objects for the backlink to the lldb_private::Process. The issues we were
running into before was someone was holding onto a shared pointer to a
lldb_private::Thread for too long, and the lldb_private::Process parent object
would get destroyed and the lldb_private::Thread had a "Process &m_process"
member which would just treat whatever memory that used to be a Process as a
valid Process. This was mostly happening for lldb_private::StackFrame objects
that had a member like "Thread &m_thread". So this completes the internal
strong/weak changes.
Documented the ExecutionContext and ExecutionContextRef classes so that our
LLDB developers can understand when and where to use ExecutionContext and
ExecutionContextRef objects.
llvm-svn: 151009
the lldb_private::StackFrame objects hold onto a weak pointer to the thread
object. The lldb_private::StackFrame objects the the most volatile objects
we have as when we are doing single stepping, frames can often get lost or
thrown away, only to be re-created as another object that still refers to the
same frame. We have another bug tracking that. But we need to be able to
have frames no longer be able to get the thread when they are not part of
a thread anymore, and this is the first step (this fix makes that possible
but doesn't implement it yet).
Also changed lldb_private::ExecutionContextScope to return shared pointers to
all objects in the execution context to further thread harden the internals.
llvm-svn: 150871
internals. The first part of this is to use a new class:
lldb_private::ExecutionContextRef
This class holds onto weak pointers to the target, process, thread and frame
and it also contains the thread ID and frame Stack ID in case the thread and
frame objects go away and come back as new objects that represent the same
logical thread/frame.
ExecutionContextRef objcets have accessors to access shared pointers for
the target, process, thread and frame which might return NULL if the backing
object is no longer available. This allows for references to persistent program
state without needing to hold a shared pointer to each object and potentially
keeping that object around for longer than it needs to be.
You can also "Lock" and ExecutionContextRef (which contains weak pointers)
object into an ExecutionContext (which contains strong, or shared pointers)
with code like
ExecutionContext exe_ctx (my_obj->GetExectionContextRef().Lock());

Adding new API calls to SBValue to be able to retrieve the associated formatters
Some refactoring to FormatNavigator::Get() in order to shrink its size down to more manageable terms (a future, massive, refactoring effort will still be needed)
Test cases added for the above

New public API for handling formatters: creating, deleting, modifying categories, and formatters, and managing type/formatter association.
This provides SB classes for each of the main object types involved in providing formatter support:
SBTypeCategory
SBTypeFilter
SBTypeFormat
SBTypeSummary
SBTypeSynthetic
plus, an SBTypeNameSpecifier class that is used on the public API layer to abstract the notion that formatters can be applied to plain type-names as well as to regular expressions
For naming consistency, this patch also renames a lot of formatters-related classes.
Plus, the changes in how flags are handled that started with summaries is now extended to other classes as well. A new enum (lldb::eTypeOption) is meant to support this on the public side.
The patch also adds several new calls to the formatter infrastructure that are used to implement by-index accessing and several other design changes required to accommodate the new API layer.
An architectural change is introduced in that backing objects for formatters now become writable. On the public API layer, CoW is implemented to prevent unwanted propagation of changes.
Lastly, there are some modifications in how the "default" category is constructed and managed in relation to other categories.
llvm-svn: 150558
Tracking modules down when you have a UUID and a path has been improved.
DynamicLoaderDarwinKernel no longer parses mach-o load commands and it
now uses the memory based modules now that we can load modules from memory.
Added a target setting named "target.exec-search-paths" which can be used
to supply a list of directories to use when trying to look for executables.
This allows one or more directories to be used when searching for modules
that may not exist in the SDK/PDK. The target automatically adds the directory
for the main executable to this list so this should help us in tracking down
shared libraries and other binaries.
llvm-svn: 150426
indicate whether inline functions are desired.
This allows the expression parser, for instance,
to filter out inlined functions when looking for
functions it can call.
llvm-svn: 150279
user space programs. The core file support is implemented by making a process
plug-in that will dress up the threads and stack frames by using the core file
memory.
Added many default implementations for the lldb_private::Process functions so
that plug-ins like the ProcessMachCore don't need to override many many
functions only to have to return an error.
Added new virtual functions to the ObjectFile class for extracting the frozen
thread states that might be stored in object files. The default implementations
return no thread information, but any platforms that support core files that
contain frozen thread states (like mach-o) can make a module using the core
file and then extract the information. The object files can enumerate the
threads and also provide the register state for each thread. Since each object
file knows how the thread registers are stored, they are responsible for
creating a suitable register context that can be used by the core file threads.
Changed the process CreateInstace callbacks to return a shared pointer and
to also take an "const FileSpec *core_file" parameter to allow for core file
support. This will also allow for lldb_private::Process subclasses to be made
that could load crash logs. This should be possible on darwin where the crash
logs contain all of the stack frames for all of the threads, yet the crash
logs only contain the registers for the crashed thrad. It should also allow
some variables to be viewed for the thread that crashed.
llvm-svn: 150154
Fixed "target modules list" (aliased to "image list") to output more information
by default. Modified the "target modules list" to have a few new options:
"--header" or "-h" => show the image header address
"--offset" or "-o" => show the image header address offset from the address in the file (the slide applied to the shared library)
Removed the "--symfile-basename" or "-S" option, and repurposed it to
"--symfile-unique" "-S" which will show the symbol file if it differs from
the executable file.
ObjectFile's can now be loaded from memory for cases where we don't have the
files cached locally in an SDK or net mounted root. ObjectFileMachO can now
read mach files from memory.
Moved the section data reading code into the ObjectFile so that the object
file can get the section data from Process memory if the file is only in
memory.
lldb_private::Module can now load its object file in a target with a rigid
slide (very common operation for most dynamic linkers) by using:
bool
Module::SetLoadAddress (Target &target, lldb::addr_t offset, bool &changed)
lldb::SBModule() now has a new constructor in the public interface:
SBModule::SBModule (lldb::SBProcess &process, lldb::addr_t header_addr);
This will find an appropriate ObjectFile plug-in to load an image from memory
where the object file header is at "header_addr".
llvm-svn: 149804
instead of the __repr__. __repr__ is a function that should return an
expression that can be used to recreate an python object and we were using
it to just return a human readable string.
Fixed a crasher when using the new implementation of SBValue::Cast(SBType).
Thread hardened lldb::SBValue and lldb::SBWatchpoint and did other general
improvements to the API.
Fixed a crasher in lldb::SBValue::GetChildMemberWithName() where we didn't
correctly handle not having a target.

