Currently the walking and the copying are intertwined, so I can't say for sure. My idea was to give this a try and see where that got us and make more invasive changes (like what you proposed) if needed. But since you sound pretty convinced that we'll need it anyway I will extend the patch. > I think it would be better if we moved the vfs map construction into the > other process too.

Yes, that would be similar to how we immediately flush GDB remote packets to disk. It would require adding some "immediate" mode to the FileCollector and an API to convert between the formats. I think the new format could be just host paths separated by newlines. ================ Comment at: lldb/tools/driver/Options.td:235 HelpText<"Tells the debugger to replay a reproducer from <filename>.">; +def reproducer_finalize: Separate<["--", "-"], "reproducer-finalize">, + MetaVarName<"<filename>">, ---------------- labath wrote: > Should this be a hidden argument?
