[lldb-dev] How to redirect stdin/out/err to different pty?

[Piotr Rak]

Hi,

It should.
Have you opened master pseudoterminal like?:

int fd = posix_openpt(flags); // open("/dev/ptmx") might work here too but
less portable;
grantpt(fd);
unlockpt(fd);

Depending on target you might need some bizarre ioctls here, but assuming
you are using Linux/FreeBSD/MacOSX
you should be fine.

If you had already master pseudo-terminal file descriptor you can skip
steps above.

You can use ptsname for master file descriptor it will return you name of
slave pseudo-terminal for your master.
Later you can pass name returned by ptsname(fd) as Launch arguments.

If above won't work you can try replacing Launch() call with ordinary fork,
and in child process:

slavefd = open(slavename, O_RDWR);

dup2(0, slavefd);
dup2(1, slavefd);
dup2(2, slavefd);

And see if that works alone for you...

Good luck,
/Piotr
