[lldb-dev] LLDB on Linux

[Greg Clayton]

Does it hang immediately? If so, I would step through the "Driver::MainLoop()" function and see what is going on. In this function we redirect stdin/out/error into the command interpreter and also initialize editline. Something is going wrong and the main loop is trying to exit and join one of the threads it spawned (probably thread 5). This works correctly on MacOSX and FreeBSD, so something is going wrong on linux that we do not expect. The main loop should initialize editline, and go into a loop where it just keeps gettings commands until the "quit" command is received and it then exits.
