<p>LLDB is the debugger project associated with Clang/LLVM. It
supports the Mac OS X, Linux, and &os; platforms, with Windows
support under development. It builds on existing components
in the larger LLVM project, for example using Clang's
expression parser and LLVM's disassembler.</p>
<p>Work over the last three months consisted mainly of
maintenance, ensuring that the upstream &os; port continues to
build and that testsuite failures are promptly addressed.</p>
<p>I plan to import a new LLDB snapshot after the base system
Clang is updated to 3.5. Some upstream improvements that will
be in that import include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ability to specify a count to thread step-*
operations.</li>
<li>Ongoing AArch64 development.</li>
<li>Significant progress on the lldb-gdbserver debug
stub.</li>
<li>I/O handling improvements.</li>
<li>A much faster C++ name demangler for most symbols.</li>
</ul>
<p>A proof-of-concept implementation of kernel debugging support
for amd64 was completed as part of Google Summer of Code. It
is not ready to be committed, but will form the basis for
upcoming kernel debugging support.</p>
