[lldb-dev] Fwd: Difference of behaviour of process.Continue() between MacOSX and Linux

[Louis Granboulan via lldb-dev]

Oups, I forgot to include the list in the reply to Pavel.
-------------------

No lldb-3.7 in http://llvm.org/apt/trusty/
lldb-3.8 is provided (I guess it is the svn version) and everything seems
OK.
It might be a good idea to mention on http://lldb.llvm.org/ (probably in
the "platform support" paragraph) that the support for Linux is not good
until 3.7.

Louis
