I am trying to run LLDB from the 3.8.0 release on a Debian 8 system. However, LLDB hangs during attach:
$ lldb /bin/ls
(lldb) target create “/bin/ls”
Current executable set to ‘/bin/ls’ (x86_64).
(lldb) r
At which point it hangs. From another window:
$ ps -eLf|grep djones
djones 32218 7418 32218 3 3 10:33 pts/18 00:00:00 lldb /bin/ls
djones 32218 7418 32224 0 3 10:33 pts/18 00:00:00 lldb /bin/ls
djones 32218 7418 32225 0 3 10:34 pts/18 00:00:00 lldb /bin/ls
So three threads are created. I’m not sure how far LLDB got in creating its target.
The 3.7 releases did this, on both Debian and Ubuntu 14.04LTS. However, the 3.8 release fixed this for Ubuntu. I had neglected to test this on Debian.
I am also using LLDB as a library in my own application. Tracing through that, my app hangs in the call to SBTarget::AttachToProcessWithID.
strace -f provides insight:
[pid 532] write(2, “: CommandLine Error: Option '”, 29) = 29
[pid 532] write(2, “debug”, 5) = 5
[pid 532] write(2, “’ registered more than once!\n”, 29) = 29
[pid 532] write(2, “LLVM ERROR: inconsistency in reg”…, 60) = 60
[pid 532] exit_group(1) = ?

It looks like the error message to the effect that an option was registered more than once never makes it out, causes child death, and the parent hangs waiting for a child that will never signal.

Is this a known issue?
