| # Zxdb |
| |
| This is the code for the frontend of the Fuchsia debugger. This frontend runs |
| on the developer's host computer (Linux or Mac) and talks via IPC (code in |
| [../ipc](../ipc)) to the debug agent (code in [../debug_agent](../debug_agent)) |
| running on the Fuchsia target. |
| |
| ### User documentation |
| |
| Please see the debugger [setup](../../../../garnet/docs/debugger.md) and |
| [usage](../../../../garnet/docs/debugger_usage.md) documentation. |
| |
| ### Subdirectories |
| |
| In order from the lowest conceptual level to the highest. Dependencies always |
| point "up" in this list. |
| |
| * `common`: Lower-level utilities used by multiple other layers. Can not |
| depend on any other part of the debugger. |
| |
| * `symbols`: The symbol library. This wraps LLVM's DWARF parser and provides |
| symbol indexing, an object model, and helper utilities for dealing with |
| symbols. |
| |
| * `expr`: The expression evaluation library. This provides a parser for |
| C++-like expressions and an execution environment for these expressions |
| using the symbol library. |
| |
| * `client`: Conceptually this is a library for writing a debugger UI. It |
| provides functions for the lower-level commands like "step" and "next" and |
| an object model for dealing with processes, threads, etc. But this library |
| provides no user-interface. |
| |
| * `console`: Frontend for the client that provides a console UI on Linux and |
| Mac. |
