[lldb-dev] LLDB 3.7 swallows real-time signals

Hello Eugene,

the reason for using raw numbers is that lldb is a cross platform
debugger, and you want to be able to do remote debugging where the
remote system has a different os/architecture. For this to work you
cannot rely on any constants from the host system when you are
compiling the client component. Therefore, we hardcoded the signal
numbers for x86(_64) in LinuxSignals, which until very recently was
the only supported linux architecture. However, you are right that
signal numbers differ across different architectures, so I guess we
will need to do a switch (or equivalent) here. I will create an issue
to track this.


Vince, that sounds like a reasonable thing to do. I will create an
issue for this as well.

cheers,
pl
