[lldb-dev] Different Behavior between Terminal and GUI simulated terminal

[jingham at apple.com]

Sorry, that's not what I meant.   The message I was referring to was in the thread "Async vs. sync" and I said:

The way the command line lldb works at present is that if you attach to a process (or run it with the stdio put to another terminal via the -tty option) then lldb runs in asynchronous mode. E.g.:

> lldb -n Calendar
Attaching to process with:
   process attach -n "Calendar"
Process 211 stopped
Executable module set to "/Applications/Calendar.app/Contents/MacOS/Calendar".
Architecture set to: x86_64-apple-macosx.
(lldb) c
Process 211 resuming

>>> I still have a command prompt, so for instance I can check status and interrupt

(lldb) process status
Process 211 is running.
(lldb) process interrupt
Process 211 stopped
* thread #1: tid = 0x0703, function: mach_msg_trap , stop reason = signal SIGSTOP
   frame #0: 0x00007fff8e531686 libsystem_kernel.dylib`mach_msg_trap
libsystem_kernel.dylib`mach_msg_trap + 10:
-> 0x7fff8e531686:  ret    
  0x7fff8e531687:  nop    

So we are running the command interpreter in "asynchronous" mode.  

So you see you will either get a prompt right away or not depending on how you start up the process you are debugging.  Note that if you use the --tty option or the --no-stdio when you launch a process you will also be in asynchronous mode.  But if you do an ordinary "process launch" with no options, you won't get a prompt till the process stops.

I sent a note to the list a couple of days ago describing when lldb uses the two modes, check that and see if it explains what you are seeing.  Otherwise, this may be some bug in the input driver?
