Is this correct?
Yes, the theory is that the "lldb-platform" is started on a remote system, LLDB then connects to it. The platform is able to: - upload files to the remote host - download files from the remote host - run shell commands on the remote system - maintain a local cache of the remote system root (shared libraries, etc) - list processes on the remote system - get detailed info on individual remote processes - start GDB server binaries on the remote system to allow debugging on the remote system Most of the above stuff is working for MacOSX. The larger picture is to be able to have a test suite that runs on a local system through this platform connection but uploading programs, running them remotely.
