We could add it in one of two places as far as I see: (lldb) frame variable --type my_var [my_var2] The "--type" option (no arguments for the option) would indicate we want to dump the types of any variable names listed as arguments to the command. (lldb) type lookup --variable my_var --variable my_var2 where "--variable <VARNAME>" means to look at the type of a variable. I think both would be useful as they would be easy to add. Please let me know if anyone has any other ideas. BTW: it would be easy to add this as a python command for now until we get this into lldb. > > thanks, > vigneshbalu > > > _______________________________________________ > lldb-dev mailing list > lldb-dev@lists.llvm.org > http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lldb-dev _______________________________________________ lldb-dev mailing list lldb-dev@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lldb-dev
