>From 3f6198d5e448086956fd1108d7fd3145c728b189 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sergei Druzhkov <[email protected]> Date: Sat, 4 Jul 2026 13:49:50 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] [lldb] Reland stop-on-fork and stop-on-vfork settings Added support for new `target.process.stop-on-fork` and `target.process.stop-on-vfork` settings. GDB already has ability to set [catchpoints](https://www.sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb.html/Set-Catchpoints.html) on `fork` and `vfork`, so having this feature in LLDB might be useful (e.g. use it to get pid of new process and attach to the new process from different console). --- lldb/include/lldb/Target/Process.h | 2 + lldb/source/Target/Process.cpp | 12 ++++ lldb/source/Target/StopInfo.cpp | 14 ++-- lldb/source/Target/TargetProperties.td | 8 +++ .../API/functionalities/fork/stop/Makefile | 3 + .../fork/stop/TestStopOnForkAndVFork.py | 70 +++++++++++++++++++ .../test/API/functionalities/fork/stop/main.c | 18 +++++ lldb/test/Shell/Subprocess/stop-on-fork.test | 12 ++++ lldb/test/Shell/Subprocess/stop-on-vfork.test | 12 ++++ 9 files changed, 145 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 lldb/test/API/functionalities/fork/stop/Makefile create mode 100644 lldb/test/API/functionalities/fork/stop/TestStopOnForkAndVFork.py create mode 100644 lldb/test/API/functionalities/fork/stop/main.c create mode 100644 lldb/test/Shell/Subprocess/stop-on-fork.test create mode 100644 lldb/test/Shell/Subprocess/stop-on-vfork.test diff --git a/lldb/include/lldb/Target/Process.h b/lldb/include/lldb/Target/Process.h index 7b1424e6dfa59..80b3fa300971f 100644 --- a/lldb/include/lldb/Target/Process.h +++ b/lldb/include/lldb/Target/Process.h @@ -108,6 +108,8 @@ class ProcessProperties : public Properties { bool GetWarningsOptimization() const; bool GetWarningsUnsupportedLanguage() const; bool GetStopOnExec() const; + bool GetStopOnFork() const; + bool GetStopOnVFork() const; std::chrono::seconds GetUtilityExpressionTimeout() const; std::chrono::seconds GetInterruptTimeout() const; bool GetOSPluginReportsAllThreads() const; diff --git a/lldb/source/Target/Process.cpp b/lldb/source/Target/Process.cpp index 4360250b21475..d929f45419783 100644 --- a/lldb/source/Target/Process.cpp +++ b/lldb/source/Target/Process.cpp @@ -343,6 +343,18 @@ bool ProcessProperties::GetUseDelayedBreakpoints() const { idx, g_process_properties[idx].default_uint_value != 0); } +bool ProcessProperties::GetStopOnFork() const { + const uint32_t idx = ePropertyStopOnFork; + return GetPropertyAtIndexAs<bool>( + idx, g_process_properties[idx].default_uint_value != 0); +} + +bool ProcessProperties::GetStopOnVFork() const { + const uint32_t idx = ePropertyStopOnVFork; + return GetPropertyAtIndexAs<bool>( + idx, g_process_properties[idx].default_uint_value != 0); +} + std::chrono::seconds ProcessProperties::GetUtilityExpressionTimeout() const { const uint32_t idx = ePropertyUtilityExpressionTimeout; uint64_t value = GetPropertyAtIndexAs<uint64_t>( diff --git a/lldb/source/Target/StopInfo.cpp b/lldb/source/Target/StopInfo.cpp index c20b0ed07ee3c..80d7b3b4c2c01 100644 --- a/lldb/source/Target/StopInfo.cpp +++ b/lldb/source/Target/StopInfo.cpp @@ -1545,8 +1545,8 @@ class StopInfoFork : public StopInfo { bool ShouldStop(Event *event_ptr) override { // During expression evaluation, return true so that the fork event // reaches RunThreadPlan as a real stop (not auto-restarted by - // DoOnRemoval).
