As someone who's been involved with [lldb-dap](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/tree/main/lldb/tools/lldb-dap) I have some experience in that space.
My immediate question about how you're planning on supporting that was answered by the "Debug Adapter Components" section. The following sentence stood out to me: > [W]e propose using the component model to design an interface for a debug > adapter.

This is basically describing the GDB remote protocol. In the world of native debugging, it's the standard for talking to a debugger like lldb and gdb. I definitely think it's something worth considering, and it sounds like Alex seems to be saying something similar. > I'm not personally aware of other runtimes that want to mirror what WAMR is > doing here.

The V8 JavaScript engine is another example, and in the context of Swift, [WasmKit](https://github.com/swiftwasm/WasmKit/issues/141) is interested in it as well. > Small clarification / additional context as the Wasmtime-focused team I am on > just finished some planning: some folks (@cfallin and others) have actually > started working on the implementation of parts of that debugging RFC already, > and while they haven't yet started on the debug adapter protocol > implementation that the lldb frontend (or others) could attach to, that is > the next big milestone after the current one.

When you talk about LLDB as a "client", I assume you mean the "debug adapater component" rather than the "debug adapter protocol"? https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/150143 _______________________________________________ lldb-commits mailing list lldb-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lldb-commits
