[lldb-dev] Losing prompt when running any python commands

[Malea, Daniel]

Yeah, after thinking about this a little more, I'm not sure how nice it will be to integrate libedit into the lldb source tree — it looks like lots of activity is going on in libedit upstream, and it will be annoying to tie ourselves to a single version, or to update the version we build against at some regular interval.

I had a chat with Sylvestre (cc'd; he's responsible for the Debian/Ubuntu llvm-toolchain packages) and he's looking into what it would take to update the libedit-dev version that we're all building against. If it's possible to just update everyone's libedit packages, I think that would be a more favourable route to a less buggy LLDB on Debian/Ubuntu :)

Cheers,
Dan

I think the license should be fine, but I'm not a lawyer.  The real question is how would you like it integrated in?  I'll take a look at pexpect and see how it was merged in.  At the very least I assume you'll want some way to allow the build system to use the system version instead.  Is there anything else that it needs to do?

What are your concerns with checking in an updated libedit (or another similar library like the zsh that Greg mentioned)? As far as I understand, the BSD licensing is permissive enough to do that, and there's other (albeit less critical) libraries checked into the LLDB source tree, such as pexpect.

I'm not sure we really want to move it into lldb though, but I'd say it's definitely a requirement if you want to use lldb on Linux.
