reload .lldbinit without reloading the app?

Question

Is there a way to reload a .lldbinit file, without rebuilding the app? Similar to what one can do with gdb as follows:

 source ~/.gdbinit

Answer 1

Use command source.

(lldb) command source ~/.lldbinit

If you are loading a Python file,

(lldb) command script import ~/lldb/bbt.py

although note that you cannot re-import a function that you've already imported in an lldb debug session; when refining a python script you'll need to quit & restart the debugger to try new versions.
