Hi folks
On reading the documentation for lldb am I correct in understanding that
for a running inferior program being debugged by lldb, that the input
reader, i.e. the (lldb) prompt should be active at all times?
For instance, from "http://lldb.llvm.org/tutorial.html":
"The commands that currently work while running include interrupting the
process to halt execution ("process interrupt"), getting the process
status ("process status"), breakpoint setting and clearing (" breakpoint
[set|clear|enable|disable|list] ..."), and memory reading and writing ("
memory [read|write] ...")."
I interpret this to mean whenever debugging a program regardless of the
run/stop state of any of it's threads, lldb must always print:
(lldb)
after processing the last command, since we require an active prompt in
order to process the issuing of the above commands (from the lldb user)
when the inferior is running.
In that case I have found a bug on my 64-bit linux build. I firstly
launch lldb to debug a simple inferior (64-bit linux process), stop it
on entry, then resume it. The (lldb) prompt does not reappear after I
have resumed:
$ lldb ./forever
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named lldb.embedded_interpreter
Current executable set to './forever' (x86_64).
(lldb) process launch -s
Process 1901 launching
Process 1901 launched: './forever' (x86_64)
Process 1901 stopped
* thread #1: tid = 1901, 0x0000003675a011f0, name = 'forever', stop
reason = trace
frame #0: 0x0000003675a011f0

0x3675a011f8: movq %rax, %r12
0x3675a011fb: movl 0x21eb97(%rip), %eax
(lldb) process continue
Process 1901 resuming
Are other people seeing this bug?
thank you
