omjavaid added a comment. GDB doesnt use bkpt instruction for user debugging for the reason that it interferes with jtag debug probes. I am not sure if LLDB will be ever used with a jtag probe in near future but still a jtag prob might be connected to the same hardware which is using LLDB to debug a user space application.
heres a discussion which happened some years back on similar issues: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-01/msg00624.html http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg80476.html I am fine with using bkpt as long as it helps us debug IT blocks and doesnt interfere with any of our currently functionality. http://reviews.llvm.org/D16853 _______________________________________________ lldb-commits mailing list lldb-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lldb-commits
