Hi, I would like to ask what is the status concerning llvm-db. When I am trying to use it I get the following error: "Error: No supported binding to inferior processes (debugger not implemented)." Searching in the mailing list I found that you have discontinued working on it. I would like to ask if there are any plans to resume development and if you are looking for any volunteers to resume this work. As part of my research I am studying bi-directional debugging (reverse execution similar to gdb's ). I was hopping I could leverage the llvm's byte-code level information (data flow information) and simplicity as part of my project. Best Regards, Ioannis Doudalis

It has no actually useful debugger logic. -Chris
I found that llvm-db is the front end for lib/Debugger. I would like to ask you if there is anyone who is actively working on this problem, and if you any specific directions/goals/wish list ~Ioannis On Sep 27, 6:41 pm, Chris Lattner <clatt... at apple.com> wrote:> On Sep 27, 2009, at 3:34 PM, idoud wrote: > > > > > Hi, > > > I would like to ask what is the status concerning llvm-db.
