which is
				provided by the LLVM support library.

				Stack Frame and Thread Format
				=============================

				.. contents::
				:local:

				LLDB has a facility to allow users to define the format of the information that
				generates the descriptions for threads and stack frames. Typically when your
				program stops at a breakpoint you will get two lines that describes why your
				thread stopped and where:

				::

				* thread #1, queue = 'com.apple.main-thread', stop reason = breakpoint 1.1
				frame #0: test`main at test.c:5

				Stack backtraces frames also have a similar information line:

				::

				(lldb) thread backtrace
				* thread #1, queue = 'com.apple.main-thread', stop reason = breakpoint 1.1
				frame #0: 0x0000000100000e85 a.out`main + 4 at test.c:19
				frame #1: 0x0000000100000e40 a.out`start + 52

				The two format strings that govern the printing in these output forms can
				currently be set using the settings set command:

				::

				(lldb) settings set thread-stop-format STRING
				(lldb) settings set frame-format STRING

				The first of these is an abbreviated thread output, that just contains data
				about the thread, and not the stop frame. It will always get used in situations
				where the frame output follows immediately, so that information would be
				redundant. The second is the frame printing.

				There is another thread format used for commands like thread list where the
				thread information isn't followed by frame info. In that case, it is convenient
				to have frame zero information in the thread output. That format is set by:

				::

				(lldb) settings set thread-format STRING


				Format Strings
				--------------

				So what is the format of the format strings? Format strings can contain plain
				text, control characters and variables that have access to the current program
				state.

				Normal characters are any text that doesn't contain a ``{``, ``}``, ``$``, or
				``\`` character.

				Variable names are found in between a ``${`` prefix, and end with a ``}``
				suffix. In other words, a variable looks like ``${frame.pc}``.

				+---------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

				Control Characters
				------------------

				Control characters include ``{``, ``}``, and ``\``.

				The ``{`` and ``}`` are used for scoping blocks, and the ``\`` character allows
				you to desensitize control characters and also emit non-printable characters.

				Desensitizing Characters in the Format String
				---------------------------------------------

				The backslash control character allows your to enter the typical ``\a``,
				``\b``, ``\f``, ``\n``, ``\r``, ``\t``, ``\v``, ``\\``, characters and along
				with the standard octal representation ``\0123`` and hex ``\xAB`` characters.
				This allows you to enter escape characters into your format strings and will
				allow colorized output for terminals that support color.

				Scoping
				-------

				Many times the information that you might have in your prompt might not be
				available and you won``t want it to print out if it isn``t valid. To take care
				of this you can enclose everything that must resolve into a scope. A scope is
				starts with ``{`` and ends with ``}``. For example in order to only display the
				current frame line table entry basename and line number when the information is
				available for the current frame:

				::

				"{ at {$line.file.basename}:${line.number}}"


				Broken down this is:

				- The start the scope: ``{`` ,
				- format whose content will only be displayed if all information is available: ``at {$line.file.basename}:${line.number}``
				- end the scope: ``}``

				Making the Frame Format
				-----------------------

				The information that we see when stopped in a frame:

				::

				frame #0: 0x0000000100000e85 a.out`main + 4 at test.c:19

				can be displayed with the following format:

				::

				"frame #${frame.index}: ${frame.pc}{ ${module.file.basename}`${function.name}{${function.pc-offset}}}{ at ${line.file.basename}:${line.number}}\n"

				This breaks down to:

				- Always print the frame index and frame PC: ``frame #${frame.index}: ${frame.pc}``,
				- only print the module followed by a tick if there is a valid module for the current frame: ``{ ${module.file.basename}`}``,
				- print the function name with optional offset: ``{${function.name}{${function.pc-offset}}}``,
				- print the line info if it is available: ``{ at ${line.file.basename}:${line.number}}``,
				- then finish off with a newline: ``\n``.

				Making Your own Formats
				-----------------------

				When modifying your own format strings, it is useful to start with the default
				values for the frame and thread format strings. These can be accessed with the
				``settings show`` command:

				::

				(lldb) settings show thread-format
				thread-format (format-string) = "thread #${thread.index}: tid = ${thread.id%tid}{, ${frame.pc}}{ ${module.file.basename}{`${function.name-with-args}{${frame.no-debug}${function.pc-offset}}}}{ at ${line.file.basename}:${line.number}}{, name = '${thread.name}'}{, queue = '${thread.queue}'}{, activity = '${thread.info.activity.name}'}{, ${thread.info.trace_messages} messages}{, stop reason = ${thread.stop-reason}}{\nReturn value: ${thread.return-value}}{\nCompleted expression: ${thread.completed-expression}}\n"
				(lldb) settings show frame-format
				frame-format (format-string) = "frame #${frame.index}:{ ${frame.no-debug}${frame.pc}}{ ${module.file.basename}{`${function.name-with-args}{${frame.no-debug}${function.pc-offset}}}}{ at ${line.file.basename}:${line.number}}{${function.is-optimized} [opt]}\n"

				When making thread formats, you will need surround any of the information that
				comes from a stack frame with scopes ({ frame-content }) as the thread format
				doesn't always want to show frame information. When displaying the backtrace
				for a thread, we don't need to duplicate the information for frame zero in the
				thread information:

				::

				(lldb) thread backtrace
				thread #1: tid = 0x2e03, stop reason = breakpoint 1.1 2.1
				frame #0: 0x0000000100000e85 a.out`main + 4 at test.c:19
				frame #1: 0x0000000100000e40 a.out`start + 52

				The frame related variables are:

				- ``${file.*}``
				- ``${frame.*}``
				- ``${function.*}``
				- ``${line.*}``
				- ``${module.*}``


				Looking at the default format for the thread, and underlining the frame
				information:

				::

				thread #${thread.index}: tid = ${thread.id}{, ${frame.pc}}{ ${module.file.basename}`${function.name}{${function.pc-offset}}}{, stop reason = ${thread.stop-reason}}{, name = ${thread.name}}{, queue = ${thread.queue}}\n


				We can see that all frame information is contained in scopes so that when the
				thread information is displayed in a context where we only want to show thread
				information, we can do so.

				For both thread and frame formats, you can use ${script.target:python_func},
				${script.process:python_func} and ${script.thread:python_func} (and of course
				${script.frame:python_func} for frame formats) In all cases, the signature of
				python_func is expected to be:

				::

				def python_func(object,unused):
				...
				return string

				Where object is an instance of the SB class associated to the keyword you are
				using.

				e.g. Assuming your function looks like:

				::

				def thread_printer_func (thread,unused):
				return "Thread %s has %d frames\n" % (thread.name, thread.num_frames)

				And you set it up with:

				::

				(lldb) settings set thread-format "${script.thread:thread_printer_func}"

				you would see output like:

				::

				* Thread main has 21 frames

				Below is a table of GDB commands with the LLDB counterparts. The built in
				GDB-compatibility aliases in LLDB are also listed. The full lldb command names
				are often long, but any unique short form can be used. Instead of "**breakpoint
				set", "br se**" is also acceptable.

				Python Scripting
				================

				LLDB has been structured from the beginning to be scriptable in two
				ways -- a Unix Python session can initiate/run a debug session
				non-interactively using LLDB; and within the LLDB debugger tool, Python
				scripts can be used to help with many tasks, including inspecting
				program data, iterating over containers and determining if a breakpoint
				should stop execution or continue. This document will show how to do
				some of these things by going through an example, explaining how to use
				Python scripting to find a bug in a program that searches for text in a
				large binary tree.

				.. contents::
				:local:

				The Test Program and Input
				--------------------------

				We have a simple C program (dictionary.c) that reads in a text file,
				and stores all the words from the file in a Binary Search Tree, sorted
				alphabetically. It then enters a loop prompting the user for a word,
				searching for the word in the tree (using Binary Search), and reporting
				to the user whether or not it found the word in the tree.

				The input text file we are using to test our program contains the text
				for William Shakespeare's famous tragedy "Romeo and Juliet".

				The Bug
				-------

				When we try running our program, we find there is a problem. While it
				successfully finds some of the words we would expect to find, such as
				"love" or "sun", it fails to find the word "Romeo", which MUST be in
				the input text file:

				::

				% ./dictionary Romeo-and-Juliet.txt
				Dictionary loaded.
				Enter search word: love
				Yes!
				Enter search word: sun
				Yes!
				Enter search word: Romeo
				No!
				Enter search word: ^D
				%

				Using Depth First Search
				------------------------

				Our first job is to determine if the word "Romeo" actually got inserted
				into the tree or not. Since "Romeo and Juliet" has thousands of words,
				trying to examine our binary search tree by hand is completely
				impractical. Therefore we will write a Python script to search the tree
				for us. We will write a recursive Depth First Search function that
				traverses the entire tree searching for a word, and maintaining
				information about the path from the root of the tree to the current
				node. If it finds the word in the tree, it returns the path from the
				root to the node containing the word. This is what our DFS function in
				Python would look like, with line numbers added for easy reference in
				later explanations:

				::

				1: def DFS (root, word, cur_path):
				2: root_word_ptr = root.GetChildMemberWithName ("word")
				3: left_child_ptr = root.GetChildMemberWithName ("left")
				4: right_child_ptr = root.GetChildMemberWithName ("right")
				5: root_word = root_word_ptr.GetSummary()
				6: end = len (root_word) - 1
				7: if root_word[0] == '"' and root_word[end] == '"':
				8: root_word = root_word[1:end]
				9: end = len (root_word) - 1
				10: if root_word[0] == '\'' and root_word[end] == '\'':
				11: root_word = root_word[1:end]
				12: if root_word == word:
				13: return cur_path
				14: elif word < root_word:
				15: if left_child_ptr.GetValue() == None:
				16: return ""
				17: else:
				18: cur_path = cur_path + "L"
				19: return DFS (left_child_ptr, word, cur_path)
				20: else:
				21: if right_child_ptr.GetValue() == None:
				22: return ""
				23: else:
				24: cur_path = cur_path + "R"
				25: return DFS (right_child_ptr, word, cur_path)


				Accessing & Manipulating Program Variables
				------------------------------------------

				Before we can call any Python function on any of our program's
				variables, we need to get the variable into a form that Python can
				access. To show you how to do this we will look at the parameters for
				the DFS function. The first parameter is going to be a node in our
				binary search tree, put into a Python variable. The second parameter is
				the word we are searching for (a string), and the third parameter is a
				string representing the path from the root of the tree to our current
				node.

				The most interesting parameter is the first one, the Python variable
				that needs to contain a node in our search tree. How can we take a
				variable out of our program and put it into a Python variable? What
				kind of Python variable will it be? The answers are to use the LLDB API
				functions, provided as part of the LLDB Python module. Running Python
				from inside LLDB, LLDB will automatically give us our current frame
				object as a Python variable, "lldb.frame". This variable has the type
				"SBFrame" (see the LLDB API for more information about SBFrame
				objects). One of the things we can do with a frame object, is to ask it
				to find and return its local variable. We will call the API function
				"FindVariable" on the lldb.frame object to give us our dictionary
				variable as a Python variable:

				::

				root = lldb.frame.FindVariable ("dictionary")

				The line above, executed in the Python script interpreter in LLDB, asks the
				current frame to find the variable named "dictionary" and return it. We then
				store the returned value in the Python variable named "root". This answers the
				question of HOW to get the variable, but it still doesn't explain WHAT actually
				gets put into "root". If you examine the LLDB API, you will find that the
				SBFrame method "FindVariable" returns an object of type SBValue. SBValue
				objects are used, among other things, to wrap up program variables and values.
				There are many useful methods defined in the SBValue class to allow you to get
				information or children values out of SBValues. For complete information, see
				the header file SBValue.h. The SBValue methods that we use in our DFS function
				are ``GetChildMemberWithName()``, ``GetSummary()``, and ``GetValue()``.


				Explaining DFS Script in Detail
				-------------------------------

				Before diving into the details of this code, it would be best to give a
				high-level overview of what it does. The nodes in our binary search tree were
				defined to have type ``tree_node *``, which is defined as:

				::

				typedef struct tree_node
				{
				const char *word;
				struct tree_node *left;
				struct tree_node *right;
				} tree_node;

				Lines 2-11 of DFS are getting data out of the current tree node and getting
				ready to do the actual search; lines 12-25 are the actual depth-first search.
				Lines 2-4 of our DFS function get the word, left and right fields out of the
				current node and store them in Python variables. Since root_word_ptr is a
				pointer to our word, and we want the actual word, line 5 calls GetSummary() to
				get a string containing the value out of the pointer. Since GetSummary() adds
				quotes around its result, lines 6-11 strip surrounding quotes off the word.

				Line 12 checks to see if the word in the current node is the one we are
				searching for. If so, we are done, and line 13 returns the current path.
				Otherwise, line 14 checks to see if we should go left (search word comes before
				the current word). If we decide to go left, line 15 checks to see if the left
				pointer child is NULL ("None" is the Python equivalent of NULL). If the left
				pointer is NULL, then the word is not in this tree and we return an empty path
				(line 16). Otherwise, we add an "L" to the end of our current path string, to
				indicate we are going left (line 18), and then recurse on the left child (line
				19). Lines 20-25 are the same as lines 14-19, except for going right rather
				than going left.

				One other note: Typing something as long as our DFS function directly into the
				interpreter can be difficult, as making a single typing mistake means having to
				start all over. Therefore we recommend doing as we have done: Writing your
				longer, more complicated script functions in a separate file (in this case
				tree_utils.py) and then importing it into your LLDB Python interpreter.


				The DFS Script in Action
				------------------------

				At this point we are ready to use the DFS function to see if the word "Romeo"
				is in our tree or not. To actually use it in LLDB on our dictionary program,
				you would do something like this:

				::

				% lldb
				(lldb) process attach -n "dictionary"
				Architecture set to: x86_64.
				Process 521 stopped
				* thread #1: tid = 0x2c03, 0x00007fff86c8bea0 libSystem.B.dylib`read$NOCANCEL + 8, stop reason = signal SIGSTOP
				frame #0: 0x00007fff86c8bea0 libSystem.B.dylib`read$NOCANCEL + 8
				(lldb) breakpoint set -n find_word
				Breakpoint created: 1: name = 'find_word', locations = 1, resolved = 1
				(lldb) continue
				Process 521 resuming
				Process 521 stopped
				* thread #1: tid = 0x2c03, 0x0000000100001830 dictionary`find_word + 16
				at dictionary.c:105, stop reason = breakpoint 1.1
				frame #0: 0x0000000100001830 dictionary`find_word + 16 at dictionary.c:105
				102 int
				103 find_word (tree_node dictionary, char word)
				104 {
				-> 105 if (!word \|\| !dictionary)
				106 return 0;
				107
				108 int compare_value = strcmp (word, dictionary->word);
				(lldb) script
				Python Interactive Interpreter. To exit, type 'quit()', 'exit()' or Ctrl-D.
				>>> import tree_utils
				>>> root = lldb.frame.FindVariable ("dictionary")
				>>> current_path = ""
				>>> path = tree_utils.DFS (root, "Romeo", current_path)
				>>> print path
				LLRRL
				>>> ^D
				(lldb)

				The first bit of code above shows starting lldb, attaching to the dictionary
				program, and getting to the find_word function in LLDB. The interesting part
				(as far as this example is concerned) begins when we enter the script command
				and drop into the embedded interactive Python interpreter. We will go over this
				Python code line by line. The first line

				::

				import tree_utils


				imports the file where we wrote our DFS function, tree_utils.py, into Python.
				Notice that to import the file we leave off the ".py" extension. We can now
				call any function in that file, giving it the prefix "tree_utils.", so that
				Python knows where to look for the function. The line

				::

				root = lldb.frame.FindVariable ("dictionary")


				gets our program variable "dictionary" (which contains the binary search tree)
				and puts it into the Python variable "root". See Accessing & Manipulating
				Program Variables in Python above for more details about how this works. The
				next line is

				::

				current_path = ""

				This line initializes the current_path from the root of the tree to our current
				node. Since we are starting at the root of the tree, our current path starts as
				an empty string. As we go right and left through the tree, the DFS function
				will append an 'R' or an 'L' to the current path, as appropriate. The line

				::

				path = tree_utils.DFS (root, "Romeo", current_path)

				calls our DFS function (prefixing it with the module name so that Python can
				find it). We pass in our binary tree stored in the variable root, the word we
				are searching for, and our current path. We assign whatever path the DFS
				function returns to the Python variable path.

