[lldb-dev] Java ::posix_spawnp permission denied

[Yin Ma]

Hello,

Thank you for so many replies. Actually, this problem is from one of 
our users. I am asking him more detail about this error.
What I know so far is he compiled .java to .exe by a certain compiler
and debugged .exe by lldb. It seems there is no limitation from lldb.
I will see what I can do for him. Really appreciate for your comments.

lldb doesn't know anything about launching Java applications.  At present lldb knows about ordinary Unix executables, in which case we pass the binary to posix_spawn, or a .app bundle, in which case we look up the Executable key in the bundle's Info.plist and pass that to posix_spawn.  I also don't know anything about how Java applications are packaged on OS X.  But it would not at all surprise me if it isn't straight-forward, in which case you will have to figure out what actually gets launched when running your Java application and get lldb to run that by hand somehow.
