--- Comment #11 from RJVB <rjvber...@gmail.com> ---
I'll try tomorrow, but how do you handle the case where you cannot determine
the version of a perfectly acceptable lldb-mi? Again, the user may not have
much choice to install a patched lldb-mi (think users on OS X).

As to using liblldb: this *is* the preferred way to write a GUI for lldb.
Pretty sure it's how Xcode interfaces to the debugger; there's also a
(commercial) GUI for lldb that almost certainly does the same thing. Let's be
honest, it's the most direct way to control the debugger; rather than figuring
out how to control an existing driver that's tailored for another kind of
application you send exactly the commands you want, without having to parse
text replies which may not be perfectly adequate for what you want.

Best you can do in this aspect is ask on the lldb ML, to get an uptodate
opinion and hopefuly also some feedback on how lldb-mi is perceived. When I
asked I got a strong impression it was seen as a 2nd-class citizen that existed
only for Eclipse and that would likely never evolve towards a full MI
implementation.