				Finally, we want to see if the word was found or not, and if so we want to see
				the path through the tree to the word. So we do

				::

				print path

				From this we can see that the word "Romeo" was indeed found in the tree, and
				the path from the root of the tree to the node containing "Romeo" is
				left-left-right-right-left.

				Using Breakpoint Command Scripts
				--------------------------------

				We are halfway to figuring out what the problem is. We know the word we are
				looking for is in the binary tree, and we know exactly where it is in the
				binary tree. Now we need to figure out why our binary search algorithm is not
				finding the word. We will do this using breakpoint command scripts.

				The idea is as follows. The binary search algorithm has two main decision
				points: the decision to follow the right branch; and, the decision to follow
				the left branch. We will set a breakpoint at each of these decision points, and
				attach a Python breakpoint command script to each breakpoint. The breakpoint
				commands will use the global path Python variable that we got from our DFS
				function. Each time one of these decision breakpoints is hit, the script will
				compare the actual decision with the decision the front of the path variable
				says should be made (the first character of the path). If the actual decision
				and the path agree, then the front character is stripped off the path, and
				execution is resumed. In this case the user never even sees the breakpoint
				being hit. But if the decision differs from what the path says it should be,
				then the script prints out a message and does NOT resume execution, leaving the
				user sitting at the first point where a wrong decision is being made.

				Python Breakpoint Command Scripts Are Not What They Seem
				--------------------------------------------------------

				What do we mean by that? When you enter a Python breakpoint command in LLDB, it
				appears that you are entering one or more plain lines of Python. BUT LLDB then
				takes what you entered and wraps it into a Python FUNCTION (just like using the
				"def" Python command). It automatically gives the function an obscure, unique,
				hard-to-stumble-across function name, and gives it two parameters: frame and
				bp_loc. When the breakpoint gets hit, LLDB wraps up the frame object where the
				breakpoint was hit, and the breakpoint location object for the breakpoint that
				was hit, and puts them into Python variables for you. It then calls the Python
				function that was created for the breakpoint command, and passes in the frame
				and breakpoint location objects.

				So, being practical, what does this mean for you when you write your Python
				breakpoint commands? It means that there are two things you need to keep in
				mind: 1. If you want to access any Python variables created outside your
				script, you must declare such variables to be global. If you do not declare
				them as global, then the Python function will treat them as local variables,
				and you will get unexpected behavior. 2. All Python breakpoint command scripts
				automatically have a frame and a bp_loc variable. The variables are pre-loaded
				by LLDB with the correct context for the breakpoint. You do not have to use
				these variables, but they are there if you want them.

				The Decision Point Breakpoint Commands
				--------------------------------------

				This is what the Python breakpoint command script would look like for the
				decision to go right:

				::

				global path
				if path[0] == 'R':
				path = path[1:]
				thread = frame.GetThread()
				process = thread.GetProcess()
				process.Continue()
				else:
				print "Here is the problem; going right, should go left!"
				Just as a reminder, LLDB is going to take this script and wrap it up in a function, like this:


				def some_unique_and_obscure_function_name (frame, bp_loc):
				global path
				if path[0] == 'R':
				path = path[1:]
				thread = frame.GetThread()
				process = thread.GetProcess()
				process.Continue()
				else:
				print "Here is the problem; going right, should go left!"

				LLDB will call the function, passing in the correct frame and breakpoint
				location whenever the breakpoint gets hit. There are several things to notice
				about this function. The first one is that we are accessing and updating a
				piece of state (the path variable), and actually conditioning our behavior
				based upon this variable. Since the variable was defined outside of our script
				(and therefore outside of the corresponding function) we need to tell Python
				that we are accessing a global variable. That is what the first line of the
				script does. Next we check where the path says we should go and compare it to
				our decision (recall that we are at the breakpoint for the decision to go
				right). If the path agrees with our decision, then we strip the first character
				off of the path.

				Since the decision matched the path, we want to resume execution. To do this we
				make use of the frame parameter that LLDB guarantees will be there for us. We
				use LLDB API functions to get the current thread from the current frame, and
				then to get the process from the thread. Once we have the process, we tell it
				to resume execution (using the Continue() API function).

				If the decision to go right does not agree with the path, then we do not resume
				execution. We allow the breakpoint to remain stopped (by doing nothing), and we
				print an informational message telling the user we have found the problem, and
				what the problem is.

				Actually Using The Breakpoint Commands
				--------------------------------------

				Now we will look at what happens when we actually use these breakpoint commands
				on our program. Doing a source list -n find_word shows us the function
				containing our two decision points. Looking at the code below, we see that we
				want to set our breakpoints on lines 113 and 115:

				::

				(lldb) source list -n find_word
				File: /Volumes/Data/HD2/carolinetice/Desktop/LLDB-Web-Examples/dictionary.c.
				101
				102 int
				103 find_word (tree_node dictionary, char word)
				104 {
				105 if (!word \|\| !dictionary)
				106 return 0;
				107
				108 int compare_value = strcmp (word, dictionary->word);
				109
				110 if (compare_value == 0)
				111 return 1;
				112 else if (compare_value < 0)
				113 return find_word (dictionary->left, word);
				114 else
				115 return find_word (dictionary->right, word);
				116 }
				117


				So, we set our breakpoints, enter our breakpoint command scripts, and see what happens:

				::

				(lldb) breakpoint set -l 113
				Breakpoint created: 2: file ='dictionary.c', line = 113, locations = 1, resolved = 1
				(lldb) breakpoint set -l 115
				Breakpoint created: 3: file ='dictionary.c', line = 115, locations = 1, resolved = 1
				(lldb) breakpoint command add -s python 2
				Enter your Python command(s). Type 'DONE' to end.
				> global path
				> if (path[0] == 'L'):
				> path = path[1:]
				> thread = frame.GetThread()
				> process = thread.GetProcess()
				> process.Continue()
				> else:
				> print "Here is the problem. Going left, should go right!"
				> DONE
				(lldb) breakpoint command add -s python 3
				Enter your Python command(s). Type 'DONE' to end.
				> global path
				> if (path[0] == 'R'):
				> path = path[1:]
				> thread = frame.GetThread()
				> process = thread.GetProcess()
				> process.Continue()
				> else:
				> print "Here is the problem. Going right, should go left!"
				> DONE
				(lldb) continue
				Process 696 resuming
				Here is the problem. Going right, should go left!
				Process 696 stopped
				* thread #1: tid = 0x2d03, 0x000000010000189f dictionary`find_word + 127 at dictionary.c:115, stop reason = breakpoint 3.1
				frame #0: 0x000000010000189f dictionary`find_word + 127 at dictionary.c:115
				112 else if (compare_value < 0)
				113 return find_word (dictionary->left, word);
				114 else
				-> 115 return find_word (dictionary->right, word);
				116 }
				117
				118 void
				(lldb)


				After setting our breakpoints, adding our breakpoint commands and continuing,
				we run for a little bit and then hit one of our breakpoints, printing out the
				error message from the breakpoint command. Apparently at this point in the
				tree, our search algorithm decided to go right, but our path says the node we
				want is to the left. Examining the word at the node where we stopped, and our
				search word, we see:

				::

				(lldb) expr dictionary->word
				(const char *) $1 = 0x0000000100100080 "dramatis"
				(lldb) expr word
				(char *) $2 = 0x00007fff5fbff108 "romeo"

				So the word at our current node is "dramatis", and the word we are searching
				for is "romeo". "romeo" comes after "dramatis" alphabetically, so it seems like
				going right would be the correct decision. Let's ask Python what it thinks the
				path from the current node to our word is:

				::

				(lldb) script print path
				LLRRL

				According to Python we need to go left-left-right-right-left from our current
				node to find the word we are looking for. Let's double check our tree, and see
				what word it has at that node:

				::

				(lldb) expr dictionary->left->left->right->right->left->word
				(const char *) $4 = 0x0000000100100880 "Romeo"

				So the word we are searching for is "romeo" and the word at our DFS location is
				"Romeo". Aha! One is uppercase and the other is lowercase: We seem to have a
				case conversion problem somewhere in our program (we do).

				This is the end of our example on how you might use Python scripting in LLDB to
				help you find bugs in your program.

				Remote Debugging
				================

				Remote debugging refers to the act of debugging a process which is running on a
				different system, than the debugger itself. We shall refer to the system
				running the debugger as the local system, while the system running the debugged
				process will be the remote system.

				To enable remote debugging, LLDB employs a client-server architecture. The
				client part runs on the local system and the remote system runs the server. The
				client and server communicate using the gdb-remote protocol, usually
				transported over TCP/IP. More information on the protocol can be found here and
				the LLDB-specific extensions are documented in docs/lldb-gdb-remote.txt file
				inside LLDB source repository. Besides the gdb-remote stub, the server part of
				LLDB also consists of a platform binary, which is responsible for performing
				advanced debugging operations, like copying files from/to the remote system and
				can be used to execute arbitrary shell commands on the remote system.

				In order to reduce code complexity and improve remote debugging experience LLDB
				on Linux and OSX uses the remote debugging stub even when debugging a process
				locally. This is achieved by spawning a remote stub process locally and
				communicating with it over the loopback interface. In the case of local
				debugging this whole process is transparent to the user. The platform binary is
				not used in this case, since no file transfers are needed.

				Preparation for Remote Debugging
				--------------------------------

				While the process of actual debugging (stepping, backtraces, evaluating
				expressions) is same as in the local case, in the case of remote debugging,
				more preparation is needed as the required binaries cannot started on the
				remote system automatically. Also, if the remote system runs a different OS or
				architecture, the server component needs to be compiled separately.

				Remote system

				On Linux and Android, all required remote functionality is contained in the
				lldb-server binary. This binary combines the functionality of the platform and
				gdb-remote stub. A single binary facilitates deployment and reduces code size,
				since the two functions share a lot of code. The lldb-server binary is also
				statically linked with the rest of LLDB (unlike lldb, which dynamically links
				to liblldb.so by default), so it does not have any dependencies on the rest of
				lldb. On Mac OSX and iOS, the remote-gdb functionality is implemented by the
				debugserver binary, which you will need to deploy alongside lldb-server.

				The binaries mentioned above need to be present on the remote system to enable
				remote debugging. You can either compile on the remote system directly or copy
				them from the local machine. If compiling locally and the remote architecture
				differs from the local one, you will need to cross-compile the correct version
				of the binaries. More information on cross-compiling LLDB can be found on the
				build page.

				Once the binaries are in place, you just need to run the lldb-server in
				platform mode and specify the port it should listen on. For example, the
				command

				::

				remote% lldb-server platform --listen "*:1234" --server

				will start the LLDB platform and wait for incoming connections from any address
				to port 1234. Specifying an address instead of * will only allow connections
				originating from that address. Adding a --server parameter to the command line
				will fork off a new process for every incoming connection, allowing multiple
				parallel debug sessions.

				Local system

				On the local system, you need to let LLDB know that you intend to do remote
				debugging. This is achieved through the platform command and its sub-commands.
				As a first step you need to choose the correct platform plug-in for your remote
				system. A list of available plug-ins can be obtained through platform list.

				::

				local% lldb
				(lldb) platform list
				Available platforms:
				host: Local Mac OS X user platform plug-in.
				remote-freebsd: Remote FreeBSD user platform plug-in.
				remote-linux: Remote Linux user platform plug-in.
				remote-netbsd: Remote NetBSD user platform plug-in.
				remote-windows: Remote Windows user platform plug-in.
				remote-android: Remote Android user platform plug-in.
				remote-ios: Remote iOS platform plug-in.
				remote-macosx: Remote Mac OS X user platform plug-in.
				ios-simulator: iOS simulator platform plug-in.
				darwin-kernel: Darwin Kernel platform plug-in.
				tvos-simulator: Apple TV simulator platform plug-in.
				watchos-simulator: Apple Watch simulator platform plug-in.
				remote-tvos: Remote Apple TV platform plug-in.
				remote-watchos: Remote Apple Watch platform plug-in.
				remote-gdb-server: A platform that uses the GDB remote protocol as the communication transport.

				The default platform is the platform host which is used for local debugging.
				Apart from this, the list should contain a number of plug-ins, for debugging
				different kinds of systems. The remote plug-ins are prefixed with "remote-".
				For example, to debug a remote Linux application:

				::

				(lldb) platform select remote-linux

				After selecting the platform plug-in, you should receive a prompt which
				confirms the selected platform, and states that you are not connected. This is
				because remote plug-ins need to be connected to their remote platform
				counterpart to operate. This is achieved using the platform connect command.
				This command takes a number of arguments (as always, use the help command to
				find out more), but normally you only need to specify the address to connect
				to, e.g.:

				::

				(lldb) platform connect connect://remote:1234
				Platform: remote-linux
				Triple: x86_64-gnu-linux
				Hostname: remote
				Connected: yes
				WorkingDir: /tmp

				Note that the platform has a working directory of /tmp. This directory will be
				used as the directory that executables will be uploaded to by default when
				launching a process from local.

				After this, you should be able to debug normally. You can use the process
				attach to attach to an existing remote process or target create, process launch
				to start a new one. The platform plugin will transparently take care of
				uploading or downloading the executable in order to be able to debug. If your
				application needs additional files, you can transfer them using the platform
				commands: get-file, put-file, mkdir, etc. The environment can be prepared
				further using the platform shell command.

				Launching a locally built process on the remote machine

				Install and run in the platform working directory

				To launch a locally built process on the remote system in the platform working
				directory:

				::

				(lldb) file a.out
				(lldb) run

				This will cause LLDB to create a target with the "a.out" executable that you
				cross built. The "run" command will cause LLDB to upload "a.out" to the
				platform's current working directory only if the file has changed. The platform
				connection allows us to transfer files, but also allows us to get the MD5
				checksum of the file on the other end and only upload the file if it has
				changed. LLDB will automatically launch a lldb-server in gdbremote mode to
				allow you to debug this executable, connect to it and start your debug session
				for you.

				Changing the platform working directory

				You can change the platform working directory while connected to the platform
				with:

				::

				(lldb) platform settings -w /usr/local/bin

				And you can verify it worked using "platform status":

				::

				(lldb) platform status
				Platform: remote-linux
				Triple: x86_64-gnu-linux
				Hostname: remote
				Connected: yes
				WorkingDir: /usr/local/bin

				If we run again, the program will be installed into ``/usr/local/bin``.

