Do you have any thoughts before I pursue this further?
I doubt anybody will be installing lldb with elevated privileges, and I would be wary of recommending that. Theoretically, we could implement that approach and use it in case the user happens to have that privilege, but I don't believe it's worth it. I think we should just stick to the polling approach. You should be able to get a list of running processes with `Host::FindProcesses`. _______________________________________________ lldb-dev mailing list lldb-dev@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lldb-dev
