I also don’t love the idea of maintaining a patchset to a standard emacs package. So I was thinking, wouldn’t it be great if gud.el was factored in such a way that debugger back-ends could be added as plug-ins? Then, presumably, someone could maintain a smaller lldb.el package that, when loaded, adds lldb support to gud. Thoughts?
