I did it mainly because (I believe) that is common practice (so, *not* doing it could be confusing), and I believe the reason is precisely the one you mention -- as it's going to be in a global directory, you don't need it to be hidden (quite the opposite). If we take bash as an example, here are some of the files it accesses: `~/.terminfo` vs `/etc/terminfo` (a directory) -- done through the terminfo library, so which is used by lldb as well `~/.bashrc` vs `/etc/bash/bashrc` `~/.dir_colors` vs `/etc/DIR_COLORS` -- this isn't hardcoded in bash, but accessed from /etc/bash/bashrc `~/.inputrc` vs `/etc/inputrc` `~/.bash_profile` vs `/etc/profile` Repository: rG LLVM Github Monorepo CHANGES SINCE LAST ACTION https://reviews.llvm.org/D119831/new/ https://reviews.llvm.org/D119831 _______________________________________________ lldb-commits mailing list lldb-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lldb-commits
