-Then you can use lldb commands to debug both wamr runtime and your wasm application in ***current terminal***
+   * In the above example,
+
+     * The first `main` function, which is in `main.c`, is the main
+       function of the iwasm command.
+
+     * The second `main` function, which is in `hello.c`, is the main
+       function of the AOT-compiled wasm module.
+
+   * WAMR AOT debugging uses the GDB JIT loader mechanism to load
+     the debug info of the debugee module.
+     On some platforms including macOS, you need to enable it explicitly.
+     (`settings set plugin.jit-loader.gdb.enable on`)
