When debugging with the GDB remote in LLDB, LLDB uses special packets to discover the
registers on the remote server. When those packets aren't supported, LLDB doesn't
know what the registers look like. This checkin implements a setting that can be used
to specify a python file that contains the registers definitions. The setting is:
(lldb) settings set plugin.process.gdb-remote.target-definition-file /path/to/module.py
Inside module there should be a function:
def get_dynamic_setting(target, setting_name):
This dynamic setting function is handed the "target" which is a SBTarget, and the
"setting_name", which is the name of the dynamic setting to retrieve. For the GDB
remote target definition the setting name is 'gdb-server-target-definition'. The
return value is a dictionary that follows the same format as the OperatingSystem
plugins follow. I have checked in an example file that implements the x86_64 GDB
register set for people to see:
examples/python/x86_64_target_definition.py
This allows LLDB to debug to any archticture that is support and allows users to
define the registers contexts when the discovery packets (qRegisterInfo, qHostInfo)
are not supported by the remote GDB server.
A few benefits of doing this in Python:
1 - The dynamic register context was already supported in the OperatingSystem plug-in
2 - Register contexts can use all of the LLDB enumerations and definitions for things
like lldb::Format, lldb::Encoding, generic register numbers, invalid registers
numbers, etc.
3 - The code that generates the register context can use the program to calculate the
register context contents (like offsets, register numbers, and more)
4 - True dynamic detection could be used where variables and types could be read from
the target program itself in order to determine which registers are available since
the target is passed into the python function.
This is designed to be used instead of XML since it is more dynamic and code flow and
functions can be used to make the dictionary.

This is implemented by means of a get_dynamic_setting(target, setting_name) function vended by the Python module, which can respond to arbitrary string names with dynamically constructed
settings objects (most likely, some of those that PythonDataObjects supports) for LLDB to parse
This needs to be hooked up to the debugger via some setting to allow users to specify which module will vend the information they want to supply

gdb-format a (as in p/a) would fail as it needed to set a byte size (unsurprisingly enough)
This should be acknowledged by the condition check and not cause a failure

Fixed Module::ResolveSymbolContextForAddress() to be able to also look in the SymbolVendor's SymbolFile's ObjectFile for a more meaningful symbol when a symbol lookup finds a synthetic symbol from the main object file. This will help lookups on MacOSX as the main executable might be stripped, but the dSYM file always has a full symbol table.

Added a way to set hardware breakpoints from the "breakpoint set" command with the new "--hardware" option. Hardware breakpoints are not a request, they currently are a requirement. So when breakpoints are specified as hardware breakpoints, they might fail to be set when they are able to be resolved and should be used sparingly. This is currently hooked up for GDB remote debugging.
Linux and FreeBSD should quickly enable this feature if possible, or return an error for any breakpoints that are hardware breakpoint sites in the "virtual Error Process::EnableBreakpointSite (BreakpointSite *bp_site);" function.

Just pass a Target* into ObjectFileELF::GetImageInfoAddress so that
it can do the extra dereference necessary on MIPS, instead of passing
a flag back to the caller.

MIPS's .dyanamic section is read-only. Instead of using DT_DEBUG for
the pointer to dyld information it uses a separate tag DT_MIPS_RLD_MAP
which points to storage in the read-write .rld_map section, which in
turn points to the dyld information.

Fixed an issue where environment variables that contained special characters '$' and '#' would hose up the GDB server packet. We now use the QEnvironmentHexEncoded packet that has existed for a long time when we need to. Also added code that will stop sending the QEnvironmentHexEncoded and QEnvironment packets if they aren't supported.

On at least FreeBSD and NetBSD there is an extra field in the dyld link
map struct. I've left an assert for other OSes (i.e., Linux/mips) until
it's determined if they do the same.

ObjectFile::CopyData is used to copy a block of target memory to the
caller's buffer (e.g. for "memory read"). This should be a straight
memcpy, and not byte-swapped if the target and host have different
endianness.
Add a new DataExtractor::CopyData() method that performs this straight
copy and use it in ObjectFile::CopyData().