				Install and run by specifying a remote install path

				If you want the "a.out" executable to be installed into "/bin/a.out" instead of
				the platform's current working directory, we can set the platform file
				specification using python:

				::

				(lldb) file a.out
				(lldb) script lldb.target.module['a.out'].SetPlatformFileSpec("/bin/a.out")
				(lldb) run

				Now when you run your program, the program will be uploaded to "/bin/a.out"
				instead of the platform current working directory. Only the main executable is
				uploaded to the remote system by default when launching the application. If you
				have shared libraries that should also be uploaded, then you can add the
				locally build shared library to the current target and set its platform file
				specification:

				::

				(lldb) file a.out
				(lldb) target module add /local/build/libfoo.so
				(lldb) target module add /local/build/libbar.so
				(lldb) script lldb.target.module['libfoo.so'].SetPlatformFileSpec("/usr/lib/libfoo.so")
				(lldb) script lldb.target.module['libbar.so'].SetPlatformFileSpec("/usr/local/lib/libbar.so")
				(lldb) run

				Attaching to a remote process

				If you want to attach to a remote process, you can first list the processes on
				the remote system:

				::

				(lldb) platform process list
				223 matching processes were found on "remote-linux"
				PID PARENT USER TRIPLE NAME
				====== ====== ========== ======================== ============================
				68639 90652 x86_64-apple-macosx lldb
				...

				Then attaching is as simple as specifying the remote process ID:

				::

				(lldb) attach 68639

				Symbolication
				=============

				.. contents::
				:local:


				LLDB is separated into a shared library that contains the core of the debugger,
				and a driver that implements debugging and a command interpreter. LLDB can be
				used to symbolicate your crash logs and can often provide more information than
				other symbolication programs:

				- Inlined functions
				- Variables that are in scope for an address, along with their locations

				The simplest form of symbolication is to load an executable:

				::

				(lldb) target create --no-dependents --arch x86_64 /tmp/a.out

				We use the ``--no-dependents`` flag with the ``target create`` command so that
				we don't load all of the dependent shared libraries from the current system.
				When we symbolicate, we are often symbolicating a binary that was running on
				another system, and even though the main executable might reference shared
				libraries in ``/usr/lib``, we often don't want to load the versions on the
				current computer.

				Using the ``image list`` command will show us a list of all shared libraries
				associated with the current target. As expected, we currently only have a
				single binary:

				::

				(lldb) image list
				[ 0] 73431214-6B76-3489-9557-5075F03E36B4 0x0000000100000000 /tmp/a.out
				/tmp/a.out.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/a.out

				Now we can look up an address:

				::

				(lldb) image lookup --address 0x100000aa3
				Address: a.out[0x0000000100000aa3] (a.out.__TEXT.__text + 131)
				Summary: a.out`main + 67 at main.c:13

				Since we haven't specified a slide or any load addresses for individual
				sections in the binary, the address that we use here is a file address. A file
				address refers to a virtual address as defined by each object file.

				If we didn't use the ``--no-dependents`` option with ``target create``, we
				would have loaded all dependent shared libraries:

				::

				(lldb) image list
				[ 0] 73431214-6B76-3489-9557-5075F03E36B4 0x0000000100000000 /tmp/a.out
				/tmp/a.out.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/a.out
				[ 1] 8CBCF9B9-EBB7-365E-A3FF-2F3850763C6B 0x0000000000000000 /usr/lib/system/libsystem_c.dylib
				[ 2] 62AA0B84-188A-348B-8F9E-3E2DB08DB93C 0x0000000000000000 /usr/lib/system/libsystem_dnssd.dylib
				[ 3] C0535565-35D1-31A7-A744-63D9F10F12A4 0x0000000000000000 /usr/lib/system/libsystem_kernel.dylib
				...

				Now if we do a lookup using a file address, this can result in multiple matches
				since most shared libraries have a virtual address space that starts at zero:

				::

				(lldb) image lookup -a 0x1000
				Address: a.out[0x0000000000001000] (a.out.__PAGEZERO + 4096)

				Address: libsystem_c.dylib[0x0000000000001000] (libsystem_c.dylib.__TEXT.__text + 928)
				Summary: libsystem_c.dylib`mcount + 9

				Address: libsystem_dnssd.dylib[0x0000000000001000] (libsystem_dnssd.dylib.__TEXT.__text + 456)
				Summary: libsystem_dnssd.dylib`ConvertHeaderBytes + 38

				Address: libsystem_kernel.dylib[0x0000000000001000] (libsystem_kernel.dylib.__TEXT.__text + 1116)
				Summary: libsystem_kernel.dylib`clock_get_time + 102
				...

				To avoid getting multiple file address matches, you can specify the name of the
				shared library to limit the search:

				::

				(lldb) image lookup -a 0x1000 a.out
				Address: a.out[0x0000000000001000] (a.out.__PAGEZERO + 4096)

				Defining Load Addresses for Sections
				------------------------------------

				When symbolicating your crash logs, it can be tedious if you always have to
				adjust your crashlog-addresses into file addresses. To avoid having to do any
				conversion, you can set the load address for the sections of the modules in
				your target. Once you set any section load address, lookups will switch to
				using load addresses. You can slide all sections in the executable by the same
				amount, or set the load address for individual sections. The ``target modules
				load --slide`` command allows us to set the load address for all sections.

				Below is an example of sliding all sections in a.out by adding 0x123000 to each
				section's file address:

				::

				(lldb) target create --no-dependents --arch x86_64 /tmp/a.out
				(lldb) target modules load --file a.out --slide 0x123000


				It is often much easier to specify the actual load location of each section by
				name. Crash logs on Mac OS X have a Binary Images section that specifies that
				address of the __TEXT segment for each binary. Specifying a slide requires
				requires that you first find the original (file) address for the __TEXT
				segment, and subtract the two values. If you specify the address of the __TEXT
				segment with ``target modules load section address``, you don't need to do any
				calculations. To specify the load addresses of sections we can specify one or
				more section name + address pairs in the ``target modules load`` command:

				::

				(lldb) target create --no-dependents --arch x86_64 /tmp/a.out
				(lldb) target modules load --file a.out __TEXT 0x100123000

				We specified that the __TEXT section is loaded at 0x100123000. Now that we have
				defined where sections have been loaded in our target, any lookups we do will
				now use load addresses so we don't have to do any math on the addresses in the
				crashlog backtraces, we can just use the raw addresses:

				::

				(lldb) image lookup --address 0x100123aa3
				Address: a.out[0x0000000100000aa3] (a.out.__TEXT.__text + 131)
				Summary: a.out`main + 67 at main.c:13

				Loading Multiple Executables
				----------------------------

				You often have more than one executable involved when you need to symbolicate a
				crash log. When this happens, you create a target for the main executable or
				one of the shared libraries, then add more modules to the target using the
				``target modules add`` command.

				Lets say we have a Darwin crash log that contains the following images:

				::

				Binary Images:
				0x100000000 - 0x100000ff7 <A866975B-CA1E-3649-98D0-6C5FAA444ECF> /tmp/a.out
				0x7fff83f32000 - 0x7fff83ffefe7 <8CBCF9B9-EBB7-365E-A3FF-2F3850763C6B> /usr/lib/system/libsystem_c.dylib
				0x7fff883db000 - 0x7fff883e3ff7 <62AA0B84-188A-348B-8F9E-3E2DB08DB93C> /usr/lib/system/libsystem_dnssd.dylib
				0x7fff8c0dc000 - 0x7fff8c0f7ff7 <C0535565-35D1-31A7-A744-63D9F10F12A4> /usr/lib/system/libsystem_kernel.dylib

				First we create the target using the main executable and then add any extra
				shared libraries we want:

				::

				(lldb) target create --no-dependents --arch x86_64 /tmp/a.out
				(lldb) target modules add /usr/lib/system/libsystem_c.dylib
				(lldb) target modules add /usr/lib/system/libsystem_dnssd.dylib
				(lldb) target modules add /usr/lib/system/libsystem_kernel.dylib


				If you have debug symbols in standalone files, such as dSYM files on Mac OS X,
				you can specify their paths using the --symfile option for the ``target create``
				(recent LLDB releases only) and ``target modules add`` commands:

				::

				(lldb) target create --no-dependents --arch x86_64 /tmp/a.out --symfile /tmp/a.out.dSYM
				(lldb) target modules add /usr/lib/system/libsystem_c.dylib --symfile /build/server/a/libsystem_c.dylib.dSYM
				(lldb) target modules add /usr/lib/system/libsystem_dnssd.dylib --symfile /build/server/b/libsystem_dnssd.dylib.dSYM
				(lldb) target modules add /usr/lib/system/libsystem_kernel.dylib --symfile /build/server/c/libsystem_kernel.dylib.dSYM

				Then we set the load addresses for each __TEXT section (note the colors of the
				load addresses above and below) using the first address from the Binary Images
				section for each image:

				::

				(lldb) target modules load --file a.out 0x100000000
				(lldb) target modules load --file libsystem_c.dylib 0x7fff83f32000
				(lldb) target modules load --file libsystem_dnssd.dylib 0x7fff883db000
				(lldb) target modules load --file libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x7fff8c0dc000


				Now any stack backtraces that haven't been symbolicated can be symbolicated
				using ``image lookup`` with the raw backtrace addresses.

				Given the following raw backtrace:

				::

				Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
				0 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x00007fff8a1e6d46 __kill + 10
				1 libsystem_c.dylib 0x00007fff84597df0 abort + 177
				2 libsystem_c.dylib 0x00007fff84598e2a __assert_rtn + 146
				3 a.out 0x0000000100000f46 main + 70
				4 libdyld.dylib 0x00007fff8c4197e1 start + 1

				We can now symbolicate the load addresses:

				::

				(lldb) image lookup -a 0x00007fff8a1e6d46
				(lldb) image lookup -a 0x00007fff84597df0
				(lldb) image lookup -a 0x00007fff84598e2a
				(lldb) image lookup -a 0x0000000100000f46


				Getting Variable Information
				----------------------------

				If you add the --verbose flag to the ``image lookup --address`` command, you
				can get verbose information which can often include the locations of some of
				your local variables:

				::


				(lldb) image lookup --address 0x100123aa3 --verbose
				Address: a.out[0x0000000100000aa3] (a.out.__TEXT.__text + 110)

				Variable: id = {0x000000bf}, name = "path", type= "char [1024]", location = DW_OP_fbreg(-1072), decl = main.c:28
				Variable: id = {0x00000072}, name = "argc", type= "int", location = r13, decl = main.c:8
				Variable: id = {0x00000081}, name = "argv", type= "const char **", location = r12, decl = main.c:8
				Variable: id = {0x00000090}, name = "envp", type= "const char **", location = r15, decl = main.c:8
				Variable: id = {0x0000009f}, name = "aapl", type= "const char **", location = rbx, decl = main.c:8

				The interesting part is the variables that are listed. The variables are the
				parameters and local variables that are in scope for the address that was
				specified. These variable entries have locations which are shown in bold above.
				Crash logs often have register information for the first frame in each stack,
				and being able to reconstruct one or more local variables can often help you
				decipher more information from a crash log than you normally would be able to.
				Note that this is really only useful for the first frame, and only if your
				crash logs have register information for your threads.

				Using Python API to Symbolicate
				-------------------------------

				All of the commands above can be done through the python script bridge. The
				code below will recreate the target and add the three shared libraries that we
				added in the darwin crash log example above:

				::

				triple = "x86_64-apple-macosx"
				platform_name = None
				add_dependents = False
				target = lldb.debugger.CreateTarget("/tmp/a.out", triple, platform_name, add_dependents, lldb.SBError())
				if target:
				# Get the executable module
				module = target.GetModuleAtIndex(0)
				target.SetSectionLoadAddress(module.FindSection("__TEXT"), 0x100000000)
				module = target.AddModule ("/usr/lib/system/libsystem_c.dylib", triple, None, "/build/server/a/libsystem_c.dylib.dSYM")
				target.SetSectionLoadAddress(module.FindSection("__TEXT"), 0x7fff83f32000)
				module = target.AddModule ("/usr/lib/system/libsystem_dnssd.dylib", triple, None, "/build/server/b/libsystem_dnssd.dylib.dSYM")
				target.SetSectionLoadAddress(module.FindSection("__TEXT"), 0x7fff883db000)
				module = target.AddModule ("/usr/lib/system/libsystem_kernel.dylib", triple, None, "/build/server/c/libsystem_kernel.dylib.dSYM")
				target.SetSectionLoadAddress(module.FindSection("__TEXT"), 0x7fff8c0dc000)

				load_addr = 0x00007fff8a1e6d46
				# so_addr is a section offset address, or a lldb.SBAddress object
				so_addr = target.ResolveLoadAddress (load_addr)
				# Get a symbol context for the section offset address which includes
				# a module, compile unit, function, block, line entry, and symbol
				sym_ctx = so_addr.GetSymbolContext (lldb.eSymbolContextEverything)
				print sym_ctx


				Use Builtin Python Module to Symbolicate
				----------------------------------------

				LLDB includes a module in the lldb package named lldb.utils.symbolication. This module contains a lot of symbolication functions that simplify the symbolication process by allowing you to create objects that represent symbolication class objects such as:

				- lldb.utils.symbolication.Address
				- lldb.utils.symbolication.Section
				- lldb.utils.symbolication.Image
				- lldb.utils.symbolication.Symbolicator


				lldb.utils.symbolication.Address

				This class represents an address that will be symbolicated. It will cache any
				information that has been looked up: module, compile unit, function, block,
				line entry, symbol. It does this by having a lldb.SBSymbolContext as a member
				variable.

				lldb.utils.symbolication.Section

				This class represents a section that might get loaded in a
				lldb.utils.symbolication.Image. It has helper functions that allow you to set
				it from text that might have been extracted from a crash log file.

				lldb.utils.symbolication.Image

				This class represents a module that might get loaded into the target we use for
				symbolication. This class contains the executable path, optional symbol file
				path, the triple, and the list of sections that will need to be loaded if we
				choose the ask the target to load this image. Many of these objects will never
				be loaded into the target unless they are needed by symbolication. You often
				have a crash log that has 100 to 200 different shared libraries loaded, but
				your crash log stack backtraces only use a few of these shared libraries. Only
				the images that contain stack backtrace addresses need to be loaded in the
				target in order to symbolicate.

				Subclasses of this class will want to override the
				locate_module_and_debug_symbols method:

				::

				class CustomImage(lldb.utils.symbolication.Image):
				def locate_module_and_debug_symbols (self):
				# Locate the module and symbol given the info found in the crash log

				Overriding this function allows clients to find the correct executable module
				and symbol files as they might reside on a build server.

				lldb.utils.symbolication.Symbolicator

				This class coordinates the symbolication process by loading only the
				lldb.utils.symbolication.Image instances that need to be loaded in order to
				symbolicate an supplied address.

				lldb.macosx.crashlog

				lldb.macosx.crashlog is a package that is distributed on Mac OS X builds that
				subclasses the above classes. This module parses the information in the Darwin
				crash logs and creates symbolication objects that represent the images, the
				sections and the thread frames for the backtraces. It then uses the functions
				in the lldb.utils.symbolication to symbolicate the crash logs.

				This module installs a new ``crashlog`` command into the lldb command
				interpreter so that you can use it to parse and symbolicate Mac OS X crash
				logs:

				::

				(lldb) command script import lldb.macosx.crashlog
				"crashlog" and "save_crashlog" command installed, use the "--help" option for detailed help
				(lldb) crashlog /tmp/crash.log
				...

