How do I queue up the thread plan in the callback?
Here's my attempt:
https://gist.github.com/nkaretnikov/6ee00afabf73332c5a89eacb610369c2#file-scripted_step-py
This is based on:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/master/lldb/examples/python/scripted_step.py
The original 'SimpleStep' class implementation works when run as:
thread step-scripted -C scripted_step.SimpleStep
Not sure if my current version of 'SimpleStep' is correct (I've made a few
changes since testing via 'thread step-scripted'), but nothing happens (no
prints on '__init__') when I add the class via
'StepUsingScriptedThreadPlan' in
the callback.
What's the proper way to do this?
Or do I need to mimic one of the classes with a
'thread_plan.QueueThreadPlan*'
method call? I couldn't figure out how to trace with anything besides the
'SimpleStep' class when running via 'thread step-scripted', so I stuck with
it.

Nevermind the events thing, then. I just run the lldb command and then do:
command script import $FILE
Ideally, I want to keep it this way so I could debug manually if needed.
Thanks,
