[lldb-dev] strange behaviour at lldb cmd line

[Ed Maste]

Hi Greg,

As far as I can tell what's happening here is just that
Process::Resume() completes and the next prompt is emitted (from the
main-thread?) before the IOHandler gets pushed in another thread.

Output from "log enable -n lldb process" with an added log printf
where ::Resume returns:

step
main-thread Process::Resume -- locking run lock
main-thread Process::PrivateResume() m_stop_id = 4, public state:
stopped private state: stopped
main-thread Process::SetPrivateState (running)
main-thread Process thinks the process has resumed.
internal-state(p Process::ShouldBroadcastEvent (0x80c410480) => new
state: running, last broadcast state: running - YES
main-thread Process::PrivateResume() returning
(lldb) internal-state(p Process::HandlePrivateEvent (pid = 15646)
broadcasting new state running (old state stopped) to public
wait4(pid=15646) MonitorChildProcessThreadFunction ::waitpid (pid =
15646, &status, options = 0) => pid = -15646, status = 0x0000057f
(STOPPED), signal = 5, exit_state = 0
internal-state(p PushIOHandler
wait4(pid=15646) Process::SetPrivateState (stopped)

As before, I don't see how we intend to enforce synchronization
between those two threads.  It looks like my tiny usleep in
::PrivateResume delays the next prompt just long enough for the other
IOHandler to be pushed.
