[ruby-core:96087] [Ruby master Bug#10495] Attaching lldb to a program running `sleep` hangs the VM

Issue #10495 has been updated by mame (Yusuke Endoh).

Status changed from Open to Closed

I tried the process on Ubuntu, but I couldn't reproduce the issue.  Maybe it is already fixed?  Tentatively closing.  Let me know if you still see the issue.

AFAIK there is no committer that daily uses `lldb` for ruby.  Contribution is welcome.

Bug #10495: Attaching lldb to a program running `sleep` hangs the VM

* Target version: 
* ruby -v: ruby 2.2.0dev (2014-10-19 trunk 48023) [x86_64-darwin13]

----------------------------------------
Here's the bit of Ruby code:

`loop do
  sleep 1
  puts 1
end`

Here's the lldb session:

    frame #19: 0x0000000109f5c4ef ruby`main + 79`

TL;DR : I'm asking Ruby to eval "puts 1". AFAICT, `gvl_acquire_common` that calls pthread's `native_sleep`/`pthread_cond_wait` never wakes up.

But, if I don't call `puts` (which would be, within lldb, equivalent to 'p (int)rb_eval_string("1")', the thread will continue running normally.

Please let me know if any info's missing.
Thanks in advance,
Franck
