865+ // Install llvm's signal handlers up front to prevent lldb's handlers from
866+ // being ignored. This is (hopefully) a stopgap workaround.
867+ //
868+ // When lldb invokes an llvm API that installs signal handlers (e.g.
869+ // llvm::sys::RemoveFileOnSignal, possibly via a compiler embedded within
870+ // lldb), lldb's signal handlers are overriden if llvm is installing its
871+ // handlers for the first time.
872+ //
873+ // To work around llvm's behavior, force it to install its handlers up front,
874+ // and *then* install lldb's handlers. In practice this is used to prevent
875+ // lldb test processes from exiting due to IO_ERR when SIGPIPE is received.
876+ //
877+ // Note that when llvm installs its handlers, it 1) records the old handlers
878+ // it replaces and 2) re-installs the old handlers when its new handler is
879+ // invoked. That means that a signal not explicitly handled by lldb can fall
880+ // back to being handled by llvm's handler the first time it is received,
881+ // and then by the default handler the second time it is received.
