26/// \class SystemRuntime SystemRuntime.h "lldb/Target/SystemRuntime.h"
27/// A plug-in interface definition class for system runtimes.
28///
29/// The system runtime plugins can collect information from the system
30/// libraries during a Process' lifetime and provide information about how
31/// objects/threads were originated.
32///
33/// For instance, a system runtime plugin use a breakpoint when threads are
34/// created to record the backtrace of where that thread was created. Later,
35/// when backtracing the created thread, it could extend the backtrace to show
36/// where it was originally created from.
37///
38/// The plugin will insert its own breakpoint when Created and start
39/// collecting information. Later when it comes time to augment a Thread, it
40/// can be asked to provide that information.
41///
