+ <div class="postcontent">
+
+ <p>LLDB has matured a lot in the last year and can be used for
+ C, C++ and Objective C development for x86_64, i386 and ARM debugging.
+ The entire public API is exposed though a framework on Mac OS X which
+ is used by Xcode, the lldb command line tool, and can also be used by
+ Python. The entire public API is exposed through script bridging which
+ allows LLDB to use an embedded Python script interpreter, as well as
+ having a Python module named "lldb" which can be used from Python
+ on the command line. This allows debug sessions to be scripted. It also
+ allows powerful debugging actions to be created and attached to a variety
+ of debugging workflows.</p>
+ </div>
+ <h1 class ="postheader">Linux Status</h1>
+ <div class="postcontent">
+ <p> LLDB is improving on Linux. While the debugserver has not been ported
+ (to enable remote debugging) Linux is nearing feature completeness with Darwin
+ to debug x86_64 programs, and is partially working with i386 programs.
+ ARM architectures on Linux are untested.
+ For more details, see the Features by OS section below.
+ </div>
+ <h1 class ="postheader">FreeBSD Status</h1>
+ <div class="postcontent">
+ <p> LLDB on FreeBSD lags behind the Linux implementation but is improving rapidly.
+ For more details, see the Features by OS section below.

+ <h1 class ="postheader">Features by OS</h1>
+ <div class="postcontent">
+ <p> The table below shows a summary of the features that are available
+ on several platforms. In addition to Linux and Mac OS X, LLDB is also
+ known to work on FreeBSD. Windows and NetBSD support is under development.
