[lldb-dev] Race condition in lldb-mi

[Greg Clayton]

You are doing the right thing. As Jim said any eStateStopped event must check for GetRestartedFromEvent() just in case.

LLDB-mi gets its notification and its starts getting information about frame. But the target has run again and lldb-mi may end up creating a garbage stack frame which persists because lldb clears frame in resume. When it stops at the real breakpoint (say at main), it ends up showing the same garbage stack frame. I tried to look into normal lldb to see how it deal with the entry breakpoint and it seems that GetRestartedFromEvent() does some magic.
