[lldb-dev] Crashing thread from Core Dump

I am unfortunately not getting that behaviour out of lldb 330.0.44.

I'm running a small test file in order to try the behaviour out:

void threadTest(){
  int *a = nullptr;
  std::cout << *a << std::endl;
  std::abort();
}

int main(){
  auto t = std::thread(threadTest);
  t.join();

  return 0;
}

If I then attach lldb to the generated core file, and run thread list I get
the following output
(lldb) thread list
Process 0 stopped
* thread #1: tid = 0x0000, 0x00007fff88cf648a
libsystem_kernel.dylib`__semwait_signal + 10, stop reason = signal SIGSTOP
  thread #2: tid = 0x0001, 0x000000010126624b test`threadTest() + 27, stop
reason = signal SIGSTOP
