Yes it can, but work is definitely needed. Linux to OSX will work
because we have the lldb modified "debugserver" binary which can
debug macosx apps. There is no linux equivalent because the current
"debugserver" binary was initially made for the Mac only and it isn't
well orgnanized to be used as a starting point for porting to other
systems.
What I would like see happen, is in our Host layer (in
"lldb/source/Host" and "lldb/include/lldb/Host"), we should have a
native debug API that is very closely based on
"lldb/tools/debugserver/source/DNB.h" and name it something like
"lldb_private::NativeDebug". Once we do this, we can then support
native debugging on every platform by making a new Process plugin in
"lldb/source/Plugins/Process" called "Host" which would link against
the new API in the lldb_private::NativeDebug. We then also have
classes which implement remote GDB debugging inside lldb:
lldb/source/Plugins/Process/gdb-remote/GDBRemoteCommunication.cpp
lldb/source/Plugins/Process/gdb-remote/GDBRemoteCommunicationClient.cpp
Are there any technical limitations that keep these from working on
windows (the client side of things, not the host)? (I tried to import it
but there are a lot of missing include files which i presume is just
because nobody ever did this and it's just missing defines).
