You can register a listener, but that is more “low-level”, i.e. it will let you know when the process stopped (by giving you an SBEvent), and then you can look around the state of your program to figure out if the stop reason is a breakpoint, and if so “which” breakpoint. This is similar to what the lldb-perf TestCase class does, so you can refer to TestCase::Loop() for an example of how you would to that. Unfortunately, what you get from that API is the breakpoint number, which might be not very informative by itself. We discussed the option of letting you “name” breakpoints and then retrieve that name for situations like this, but haven’t gotten around to doing anything more than discussing it. You can of course work around the issue by having a number -> name table, or by writing a patch for named breakpoints :-)
