+ <p>LLDB supports a broad variety of basic debugging features such as
+ reading DWARF, supporting step, next, finish, backtraces, etc. Some
+ more interested bits are:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Plug-in architecture for portability and extensibility:</li>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Object file parsers for executable file formats. Support currently
+ includes Mach-O (32 and 64-bit) &amp; ELF (32-bit).</li>
+ <li>Object container parsers to extract object files contained within a file.
+ Support currently includes universal Mach-O files &amp; BSD Archives.
+ </li>
+ <li>Debug symbol file parsers to incrementally extract debug information from
+ object files. Support currently includes DWARF &amp; Mach-O symbol
+ tables.</li>
+ <li>Symbol vendor plug-ins collect data from a variety of different sources
+ for an executable object.</li>
+ <li>Disassembly plug-ins for each architecture. Support currently includes
+ an LLVM disassembler for <a href="http://blog.llvm.org/2010/01/x86-disassembler.html">i386, x86-64</a>
+ , &amp; ARM/Thumb.</li>
+ <li>Debugger plug-ins implement the host and target specific functions
+ required to debug.</li>
+ </ul>
+ <li>SWIG-generated script bridging allows Python to access and control the
+ public API of the debugger library.</li>
+ <li>A remote protocol server, debugserver, implements Mac OS X debugging on
+ i386 and x86-64.</li>
+ <li>A command line debugger - the lldb executable itself.</li>
+ <li>A framework API to the library.</li>
