是否有与gdbserver等效的lldb？

Question

I have recently started developing on macOS and need to remotely debug a process by kicking off a debug server and connecting to it from another machine. Using GDB I would do this on the machine to be debugged:

gdbserver :<port> --attach <pid>

However, GDB appears to no longer be supported on macOS as the community has apparently transitioned to using lldb . However, I am unable to find the equivalent command for kicking off a debug server using lldb. I found this equivalency page, but the only mention of something similar is using lldb as a client that connects to some remote server.

I have found mention of a lldb-server command, but I am unable to find documentation on how to install it as it did not come with the standard command-line tools package on macOS.

Answer 1

On macOS systems, use debugserver . eg at /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/LLDB.framework/Resources/debugserver

On linux, use lldb-server .

debugserver was written before lldb was, and is a bit of a developmental dead-end; at some point in the future lldb-server will be updated to handle all the macOS specific features and debugserver will be retired. There's no concrete plans to do that work in the immediate future though.
