Subject: Re: [lldb-dev] Command history line editing

 

readline has been around for donkeys' years. I was hacking it in MKSToolkit 
back in the nineties. That implementation had a bug that hosed the debugger's 
command line and a shell work-around to resolve it. Presumably, there must be a 
clean-room version of readline somewhere that does not use GPL? bash owns the 
command line so applications should mimic its behavior, or at least offer a 
user-selectable option. Say, either emacs or vi editing modes, as bash itself 
does.

License questions need to be cleared with the LLVM Foundation.
But my non-lawyer understanding is no GPL.
