lldb-sys

Dual licensed under the MIT and Apache 2 licenses. The C bindings for LLDB are licensed under the same license as LLVM.

Installation

This crate works with Cargo and is on crates.io. Add it to your Cargo.toml like so:

toml [dependencies] lldb-sys = "0.0.9"

You will need to have 2 environment variables set to do the build:

• LLVM_ROOT - This points to the root of the LLVM source tree.
• LLVM_BUILD_ROOT - This points to the root of an LLVM build directory. This may be the same as the LLVM source tree, especially if you're working from a binary install.

For now, you will have to set an @rpath manually on your executables so that they can find the LLDB.framework at runtime. This can be done with install_name_tool:

shell install_name_tool -add_rpath /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks target/debug/examples/barebones

Alternatively, for testing and local work, you can set the DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH:

shell export DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks

Status of Implementation

Things are under active development. This project is not quite usable yet as some of the basic functionality is being written.

Contribution

Unless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the work by you, as defined in the Apache-2.0 license, shall be dual licensed as above, without any additional terms or conditions.

Binding Re-generation

If something happens where the Rust bindings need to be re-generated, they were generated from this set of files with bindgen. We have a script to automate some of the processing that is needed:

shell bin/generate_bindings.sh

After running that, you will want to selectively merge the changes with what was previously there as the output of this process is hand-edited to add usage of libc as well as doc comments in critical places.
