Hi Matthew,
I am working on Linux lldb, but currently I am focused on the x86_64
build, specifically on Ubuntu LTS systems (so 12.04 right now, until
we bump up to the next one).
My only experience with the 32-bit version on Ubuntu 12.04 x86 was
that I could *not* build it using a configure/(g)make Debug+Asserts
build as the compiler/linker would run out of memory. I did get it to
make it past several OOM situations, but could never get past
liblldb.so linkage using gcc 4.8.2 on a debug build. When I switched
to a release build (optimizations enabled, no debug info in the lldb
build), then I could make it through the build process.
Yes, as I'd imagined - Linux 32-bit is currently seeing little action.
As to the quality question as it pertains to Linux x86_64 (and
probably Linux as a whole): I have run into several what I'd call
significant bugs where I could not debug development work without
first fixing a bug in lldb. The good news is that these bugs are
getting fixed now as my team hits them.
On a related note: in an effort to increase confidence in the state of
the code, we are in the process of gathering some code coverage
information for lldb under Linux x86_64 when running the local tests.
This would be a first approximation as to how much work we may need
to do to ensure we've got lldb Linux running reasonably reliably.
I'll make an attempt to characterize those results once I have them.
(Right now the gcov/lcov-built lldb is crashing when run, so I need
to track that down first). It is likely that x86 Linux will share
similar results as the x86_64 side w/r/t reliability.
I hope that helps, Matthew.
Yes, thanks for this, Todd. Meanwhile I'm going to attempt to persuade
my 32-bit build to work correctly. I think the main problem is that the
register map is wrong, in fact I'm wondering if the 64-bit map is being
used instead. I'm new to lldb, so I can't make any strong assumptions.
Anyway, I'll keep digging.
Thanks again,
Matt