				The command that is installed has built in help that shows the options that can
				be used when symbolicating:

				::

				(lldb) crashlog --help
				Usage: crashlog [options] [FILE ...]

				Symbolicate one or more darwin crash log files to provide source file and line
				information, inlined stack frames back to the concrete functions, and
				disassemble the location of the crash for the first frame of the crashed
				thread. If this script is imported into the LLDB command interpreter, a
				``crashlog`` command will be added to the interpreter for use at the LLDB
				command line. After a crash log has been parsed and symbolicated, a target will
				have been created that has all of the shared libraries loaded at the load
				addresses found in the crash log file. This allows you to explore the program
				as if it were stopped at the locations described in the crash log and functions
				can be disassembled and lookups can be performed using the addresses found in
				the crash log.

				::

				Options:
				-h, --help show this help message and exit
				-v, --verbose display verbose debug info
				-g, --debug display verbose debug logging
				-a, --load-all load all executable images, not just the images found
				in the crashed stack frames
				--images show image list
				--debug-delay=NSEC pause for NSEC seconds for debugger
				-c, --crashed-only only symbolicate the crashed thread
				-d DISASSEMBLE_DEPTH, --disasm-depth=DISASSEMBLE_DEPTH
				set the depth in stack frames that should be
				disassembled (default is 1)
				-D, --disasm-all enabled disassembly of frames on all threads (not just
				the crashed thread)
				-B DISASSEMBLE_BEFORE, --disasm-before=DISASSEMBLE_BEFORE
				the number of instructions to disassemble before the
				frame PC
				-A DISASSEMBLE_AFTER, --disasm-after=DISASSEMBLE_AFTER
				the number of instructions to disassemble after the
				frame PC
				-C NLINES, --source-context=NLINES
				show NLINES source lines of source context (default =
				4)
				--source-frames=NFRAMES
				show source for NFRAMES (default = 4)
				--source-all show source for all threads, not just the crashed
				thread
				-i, --interactive parse all crash logs and enter interactive mode


				The source for the "symbolication" and "crashlog" modules are available in SVN.

				Symbols on macOS
				================

				.. contents::
				:local:

				On macOS, debug symbols are often in stand alone bundles called dSYM files.
				These are bundles that contain DWARF debug information and other resources
				related to builds and debug info.

				The DebugSymbols.framework framework helps locate dSYM files when given a UUID.
				It can locate the symbols using a variety of methods:

				- Spotlight
				- Explicit search paths
				- Implicit search paths
				- File mapped UUID paths
				- Running one or more shell scripts

				DebugSymbols.framework also has global defaults that can be modified to allow
				all of the debug tools (lldb, gdb, sample, CoreSymbolication.framework) to
				easily find important debug symbols. The domain for the DebugSymbols.framework
				defaults is com.apple.DebugSymbols, and the defaults can be read, written
				or modified using the defaults shell command:

				::

				% defaults read com.apple.DebugSymbols
				% defaults write com.apple.DebugSymbols KEY ...
				% defaults delete com.apple.DebugSymbols KEY

				The following is a list of the defaults key value setting pairs that can
				be used to enhance symbol location:

				DBGFileMappedPaths

				This default can be specified as a single string, or an array of
				strings. Each string represents a directory that contains file mapped
				UUID values that point to dSYM files. See the "File Mapped UUID
				Directories" section below for more details. Whenever
				DebugSymbols.framework is asked to lookup a dSYM file, it will first
				look in any file mapped UUID directories for a quick match.

				::

				% defaults write com.apple.DebugSymbols DBGFileMappedPaths -string /path/to/uuidmap1
				% defaults write com.apple.DebugSymbols DBGFileMappedPaths -array /path/to/uuidmap1
				/path/to/uuidmap2

				DBGShellCommands

				This default can be specified as a single string, or an array of
				strings. Specifies a shell script that will get run in order to find the
				dSYM. The shell script will be run given a single UUID value as the
				shell command arguments and the shell command is expected to return a
				property list. See the property list format defined below.

				::

				% defaults write com.apple.DebugSymbols DBGShellCommands -string /path/to/script1
				% defaults write com.apple.DebugSymbols DBGShellCommands -array /path/to/script1
				/path/to/script2

				DBGSpotlightPaths

				Specifies the directories to limit spotlight searches to as a string or
				array of strings. When any other defaults are supplied to
				com.apple.DebugSymbols, spotlight searches will be disabled unless
				this default is set to an empty array:

				::

				# Specify an empty array to keep Spotlight searches enabled in all locations
				% defaults write com.apple.DebugSymbols DBGSpotlightPaths -array

				# Specify an array of paths to limit spotlight searches to certain directories
				% defaults write com.apple.DebugSymbols DBGSpotlightPaths -array /path/dir1 /path/dir2

				Shell Script Property List Format
				---------------------------------

				Shell scripts that are specified with the DBGShellCommands defaults key
				will be run in the order in which they are specified until a match is found.
				The shell script will be invoked with a single UUID string value like
				"23516BE4-29BE-350C-91C9-F36E7999F0F1". The shell script must respond with a
				property list being written to STDOUT. The property list returned must contain
				UUID string values as the root key values, with a dictionary for each UUID. The
				dictionaries can contain one or more of the following keys:

				+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
				\| Key \| Description \|
				+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
				\| DBGArchitecture \| A textual architecture or target \|
				\| \| triple like "x86_64", "i386", or \|
				\| \| "x86_64-apple-macosx". \|
				+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
				\| DBGBuildSourcePath \| A path prefix that was used when \|
				\| \| building the dSYM file. The debug \|
				\| \| information will contain paths \|
				\| \| with this prefix. \|
				+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
				\| DBGSourcePath \| A path prefix for where the \|
				\| \| sources exist after the build has \|
				\| \| completed. Often when building \|
				\| \| projects, build machines will \|
				\| \| host the sources in a temporary \|
				\| \| directory while building, then \|
				\| \| move the sources to another \|
				\| \| location for archiving. If the \|
				\| \| paths in the debug info don't \|
				\| \| match where the sources are \|
				\| \| currently hosted, then specifying \|
				\| \| this path along with the \|
				\| \| DBGBuildSourcePath will help \|
				\| \| the developer tools always show \|
				\| \| you sources when debugging or \|
				\| \| symbolicating. \|
				+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
				\| DBGDSYMPath \| A path to the dSYM mach-o file \|
				\| \| inside the dSYM bundle. \|
				+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
				\| DBGSymbolRichExecutable \| A path to the symbol rich \|
				\| \| executable. Binaries are often \|
				\| \| stripped after being built and \|
				\| \| packaged into a release. If your \|
				\| \| build systems saves an unstripped \|
				\| \| executable a path to this \|
				\| \| executable can be provided. \|
				+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
				\| DBGError \| If a binary can not be located \|
				\| \| for the supplied UUID, a user \|
				\| \| readable error can be returned. \|
				+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+

				Below is a sample shell script output for a binary that contains two
				architectures:

				::

				<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
				<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

				<string>/path/to/unstripped/executable</string>
				</dict>
				</dict>
				</plist>

				There is no timeout imposed on a shell script when is it asked to locate a dSYM
				file, so be careful to not make a shell script that has high latency or takes a
				long time to download unless this is really what you want. This can slow down
				debug sessions in LLDB and GDB, symbolication with CoreSymbolication or Report
				Crash, with no visible feedback to the user. You can quickly return a plist
				with a single DBGError key that indicates a timeout has been reached. You
				might also want to exec new processes to do the downloads so that if you return
				an error that indicates a timeout, your download can still proceed after your
				shell script has exited so subsequent debug sessions can use the cached files.
				It is also important to track when a current download is in progress in case
				you get multiple requests for the same UUID so that you don't end up
				downloading the same file simultaneously. Also you will want to verify the
				download was successful and then and only then place the file into the cache
				for tools that will cache files locally.

				Embedding UUID property lists inside the dSYM bundles
				-----------------------------------------------------

				Since dSYM files are bundles, you can also place UUID info plists files inside
				your dSYM bundles in the Contents/Resources directory. One of the main
				reasons to create the UUID plists inside the dSYM bundles is that it will help
				LLDB and other developer tools show you source. LLDB currently knows how to
				check for these plist files so it can automatically remap the source location
				information in the debug info.

				If we take the two UUID values from the returns plist above, we can split them
				out and save then in the dSYM bundle:

				::

				% ls /path/to/foo.dSYM/Contents/Resources
				23516BE4-29BE-350C-91C9-F36E7999F0F1.plist
				A40597AA-5529-3337-8C09-D8A014EB1578.plist

				% cat /path/to/foo.dSYM/Contents/Resources/23516BE4-29BE-350C-91C9-F36E7999F0F1.plist
				<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
				<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
				<plist version="1.0">
				<dict>
				<key>DBGArchitecture</key>
				<string>i386</string>
				<key>DBGBuildSourcePath</key>
				<string>/path/to/build/sources</string>
				<key>DBGSourcePath</key>
				<string>/path/to/actual/sources</string>
				<key>DBGDSYMPath</key>
				<string>/path/to/foo.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/foo</string>
				<key>DBGSymbolRichExecutable</key>
				<string>/path/to/unstripped/executable</string>
				<key>DBGVersion</key>
				<string>3</string>
				<key>DBGSourcePathRemapping</key>
				<dict>
				<key>/path/to/build/time/src/location1</key>
				<string>/path/to/debug/time/src/location</string>
				<key>/path/to/build/time/src/location2</key>
				<string>/path/to/debug/time/src/location</string>
				</dict>
				<key>DBGSymbolRichExecutable</key>
				<string>/path/to/unstripped/executable</string>
				</dict>
				</plist>

				Note that the output is very close to what is needed by shell script output, so
				making the results of your shell script will be very easy to create by
				combining two plists into a single one where you take the UUID and use it a
				string key, and the value is the contents of the plist.

				LLDB will read the following entries from the per-UUID plist file in the dSYM
				bundle: DBGSymbolRichExecutable, DBGBuildSourcePath and
				DBGSourcePath, and DBGSourcePathRemapping if DBGVersion is 3 or
				higher. DBGBuildSourcePath and DBGSourcePath are for remapping a single
				file path. For instance, the files may be in /BuildDir/SheetApp/SheetApp-37
				when built, but they are in /SourceDir/SheetApp/SheetApp-37 at debug time,
				those two paths could be listed in those keys. If there are multiple source
				path remappings, the DBGSourcePathRemapping dictionary can be used, where
				an arbitrary number of entries may be present. DBGVersion should be 3 or
				DBGSourcePathRemapping will not be read. If both DBGSourcePathRemapping
				AND DBGBuildSourcePath/DBGSourcePath are present in the plist, the
				DBGSourcePathRemapping entries will be used for path remapping first. This
				may allow for more specific remappings in the DBGSourcePathRemapping
				dictionary and a less specific remapping in the
				DBGBuildSourcePath/DBGSourcePath pair as a last resort.

				File Mapped UUID Directories
				----------------------------

				File Mapped directories can be used for efficient dSYM file lookups for local
				or remote dSYM files. The UUID is broken up by splitting the first 20 hex
				digits into 4 character chunks, and a directory is created for each chunk, and
				each subsequent directory is created inside the previous one. A symlink is then
				created whose name is the last 12 hex digits in the deepest directory. The
				symlinks value is a full path to the mach-o files inside the dSYM bundle which
				contains the DWARF. Whenever DebugSymbols.framework is asked to lookup a dSYM
				file, it will first look in any file mapped UUID directories for a quick match
				if the defaults are appropriately set.

				For example, if we take the sample UUID plist inforamtion from above, we can
				create a File Mapped UUID directory cache in
				~/Library/SymbolCache/dsyms/uuids. We can easily see how things are laid
				out:

				::

				% find ~/Library/SymbolCache/dsyms/uuids -type l
				~/Library/SymbolCache/dsyms/uuids/2351/6BE4/29BE/350C/91C9/F36E7999F0F1
				~/Library/SymbolCache/dsyms/uuids/A405/97AA/5529/3337/8C09/D8A014EB1578

				The last entries in these file mapped directories are symlinks to the actual
				dsym mach file in the dsym bundle:

				::

				% ls -lAF ~/Library/SymbolCache/dsyms/uuids/2351/6BE4/29BE/350C/91C9/F36E7999F0F1
				~/Library/SymbolCache/dsyms/uuids/2351/6BE4/29BE/350C/91C9/F36E7999F0F1@ -> ../../../../../../dsyms/foo.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/foo

				Then you can also tell DebugSymbols to check this UUID file map cache using:

				::

				% defaults write com.apple.DebugSymbols DBGFileMappedPaths ~/Library/SymbolCache/dsyms/uuids

				dSYM Locating Shell Script Tips
				-------------------------------

				One possible implementation of a dSYM finding shell script is to have the
				script download and cache files locally in a known location. Then create a UUID
				map for each UUID value that was found in a local UUID File Map cache so the
				next query for the dSYM file will be able to use the cached version. So the
				shell script is used to initially download and cache the file, and subsequent
				accesses will use the cache and avoid calling the shell script.

				Then the defaults for DebugSymbols.framework will entail enabling your shell
				script, enabling the file mapped path setting so that already downloaded dSYMS
				fill quickly be found without needing to run the shell script every time, and
				also leaving spotlight enabled so that other normal dSYM files are still found:

				::

				% defaults write com.apple.DebugSymbols DBGShellCommands /path/to/shellscript
				% defaults write com.apple.DebugSymbols DBGFileMappedPaths ~/Library/SymbolCache/dsyms/uuids
				% defaults write com.apple.DebugSymbols DBGSpotlightPaths -array

				Hopefully this helps explain how DebugSymbols.framework can help any company
				implement a smart symbol finding and caching with minimal overhead.

				Troubleshooting
				===============

				.. contents::
				:local:

				File and Line Breakpoints Are Not Getting Hit
				---------------------------------------------

				First you must make sure that your source files were compiled with debug
				information. Typically this means passing -g to the compiler when compiling
				your source file.

				When setting breakpoints in implementation source files (.c, cpp, cxx, .m, .mm,
				etc), LLDB by default will only search for compile units whose filename
				matches. If your code does tricky things like using #include to include source
				files:

				::

				% cat foo.c
				#include "bar.c"
				#include "baz.c"
				...

				This will cause breakpoints in "bar.c" to be inlined into the compile unit for
				"foo.c". If your code does this, or if your build system combines multiple
				files in some way such that breakpoints from one implementation file will be
				compiled into another implementation file, you will need to tell LLDB to always
				search for inlined breakpoint locations by adding the following line to your
				~/.lldbinit file:

				::

				% echo "settings set target.inline-breakpoint-strategy always" >> ~/.lldbinit

				This tells LLDB to always look in all compile units and search for breakpoint
				locations by file and line even if the implementation file doesn't match.
				Setting breakpoints in header files always searches all compile units because
				inline functions are commonly defined in header files and often cause multiple
				breakpoints to have source line information that matches many header file
				paths.

				If you set a file and line breakpoint using a full path to the source file,
				like Xcode does when setting a breakpoint in its GUI on Mac OS X when you click
				in the gutter of the source view, this path must match the full paths in the
				debug information. If the paths mismatch, possibly due to passing in a resolved
				source file path that doesn't match an unresolved path in the debug
				information, this can cause breakpoints to not be resolved. Try setting
				breakpoints using the file basename only.

