The options I see: 1. Default to `-X false` for CLI args: Arguments passed via `lldb prog -- args` have already been shell-expanded. Expanding them again is redundant and causes this bug. Shell expansion could remain enabled by default for args set within lldb's REPL, where it might actually be useful. 2. Escape glob characters: Effectively disables glob expansion for `*?[]`. Users who want expansion can use `process launch -X true`. This inverts the current default but is more predictable. 3. Escape only for zsh/fish/tcsh: These shells error on unmatched globs; bash/sh don't. Inconsistent, but preserves existing behavior where it works. 4. Better error message: At minimum, when argdumper fails, suggest `-X false` instead of the cryptic "shell expansion failed." I'd prefer (1), then (2). Shell expansion on already-expanded CLI args is more footgun than feature. https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/112107 _______________________________________________ lldb-commits mailing list [email protected] https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lldb-commits
