Is there a “TUI” mode for standalone lldb?

问题:

Since gdb is getting onerous to work with on a Mac these days (at least I feel like I am fighting uphill against Apple), I've started to play around with lldb.

Is there an equivalent mode to gdb -tui that shows a nice, persistent view of the source and where you are in it when running lldb standalone from the command line? Obviously, in Xcode, there is such a display, but I deploy most of my code to Linux boxes eventually and would prefer to use the same development environment on both platforms (i.e., vim, Makefiles, autotools, etc.).

回答1:

In top of tree svn source lldb there's a very new command line GUI mode that's been added by Greg Clayton. It's pretty neat with separate windows for the source, local variables, stack, threads, registers, etc. No console window yet. It's pretty cool. See http://lldb.llvm.org/build.html for how to build lldb from source if you'd like to check it out. To enter the GUI mode, just type gui from the lldb command line when you're debugging.

UPDATE: this gui feature is included in the lldb that ships in Xcode 6 and later. It's a nights-and-weekends side project that isn't seeing a lot of active development right now but give it a try.

Sadly, no.

However, I did came across this: https://github.com/snarez/voltron

If you are familiar with screen/tmux it works pretty good.

I'm having good luck with a free GUI facade from Affinic. It's not perfect (or, at least, my understanding of it is not perfect). I must occasionally restart it and sometimes it gets unsynchronized from particularly gnarly / fancy C++ code, e.g., code that does a lot of implicit stuff in constructors. But overall it has saved me a lot of time over the old-fashioned way at the command line.

I have not been able to get the ncurses GUI mode in the LLDB CLI to work, and I have not tried Voltron.
