I wonder if lldb isn’t using the windows platform. In the lldb command line, 
load up your target, then type “target list”. I’d like to see what plaform it 
chose, and what the triple is.

That makes sense, and I'm sure it works great when using MSVC as a compiler, 
but I think LLDB recognizes mingw as a unix compiler and tries to do 
GDBRemoteCommunication::StartDebugserverProcess when it should be doing 
PlatformWindows::DebugProcess. 

 

Not sure though. All I know is when I try to do a SBTarget::Launch on windows 
under mingw (msys2) it says cannot find lldb-server...

Hi Russell,

 

I assume you mean for SBTarget::Launch or LaunchSimple to launch a Windows 
application.

 

The short answer is, this already works.

 

SBTarget::Launch calls Target::Launch, which calls DebugProcess in the relevant 
platform. For cases where we use lldb-server, the platform make a call that 
eventually gets to  GDBRemoteCommunication::StartDebugserverProcess to start up 
lldb-server. On Windows, PlatformWindows::DebugProcess calls Process::Launch, 
which (on Windows) will do the correct thing to start up and connect to a 
Windows process.

 

See PlatformWindows::DebugProcess in 
source\Plugins\Platform\Windows\PlatformWindows.cpp and 
ProcessLauncherWIndows::LaunchProcess in 
source\Host\windows\ProcessLauncherWindows.cpp .

Subject: [lldb-dev] Using LLDB API on windows

 

Hey so I am developing a project using LLDB as a debugger and am looking to 
make it cross-platform. 

 

As I see it, the LLDB API boots up an instance of lldb-server, but lldb-server 
isn't available on windows. Is there a way to use the LLDB C++ API on windows? 

 

On the status page <https://lldb.llvm.org/status.html>  I see the lldb 
commandline tool is OK for windows, which uses the LLDB API, how is this 
achieved?
