[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59156] __debug_octave__ does not detect correctly macos

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #59156 (project octave):

This is most likely a Mac issue which does not relate to __debug_octave__. 
ls.m invokes system() and system() calls fork() and that library call on Mac
platforms is different from traditional UNIX.  Alternatively, the debugger
often has a way to determine what happens when a fork occurs: Do you follow
the parent or the child?  If lldb is following the child then a new thread
might be created, the shell launched, the ls command executed, and then the
thread stops and lldb complains.  Here's a Stack Overflow reference that might
help on Mac:
