0086         - https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=28860
0087       (needed to update hitCount)
0088     * -break-watch command not supported
0089         + use raw cli command 'break set var' doesn't provides MI response
0090     * when hit watch point, nothing is output, which confuses the controller
0091     * thread-info returns malformated result
0092         + there should be only one 'frame' key for each thread in the list
0093         + [FIXED] there should be a current-thread-id field (Fixed at least in revision 265858)
0094     * [FIXED] lldb-mi crashes when break on a point where multiple threads running. (Fixed at least in revision 265858)
0095     * var-update doesn't support * as variable name

0117
0118 - Fix TODOs in files
0119
0120 - Change test_gdb to avoid direct use of QTest::qWait, which starts event loop, and could cause session to
0121   be deleted. Use WAIT_FOR_STATE_AND_IDLE(session, <previous state>) instead. Or use QPointer for session.
0122
0123 - Known issues
0124     * Debugger console
0125         + debugger CLI stdout isn't shown, due to bug https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=28026
0126     * Remote debugging
0127         + When using 'lldb-server gdbserver' as remote server, server exits once debug session ended.
0128         + When using 'gdbserver' as remote server
0129             - Remote work path can't contain space
0130             - Can't actually start inferior
0131     * Breakpoints
0132         + Pending breakpoints doesn't work. (Break on start now works even without pending breakpoint support)
0133             - Can still manually set pending breakpoints
0134         + Breakpoint hit count is not updated timely (limitation in lldb-mi)
0135         + No watchpoint support
0136             - Can still manually add watch point
0137     * Threads
0138         + lldb-mi crashes when break on a point where multiple threads running. (Fixed in latest lldb trunk version)
0139     * Attach to process
0140         + works internally, but there's no way to access it in the UI currently.
