GALA

October 18, 2022 ยท View on GitHub

GALA is an adapter package which enables GDB Python API in LLDB. The word GALA is an acronym for "GDB API over LLDB API". GALA is aimed at making GDB pretty printers work as LLDB data formatters auto-magically.

Quick Start Guide

Do the following to start using GALA with LLDB:

  1. Clone the GALA git project:

    git clone https://github.com/sivachandra/gala.git

    For convenience, lets say the path to the cloned git repo is path_to_gala.

  2. Add the following lines to your .lldbinit file:

    script import sys
script import sys.path.append(<path_to_gala>)
command script import gdb
command script import gdb.printing

  3. [Optional] To enable autoloading of .debug_gdb_scripts, add the following line (after step 2 from above) to your .lldbinit file:

    command script import autoload
