[lldb-dev] How to use the C++ API? No useful documentation?

[Paul Peet via lldb-dev]

Sorry to bring this up again, but I am not sure if this is really a
linux kernel issue anymore, see the following code:

if(event_type == SBProcess::eBroadcastBitStateChanged) {
  const StateType state = SBProcess::GetStateFromEvent(event);

  switch(state) {
    default:
      continue;
    case eStateStopped: {
      static bool runOnce = false;
      if(runOnce == false) {
        sleep(1); // sleep a second
        runOnce = true;
      }

      SBThread thread = process.GetThreadAtIndex(0);
      SBStream stream;

As I said before that strangely it worked on the vm with kernel 4.4 so
I tried using kernel 4.4 and it still didn't work.

Next thing I did was enabling lldb's logging and what I noticed was
that when the first thread plan is being made it had wrong instruction
information that's probably because the thread was still running. So
what I tried was this runOnce with a sleep(1) and the result was as I
expected, the thread plan contained the correct instruction
information and the following breakpoints and step-overs were
correctly made.

Any chance that this issue lies deep in lldb? Would the lldb log help
to trace back the issue?
