Why I Can't Use LLDB Which Comes From NDK

[SsageParuders]

Background

I used gdb and gdb-server from NDK to debug my native projects.
But gdb has been removed from NDK 24.
So I want use lldb which comes from NDK to debug my native projects.

• Os: MacOs 12.4
• NDK Version: 25.0.8775105
• LLVM Version: 14.0.6 based on r450784d

What's I had tried

• First of all, I use lldb tools from llvm's bin directly.

  But i get the erros,it seems that we don't have python libs

   ❯ ./lldb --version
   dyld[32678]: Library not loaded: @rpath/libpython3.9.dylib
   Referenced from: /Users/hongqing/Library/Android/sdk/ndk/25.0.8775105/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/lib64/liblldb.14.0.6git.dylib
   Reason: tried: '/Users/hongqing/Library/Android/sdk/ndk/25.0.8775105/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/lib64/../lib64/libpython3.9.dylib' (no such file), '/Users/hongqing/Library/Android/sdk/ndk/25.0.8775105/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/bin/../lib64/libpython3.9.dylib' (no such file), '/Users/hongqing/Library/Android/sdk/ndk/25.0.8775105/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/bin/../lib64/libpython3.9.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/local/lib/libpython3.9.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/libpython3.9.dylib' (no such file)
   [1]    32678 abort      ./lldb --version

• Then, I notice that here is a lldb.sh for us in llvm's bin.
  And I think it can help us set the right environment for lldb.
  So, I use ./lldb.sh --version to have a test.
  Fortunately, I see the information I am looking for!

   ❯ ./lldb.sh --version
   lldb version 14.0.6git (/Volumes/Android/buildbot/src/android/llvm-toolchain/out/llvm-project/lldb revision 4c603efb0cca074e9238af8b4106c30add4418f6)
   clang revision 4c603efb0cca074e9238af8b4106c30add4418f6
   llvm revision 4c603efb0cca074e9238af8b4106c30add4418f6

• So, I think we just need to use lldb.sh instead of lldb bin or source lldb.sh before use lldb bin.

The Problem Now

But when I want to enter the LLDB command line.
Whether I use lldb.sh or lldb bin after source lldb.sh.
It comes a information like: terminals database is inaccessible

• Just as :

  ❯ ./lldb.sh
  terminals database is inaccessible
  ❯ source lldb.sh
  terminals database is inaccessible
  ❯ ./lldb
  terminals database is inaccessible

• So, how can i enter the LLDB command line?

END

Could everyone help me? Thanks very much~

Because apparently no one tested lldb on macOS. Please file a bug.

Dear bro, you mean I need to add a bug log here?(In fact ,I had send all logs here)
Or, I need to create an issue from this discussion?
Sorry for my bad comprehension.
Thanks for your reply~

File a bug using https://github.com/android/ndk/issues/new/choose so we have the information asked for in the template and so we can triage it to a release. I can't triage a Q&A post.
