[talk] NYC*BUG Tonight: Debugging with LLVM

[George Rosamond]

Wednesday, April 6, 645 PM
Debugging with LLVM, John Wolfe
Stone Creek Bar & Lounge: 140 E 27th St

Abstract

"LLDB is a next generation, high-performance debugger. It is built as a
set of reusable components which highly leverage existing libraries in
the larger LLVM Project, such as the Clang expression parser and LLVM
disassembler."

There is a new debugger in town. Developed by Apple for Mac OS X, it is
now available on FreeBSD, Linux and Windows. We will take a brief look
at LLDB's history and its modular design, delve into the commands with a
comparison to GDB's commands, checkout the python interface and put it
all to use to debug a program.

Speaker Bio

John moved to New Jersey when he joined the software development tools

on compilers, optimizers, debuggers, and performance tools since then.