				If you are using an IDE and you move your project in your file system and build
				again, sometimes doing a clean then build will solve the issue.This will fix
				the issue if some .o files didn't get rebuilt after the move as the .o files in
				the build folder might still contain stale debug information with the old
				source locations.

				How Do I Check If I Have Debug Symbols?
				---------------------------------------

				Checking if a module has any compile units (source files) is a good way to
				check if there is debug information in a module:

				::

				(lldb) file /tmp/a.out
				(lldb) image list
				[ 0] 71E5A649-8FEF-3887-9CED-D3EF8FC2FD6E 0x0000000100000000 /tmp/a.out
				/tmp/a.out.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/a.out
				[ 1] 6900F2BA-DB48-3B78-B668-58FC0CF6BCB8 0x00007fff5fc00000 /usr/lib/dyld
				....
				(lldb) script lldb.target.module['/tmp/a.out'].GetNumCompileUnits()
				1
				(lldb) script lldb.target.module['/usr/lib/dyld'].GetNumCompileUnits()
				0

				Above we can see that "/tmp/a.out" does have a compile unit, and
				"/usr/lib/dyld" does not.

				We can also list the full paths to all compile units for a module using python:

				::

				(lldb) script
				Python Interactive Interpreter. To exit, type 'quit()', 'exit()' or Ctrl-D.
				>>> m = lldb.target.module['a.out']
				>>> for i in range(m.GetNumCompileUnits()):
				... cu = m.GetCompileUnitAtIndex(i).file.fullpath
				/tmp/main.c
				/tmp/foo.c
				/tmp/bar.c
				>>>

				This can help to show the actual full path to the source files. Sometimes IDEs
				will set breakpoints by full paths where the path doesn't match the full path
				in the debug info and this can cause LLDB to not resolve breakpoints. You can
				use the breakpoint list command with the --verbose option to see the full paths
				for any source file and line breakpoints that the IDE set using:

				::

				(lldb) breakpoint list --verbose

				Tutorial
				========

				Here's a short precis of how to run lldb if you are familiar with the gdb
				command set. We will start with some details on lldb command structure and
				syntax to help orient you.

				.. contents::
				:local:

				Command Structure
				-----------------

				Unlike gdb's command set, which is rather free-form, we tried to make the lldb command syntax fairly structured. The commands are all of the form:

				::

				<noun> <verb> [-options [option-value]] [argument [argument...]]

				The command line parsing is done before command execution, so it is uniform
				across all the commands. The command syntax for basic commands is very simple,
				arguments, options and option values are all white-space separated, and
				double-quotes are used to protect white-spaces in an argument. If you need to
				put a backslash or double-quote character in an argument you back-slash it in
				the argument. That makes the command syntax more regular, but it also means you
				may have to quote some arguments in lldb that you wouldn't in gdb.


				Options can be placed anywhere on the command line, but if the arguments begin
				with a "-" then you have to tell lldb that you're done with options for the
				current command by adding an option termination: "--" So for instance if you
				want to launch a process and give the "process launch" command the
				"--stop-at-entry" option, yet you want the process you are about to launch to
				be launched with the arguments "-program_arg value", you would type:

				::

				(lldb) process launch --stop-at-entry -- -program_arg value

				We also tried to reduce the number of special purpose argument parsers, which
				sometimes forces the user to be a little more explicit about stating their
				intentions. The first instance you'll note of this is the breakpoint command.
				In gdb, to set a breakpoint, you might enter

				::

				(gdb) break foo.c:12

				to break at line 12 of foo.c, and:

				::

				(gdb) break foo

				to break at the function foo. As time went on, the parser that tells foo.c:12
				from foo from foo.c::foo (which means the function foo in the file foo.c) got
				more and more complex and bizarre, and especially in C++ there are times where
				there's really no way to specify the function you want to break on. The lldb
				commands are more verbose but also more precise and allow for intelligent auto
				completion.

				To set the same file and line breakpoint in LLDB you can enter either of:

				::

				(lldb) breakpoint set --file foo.c --line 12
				(lldb) breakpoint set -f foo.c -l 12

				To set a breakpoint on a function named foo in LLDB you can enter either of:

				::

				(lldb) breakpoint set --name foo
				(lldb) breakpoint set -n foo

				You can use the --name option multiple times to make a breakpoint on a set of
				functions as well. This is convenient since it allows you to set common
				conditions or commands without having to specify them multiple times:

				::

				(lldb) breakpoint set --name foo --name bar

				Setting breakpoints by name is even more specialized in LLDB as you can specify
				that you want to set a breakpoint at a function by method name. To set a
				breakpoint on all C++ methods named foo you can enter either of:

				::

				(lldb) breakpoint set --method foo
				(lldb) breakpoint set -M foo


				To set a breakpoint Objective-C selectors named alignLeftEdges: you can enter either of:

				::

				(lldb) breakpoint set --selector alignLeftEdges:
				(lldb) breakpoint set -S alignLeftEdges:

				You can limit any breakpoints to a specific executable image by using the
				"--shlib <path>" ("-s <path>" for short):

				::

				(lldb) breakpoint set --shlib foo.dylib --name foo
				(lldb) breakpoint set -s foo.dylib -n foo

				The --shlib option can also be repeated to specify several shared libraries.

				Suggestions on more interesting primitives of this sort are also very welcome.

				Just like gdb, the lldb command interpreter does a shortest unique string match
				on command names, so the following two commands will both execute the same
				command:

				::

				(lldb) breakpoint set -n "-[SKTGraphicView alignLeftEdges:]"
				(lldb) br s -n "-[SKTGraphicView alignLeftEdges:]"

				lldb also supports command completion for source file names, symbol names, file
				names, etc. Completion is initiated by a hitting a TAB. Individual options in a
				command can have different completers, so for instance the "--file <path>"
				option in "breakpoint" completes to source files, the "--shlib <path>" option
				to currently loaded shared libraries, etc. We can even do things like if you
				specify "--shlib <path>", and are completing on "--file <path>", we will only
				list source files in the shared library specified by "--shlib <path>".

				The individual commands are pretty extensively documented. You can use the help
				command to get an overview of which commands are available or to obtain details
				about specific commands. There is also an apropos command that will search the
				help text for all commands for a particular word and dump a summary help string
				for each matching command.

				Finally, there is a mechanism to construct aliases for commonly used commands.
				So for instance if you get annoyed typing:

				::

				(lldb) breakpoint set --file foo.c --line 12

				you can do:

				::

				(lldb) command alias bfl breakpoint set -f %1 -l %2
				(lldb) bfl foo.c 12

				We have added a few aliases for commonly used commands (e.g. "step", "next" and
				"continue") but we haven't tried to be exhaustive because in our experience it
				is more convenient to make the basic commands unique down to a letter or two,
				and then learn these sequences than to fill the namespace with lots of aliases,
				and then have to type them all the way out.

				However, users are free to customize lldb's command set however they like, and
				since lldb reads the file ~/.lldbinit at startup, you can store all your
				aliases there and they will be generally available to you. Your aliases are
				also documented in the help command so you can remind yourself of what you've
				set up.

				One alias of note that we do include by popular demand is a weak emulator of
				gdb's "break" command. It doesn't try to do everything that gdb's break command
				does (for instance, it doesn't handle foo.c::bar. But it mostly works, and
				makes the transition easier. Also by popular demand, it is aliased to b. If you
				actually want to learn the lldb command set natively, that means it will get in
				the way of the rest of the breakpoint commands. Fortunately, if you don't like
				one of our aliases, you an easily get rid of it by running (for example):

				::

				(lldb) command unalias b

				I actually also do:

				::

				(lldb) command alias b breakpoint

				so I can run the native lldb breakpoint command with just b

				The lldb command parser also supports "raw" commands, where, after command
				options are stripped off, the rest of the command string is passed
				uninterpreted to the command. This is convenient for commands whose arguments
				might be some complex expression that would be painful to backslash protect.
				For instance the "expression" command is a "raw" command for obvious reasons.
				The "help" output for a command will tell you if it is "raw" or not, so you
				know what to expect. The one thing you have to watch out for is that since raw
				commands still can have options, if your command string has dashes in it,
				you'll have to indicate these are not option markers by putting "--" after the
				command name, but before your command string.

				lldb also has a built-in Python interpreter, which is accessible by the
				"script" command. All the functionality of the debugger is available as classes
				in the Python interpreter, so the more complex commands that in gdb you would
				introduce with the "define" command can be done by writing Python functions
				using the lldb-Python library, then loading the scripts into your running
				session and accessing them with the "script" command.

				Having given an overview of lldb's command syntax, we proceed to lay out the
				stages of a standard debug session.


				Loading a Program into lldb
				---------------------------

				First we need to set the program to debug. As with gdb, you can start lldb and specify the file you wish to debug on the command line:

				::

				$ lldb /Projects/Sketch/build/Debug/Sketch.app
				Current executable set to '/Projects/Sketch/build/Debug/Sketch.app' (x86_64).

				or you can specify it after the fact with the "file" command:

				::

				$ lldb
				(lldb) file /Projects/Sketch/build/Debug/Sketch.app
				Current executable set to '/Projects/Sketch/build/Debug/Sketch.app' (x86_64).

				Setting Breakpoints
				-------------------

				We've discussed how to set breakpoints above. You can use help breakpoint set
				to see all the options for breakpoint setting. For instance, we might do:

				::

				(lldb) breakpoint set --selector alignLeftEdges:
				Breakpoint created: 1: name = 'alignLeftEdges:', locations = 1, resolved = 1

				You can find out about the breakpoints you've set with:

				::

				(lldb) breakpoint list
				Current breakpoints:
				1: name = 'alignLeftEdges:', locations = 1, resolved = 1
				1.1: where = Sketch`-[SKTGraphicView alignLeftEdges:] + 33 at /Projects/Sketch/SKTGraphicView.m:1405, address = 0x0000000100010d5b, resolved, hit count = 0


				Note that setting a breakpoint creates a logical breakpoint, which could
				resolve to one or more locations. For instance, break by selector would set a
				breakpoint on all the methods that implement that selector in the classes in
				your program. Similarly, a file and line breakpoint might result in multiple
				locations if that file and line were inlined in different places in your code.

				The logical breakpoint has an integer id, and it's locations have an id within
				their parent breakpoint (the two are joined by a ".", e.g. 1.1 in the example
				above.)

				Also the logical breakpoints remain live so that if another shared library were
				to be loaded that had another implementation of the "alignLeftEdges:" selector,
				the new location would be added to breakpoint 1 (e.g. a "1.2" breakpoint would
				be set on the newly loaded selector).

				The other piece of information in the breakpoint listing is whether the
				breakpoint location was resolved or not. A location gets resolved when the file
				address it corresponds to gets loaded into the program you are debugging. For
				instance if you set a breakpoint in a shared library that then gets unloaded,
				that breakpoint location will remain, but it will no longer be resolved.


				One other thing to note for gdb users is that lldb acts like gdb with:

				::

				(gdb) set breakpoint pending on

				That is, lldb will always make a breakpoint from your specification, even if it
				couldn't find any locations that match the specification. You can tell whether
				the expression was resolved or not by checking the locations field in
				"breakpoint list", and we report the breakpoint as "pending" when you set it so
				you can tell you've made a typo more easily, if that was indeed the reason no
				locations were found:


				::

				(lldb) breakpoint set --file foo.c --line 12
				Breakpoint created: 2: file ='foo.c', line = 12, locations = 0 (pending)
				WARNING: Unable to resolve breakpoint to any actual locations.

				You can delete, disable, set conditions and ignore counts either on all the
				locations generated by your logical breakpoint, or on any one of the particular
				locations your specification resolved to. For instance if we wanted to add a
				command to print a backtrace when we hit this breakpoint we could do:

				::

				(lldb) breakpoint command add 1.1
				Enter your debugger command(s). Type 'DONE' to end.
				> bt
				> DONE

				By default, the breakpoint command add command takes lldb command line
				commands. You can also specify this explicitly by passing the "--command"
				option. Use "--script" if you want to implement your breakpoint command using
				the Python script instead.

				This is an convenient point to bring up another feature of the lldb command
				help. Do:

				::

				(lldb) help break command add
				Add a set of commands to a breakpoint, to be executed whenever the breakpoint is hit.

				Syntax: breakpoint command add <cmd-options> <breakpt-id>
				etc...

				When you see arguments to commands specified in the Syntax in angle brackets
				like <breakpt-id>, that indicates that that is some common argument type that
				you can get further help on from the command system. So in this case you could
				do:

				::

				(lldb) help <breakpt-id> <breakpt-id> -- Breakpoint ID's consist major and
				minor numbers; the major etc...


				Breakpoint Names
				----------------

				Breakpoints carry two orthognal sets of information: one specifies where to set the breakpoint, and the other how to react when the breakpoint is hit. The latter set of information (e.g. commands, conditions, hit-count, auto-continue...) we call breakpoint options.

				It is fairly common to want to apply one set of options to a number of breakpoints. For instance, you might want to check that self == nil and if it is, print a backtrace and continue, on a number of methods. One convenient way to do that would be to make all the breakpoints, then configure the options with:

				::

				(lldb) breakpoint modify -c "self == nil" -C bt --auto-continue 1 2 3

				That's not too bad, but you have to repeat this for every new breakpoint you make, and if you wanted to change the options, you have to remember all the ones you are using this way.

				Breakpoint names provide a convenient solution to this problem. The simple solution would be to use the name to gather the breakpoints you want to affect this way into a group. So when you make the breakpoint you would do:

				::

				(lldb) breakpoint set -N SelfNil

				Then when you've made all your breakpoints, you can set up or modify the options using the name to collect all the relevant breakpoints.

				::

				(lldb) breakpoint modify -c "self == nil" -C bt --auto-continue SelfNil

				That is better, but suffers from the problem that when new breakpoints get
				added, they don't pick up these modifications, and the options only exist in
				the context of actual breakpoints, so they are hard to store & reuse.

				A even better solution is to make a fully configured breakpoint name:

				::

				(lldb) breakpoint name configure -c "self == nil" -C bt --auto-continue SelfNil

				Then you can apply the name to your breakpoints, and they will all pick up
				these options. The connection from name to breakpoints remains live, so when
				you change the options configured on the name, all the breakpoints pick up
				those changes. This makes it easy to use configured names to experiment with
				your options.

				You can make breakpoint names in your .lldbinit file, so you can use them to
				can behaviors that you have found useful and reapply them in future sessions.

				You can also make a breakpoint name from the options set on a breakpoint:

				::

				(lldb) breakpoint name configure -B 1 SelfNil

				which makes it easy to copy behavior from one breakpoint to a set of others.

