I am new using python scripting in lldb. I am debugging C code.
I want to copy the content of a C array of floats into a python variable in an lldb script. The ultimate goal goal is to plot the content array as is done here with gdb and python.
The C array in the program i'm debugging is declared as float* buffer;
In lldb python script if I do: buf = lldb.frame.FindVariable ("buffer")
buf only contains the non dereferrenced pointer "buffer'" (the address of the array).
How do I access the actual values of the array (derefferenced) and copy them into a python variable? gdb has gdb_numpy.to_array. I looked at SBValue.h and tried GetChildAtIndex method but with no luck.
Actually:
x[i]= float(buf.GetChildAtIndex(i,1,1).GetValue())
Returns value of buf at index i
