<br>
</div>The python support is one of the biggest strengths of LLDB and allows a lot of great things to be done. I would suggest trying to figure out what is going on and I am guessing things are going to be locking up within the following function:<br>
<br>
ScriptInterpreterPython::InitializePrivate()<br>
<br>
I see the same issue on MacOSX:<br>
<br>
9396 Thread_4108442 DispatchQueue_1: com.apple.main-thread (serial)<br>
9396 start (in libdyld.dylib) + 1 [0x7fff8eb175fd]<br>
9396 main (in lldb) + 27 [0x107a1720f]<br>
9396 lldb_private::Initialize() (in LLDB) + 268 [0x108b66c2c]<br>
9396 lldb_private::ScriptInterpreterPython::InitializePrivate() (in LLDB) + 742 [0x108c8da42]<br>
9396 lldb_private::TerminalState::Restore() const (in LLDB) + 74 [0x108c69268]<br>
9396 tcsetattr (in libsystem_c.dylib) + 114 [0x7fff8f7485a9]<br>
9396 ioctl (in libsystem_kernel.dylib) + 159 [0x7fff96508b00]<br>
9396 __ioctl (in libsystem_kernel.dylib) + 10 [0x7fff9650a24a]<br>

So the issue seems to be with the:<br>
<br>
TerminalState stdin_tty_state;<br>
stdin_tty_state.Save(STDIN_FILENO, false);<br>
<br>
and it locks up when we call:<br>
<br>
<br>
stdin_tty_state.Restore();<br>
<br>
You might run this in the foreground and see exactly what is saved during the call to stdin_tty_state.Save(...) and then add another:<br>
<br>
TerminalState stdin_tty_state2;<br>
stdin_tty_state2.Save(STDIN_FILENO, false);<br>
<br>
Then compare what is in stdin_tty_state with stdin_tty_state2 and see if python modified anything in the terminal states. If they are the same, we can probably skip these calls and avoid this issue.<br>

</div>How do you have an IDE that doesn't reap child processes? IDEs will kick off compilers and linkers and many other child processes and if you aren't reaping them you are creating zombies.<br>
