So you would save the file, create a target:
const char *core_path = ...; // Save STDIN to a file and put path in
"core_path"
const bool source_init_files = false;
debugger = lldb::SBDebugger::Create(source_init_files);
target = debugger.CreateTarget(None);
process = target.LoadCore(core_path);
if (process.IsValid())
{
// Do any symbolication you need to on your process core file
// as it will behave just like a real process, you just can't run it
}
