I'm building lldb with python3 support by using the framework that is shipped with the latest versions of Xcode.
I'm able to build and run lldb just fine but if I try to use the lldb python module on a python binary that is not the one from Xcode it segfaults when creating the module. I then tried with the stock lldb from Xcode and found the exact same issue ☹. I don’t think this was a problem before? I'm not sure why this happens and I wasn't able to debug the issue. I've already tried with a binary that has the exact same version of python but still the same problem: Works fine with the Xcode binary: $ PYTHONPATH=`lldb -P` /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Library/Frameworks/Python3.framework/Versions/3.7/bin/python3 Python 3.7.3 (default, Sep 18 2019, 14:29:06) [Clang 11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.8)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import lldb >>> Fails with any other: $ PYTHONPATH=`lldb -P` /Users/aadsm/.pyenv/versions/3.7.3/bin/python Python 3.7.3 (default, Nov 12 2019, 23:19:54) [Clang 11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.8)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import lldb Segmentation fault: 11 I attached lldb to see where it was failing and it's right after liblldb is loaded and python is trying to create the module itself, in the PyModule_Create2 function ( https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Objects/moduleobject.c#L173-L179 ). The disassembly shows: Process 89097 stopped * thread #1, queue = 'com.apple.main-thread', stop reason = EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x10) frame #0: 0x000000010f4cae5b Python3`PyModule_Create2 + 27 Python3`PyModule_Create2: -> 0x10f4cae5b <+27>: movq 0x10(%rax), %rdi 0x10f4cae5f <+31>: callq 0x10f5823b0 ; _PyImport_IsInitialized 0x10f4cae64 <+36>: testl %eax, %eax 0x10f4cae66 <+38>: je 0x10f4cae77 ; <+55> Target 0: (Python) stopped.

I’ve also checked the sys.abiflags and both binaries have the same ones. Has anyone experienced this before or has any pointers to debug it? - Afonso -- Best regards, António Afonso