Use 32-bit register enums without gaps on 64-bit hosts.
Don't show 64-bit registers when debugging 32-bit targets.
Add psuedo gpr registers (ax, ah, al, etc.)
Add mmx registers.
Fix TestRegisters.py to not read ymm15 register on 32-bit targets.
Fill out and move gcc/dwarf/gdb register enums to RegisterContext_x86.h

Constant ValueObjects should clear their description as well as their summary. Rationale being that both can depend on deeper-than-constified data
so both are subject to changes in "unpredictable" ways
To see this consider repeatedly po'ing a persistent variable of a type whose -description result changes at each invocation

Implement SBTarget::CreateValueFromAddress() with a behavior equivalent to SBValue::CreateValueFromAddress()

Formats (as in "type format") are now included in categories
The only bit missing is caching formats along with synthetic children and summaries, which might be now desirable
llvm-svn: 192217
This radar extends the notion of one-liner summaries to automagically apply in a few interesting cases
More specifically, this checkin changes the printout of ValueObjects to print on one-line (as if type summary add -c had been applied) iff:
this ValueObject does not have a summary
its children have no synthetic children
its children are not a non-empty base class without a summary
its children do not have a summary that asks for children to show up
the aggregate length of all the names of all the children is <= 50 characters
you did not ask to see the types during a printout
your pointer depth is 0
This is meant to simplify the way LLDB shows data on screen for small structs and similarly compact data types (e.g. std::pair<int,int> anyone?)
Feedback is especially welcome on how the feature feels and corner cases where we should apply this printout and don't (or viceversa, we are applying it when we shouldn't be)

DumpValueObject() 2.0
This checkin restores pre-Xcode5 functionality to the "po" (expr -O) command:
- expr now has a new --description-verbosity (-v) argument, which takes either compact or full as a value (-v is the same as -vfull)
When the full mode is on, "po" will show the extended output with type name, persistent variable name and value, as in
(lldb) expr -O -v -- foo
(id) $0 = 0x000000010010baf0 {
1 = 2;
2 = 3;
}
When -v is omitted, or -vcompact is passed, the Xcode5-style output will be shown, as in
(lldb) expr -O -- foo
{
1 = 2;
2 = 3;
}
- for a non-ObjectiveC object, LLDB will still try to retrieve a summary and/or value to display
(lldb) po 5
5
-v also works in this mode
(lldb) expr -O -vfull -- 5
(int) $4 = 5
On top of that, this is a major refactoring of the ValueObject printing code. The functionality is now factored into a ValueObjectPrinter class for easier maintenance in the future
DumpValueObject() was turned into an instance method ValueObject::Dump() which simply calls through to the printer code, Dump_Impl has been removed

- Removes the block in UnwindLLDB::AddOneMoreFrame that tests for a bad stack setup,
since it is neither correct (tests the FP GPR), complete (doesn't consider multi-frame
cycles), nor reachable (the construction of RegisterContextLLDB will fail in the case
where either of the two (why just two?) previous frames have the same canonical frame
address as the frame that we propose adding to the stack).

to build out the symbol table as addresses are used, and implements
the mechanism for ELF to add stripped symbols from eh_frame.
Uses this mechanism to allow disassembly for addresses corresponding
to stripped symbols for ELF, and provide hooks to implement this for
PE COFF.
Also removes eSymbolContextTailCall in favor of an option for
ResolveSymbolContextForAddress for consistency with the documentation
for eSymbolContextEverything. Essentially, this is just an option for
interpreting the so_addr.

default-at-first-instruction UnwindPlan if we're at the beginning of a function and
the ABI can provide us with an UnwindPlan to get out of there before falling back
to the generic architectural default UnwindPlan (which usually assumes that the stack
has already been set up.)
Update the FuncUnwinders methods to gracefully handle the case where an assembly
profiler may not be available.
Fix a bug where FuncUnwinders::GetUnwindPlanArchitectureDefaultAtFunctionEntry was
returning the wrong UnwindPlan to its caller.
