QtCreator / Ubuntu 22.04 / LLDB / __clone3()
-
Greetings !
I've installed latest QtCreator (12.0) on Ubuntu 22.04
with clang-17.I've built and trying to debug console multi-threaded utility.
The strange thing on my side is debugger make stops on every __clone3() call although I didn't set the breakpoint there.
As I understand it happens because of new thread is created here.
This is a bit annoying thing for me. Maybe somebody have idea how to avoid these stops ?
Thanks a lot !

I don't know anything about Creator 12, or whether there is a setting for this there. But I believe I recall the underlying gdb is set to break on creating a new process (clone3()should be for this, but I think that includes thread creation?). You can do a gdbsetcommand (e.g.follow-fork-mode?) to alter this sort of behaviour if this is the cause and you cannot find a dedicated setting for it. -
@JonB Thanks for suggestions !
However:- this is LLDB - not GDB.
- LLDB has similar settings (thanks again for this idea) - settings set target.process.follow-fork-mode <child | parent> . I have tried this setting (via .lldbinit and debugger log view both) - but no success.

@Dmytro-Bogovych OK. But have you tried lldb outside of Creator for this? Find out which one it is an issue in.

I've found the lldb stops on SIGSTOP signal.
After command in debugger log viewprocess handle SIGSTOP -n true -p true -s falselldb runs ok on thread starting - it doesn't break anymore.
However I don't understand how to add this command to run automatically on the start of debugger. Nor "Additional startup commands" not file ~/.lldbinit didn't help.
I can put this command into Debugging Helper Customization text box. In this case command works - however regular breakpoints don't work :)