When used in conjunction with --inline-children, this option will cause the names of the values to be omitted from the output. This can be beneficial in cases such as vFloat, where it will compact the representation from
([0]=1,[1]=2,[2]=3,[3]=4) to (1, 2, 3, 4).
Added a test case to check that the new option works correctly.
Also took some time to revisit SummaryFormat and related classes and tweak them for added readability and maintainability.
Finally, added a new class name to which the std::string summary should be applied.

frames might go away (the object itself, not the actual logical frame) when
we are single stepping due to the way we currently sometimes end up flushing
frames when stepping in/out/over. They later will come back to life
represented by another object yet they have the same StackID. Now when you get
a lldb::SBFrame object, it will track the frame it is initialized with until
the thread goes away or the StackID no longer exists in the stack for the
thread it was created on. It uses a weak_ptr to both the frame and thread and
also stores the StackID. These three items allow us to determine when the
stack frame object has gone away (the weak_ptr will be NULL) and allows us to
find the correct frame again. In our test suite we had such cases where we
were just getting lucky when something like this happened:
1 - stop at breakpoint
2 - get first frame in thread where we stopped
3 - run an expression that causes the program to JIT and run code
4 - run more expressions on the frame from step 2 which was very very luckily
still around inside a shared pointer, yet, not part of the current
thread (a new stack frame object had appeared with the same stack ID and
depth).
We now avoid all such issues and properly keep up to date, or we start
returning errors when the frame doesn't exist and always responds with
invalid answers.
Also fixed the UserSettingsController (not going to rewrite this just yet)
so that it doesn't crash on shutdown. Using weak_ptr's came in real handy to
track when the master controller has already gone away and this allowed me to
pull out the previous NotifyOwnerIsShuttingDown() patch as it is no longer
needed.
llvm-svn: 149231
due to RTTI worries since llvm and clang don't use RTTI, but I was able to
switch back with no issues as far as I can tell. Once the RTTI issue wasn't
an issue, we were looking for a way to properly track weak pointers to objects
to solve some of the threading issues we have been running into which naturally
led us back to std::tr1::weak_ptr. We also wanted the ability to make a shared
pointer from just a pointer, which is also easily solved using the
std::tr1::enable_shared_from_this class.
The main reason for this move back is so we can start properly having weak
references to objects. Currently a lldb_private::Thread class has a refrence
to its parent lldb_private::Process. This doesn't work well when we now hand
out a SBThread object that contains a shared pointer to a lldb_private::Thread
as this SBThread can be held onto by external clients and if they end up
using one of these objects we can easily crash.
So the next task is to start adopting std::tr1::weak_ptr where ever it makes
sense which we can do with lldb_private::Debugger, lldb_private::Target,
lldb_private::Process, lldb_private::Thread, lldb_private::StackFrame, and
many more objects now that they are no longer using intrusive ref counted
pointer objects (you can't do std::tr1::weak_ptr functionality with intrusive
pointers).

Also added a few utilty functions that can be enabled for debugging issues
with modules staying around too long when external clients still have references
to them.

llvm-svn: 148425
Fixed two double "int close(int fd)" issues found by our file descriptor
interposing library on darwin:
The first is in SBDebugger::SetInputFileHandle (FILE *file, bool transfer_ownership)
where we would give our FILE * to a lldb_private::File object member variable and tell
it that it owned the file descriptor if "transfer_ownership" was true, and then we
would also give it to the communication plug-in that waits for stdin to come in and
tell it that it owned the FILE *. They would both try and close the file.
The seconds was when we use a file descriptor through ConnectionFileDescriptor
where someone else is creating a connection with ConnectionFileDescriptor and a URL
like: "fd://123". We were always taking ownwership of the fd 123, when we shouldn't
be. There is a TODO in the comments that says we should allow URL options to be passed
to be able to specify this later (something like: "fd://123?transer_ownership=1"), but
we can get to this later.
llvm-svn: 148201
and doing it both at the ModuleList and Module levels means we look 4 times for a negative

one.
llvm-svn: 148054
mmap() the entire object file contents into memory with MAP_PRIVATE.
We do this because object file contents can change on us and currently
this helps alleviate this situation. It also make the code for accessing
object file data much easier to manage and we don't end up opening the
file, reading some data and closing the file over and over.
llvm-svn: 148017
The previous approach to controlling the recursion was doing it from
outside the function which is not reliable. Now it is being done inside
the function. This might not solve all of the crashes that we were seeing
since there are other functions that clear the bit that indicates that
the summary is in the process of being generated, but it might solve some.
llvm-svn: 147741
so that we don't have "fprintf (stderr, ...)" calls sprinkled everywhere.
Changed all needed locations over to using this.
For non-darwin, we log to stderr only. On darwin, we log to stderr _and_
to ASL (Apple System Log facility). This will allow GUI apps to have a place
for these error and warning messages to go, and also allows the command line
apps to log directly to the terminal.
