[Lldb-commits] [lldb] [lldb] Release output lock across blocking el_wgetc in DisplayCompletions (PR #196686)

[Jonas Devlieghere via lldb-commits]

https://github.com/JDevlieghere created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/196686

DisplayCompletions held m_output_stream_sp->Lock() across the blocking el_wgetc() call used by the "More (Y/n/a)" pager. Because the lock is a recursive_mutex, this worked when Editline::Interrupt() ran on the same thread (the synchronous SIGINT handler), but deadlocks when Interrupt() runs on another thread: it blocks on the lock and can never call InterruptRead() to wake the editor thread.

Mirror the pattern already used by Editline::GetCharacter: drop the lock across the blocking read and reacquire it afterward. The status check and the "^C\n" / "\n" prints stay under the lock.

Subject: [PATCH] [lldb] Release output lock across blocking el_wgetc in
 DisplayCompletions

DisplayCompletions held m_output_stream_sp->Lock() across the blocking
el_wgetc() call used by the "More (Y/n/a)" pager. Because the lock is a
recursive_mutex, this worked when Editline::Interrupt() ran on the same
thread (the synchronous SIGINT handler), but deadlocks when Interrupt()
runs on another thread: it blocks on the lock and can never call
InterruptRead() to wake the editor thread.

Mirror the pattern already used by Editline::GetCharacter: drop the lock
across the blocking read and reacquire it afterward. The status check
and the "^C\n" / "\n" prints stay under the lock.
