<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>this is a known problem and somewhat embarrassing problem, but unfortunately we haven't had time to look at that yet. The code that is doing that was added to support loading of the vdso, which is only present in the application memory (and it is a full elf file). I don't think anybody has realized the full implications of this when it was being added. Patches fixing this would be very wellcome.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 19 April 2017 at 15:17, Scott Funkenhauser via lldb-dev <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lldb-dev@lists.llvm.org" target="_blank">lldb-dev@lists.llvm.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12.8px">Hey,</span><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">I'm exploring using lldb-mi and lldb-server to remotely debug a process running on a Linux host.