				Setting Watchpoints
				-------------------

				In addition to breakpoints, you can use help watchpoint to see all the commands
				for watchpoint manipulations. For instance, we might do the following to watch
				a variable called 'global' for write operation, but only stop if the condition
				'(global==5)' is true:

				::

				(lldb) watch set var global
				Watchpoint created: Watchpoint 1: addr = 0x100001018 size = 4 state = enabled type = w
				declare @ '/Volumes/data/lldb/svn/ToT/test/functionalities/watchpoint/watchpoint_commands/condition/main.cpp:12'
				(lldb) watch modify -c '(global==5)'
				(lldb) watch list
				Current watchpoints:
				Watchpoint 1: addr = 0x100001018 size = 4 state = enabled type = w
				declare @ '/Volumes/data/lldb/svn/ToT/test/functionalities/watchpoint/watchpoint_commands/condition/main.cpp:12'
				condition = '(global==5)'
				(lldb) c
				Process 15562 resuming
				(lldb) about to write to 'global'...
				Process 15562 stopped and was programmatically restarted.
				Process 15562 stopped and was programmatically restarted.
				Process 15562 stopped and was programmatically restarted.
				Process 15562 stopped and was programmatically restarted.
				Process 15562 stopped
				* thread #1: tid = 0x1c03, 0x0000000100000ef5 a.out`modify + 21 at main.cpp:16, stop reason = watchpoint 1
				frame #0: 0x0000000100000ef5 a.out`modify + 21 at main.cpp:16
				13
				14 static void modify(int32_t &var) {
				15 ++var;
				-> 16 }
				17
				18 int main(int argc, char** argv) {
				19 int local = 0;
				(lldb) bt
				* thread #1: tid = 0x1c03, 0x0000000100000ef5 a.out`modify + 21 at main.cpp:16, stop reason = watchpoint 1

				(lldb) frame var global
				(int32_t) global = 5
				(lldb) watch list -v
				Current watchpoints:
				Watchpoint 1: addr = 0x100001018 size = 4 state = enabled type = w
				declare @ '/Volumes/data/lldb/svn/ToT/test/functionalities/watchpoint/watchpoint_commands/condition/main.cpp:12'
				condition = '(global==5)'
				hw_index = 0 hit_count = 5 ignore_count = 0
				(lldb)

				Starting or Attaching to Your Program
				-------------------------------------

				To launch a program in lldb we use the "process launch" command or one of its built in aliases:

				::

				(lldb) process launch
				(lldb) run
				(lldb) r

				You can also attach to a process by process ID or process name. When attaching
				to a process by name, lldb also supports the "--waitfor" option which waits for
				the next process that has that name to show up, and attaches to it

				::

				(lldb) process attach --pid 123
				(lldb) process attach --name Sketch
				(lldb) process attach --name Sketch --waitfor

				After you launch or attach to a process, your process might stop somewhere:

				::

				(lldb) process attach -p 12345
				Process 46915 Attaching
				Process 46915 Stopped
				1 of 3 threads stopped with reasons:
				* thread #1: tid = 0x2c03, 0x00007fff85cac76a, where = libSystem.B.dylib`__getdirentries64 + 10, stop reason = signal = SIGSTOP, queue = com.apple.main-thread

				Note the line that says "1 of 3 threads stopped with reasons:" and the lines
				that follow it. In a multi-threaded environment it is very common for more than
				one thread to hit your breakpoint(s) before the kernel actually returns control
				to the debugger. In that case, you will see all the threads that stopped for
				some interesting reason listed in the stop message.

				Controlling Your Program
				------------------------

				After launching, we can continue until we hit our breakpoint. The primitive commands for process control all exist under the "thread" command:

				::

				(lldb) thread continue
				Resuming thread 0x2c03 in process 46915
				Resuming process 46915
				(lldb)

				At present you can only operate on one thread at a time, but the design will ultimately support saying "step over the function in Thread 1, and step into the function in Thread 2, and continue Thread 3" etc. When we eventually support keeping some threads running while others are stopped this will be particularly important. For convenience, however, all the stepping commands have easy aliases. So "thread continue" is just "c", etc.

				The other program stepping commands are pretty much the same as in gdb. You've got:

				::

				(lldb) thread step-in // The same as gdb's "step" or "s"
				(lldb) thread step-over // The same as gdb's "next" or "n"
				(lldb) thread step-out // The same as gdb's "finish" or "f"

				By default, lldb does defined aliases to all common gdb process control commands ("s", "step", "n", "next", "finish"). If we have missed any, please add them to your ~/.lldbinit file using the "command alias" command.

				lldb also supported the step by instruction versions:

				::


				(lldb) thread step-inst // The same as gdb's "stepi" / "si"
				(lldb) thread step-over-inst // The same as gdb's "nexti" / "ni"

				Finally, lldb has a run until line or frame exit stepping mode:

				::

				(lldb) thread until 100

				This command will run the thread in the current frame till it reaches line 100
				in this frame or stops if it leaves the current frame. This is a pretty close
				equivalent to gdb's "until" command.

				A process, by default, will share the lldb terminal with the inferior process.
				When in this mode, much like when debugging with gdb, when the process is
				running anything you type will go to the STDIN of the inferior process. To
				interrupt your inferior program, type CTRL+C.

				If you attach to a process, or launch a process with the "--no-stdin" option,
				the command interpreter is always available to enter commands. This might be a
				little disconcerting to gdb users when always have an (lldb) prompt. This
				allows you to set a breakpoint, etc without having to explicitly interrupt the
				program you are debugging:

				::

				(lldb) process continue
				(lldb) breakpoint set --name stop_here

				There are many commands that won't work while running, and the command
				interpreter should do a good job of letting you know when this is the case. If
				you find any instances where the command interpreter isn't doing its job,
				please file a bug. This way of operation will set us up for a future debugging
				mode called thread centric debugging. This mode will allow us to run all
				threads and only stop the threads that are at breakpoints or have exceptions or
				signals.

				The commands that currently work while running include interrupting the process
				to halt execution ("process interrupt"), getting the process status ("process
				status"), breakpoint setting and clearing (" breakpoint
				[set\|clear\|enable\|disable\|list] ..."), and memory reading and writing (" memory
				[read\|write] ...").

				The question of disabling stdio when running brings up a good opportunity to
				show how to set debugger properties in general. If you always want to run in
				the --no-stdin mode, you can set this as a generic process property using the
				lldb "settings" command, which is equivalent to gdb's "set" command. For
				instance, in this case you would say:

				::

				(lldb) settings set target.process.disable-stdio true

				Over time, gdb's "set command became a wilderness of disordered options, so
				that there were useful options that even experienced gdb users didn't know
				about because they were too hard to find. We tried to organize the settings
				hierarchically using the structure of the basic entities in the debugger. For
				the most part anywhere you can specify a setting on a generic entity (threads,
				for example) you can also apply the option to a particular instance, which can
				also be convenient at times. You can view the available settings with "settings
				list" and there is help on the settings command explaining how it works more
				generally.

				Examining Thread State
				----------------------

				Once you've stopped, lldb will choose a current thread, usually the one that
				stopped "for a reason", and a current frame in that thread (on stop this is
				always the bottom-most frame). Many the commands for inspecting state work on
				this current thread/frame.

				To inspect the current state of your process, you can start with the threads:

				::

				(lldb) thread list
				Process 46915 state is Stopped
				* thread #1: tid = 0x2c03, 0x00007fff85cac76a, where = libSystem.B.dylib`__getdirentries64 + 10, stop reason = signal = SIGSTOP, queue = com.apple.main-thread
				thread #2: tid = 0x2e03, 0x00007fff85cbb08a, where = libSystem.B.dylib`kevent + 10, queue = com.apple.libdispatch-manager
				thread #3: tid = 0x2f03, 0x00007fff85cbbeaa, where = libSystem.B.dylib`__workq_kernreturn + 10

				The ``*`` indicates that Thread 1 is the current thread. To get a backtrace for
				that thread, do:

				::

				(lldb) thread backtrace
				thread #1: tid = 0x2c03, stop reason = breakpoint 1.1, queue = com.apple.main-thread
				frame #0: 0x0000000100010d5b, where = Sketch`-[SKTGraphicView alignLeftEdges:] + 33 at /Projects/Sketch/SKTGraphicView.m:1405
				frame #1: 0x00007fff8602d152, where = AppKit`-[NSApplication sendAction:to:from:] + 95
				frame #2: 0x00007fff860516be, where = AppKit`-[NSMenuItem _corePerformAction] + 365
				frame #3: 0x00007fff86051428, where = AppKit`-[NSCarbonMenuImpl performActionWithHighlightingForItemAtIndex:] + 121
				frame #4: 0x00007fff860370c1, where = AppKit`-[NSMenu performKeyEquivalent:] + 272
				frame #5: 0x00007fff86035e69, where = AppKit`-[NSApplication _handleKeyEquivalent:] + 559
				frame #6: 0x00007fff85f06aa1, where = AppKit`-[NSApplication sendEvent:] + 3630
				frame #7: 0x00007fff85e9d922, where = AppKit`-[NSApplication run] + 474
				frame #8: 0x00007fff85e965f8, where = AppKit`NSApplicationMain + 364
				frame #9: 0x0000000100015ae3, where = Sketch`main + 33 at /Projects/Sketch/SKTMain.m:11
				frame #10: 0x0000000100000f20, where = Sketch`start + 52

				You can also provide a list of threads to backtrace, or the keyword "all" to see all threads:

				::

				(lldb) thread backtrace all

				You can select the current thread, which will be used by default in all the
				commands in the next section, with the "thread select" command:

				::

				(lldb) thread select 2

				where the thread index is just the one shown in the "thread list" listing.


				Examining Stack Frame State
				---------------------------

				The most convenient way to inspect a frame's arguments and local variables is
				to use the "frame variable" command:

				::

				(lldb) frame variable
				self = (SKTGraphicView *) 0x0000000100208b40
				_cmd = (struct objc_selector *) 0x000000010001bae1
				sender = (id) 0x00000001001264e0
				selection = (NSArray *) 0x00000001001264e0
				i = (NSUInteger) 0x00000001001264e0
				c = (NSUInteger) 0x00000001001253b0

				As you see above, if you don't specify any variable names, all arguments and
				locals will be shown. If you call "frame variable" passing in the names of a
				particular local(s), only those variables will be printed. For instance:

				::

				(lldb) frame variable self
				(SKTGraphicView *) self = 0x0000000100208b40

				You can also pass in a path to some subelement of one of the available locals,
				and that sub-element will be printed. For instance:

				::

				(lldb) frame variable self.isa
				(struct objc_class *) self.isa = 0x0000000100023730

				The "frame variable" command is not a full expression parser but it does
				support a few simple operations like ``&``, ``*``, ``->``, ``[]`` (no
				overloaded operators). The array brackets can be used on pointers to treat
				pointers as arrays:

				::

				(lldb) frame variable *self
				(SKTGraphicView *) self = 0x0000000100208b40
				(NSView) NSView = {
				(NSResponder) NSResponder = {
				...

				(lldb) frame variable &self
				(SKTGraphicView **) &self = 0x0000000100304ab

				(lldb) frame variable argv[0]
				(char const *) argv[0] = 0x00007fff5fbffaf8 "/Projects/Sketch/build/Debug/Sketch.app/Contents/MacOS/Sketch"

				The frame variable command will also perform "object printing" operations on
				variables (currently we only support ObjC printing, using the object's
				"description" method. Turn this on by passing the -o flag to frame variable:

				::

				(lldb) frame variable -o self (SKTGraphicView *) self = 0x0000000100208b40 <SKTGraphicView: 0x100208b40>

				Variable Formatting
				===================

				.. contents::
				:local:

				LLDB has a data formatters subsystem that allows users to define custom display
				options for their variables.

				Usually, when you type frame variable or run some expression LLDB will
				automatically choose the way to display your results on a per-type basis, as in
				the following example:

				::

				(lldb) frame variable
				(uint8_t) x = 'a'
				(intptr_t) y = 124752287

				However, in certain cases, you may want to associate a different style to the display for certain datatypes. To do so, you need to give hints to the debugger
				as to how variables should be displayed. The LLDB type command allows you to do
				just that.

				Using it you can change your visualization to look like this:

				::

				(lldb) frame variable
				(uint8_t) x = chr='a' dec=65 hex=0x41
				(intptr_t) y = 0x76f919f

				There are several features related to data visualization: formats, summaries,
				filters, synthetic children.

				To reflect this, the type command has five subcommands:

				::

				type format
				type summary
				type filter
				type synthetic
				type category

				These commands are meant to bind printing options to types. When variables are
				printed, LLDB will first check if custom printing options have been associated
				to a variable's type and, if so, use them instead of picking the default
				choices.

				Each of the commands (except ``type category``) has four subcommands available:

				- ``add``: associates a new printing option to one or more types
				- ``delete``: deletes an existing association
				- ``list``: provides a listing of all associations
				- ``clear``: deletes all associations

				Type Format
				-----------

				Type formats enable you to quickly override the default format for displaying
				primitive types (the usual basic C/C++/ObjC types: int, float, char, ...).

				If for some reason you want all int variables in your program to print out as
				hex, you can add a format to the int type.

				This is done by typing

				::

				(lldb) type format add --format hex int

				at the LLDB command line.

				The ``--format`` (which you can shorten to -f) option accepts a :doc:`format
				name<formatting>`. Then, you provide one or more types to which you want the
				new format applied.

				A frequent scenario is that your program has a typedef for a numeric type that
				you know represents something that must be printed in a certain way. Again, you
				can add a format just to that typedef by using type format add with the name
				alias.

				But things can quickly get hierarchical. Let's say you have a situation like
				the following:

				::

				typedef int A;
				typedef A B;
				typedef B C;
				typedef C D;

				and you want to show all A's as hex, all C's as byte arrays and leave the
				defaults untouched for other types (albeit its contrived look, the example is
				far from unrealistic in large software systems).

				If you simply type

				::

				(lldb) type format add -f hex A
				(lldb) type format add -f uint8_t[] C

				values of type B will be shown as hex and values of type D as byte arrays, as in:

				::

				(lldb) frame variable -T
				(A) a = 0x00000001
				(B) b = 0x00000002
				(C) c = {0x03 0x00 0x00 0x00}
				(D) d = {0x04 0x00 0x00 0x00}

				This is because by default LLDB cascades formats through typedef chains. In
				order to avoid that you can use the option -C no to prevent cascading, thus
				making the two commands required to achieve your goal:

				::

				(lldb) type format add -C no -f hex A
				(lldb) type format add -C no -f uint8_t[] C


				which provides the desired output:

				::

				(lldb) frame variable -T
				(A) a = 0x00000001
				(B) b = 2
				(C) c = {0x03 0x00 0x00 0x00}
				(D) d = 4

				Two additional options that you will want to look at are --skip-pointers (-p)
				and --skip-references (-r). These two options prevent LLDB from applying a
				format for type T to values of type T* and T& respectively.

				::

				(lldb) type format add -f float32[] int
				(lldb) frame variable pointer *pointer -T
				(int *) pointer = {1.46991e-39 1.4013e-45}
				(int) *pointer = {1.53302e-42}
				(lldb) type format add -f float32[] int -p
				(lldb) frame variable pointer *pointer -T
				(int *) pointer = 0x0000000100100180
				(int) *pointer = {1.53302e-42}

				While they can be applied to pointers and references, formats will make no
				attempt to dereference the pointer and extract the value before applying the
				format, which means you are effectively formatting the address stored in the
				pointer rather than the pointee value. For this reason, you may want to use the
				-p option when defining formats.

				If you need to delete a custom format simply type type format delete followed
				by the name of the type to which the format applies.Even if you defined the
				same format for multiple types on the same command, type format delete will
				only remove the format for the type name passed as argument.

				To delete ALL formats, use ``type format clear``. To see all the formats
				defined, use type format list.

				If all you need to do, however, is display one variable in a custom format,
				while leaving the others of the same type untouched, you can simply type:

				::

				(lldb) frame variable counter -f hex

				This has the effect of displaying the value of counter as an hexadecimal
				number, and will keep showing it this way until you either pick a different
				format or till you let your program run again.

