LLDB-Swift Folks,
I have a question about the underlying implementation of LLDB+Swift REPL. Specifically, I am trying to understand how long the SIL module that is generated for the currently evaluated line is kept around. As far as I understand, here is what REPL does for a given input:
- Parses the given input into a SIL module
- Performs type checking and other sanity checks
- Lowers the SIL Module to LLVM IR
- Throws away the SIL module.
Is my understanding about the lifetime of the generated SIL module correct?
Best,
Gogul
