Save breakpoints in LLDB

How can I save breakpoints in lldb? This is a feature that gdb has and I suspect that lldb has it too but I haven't been able to find it in the help.

How this is done in gdb:

Getting gdb to save a list of breakpoints?

You can you use breakpoint write to save current breakpoints to a file by using

breakpoint write -f debug

This saves your breakpoints to file 'debug'. However the saved breakpoints are not in a simple format compared to that of gdb.

You can read this file with breakpoint read -f debug when you start lldb.

The file is stored as a JSON, so you can read it in your text editor of choice. You can put the file wherever you want so instead of debug, you could do use ~/Desktop/myFilename.json

As Jim Ingham said above, you currently cannot save breakpoints in lldb. However, there is a work around. You can load lldb commands from a command file as follows:

lldb -S <path_to_command_file>

You can have this in your command file:

file <path_to_binary>
breakpoint set --file file0.cc --line 22
breakpoint set --file file1.cc --line 237

The above command file will load the binary and set the breakpoints when lldb starts.
