Yes it works. LLDB actually always uses GDB remote for all local debug sessions by spawning a lldb-server to debug the binary, so yes remote debugging is very well supported in lldb. > Also, does the gdb-remote protocol even offer capabilities for > process-picking? (Not sure, I seldomly used gdb-remote functionality so far, > except for connect to `rr` - for which I am impatiently awaiting first-class > lldb-support 🙂 ) Our lldb-server can be run in two modes: debug or platform. When running in platform mode it does give us the connection we need to the remote server. So yes this can and does work. You can spawn a GDB remote platform on a remote linux machine with `lldb-server platform ...`, then you can `platform connection <host>:<port>` to connect with it. https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/128943 _______________________________________________ lldb-commits mailing list lldb-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lldb-commits
