            Bug ID: 183744
           Summary: Add some tests for lldb_webkit.py
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Local Build
          Hardware: Macintosh
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Tools/lldb/lldb_webkit.py adds various data formatters to LLDB to pretty-print common WTF and WebCore data structures (e.g. WTF::String) as well as exposes other helpful debugging functions in an LLDB session. The script lldb_webkit.py is fragile and can break when the memory layout of these pretty-printable data structures change among other code changes. People that make changes to these data structures may not be using lldb_webkit.py, be aware of its existence, or may not notice the breakage they cause to lldb_webkit.py. We should add tests for lldb_webkit.py to help identify changes that may break it as well as allow developers extending lldb_webkit.py to write correctness tests.
