[Lldb-commits] [lldb] r202956 - Add support for JIT debugging on Linux using the GDB JIT interface. Patch written with Keno Fischer.

So the crash is coming (on OS X) only in the case where you use:

(lldb) process launch —shell=/bin/bash —

which we implement (as does gdb) by consing up a command like:

/bin/bash exec PROGNAME arg1 arg2 …

and then running that.  So the program exec’s a few times before it gets to the executable we are actually trying to debug.  If I don’t do that but just run the program directly, then I don’t get this crash.

I temporarily disabled the calling of the GetJITLoader().Did{Attach,Launch} till we fix the crash.

If I am debugging a process that doesn’t have this JIT loader symbol, this bit means every time that the process stops for any reason you will search the whole world for some symbol that won’t be found.  That’s something we really avoid doing if we can, programs get pretty big and this is not the sort of thing you want to do.
