Checking whether the feature exists in the program (the approach you're taking) is more correct. We usually do host != target testsuite runs for arm devices, but there's no reason why someone couldn't do a macos x freebsd testsuite run and the sysctl check would be invalid in that case. https://reviews.llvm.org/D41962 _______________________________________________ lldb-commits mailing list lldb-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lldb-commits
