I investigated the bug yesterday, and filled some of my discoveries in
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43830
TLDR: libpython uses libreadline and lldb uses libedit, and that's a mess.
Hey Christos,
could I bother you to take a look at this python PR
<https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/16986>, and the related lldb bug
<https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43830>?
The executive summary is that there is an incompatibility between
readline and its libedit emulation, which python needs to work around.
Is there any way this can be fixed in libedit?
I guess the presence of the workaround will make the fix tricky, because
then the workaround will be wrong for the "fixed" libedit, but it's
still probably worth it to try to resolve this somehow.
WDYT?
pavel
