-Building LLDB
-=============
-
-1. Clone the llvm, clang, and lldb repos like this:
-
- llvm
- |
- `-- tools
- |
- +-- clang
- |
- `-- lldb
-
- ```
- cd $HOME
- git clone http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git
- cd $HOME/llvm/tools
- git clone http://llvm.org/git/clang.git
- git clone http://llvm.org/git/lldb.git
- ```
-
-2. Checkout the "release_39" branches in llvm/clang/lldb:
-
- ```
- cd $HOME/llvm
- git checkout release_39
- cd $HOME/llvm/tools/clang
- git checkout release_39
- cd $HOME/llvm/tools/lldb
- git checkout release_39
- ```
-
-3. Install the prerequisites:
-
- For Linux (Debian or Ubuntu):
- ```
- sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion swig python2.7-dev libedit-dev libncurses5-dev
- ```
-
- For OSX, the latest Xcode needs to be installed and I use Homebrew to install the rest:
- ```
- brew install python swig doxygen ocaml
- ```
-
- There may be more prerequisites required, when building the cmake files it should let
- you know if there are any I missed.
-
- See http://lldb.llvm.org/build.html for more details on these preliminaries.
-
-4. If building on OSX, carefully following the signing directions (before you build)
- here: $HOME/llvm/tools/lldb/docs/code-signing.txt. Even though those build directions
- say to use Xcode to build lldb, I never got it to work, but cmake/make works.
-
-5. Building the cmake files (you can build either debug or release or both).
-
- For debug:
- ```
- mkdir -p $HOME/build/debug
- cd $HOME/build/debug
- cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug $HOME/llvm
- ```
- For release:
- ```
- mkdir -p $HOME/build/release
- cd $HOME/build/release
- cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release $HOME/llvm
- ```
-6. Build lldb (release was picked in this example, but can be replaced with "debug"):
- ```
- cd $HOME/build/release/tools/lldb
- make -j16
- ```
- When you build with -j16 (parallel build with 16 jobs), sometimes it fails. Just start again with just make.
-
- For OS X, building in remote ssh shell won't sign properly, use a terminal window on the machine itself.
-
-7. To use the newly built lldb and to build the coreclr SOS plugin for it, set these environment variables in your .profile:
- ```
- export LLDB_INCLUDE_DIR=$HOME/llvm/tools/lldb/include
- export LLDB_LIB_DIR=$HOME/build/release/lib
- PATH=$HOME/build/release/bin:$PATH
- ```
- For OS X also set:
- ```
- export LLDB_DEBUGSERVER_PATH=$HOME/build/release/bin/debugserver
- ```
- It also seems to be necessary to run lldb as superuser e.g. `sudo -E $HOME/build/release/bin/lldb` (the -E is necessary so the above debug server environment variable is passed) if using a remote ssh, but it isn't necessary if run it in a local terminal session.

**Note:** _corerun_ is a simple host that does not support resolving NuGet dependencies. It relies on libraries being locatable via the `CORE_LIBRARIES` environment variable or present in the same directory as the corerun executable.

### Debugging core dumps with lldb
-It is also possible to debug .NET Core crash dumps using lldb and SOS. In order to do this, you need all of the following:
-
-- The crash dump file. We have a service called "Dumpling" which collects, uploads, and archives crash dump files during all of our CI jobs and official builds.
-- On Linux, there is a utility called `createdump` (see [doc](https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/blob/master/Documentation/botr/xplat-minidump-generation.md#configurationpolicy)) that can be setup to generate core dumps when a managed app throws an unhandled exception or faults.
-- To get matching runtime and symbol binaries for the core dump use the symbol downloader CLI extension:
- - Install the [.NET Core 2.1 SDK](https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/).
- - Install the symbol downloader extension: `dotnet tool install -g dotnet-symbol`. Make sure you are not in any project directory with a NuGet.Config that doesn't include nuget.org as a source.
- - Run `dotnet symbol coredump` to download the runtime binaries and symbols.
- - Check out the coreclr and corefx repositories at the appropriate commit for the appropriate source.
- - For further information see: [dotnet-symbol](https://github.com/dotnet/symstore/blob/master/src/dotnet-symbol/README.md).
-- lldb version 3.9. The SOS plugin (i.e. libsosplugin.so) provided is now built for lldb 3.9. In order to install lldb 3.9 just run the following commands:
-```
-~$ echo "deb http://llvm.org/apt/trusty/ llvm-toolchain-trusty-3.9 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/llvm.list
-~$ wget -O - http://llvm.org/apt/llvm-snapshot.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
-~$ sudo apt-get update
-~$ sudo apt-get install lldb-3.9
-```
-
-Once you have everything listed above, you are ready to start debugging. You need to specify an extra parameter to lldb in order for it to correctly resolve the symbols for libcoreclr.so. Use a command like this:
-
-```
-lldb-3.9 -O "settings set target.exec-search-paths <runtime-path>" -o "plugin load <path-to-libsosplugin.so>" --core <core-file-path> <host-path>
-```
-
-- `<runtime-path>`: The path containing libcoreclr.so.dbg, as well as the rest of the runtime and framework assemblies.
-- `<core-file-path>`: The path to the core dump you are attempting to debug.
-- `<host-path>`: The path to the dotnet or corerun executable, potentially in the `<runtime-path>` folder.
-- `<path-to-libsosplugin.so>`: The path to libsosplugin.so, should be in the `<runtime-path>` folder.
-
-lldb should start debugging successfully at this point. You should see stack traces with resolved symbols for libcoreclr.so. At this point, you can run `plugin load <libsosplugin.so-path>`, and begin using SOS commands, as above.
