# Disclaimer

The swift-lldb repository is frozen and is preserved for historical purposes only.

Active development is now happening in the following repository: https://github.com/apple/llvm-project

# Swift Debugger and REPL

**Welcome to the Swift Debugger and REPL!**

Swift is a new, high performance systems programming language.  It has a clean

and modern syntax, offers seamless access to existing C and Objective-C

code and frameworks, and is memory safe (by default).

This repository covers the Swift Debugger and REPL support, built on

top of the LLDB Debugger.

# Building LLDB for Swift

To build LLDB for Swift, check out the swift repository and follow

the instruction listed there. You can build lldb passing the --lldb

flag to it. Example invocation:

```

mkdir myswift

cd myswift

git clone https://github.com/apple/swift.git swift

./swift/utils/update-checkout

./swift/utils/build-script -r --lldb

```

# Contribution Subtleties

The swift-lldb project enhances the core LLDB project developed under

the [LLVM Project][llvm]. Swift support in the debugger is added via

the existing source-level plugin infrastructure, isolated to files that

are newly introduced in the lldb-swift repository.

Files that come from the [core LLDB project][lldb] can be readily

identified by their use of the LLVM comment header.  As no local

changes should be made to any of these files, follow the standard

[guidance for upstream changes][upstream].
