[Lldb-commits] [PATCH] D26676: Patch for lldb bug 26322 “core load hangs”

[Howard Hellyer via lldb-commits]

I'd assumed that gcore would ignore the coredump_filter setting but it turns out it doesn't so I should be able to use that. lldb seems happy enough opening the core files produced with a filter of 0 so it's probably the simplest solution.

I don't think lldb has a core file writer for Linux/ELF, process save-core doesn't seem to think it does. I'm not sure it would help in this case though - I need to make sure we can open core files created via gcore. Opening core files generated by lldb itself would be a separate test case. It's still quite a desirable feature, Linux does not really have a good API for creating core dumps. gcore is useful but it still means exec-ing another process.

I'll tidy up my test cases and try to generate at least 64 and 32 bit intel cores to go with them before adding them to this patch.
