[Lldb-commits] [PATCH] Print a newline before exiting the driver.

[Stephane Sezer]

Hey Todd,

I see what you are talking about. If someone exits the debugger by typing `exit` then there is an empty new-line being printed. The reason why I wrote this patch in the first place is because I’m used to exit the debugger with ^D instead, which results in the shell prompt being printed right after the debugger prompt (lldb).

I think I could rework this patch to print the newline only on ^D instead of printing it all the time when we exit.

Could you consider reworking this perhaps to only add the extra \n if we're ending mid-line?  Or fix the systems that are ending mid-line and have them add the \n when shutting down (e.g. inferior process stdout/stderr)?
