[lldb-dev] SBTarget::AttachToProcessWithID hangs

[Greg Clayton via lldb-dev]

A few questions:

Which process plug-in does your debugging target use? 
Is it a GDB Remote based debug session? 
   If so is it using lldb-server? 
   a custom GDB server?

In general, we expect to receive a eStateStopped process event if the attach is successful and this is what we are waiting for. If you have a custom Process subclass, you will need to make sure you stop your target and broadcast a eStateStopped event. If you are using GDB remote, please enable logging with the following line before calling AttachToProcessWithID:

debugger.HandleCommand("log enable -f /tmp/packets.txt gdb-remote packets");

Then run and watch things fail, and attach the log.
