That is good news. Although I was hoping lldb would be a great second debugger integration, possibly enabling some advanced functionality it brings, I do recognize the magnitude of that work. It's good to see the lldb community already using it with CDT. Can't wait to see it.
Doug.

That sounds promising.
One of the maintainers of Qt Creator also mentions that they use LLDB's
python scripting mechanism to produce MI-like output and it lets them
"re-use most of the existing frontend code".

I'm guessing such scripts would work just as well for Eclipse, if someone
wants to give it a try.
