[lldb-dev] Resuming traced process on Linux and SIGSTOP

[jingham at apple.com]

Somebody is not paying attention to the "process handle" settings.  Normally SIGSTOP is set not to pass:

(lldb) process handle SIGSTOP
NAME        PASS   STOP   NOTIFY
==========  =====  =====  ======
SIGSTOP     false  true   true 

This check should be done in Process::WillResume:

    virtual void
    WillResume (lldb::StateType resume_state)
    {
        ThreadSP thread_sp (m_thread_wp.lock());
        if (thread_sp)
        {
            if (thread_sp->GetProcess()->GetUnixSignals().GetShouldSuppress(m_value) == false)
                thread_sp->SetResumeSignal(m_value);
        }
    }

I wonder why this isn't happening in your case?
