[lldb-dev] What does this piece of hijack code do?

[Greg Clayton]

It will get all process events delivered to it (like the initial eStateStopped event) to make sure the attach succeeded. The it will likely re-post the event after unhijacking the process events so LLDB knows about it.

Attach either succeeds or fails immediately (when attaching to a pid or name), or waits when attaching to the next process by name. This can be interrupted by CTRL+C and there is some logic that deals with that.
