The question at hand is not about LLVM, or GCC. It is whether to install support for something called LLDB. What exactly is LLDB? >From its name, I guess that LLDB is a noncopylefted debugger and that some might intend it to replace GDB. But I don't know if that is so. Depending on the answers to this questions, and others I don't know enough to ask yet, it might be good or bad to install this patch. I know enough to think that bigger things MAY be at stake here. I don't know enough to determine whether that is really so, or what importance they have. I want to find out. Does anyone here know enough about LLDB to answer my questions? -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
