[lldb] Unify/improve MainLoop signal handling (#115197) Change the signal handler to use a pipe to notify about incoming signals. This has two benefits: - the signal no longer has to happen on the MainLoop thread. With the previous implementation, this had to be the case as that was the only way to ensure that ppoll gets interrupted correctly. In a multithreaded process, this would mean that all other threads have to have the signal blocked at all times. - we don't need the android-specific workaround, which was necessary due to the syscall being implemented in a non-atomic way When the MainLoop class was first implemented, we did not have the interrupt self-pipe, so syscall interruption was the most straight-forward implementation. Over time, the class gained new abilities (the pipe being one of them), so we can now piggy-back on those. This patch also changes the kevent-based implementation to use the pipe for signal notification as well. The motivation there is slightly different: - it makes the implementations more uniform - it makes sure we handle all kinds of signals, like we do with the linux version (EVFILT_SIGNAL only catches process-directed signals)
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.

The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
