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