Yes, all shared libraries are being read from memory.
Platforms do have the ability to set an sysroot:
(lldb) platform select --sysroot \path\to\macosx\sysroot remote-macosx
If you make a local copy of the shared libraries from your remote Mac OS (copy
/usr/bin/* /usr/lib/* /System/Library/Frameworks/*
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/* and what ever else you neeed) into a local
directory like "\path\to\macosx\sysroot", then you wil avoid this issue. So
when we go asking for "/usr/lib/dyld" we will look in
"\path\to\macosx\sysroot\usr\lib\dyld". This is the real reason we want to have
a platform connection: so we can download SDK files and cache them locally. For
now we will need to just let it copy stuff.
The other way to do this, is ask users to mount the remote MacOSX root
partition so that it can be accessed locally. If you enable windows sharing on
your remote Mac, you should be able to connect to it, and then just give that
path for the "--sysroot". We don't expose the platforms as objects through the
public API at the moment, but you can easily just execute the command:
m_debugger.HandleCommand ("platform select --sysroot \path\to\macosx\sysroot
remote-macosx");
m_debugger.CreateTarget(....)
Does that make sense?
