.. from the guts of GDBRemoteCommunication to ~top level. This is motivated by #131519 and by the fact that's impossible to guess whether the author of a symlink intended it to be a "convenience shortcut" -- meaning it should be resolved before looking for related files; or an "implementation detail" -- meaning the related files should be located near the symlink itself. This debate is particularly ridiculous when it comes to lldb-server running in platform mode, because it also functions as a debug server, so what we really just need to do is to pass /proc/self/exe in a platform-independent manner. Moving the location logic higher up achieves that as lldb-platform (on non-macos) can pass `HostInfo::GetProgramFileSpec`, while liblldb can use the existing complex logic (which only worked on liblldb anyway as lldb-platform doesn't have a lldb_private::Platform instance). Another benefit of this patch is a reduction in dependency from GDBRemoteCommunication to the rest of liblldb (achieved by avoiding the Platform dependency).
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