				Finally, this is a list of formatting options available out of which you can
				pick:

				+-----------------------------------------------+------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
				\| Format name \| Abbreviation \| Description \|
				+-----------------------------------------------+------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
				\| ``default`` \| \| the default LLDB algorithm is used to pick a format \|

				Type Summary
				------------

				Type formats work by showing a different kind of display for the value of a
				variable. However, they only work for basic types. When you want to display a
				class or struct in a custom format, you cannot do that using formats.

				A different feature, type summaries, works by extracting information from
				classes, structures, ... (aggregate types) and arranging it in a user-defined
				format, as in the following example:

				before adding a summary...

				::

				(lldb) frame variable -T one
				(i_am_cool) one = {
				(int) x = 3
				(float) y = 3.14159
				(char) z = 'E'
				}

				after adding a summary...

				::

				(lldb) frame variable one
				(i_am_cool) one = int = 3, float = 3.14159, char = 69

				There are two ways to use type summaries: the first one is to bind a summary
				string to the type; the second is to write a Python script that returns the
				string to be used as summary. Both options are enabled by the type summary add
				command.

				The command to obtain the output shown in the example is:

				::

				(lldb) type summary add --summary-string "int = ${var.x}, float = ${var.y}, char = ${var.z%u}" i_am_cool

				Initially, we will focus on summary strings, and then describe the Python
				binding mechanism.

				Summary Strings
				---------------

				Summary strings are written using a simple control language, exemplified by the
				snippet above. A summary string contains a sequence of tokens that are
				processed by LLDB to generate the summary.

				Summary strings can contain plain text, control characters and special
				variables that have access to information about the current object and the
				overall program state.

				Plain text is any sequence of characters that doesn't contain a ``{``, ``}``, ``$``,
				or ``\`` character, which are the syntax control characters.

				The special variables are found in between a "${" prefix, and end with a "}"
				suffix. Variables can be a simple name or they can refer to complex objects
				that have subitems themselves. In other words, a variable looks like
				``${object}`` or ``${object.child.otherchild}``. A variable can also be
				prefixed or suffixed with other symbols meant to change the way its value is
				handled. An example is ``${*var.int_pointer[0-3]}``.

				Basically, the syntax is the same one described Frame and Thread Formatting
				plus additional symbols specific for summary strings. The main of them is
				${var, which is used refer to the variable that a summary is being created for.

				The simplest thing you can do is grab a member variable of a class or structure
				by typing its expression path. In the previous example, the expression path for
				the field float y is simply .y. Thus, to ask the summary string to display y
				you would type ${var.y}.

				If you have code like the following:

				::

				struct A {
				int x;
				int y;
				};
				struct B {
				A x;
				A y;
				int *z;
				};

				the expression path for the y member of the x member of an object of type B
				would be .x.y and you would type ``${var.x.y}`` to display it in a summary
				string for type B.

				By default, a summary defined for type T, also works for types T* and T& (you
				can disable this behavior if desired). For this reason, expression paths do not
				differentiate between . and ->, and the above expression path .x.y would be
				just as good if you were displaying a B*, or even if the actual definition of B
				were:

				::

				struct B {
				A *x;
				A y;
				int *z;
				};

				This is unlike the behavior of frame variable which, on the contrary, will
				enforce the distinction. As hinted above, the rationale for this choice is that
				waiving this distinction enables you to write a summary string once for type T
				and use it for both T and T* instances. As a summary string is mostly about
				extracting nested members' information, a pointer to an object is just as good
				as the object itself for the purpose.

				If you need to access the value of the integer pointed to by B::z, you cannot
				simply say ${var.z} because that symbol refers to the pointer z. In order to
				dereference it and get the pointed value, you should say ``${*var.z}``. The
				``${*var`` tells LLDB to get the object that the expression paths leads to, and
				then dereference it. In this example is it equivalent to ``*(bObject.z)`` in
				C/C++ syntax. Because . and -> operators can both be used, there is no need to
				have dereferences in the middle of an expression path (e.g. you do not need to
				type ``${(var.x).x}``) to read A::x as contained in ``(B::x)``. To achieve
				that effect you can simply write ``${var.x->x}``, or even ``${var.x.x}``. The
				``*`` operator only binds to the result of the whole expression path, rather
				than piecewise, and there is no way to use parentheses to change that behavior.

				Of course, a summary string can contain more than one ${var specifier, and can
				use ``${var`` and ``${*var`` specifiers together.

				Formatting Summary Elements
				---------------------------

				An expression path can include formatting codes. Much like the type formats
				discussed previously, you can also customize the way variables are displayed in
				summary strings, regardless of the format they have applied to their types. To
				do that, you can use %format inside an expression path, as in ${var.x->x%u},
				which would display the value of x as an unsigned integer.

				You can also use some other special format markers, not available for formats
				themselves, but which carry a special meaning when used in this context:

				+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
				\| Symbol \| Description \|
				+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
				\| ``Symbol`` \| ``Description`` \|
				+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
				\| ``%S`` \| Use this object's summary (the default for aggregate types) \|
				+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
				\| ``%V`` \| Use this object's value (the default for non-aggregate types) \|
				+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
				\| ``%@`` \| Use a language-runtime specific description (for C++ this does nothing, \|
				\| \| for Objective-C it calls the NSPrintForDebugger API) \|
				+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
				\| ``%L`` \| Use this object's location (memory address, register name, ...) \|
				+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
				\| ``%#`` \| Use the count of the children of this object \|
				+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
				\| ``%T`` \| Use this object's datatype name \|
				+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
				\| ``%N`` \| Print the variable's basename \|
				+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
				\| ``%>`` \| Print the expression path for this item \|
				+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+

				Starting with SVN r228207, you can also specify
				``${script.var:pythonFuncName}``. Previously, back to r220821, this was
				specified with a different syntax: ``${var.script:pythonFuncName}``.

				It is expected that the function name you use specifies a function whose
				signature is the same as a Python summary function. The return string from the
				function will be placed verbatim in the output.

				You cannot use element access, or formatting symbols, in combination with this
				syntax. For example the following:

				::

				${script.var.element[0]:myFunctionName%@}

				is not valid and will cause the summary to fail to evaluate.


				Element Inlining
				----------------

				Option --inline-children (-c) to type summary add tells LLDB not to look for a summary string, but instead to just print a listing of all the object's children on one line.

				As an example, given a type pair:

				::

				(lldb) frame variable --show-types a_pair
				(pair) a_pair = {
				(int) first = 1;
				(int) second = 2;
				}

				If one types the following commands:

				::

				(lldb) type summary add --inline-children pair

				the output becomes:

				::

				(lldb) frame variable a_pair
				(pair) a_pair = (first=1, second=2)


				Of course, one can obtain the same effect by typing

				::

				(lldb) type summary add pair --summary-string "(first=${var.first}, second=${var.second})"

				While the final result is the same, using --inline-children can often save
				time. If one does not need to see the names of the variables, but just their
				values, the option --omit-names (-O, uppercase letter o), can be combined with
				--inline-children to obtain:

				::

				(lldb) frame variable a_pair
				(pair) a_pair = (1, 2)

				which is of course the same as typing

				::

				(lldb) type summary add pair --summary-string "(${var.first}, ${var.second})"

				Bitfields And Array Syntax
				--------------------------

				Sometimes, a basic type's value actually represents several different values
				packed together in a bitfield.

				With the classical view, there is no way to look at them. Hexadecimal display
				can help, but if the bits actually span nibble boundaries, the help is limited.

				Binary view would show it all without ambiguity, but is often too detailed and
				hard to read for real-life scenarios.

				To cope with the issue, LLDB supports native bitfield formatting in summary
				strings. If your expression paths leads to a so-called scalar type (the usual
				int, float, char, double, short, long, long long, double, long double and
				unsigned variants), you can ask LLDB to only grab some bits out of the value
				and display them in any format you like. If you only need one bit you can use
				the [n], just like indexing an array. To extract multiple bits, you can use a
				slice-like syntax: [n-m], e.g.

				::

				(lldb) frame variable float_point
				(float) float_point = -3.14159

				::

				(lldb) type summary add --summary-string "Sign: ${var[31]%B} Exponent: ${var[30-23]%x} Mantissa: ${var[0-22]%u}" float
				(lldb) frame variable float_point
				(float) float_point = -3.14159 Sign: true Exponent: 0x00000080 Mantissa: 4788184

				In this example, LLDB shows the internal representation of a float variable by
				extracting bitfields out of a float object.

				When typing a range, the extremes n and m are always included, and the order of
				the indices is irrelevant.

				LLDB also allows to use a similar syntax to display array members inside a summary string. For instance, you may want to display all arrays of a given type using a more compact notation than the default, and then just delve into individual array members that prove interesting to your debugging task. You can tell LLDB to format arrays in special ways, possibly independent of the way the array members' datatype is formatted.
				e.g.

				::

				(lldb) frame variable sarray
				(Simple [3]) sarray = {
				[0] = {
				x = 1
				y = 2
				z = '\x03'
				}
				[1] = {
				x = 4
				y = 5
				z = '\x06'
				}
				[2] = {
				x = 7
				y = 8
				z = '\t'
				}
				}

				(lldb) type summary add --summary-string "${var[].x}" "Simple [3]"

				(lldb) frame variable sarray
				(Simple [3]) sarray = [1,4,7]

				The [] symbol amounts to: if var is an array and I know its size, apply this summary string to every element of the array. Here, we are asking LLDB to display .x for every element of the array, and in fact this is what happens. If you find some of those integers anomalous, you can then inspect that one item in greater detail, without the array format getting in the way:

				::

				(lldb) frame variable sarray[1]
				(Simple) sarray[1] = {
				x = 4
				y = 5
				z = '\x06'
				}

				You can also ask LLDB to only print a subset of the array range by using the
				same syntax used to extract bit for bitfields:

				::

				(lldb) type summary add --summary-string "${var[1-2].x}" "Simple [3]"

				(lldb) frame variable sarray
				(Simple [3]) sarray = [4,7]

				If you are dealing with a pointer that you know is an array, you can use this
				syntax to display the elements contained in the pointed array instead of just
				the pointer value. However, because pointers have no notion of their size, the
				empty brackets [] operator does not work, and you must explicitly provide
				higher and lower bounds.

				In general, LLDB needs the square brackets operator [] in order to handle
				arrays and pointers correctly, and for pointers it also needs a range. However,
				a few special cases are defined to make your life easier:

				you can print a 0-terminated string (C-string) using the %s format, omitting
				square brackets, as in:

				::

				(lldb) type summary add --summary-string "${var%s}" "char *"

				This syntax works for char* as well as for char[] because LLDB can rely on the
				final \0 terminator to know when the string has ended.

				LLDB has default summary strings for char* and char[] that use this special
				case. On debugger startup, the following are defined automatically:

				::

				(lldb) type summary add --summary-string "${var%s}" "char *"
				(lldb) type summary add --summary-string "${var%s}" -x "char \[[0-9]+]"

				any of the array formats (int8_t[], float32{}, ...), and the y, Y and a formats
				work to print an array of a non-aggregate type, even if square brackets are
				omitted.

				::

				(lldb) type summary add --summary-string "${var%int32_t[]}" "int [10]"

				This feature, however, is not enabled for pointers because there is no way for
				LLDB to detect the end of the pointed data.

				This also does not work for other formats (e.g. boolean), and you must specify
				the square brackets operator to get the expected output.

				Python Scripting
				----------------

				Most of the times, summary strings prove good enough for the job of summarizing
				the contents of a variable. However, as soon as you need to do more than
				picking some values and rearranging them for display, summary strings stop
				being an effective tool. This is because summary strings lack the power to
				actually perform any kind of computation on the value of variables.

				To solve this issue, you can bind some Python scripting code as a summary for
				your datatype, and that script has the ability to both extract children
				variables as the summary strings do and to perform active computation on the
				extracted values. As a small example, let's say we have a Rectangle class:

				::


				class Rectangle
				{
				private:
				int height;
				int width;
				public:
				Rectangle() : height(3), width(5) {}
				Rectangle(int H) : height(H), width(H*2-1) {}
				Rectangle(int H, int W) : height(H), width(W) {}
				int GetHeight() { return height; }
				int GetWidth() { return width; }
				};

				Summary strings are effective to reduce the screen real estate used by the
				default viewing mode, but are not effective if we want to display the area and
				perimeter of Rectangle objects

				To obtain this, we can simply attach a small Python script to the Rectangle
				class, as shown in this example:

				::

				(lldb) type summary add -P Rectangle
				Enter your Python command(s). Type 'DONE' to end.
				def function (valobj,internal_dict):
				height_val = valobj.GetChildMemberWithName('height')
				width_val = valobj.GetChildMemberWithName('width')
				height = height_val.GetValueAsUnsigned(0)
				width = width_val.GetValueAsUnsigned(0)
				area = height*width
				perimeter = 2*(height + width)
				return 'Area: ' + str(area) + ', Perimeter: ' + str(perimeter)
				DONE
				(lldb) frame variable
				(Rectangle) r1 = Area: 20, Perimeter: 18
				(Rectangle) r2 = Area: 72, Perimeter: 36
				(Rectangle) r3 = Area: 16, Perimeter: 16

				In order to write effective summary scripts, you need to know the LLDB public
				API, which is the way Python code can access the LLDB object model. For further
				details on the API you should look at the LLDB API reference documentation.


				As a brief introduction, your script is encapsulated into a function that is
				passed two parameters: ``valobj`` and ``internal_dict``.

				``internal_dict`` is an internal support parameter used by LLDB and you should
				not touch it.

				``valobj`` is the object encapsulating the actual variable being displayed, and
				its type is SBValue. Out of the many possible operations on an SBValue, the
				basic one is retrieve the children objects it contains (essentially, the fields
				of the object wrapped by it), by calling ``GetChildMemberWithName()``, passing
				it the child's name as a string.

				If the variable has a value, you can ask for it, and return it as a string
				using ``GetValue()``, or as a signed/unsigned number using
				``GetValueAsSigned()``, ``GetValueAsUnsigned()``. It is also possible to
				retrieve an SBData object by calling ``GetData()`` and then read the object's
				contents out of the SBData.

				If you need to delve into several levels of hierarchy, as you can do with
				summary strings, you can use the method ``GetValueForExpressionPath()``,
				passing it an expression path just like those you could use for summary strings
				(one of the differences is that dereferencing a pointer does not occur by
				prefixing the path with a ``*```, but by calling the ``Dereference()`` method
				on the returned SBValue). If you need to access array slices, you cannot do
				that (yet) via this method call, and you must use ``GetChildAtIndex()``
				querying it for the array items one by one. Also, handling custom formats is
				something you have to deal with on your own.

				Other than interactively typing a Python script there are two other ways for
				you to input a Python script as a summary:

				- using the --python-script option to type summary add and typing the script
				code as an option argument; as in:

				::

				(lldb) type summary add --python-script "height = valobj.GetChildMemberWithName('height').GetValueAsUnsigned(0);width = valobj.GetChildMemberWithName('width').GetValueAsUnsigned(0); return 'Area: %d' % (height*width)" Rectangle


				- using the --python-function (-F) option to type summary add and giving the
				name of a Python function with the correct prototype. Most probably, you will
				define (or have already defined) the function in the interactive interpreter,
				or somehow loaded it from a file, using the command script import command.
				LLDB will emit a warning if it is unable to find the function you passed, but
				will still register the binding.

