We currently have the ability to support this for ELf. It is only currently
hooked up for Mach-O binaries when you have a dSYM (stand alone debug info
bundle). You will want to implement this for your platform:
FileSpecList
Platform::LocateExecutableScriptingResources(Target *target, Module &module,
Stream *feedback_stream) {
return FileSpecList();
}
So given an LLDB Module (executable/shared library), find any python files that
should be imported. You can take a look at what we do in PlatformDarwin:
PlatformDarwin::LocateExecutableScriptingResources()
Basically it sees if the module has a stand alone debug file, and if it does,
it looks for scripting resource files that will be imported. In our case we
might have and module whose path is "/tmp/a.out", we ask the symbol vendor to
get the symbol file ("/tmp/a.out.dSYM"), and if it has one, this file is a
bundle. Inside of this bundle we look for a "a_out.py" that is relative to the
file. If that file exists, it will be pulled in automatically.
So this is possible to implement for other platforms. Seems like you can have
".debug_lldb_python_scripts" section that could specify a relative (relative to
the ELF file itself) or absolute path to scripting files that should be loaded
when this binary gets loaded. So that shouldn't be too hard to implement.
Let me know if you have any questions.
