[lldb-dev] non-stop mode with lldb-mi?

[Greg Clayton via lldb-dev]

Non-stop mode is a huge change to the core of LLDB isn’t it. I think you might think this is easier than it actually is to enable in LLDB? 

Is non-stop mode where you can leave some threads running while others are stopped? The biggest issue with this is to do it right we need to be able to emulate instructions so that if 3 threads hit breakpoints, we would need to emulate the instruction that used to be at the breakpoint in LLDB since we can’t remove the breakpoint (unless you stop the other threads which defeats the purpose of non-stop mode) without the other 2 threads possibly missing the breakpoint while you disable breakpoint, single step, enable breakpoint.
