+ <p>LLDB is the debugger project associated with Clang/LLVM. It
+ supports the Mac OS X, Linux, and &os; platforms, with Windows
+ support under development. It builds on existing components
+ in the larger LLVM project, for example using Clang's
+ expression parser and LLVM's disassembler.</p>
+
+ <p>Work over the last three months consisted mainly of
+ maintenance, ensuring that the upstream &os; port continues to
+ build and that testsuite failures are promptly addressed.</p>
+
+ <p>I plan to import a new LLDB snapshot after the base system
+ Clang is updated to 3.5. Some upstream improvements that will
+ be in that import include:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Ability to specify a count to thread step-*
+ operations.</li>
+
+ <li>Ongoing AArch64 development.</li>
+
+ <li>Significant progress on the lldb-gdbserver debug
+ stub.</li>
+
+ <li>I/O handling improvements.</li>
+
+ <li>A much faster C++ name demangler for most symbols.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>A proof-of-concept implementation of kernel debugging support
+ for amd64 was completed as part of Google Summer of Code. It
+ is not ready to be committed, but will form the basis for
+ upcoming kernel debugging support.</p>
