I'd agree with the default behavior being off and the command being
changed to an enable style. All targets we have worked with certainly
default to off, or don't have the feature at all.

I believe that disabling by default would match the gdb behavior yes?
If nothing else, yes, I'm a fan of this :)

Hey all,
Regarding this bug:
http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=20658
We've been discussing the idea of having ASLR disabled by default
when launching processes within lldb. Currently it looks like the
default behavior is to have it enabled, and require explicitly
disabling to get that behavior for the process.
It seems like it might make more sense to have it disabled by
default - that way code references would likely be static across
debugger runs, which seems to be more what we want when tracking
down issues across code runs.
Any thoughts on this?
The counterargument I could make for changing it would be (aside
from legacy compatibility issues perhaps on the MacOSX/iOS side) -
taking the exe out of its native state on the OS. If a bug is
ASLR sensitive, the user might miss it. And so behavior in the
debugger could differ from the exe in its native state. Not sure
how relevant that is for the majority of usages, though.
I'll be fixing the fact that Linux is ignoring this altogether.
But while I'm in there, I could flip the default if we wanted to
do it. If not globally, we'd probably pursue defaulting it on
Linux (and Ed seems to like it for FreeBSD as well, so maybe for
not Apple in that case?)
