using LLDB to debug Gecko
Hi, For those of you who are using LLDB -- either by choice, or against your will after upgrading to OS X 10.9 -- I've added some Gecko-specific LLDB functionality to an .lldbinit file in the tree. I've mainly started with porting across the commands from the in-tree .gdbinit that were still useful. You can read about it here: http://mcc.id.au/blog/2014/01/lldb-gecko Let me know if you have any ideas for further commands and type summaries we could add!

Re: using LLDB to debug Gecko
This is fantastic, thank you so much! a few months ago, I started looking into porting the pretty printers and niceties for various SpiderMonkey things that live in js/src/gdb, but the way much of this works is very different from gdb, so I didn't get too far back them. This makes me want to pick that project up again.

Re: using LLDB to debug Gecko
Yeah. In general there are still some pain points using lldb, since a lot of automation still assumes gdb (I'm looking at you, jit-tests). We're going to have to use lldb going forward, so I think we should make it a priority to improve the developer experience when using it. bholley On Tue, Jan 21, 2014 at 2:31 AM, Till Schneidereit t...@tillschneidereit.net wrote: This is fantastic, thank you so much! a few months ago, I started looking into porting the pretty printers and niceties for various SpiderMonkey things that live in js/src/gdb, but the way much of this works is very different from gdb, so I didn't get too far back them.

Re: using LLDB to debug Gecko
Really nice Cameron, thanks for doing this! Now if only I could get LLDB to work with GUD in emacs. If anyone has managed that, I'd love to hear about it. There was some elisp in the LLDB repo at one time but last I checked it had been removed and the last version that existed didn't work with the current version of emacs. - Seth On Jan 21, 2014, at 2:09 AM, Cameron McCormack c...@mcc.id.au wrote: Hi, For those of you who are using LLDB -- either by choice, or against your will after upgrading to OS X 10.9 -- I've added some Gecko-specific LLDB functionality to an .lldbinit file in the tree.
