[lldb-dev] Linux issues where I am not getting breakpoints...

[Greg Clayton via lldb-dev]

What is actually happening is we are stopped and handling the EntryBreakpoint and are in the process of trying to load all shared libraries, and then a signal (I am guessing) comes into the lldb-server and causes the target to resume. Not sure if that is due to the signal passing packet:

$QPassSignals:0e;1b;20;21;22;23;24;25;26;27;28;29;2a;2b;2c;2d;2e;2f;30;31;32;33;34;35;36;37;38;39;3a;3b;3c;3d;3e;3f;40#69

that gets sent these days. I will try removing this and seeing if it fixes anything.

Is there any logging I can enabled in lldb-server to catch the resume? I haven't looked at the code but I finally proved what was happening last night (target resumes while we are stopped at a breakpoint somehow). The program runs and exits and when the shared libraries are finally done loading, there is no connection to speak to.

Do we know why? On Mac, we get notified of shared libraries as they load so we never miss anything. Why are we not able to get the same thing with linux?

It's definitely possible (this works fine in gdb), but I don't know how, as the dynamic linker is still a big unknown to me. FWIW, I think I'll be messing with the dynamic loader plugin soon(ish), so I'll try to fix this then.
