Lldb

If you're debugging on macOS or working with clang-built binaries and need to move past GDB muscle memory, this gets you fluent in LLDB fast. The command map is the real value here, translating every GDB idiom you know into LLDB syntax, plus it covers the Apple-specific stuff like Objective-C breakpoints and shared cache lookups that trip people up. Includes Python scripting hooks and VS Code integration setup. Honestly most useful as a reference when you're mid-debug session and can't remember whether it's "thread step-over" or "process step" for the third time today.

LLDB

Purpose

Guide agents through LLDB sessions and map existing GDB knowledge to LLDB. Covers command differences, Apple specifics, Python scripting, and IDE integration.

Triggers

"I'm on macOS and need to debug a C++ program"
"How does LLDB differ from GDB?"
"How do I do [GDB command] in LLDB?"
"LLDB shows <unavailable> for variables"
"How do I use LLDB in VS Code?"
"How do I write an LLDB Python script?"

Workflow

1. Start LLDB

lldb ./prog                         # load binary
lldb ./prog -- arg1 arg2            # with arguments
lldb -p 12345                       # attach to PID
lldb -c core.1234                   # load core dump
lldb ./prog core.1234               # binary + core
