[lttng-dev] [PATCH lttng-ust] Fix: wait for initial statedump before proceding to the main program

Tue Jul 16 14:15:15 EDT 2019


In the case of short lived applications, a race condition may occur before
the initial statedump is done and the end of the application. We force the
statedump to occur before handing the control to the application.

fixes #1190
