[Lldb-commits] [lldb] [lldb] Improved lldb-server stability for remote launching (PR #100659)

[Dmitry Vasilyev via lldb-commits]

https://github.com/slydiman created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/100659

We faced the issue running cross api tests in 8 threads. The executable is installed to the target by the process `lldb-server platform`, but launched by the another process `lldb-server gdbserver`. We got the error ETXTBSY on Linux and ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION on Windows. It seems the known issue and ProcessLauncherPosixFork.cpp already contains the workaround, but it is not enough. Updated the workaround with the total timeout 5 seconds and added the same workaround to ProcessLauncherWindows.cpp too.
