I am experimenting with the LLDB SB API to add debug capability to a
compiler.
Right now I'd like to print out a backtrace when a program "crashes". Let's
define "crash" as "receive SIGILL or SIGSEGV".
I have a small routine that forks, runs the compiled program as a child,
and has the parent attach to the child. I get an SBProcess handle, and
then:
m_Process.Continue();
state = m_Process.GetState();
while (state != eStateExited) {
if (state == eStateStopped) {
dumpBackTrace();
m_Process.Detach(false);
break;
}
m_Process.Continue();
state = m_Process.GetState();
}
However, a process may stop for many reasons: it may hit a breakpoint, or
it may get a signal other than one that indicates a crash. In particular,
to synchronize parent and child, I have the child pause(), and the parent
sends SIGUSR1 once it's attached. I do not want the receipt of SIGUSR1 to
cause a backtrace.
So:
1. How do I determine that a process has entered eStateStopped because it
received a signal?
2. How do I determine which signal was received?
The Doxygen docs don't have any detail, and none of the C/Python examples
seem to go into this much detail.