				Starting in SVN r222593, Python summary formatters can optionally define a
				third argument: options

				This is an object of type ``lldb.SBTypeSummaryOptions`` that can be passed into
				the formatter, allowing for a few customizations of the result. The decision to
				adopt or not this third argument - and the meaning of options thereof - is
				within the individual formatters' writer.

				Regular Expression Typenames
				----------------------------

				As you noticed, in order to associate the custom summary string to the array
				types, one must give the array size as part of the typename. This can long
				become tiresome when using arrays of different sizes, Simple [3], Simple [9],
				Simple [12], ...

				If you use the -x option, type names are treated as regular expressions instead
				of type names. This would let you rephrase the above example for arrays of type
				Simple [3] as:

				::
				(lldb) type summary add --summary-string "${var[].x}" -x "Simple \[[0-9]+\]"
				(lldb) frame variable
				(Simple [3]) sarray = [1,4,7]
				(Simple [2]) sother = [3,6]

				The above scenario works for Simple [3] as well as for any other array of
				Simple objects.

				While this feature is mostly useful for arrays, you could also use regular
				expressions to catch other type sets grouped by name. However, as regular
				expression matching is slower than normal name matching, LLDB will first try to
				match by name in any way it can, and only when this fails, will it resort to
				regular expression matching.

				One of the ways LLDB uses this feature internally, is to match the names of STL
				container classes, regardless of the template arguments provided. The details
				for this are found at FormatManager.cpp

				The regular expression language used by LLDB is the POSIX extended language, as
				defined by the Single UNIX Specification, of which Mac OS X is a compliant
				implementation.

				Names Summaries
				---------------

				For a given type, there may be different meaningful summary representations.
				However, currently, only one summary can be associated to a type at each
				moment. If you need to temporarily override the association for a variable,
				without changing the summary string for to its type, you can use named
				summaries.

				Named summaries work by attaching a name to a summary when creating it. Then,
				when there is a need to attach the summary to a variable, the frame variable
				command, supports a --summary option that tells LLDB to use the named summary
				given instead of the default one.

				::
				(lldb) type summary add --summary-string "x=${var.integer}" --name NamedSummary
				(lldb) frame variable one
				(i_am_cool) one = int = 3, float = 3.14159, char = 69
				(lldb) frame variable one --summary NamedSummary
				(i_am_cool) one = x=3

				When defining a named summary, binding it to one or more types becomes
				optional. Even if you bind the named summary to a type, and later change the
				summary string for that type, the named summary will not be changed by that.
				You can delete named summaries by using the type summary delete command, as if
				the summary name was the datatype that the summary is applied to

				A summary attached to a variable using the --summary option, has the same
				semantics that a custom format attached using the -f option has: it stays
				attached till you attach a new one, or till you let your program run again.

				Synthetic Children
				------------------

				Summaries work well when one is able to navigate through an expression path. In
				order for LLDB to do so, appropriate debugging information must be available.

				Some types are opaque, i.e. no knowledge of their internals is provided. When
				that's the case, expression paths do not work correctly.

				In other cases, the internals are available to use in expression paths, but
				they do not provide a user-friendly representation of the object's value.

				For instance, consider an STL vector, as implemented by the GNU C++ Library:

				::

				(lldb) frame variable numbers -T
				(std::vector<int>) numbers = {
				(std::_Vector_base<int, std::allocator<int> >) std::_Vector_base<int, std::allocator<int> > = {
				(std::_Vector_base<int, std::allocator&tl;int> >::_Vector_impl) _M_impl = {
				(int *) _M_start = 0x00000001001008a0
				(int *) _M_finish = 0x00000001001008a8
				(int *) _M_end_of_storage = 0x00000001001008a8
				}
				}
				}

				Here, you can see how the type is implemented, and you can write a summary for
				that implementation but that is not going to help you infer what items are
				actually stored in the vector.

				What you would like to see is probably something like:

				::

				(lldb) frame variable numbers -T
				(std::vector<int>) numbers = {
				(int) [0] = 1
				(int) [1] = 12
				(int) [2] = 123
				(int) [3] = 1234
				}

				Synthetic children are a way to get that result.

				The feature is based upon the idea of providing a new set of children for a
				variable that replaces the ones available by default through the debug
				information. In the example, we can use synthetic children to provide the
				vector items as children for the std::vector object.

				In order to create synthetic children, you need to provide a Python class that
				adheres to a given interface (the word is italicized because Python has no
				explicit notion of interface, by that word we mean a given set of methods must
				be implemented by the Python class):

				::

				class SyntheticChildrenProvider:
				def __init__(self, valobj, internal_dict):
				this call should initialize the Python object using valobj as the variable to provide synthetic children for
				def num_children(self):
				this call should return the number of children that you want your object to have
				def get_child_index(self,name):
				this call should return the index of the synthetic child whose name is given as argument
				def get_child_at_index(self,index):
				this call should return a new LLDB SBValue object representing the child at the index given as argument
				def update(self):
				this call should be used to update the internal state of this Python object whenever the state of the variables in LLDB changes.[1]
				def has_children(self):
				this call should return True if this object might have children, and False if this object can be guaranteed not to have children.[2]
				def get_value(self):
				this call can return an SBValue to be presented as the value of the synthetic value under consideration.[3]

				[1] This method is optional. Also, it may optionally choose to return a value
				(starting with SVN rev153061/LLDB-134). If it returns a value, and that value
				is True, LLDB will be allowed to cache the children and the children count it
				previously obtained, and will not return to the provider class to ask. If
				nothing, None, or anything other than True is returned, LLDB will discard the
				cached information and ask. Regardless, whenever necessary LLDB will call
				update.

				[2] This method is optional (starting with SVN rev166495/LLDB-175). While
				implementing it in terms of num_children is acceptable, implementors are
				encouraged to look for optimized coding alternatives whenever reasonable.

				[3] This method is optional (starting with SVN revision 219330). The SBValue
				you return here will most likely be a numeric type (int, float, ...) as its
				value bytes will be used as-if they were the value of the root SBValue proper.
				As a shortcut for this, you can inherit from lldb.SBSyntheticValueProvider, and
				just define get_value as other methods are defaulted in the superclass as
				returning default no-children responses.

				If a synthetic child provider supplies a special child named $$dereference$$
				then it will be used when evaluating opertaor* and operator-> in the frame
				variable command and related SB API functions.

				For examples of how synthetic children are created, you are encouraged to look
				at examples/synthetic in the LLDB trunk. Please, be aware that the code in
				those files (except bitfield/) is legacy code and is not maintained. You may
				especially want to begin looking at this example to get a feel for this
				feature, as it is a very easy and well commented example.

				The design pattern consistently used in synthetic providers shipping with LLDB
				is to use the __init__ to store the SBValue instance as a part of self. The
				update function is then used to perform the actual initialization. Once a
				synthetic children provider is written, one must load it into LLDB before it
				can be used. Currently, one can use the LLDB script command to type Python code
				interactively, or use the command script import fileName command to load Python
				code from a Python module (ordinary rules apply to importing modules this way).
				A third option is to type the code for the provider class interactively while
				adding it.

				For example, let's pretend we have a class Foo for which a synthetic children
				provider class Foo_Provider is available, in a Python module contained in file
				~/Foo_Tools.py. The following interaction sets Foo_Provider as a synthetic
				children provider in LLDB:

				::

				(lldb) command script import ~/Foo_Tools.py
				(lldb) type synthetic add Foo --python-class Foo_Tools.Foo_Provider
				(lldb) frame variable a_foo
				(Foo) a_foo = {
				x = 1
				y = "Hello world"
				}

				LLDB has synthetic children providers for a core subset of STL classes, both in
				the version provided by libstdcpp and by libcxx, as well as for several
				Foundation classes.

				Synthetic children extend summary strings by enabling a new special variable:
				``${svar``.

				This symbol tells LLDB to refer expression paths to the synthetic children
				instead of the real ones. For instance,

				::

				(lldb) type summary add --expand -x "std::vector<" --summary-string "${svar%#} items"
				(lldb) frame variable numbers
				(std::vector<int>) numbers = 4 items {
				(int) [0] = 1
				(int) [1] = 12
				(int) [2] = 123
				(int) [3] = 1234
				}

				In some cases, if LLDB is unable to use the real object to get a child
				specified in an expression path, it will automatically refer to the synthetic
				children. While in summaries it is best to always use ${svar to make your
				intentions clearer, interactive debugging can benefit from this behavior, as
				in:

				::

				(lldb) frame variable numbers[0] numbers[1]
				(int) numbers[0] = 1
				(int) numbers[1] = 12

				Unlike many other visualization features, however, the access to synthetic
				children only works when using frame variable, and is not supported in
				expression:

				::

				(lldb) expression numbers[0]
				Error [IRForTarget]: Call to a function '_ZNSt33vector<int, std::allocator<int> >ixEm' that is not present in the target
				error: Couldn't convert the expression to DWARF

				The reason for this is that classes might have an overloaded operator [], or
				other special provisions and the expression command chooses to ignore synthetic
				children in the interest of equivalency with code you asked to have compiled
				from source.

				Filters
				-------

				Filters are a solution to the display of complex classes. At times, classes
				have many member variables but not all of these are actually necessary for the
				user to see.

				A filter will solve this issue by only letting the user see those member
				variables he cares about. Of course, the equivalent of a filter can be
				implemented easily using synthetic children, but a filter lets you get the job
				done without having to write Python code.

				For instance, if your class Foobar has member variables named A thru Z, but you
				only need to see the ones named B, H and Q, you can define a filter:

				::

				(lldb) type filter add Foobar --child B --child H --child Q
				(lldb) frame variable a_foobar
				(Foobar) a_foobar = {
				(int) B = 1
				(char) H = 'H'
				(std::string) Q = "Hello world"
				}

				Objective-C Dynamic Type Discovery
				----------------------------------

				When doing Objective-C development, you may notice that some of your variables
				come out as of type id (for instance, items extracted from NSArray). By
				default, LLDB will not show you the real type of the object. it can actually
				dynamically discover the type of an Objective-C variable, much like the runtime
				itself does when invoking a selector. In order to be shown the result of that
				discovery that, however, a special option to frame variable or expression is
				required: ``--dynamic-type``.


				``--dynamic-type`` can have one of three values:

				- ``no-dynamic-values``: the default, prevents dynamic type discovery
				- ``no-run-target``: enables dynamic type discovery as long as running code on
				the target is not required
				- ``run-target``: enables code execution on the target in order to perform
				dynamic type discovery

				If you specify a value of either no-run-target or run-target, LLDB will detect
				the dynamic type of your variables and show the appropriate formatters for
				them. As an example:

				::

				(lldb) expr @"Hello"
				(NSString *) $0 = 0x00000001048000b0 @"Hello"
				(lldb) expr -d no-run @"Hello"
				(__NSCFString *) $1 = 0x00000001048000b0 @"Hello"

				Because LLDB uses a detection algorithm that does not need to invoke any
				functions on the target process, no-run-target is enough for this to work.

				As a side note, the summary for NSString shown in the example is built right
				into LLDB. It was initially implemented through Python (the code is still
				available for reference at CFString.py). However, this is out of sync with the
				current implementation of the NSString formatter (which is a C++ function
				compiled into the LLDB core).

				Categories
				----------

				Categories are a way to group related formatters. For instance, LLDB itself
				groups the formatters for the libstdc++ types in a category named
				gnu-libstdc++. Basically, categories act like containers in which to store
				formatters for a same library or OS release.

				By default, several categories are created in LLDB:

				- default: this is the category where every formatter ends up, unless another category is specified
				- objc: formatters for basic and common Objective-C types that do not specifically depend on Mac OS X
				- gnu-libstdc++: formatters for std::string, std::vector, std::list and std::map as implemented by libstdcpp
				- libcxx: formatters for std::string, std::vector, std::list and std::map as implemented by libcxx
				- system: truly basic types for which a formatter is required
				- AppKit: Cocoa classes
				- CoreFoundation: CF classes
				- CoreGraphics: CG classes
				- CoreServices: CS classes
				- VectorTypes: compact display for several vector types

				If you want to use a custom category for your formatters, all the type ... add
				provide a --category (-w) option, that names the category to add the formatter
				to. To delete the formatter, you then have to specify the correct category.

				Categories can be in one of two states: enabled and disabled. A category is
				initially disabled, and can be enabled using the type category enable command.
				To disable an enabled category, the command to use is type category disable.

				The order in which categories are enabled or disabled is significant, in that
				LLDB uses that order when looking for formatters. Therefore, when you enable a
				category, it becomes the second one to be searched (after default, which always
				stays on top of the list). The default categories are enabled in such a way
				that the search order is:

				- default
				- objc
				- CoreFoundation
				- AppKit
				- CoreServices
				- CoreGraphics
				- gnu-libstdc++
				- libcxx
				- VectorTypes
				- system

				As said, gnu-libstdc++ and libcxx contain formatters for C++ STL data types.
				system contains formatters for char* and char[], which reflect the behavior of
				older versions of LLDB which had built-in formatters for these types. Because
				now these are formatters, you can even replace them with your own if so you
				wish.

				There is no special command to create a category. When you place a formatter in
				a category, if that category does not exist, it is automatically created. For
				instance,

				::

				(lldb) type summary add Foobar --summary-string "a foobar" --category newcategory

				automatically creates a (disabled) category named newcategory.

				Another way to create a new (empty) category, is to enable it, as in:

				::

				(lldb) type category enable newcategory

				However, in this case LLDB warns you that enabling an empty category has no
				effect. If you add formatters to the category after enabling it, they will be
				honored. But an empty category per se does not change the way any type is
				displayed. The reason the debugger warns you is that enabling an empty category
				might be a typo, and you effectively wanted to enable a similarly-named but
				not-empty category.

				Finding Formatters 101
				----------------------

				Searching for a formatter (including formats, starting in SVN rev r192217)
				given a variable goes through a rather intricate set of rules. Namely, what
				happens is that LLDB starts looking in each enabled category, according to the
				order in which they were enabled (latest enabled first). In each category, LLDB
				does the following:

				- If there is a formatter for the type of the variable, use it
				- If this object is a pointer, and there is a formatter for the pointee type
				that does not skip pointers, use it
				- If this object is a reference, and there is a formatter for the referred type
				that does not skip references, use it
				- If this object is an Objective-C class and dynamic types are enabled, look
				for a formatter for the dynamic type of the object. If dynamic types are
				disabled, or the search failed, look for a formatter for the declared type of
				the object
				- If this object's type is a typedef, go through typedef hierarchy (LLDB might
				not be able to do this if the compiler has not emitted enough information. If
				the required information to traverse typedef hierarchies is missing, type
				cascading will not work. The clang compiler, part of the LLVM project, emits
				the correct debugging information for LLDB to cascade). If at any level of
				the hierarchy there is a valid formatter that can cascade, use it.
				- If everything has failed, repeat the above search, looking for regular
				expressions instead of exact matches

				If any of those attempts returned a valid formatter to be used, that one is
				used, and the search is terminated (without going to look in other categories).
				If nothing was found in the current category, the next enabled category is
				scanned according to the same algorithm. If there are no more enabled
				categories, the search has failed.

				Warning: previous versions of LLDB defined cascading to mean not only going
				through typedef chains, but also through inheritance chains. This feature has
				been removed since it significantly degrades performance. You need to set up
				your formatters for every type in inheritance chains to which you want the
				formatter to apply.
