Terminating plugin's thread in IDA does not terminate spawned decompilation process

[PeterMatula]

It is not enough to kill (qthread_kill()) decompilation thread using IDA SDK API. The decompilation process (retdec-decompiler.sh execution) which was created is not terminated.

I tried to use SDK's API for processes, but no luck so far. The matter is more compilated, because retdec-decompiler.sh itself launches other processes.

The code that handle this is not working good, it hangs sometimes don’t know why maybe when force closing ida pro. The code try to kill the running process blindly, and should use some kind of ways to detect if it’s really working not only look for variable if true or false.

This will probably be easier to solve once bash scripts are rewritten to Python.
