I am so so happy that LLDB is coming along. I've only been seriously using Xcode with GDB for three or four months now, but man what a POS compared with the stuff I'm used to. I really really hated programming on Windows but VS's debugger was miles ahead of the GDB/Xcode combo. I'm sure everyone at Apple is thrilled to be getting a new debugger, as they've been using GDB much more than I have, and it must really hurt to have Microsoft busting your balls on technology. I mean, come on, Microsoft couldn't punch their way out of a paper bag when it come to inventing cool technology.
LLVM and now LLDB, however, very cool stuff. As an old-time Mac developer from back in the days when object-oriented meant MacApp, it brings tears to my eyes. - Curtis On Jul 6, 2010, at 11:28 PM, Reid Kleckner wrote: > I'm assuming you're looking at this document? > http://llvm.org/docs/DebuggingJITedCode.html > > That document should probably be updated to say you need GDB 7.0 or > newer, since that's when the feature was released.
