Not yet, but it's trivial to add for at least LLDB. My end goal is what you describe - kernel, base system userland, and packages/ports can all provide standalone debug packages which will install to a consistent and well-known location, and be picked up automatically by the debugger. Part of this project depends on moving past our old binutils though, so we can start using the build-id ELF note to link the executable or library with its associated debug data. _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
