            Bug ID: 38233
           Summary: LLDB build fails when done with GCC 8.1 against Python
                    3
           Product: lldb
           Version: 6.0
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: All Bugs
          Assignee: lldb-dev at lists.llvm.org

I don't know whether the issue is triggered by doing the build with GCC 8.1, or
by building on a system with only Python 3, or both, but the build of LLDB
crashes with:

-------------

I was able to work around the problem by removing the Python 2 part of
the conditional and replacing:

char *c;
c = PyUnicode_AsUTF8AndSize(m_py_obj, &size);

with:

const char *c = PyUnicode_AsUTF8AndSize(m_py_obj, &size);

That's obviously not ideal, but is a tolerable workaround for my purposes and I
don't have ready access to Python 2 on this system so I'm not sure how to
reconcile 2 and 3 properly.
