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.

No one is working on it or even thinking about it. It is so far from being useful that it should probably just be removed. -Chris On Sep 27, 2009, at 4:29 PM, idoud <doudalis at gmail.com> wrote:> 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.

So there is no practical interest in llbm-db or /lib/Debugger . I am asking because I would not like to spend time and effort on a part of the API that you are planning to remove. ~Ioannis On Sun, Sep 27, 2009 at 8:00 PM, Chris Lattner <clattner at apple.com> wrote:> No one is working on it or even thinking about it.
