gdb mode for lldb?

[Raymond Toy]

Is there a gdb mode that works with lldb? OSX no longer has gdb and
uses lldb instead. Is there some way to get gdb mode on xemacs to
work with lldb?

Not that I know of. I suggest you try the llvm sites and lists.

However, if you find one, I'd be happy to package an add-on or
llvm-compatible version for XEmacs.

I doubt you'll find one in upstream Emacs, as Apple and LLVM are two
of RMS's favorite whipping boys. :-(

I just ran lldb on my Mac (for the first time) - on first glance, it
seems to support the same set of commands as gdb. The prompt string is
different. Can you change gdb-mode to look for a different prompt and
does that "just work", atleast for basic functions? Or is it
fundamentally broken?

Many of the basic ones, yes. However, many facilities, even some
shared with gdb, are accessible only through lldb-specific syntax, I
think. It might be easier to add more command aliases to lldb than to
mess with gdb (except for the prompt string, but that's a trivial
change that isn't even handled by gdb, I believe, it's part of comint).

I don't know: I never used gdb much, except for XEmacs specific
functions, and usually after XEmacs crashed.

I think it's a good idea to try, but I don't have time at the moment.

I think emacs has one (somewhere) and I looked a little at it. I think
xemacs' gdb mode and emacs' gdb/gud has diverged enough to make it
painful.
