				   <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) & ELF (32-bit).</li>
 | 
						|
    					   <li>Object container parsers to extract object files contained within a file.
 | 
						|
    					       Support currently includes universal Mach-O files & BSD Archives.
 | 
						|
    					       </li>
 | 
						|
    					   <li>Debug symbol file parsers to incrementally extract debug information from
 | 
						|
    					       object files. Support currently includes DWARF & 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>
 | 
						|
    					       , & 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>
 | 
						|
				   </ul>
