LLDB is the debugger from the LLVM family of projects. Originally developed for Mac OS X, it now also supports &os; NetBSD, Linux, Android, and Windows. It builds on existing components in the larger LLVM project, for example using Clang's expression parser and LLVM's disassembler.
LLDB in the &os; base system was upgraded to version 3.7.0 as part of the Clang and LLVM upgrade, and it will similarly be upgraded again, to 3.8.0 for &os; 11.0-RELEASE.
LLDB is now enabled by default on the amd64 and arm64 platforms. It is now a functional basic debugger on arm64 after a number of fixes were made in the last quarter to both LLDB and the &os; kernel.
Rework the LLDB build to use LLVM and Clang shared libraries.
Port remote debug stub to &os;.
Add support for local and core file kernel debugging.
Improve support on architectures beyond amd64 and arm64.
