This checkin adds the capability for LLDB to load plugins from external dylibs that can provide new commands
It exports an SBCommand class from the public API layer, and a new SBCommandPluginInterface
There is a minimal load-only plugin manager built into the debugger, which can be accessed via Debugger::LoadPlugin.
Plugins are loaded from two locations at debugger startup (LLDB.framework/Resources/PlugIns and ~/Library/Application Support/LLDB/PlugIns) and more can be (re)loaded via the "plugin load" command
For an example of how to make a plugin, refer to the fooplugin.cpp file in examples/plugins/commands
Caveats:
Currently, the new API objects and features are not exposed via Python.
The new commands can only be "parsed" (i.e. not raw) and get their command line via a char** parameter (we do not expose our internal Args object)
There is no unloading feature, which can potentially lead to leaks if you overwrite the commands by reloading the same or different plugins
There is no API exposed for option parsing, which means you may need to use getopt or roll-your-own
llvm-svn: 164865
Added the ability for OptionValueString objects to take flags. The only flag is currently for parsing escape sequences. Not the prompt string can have escape characters translate which will allow colors in the prompt.
Added functions to Args that will parse the escape sequences in a string, and also re-encode the escape sequences for display. This was looted from other parts of LLDB (the Debugger::FormatString() function).

Make breakpoint setting by file and line much more efficient by only looking for inlined breakpoint locations if we are setting a breakpoint in anything but a source implementation file. Implementing this complex for a many reasons. Turns out that parsing compile units lazily had some issues with respect to how we need to do things with DWARF in .o files. So the fixes in the checkin for this makes these changes:
- Add a new setting called "target.inline-breakpoint-strategy" which can be set to "never", "always", or "headers". "never" will never try and set any inlined breakpoints (fastest). "always" always looks for inlined breakpoint locations (slowest, but most accurate). "headers", which is the default setting, will only look for inlined breakpoint locations if the breakpoint is set in what are consudered to be header files, which is realy defined as "not in an implementation source file".
- modify the breakpoint setting by file and line to check the current "target.inline-breakpoint-strategy" setting and act accordingly
- Modify compile units to be able to get their language and other info lazily. This allows us to create compile units from the debug map and not have to fill all of the details in, and then lazily discover this information as we go on debuggging. This is needed to avoid parsing all .o files when setting breakpoints in implementation only files (no inlines). Otherwise we would need to parse the .o file, the object file (mach-o in our case) and the symbol file (DWARF in the object file) just to see what the compile unit was.
- modify the "SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap" to subclass lldb_private::Module so that the virtual "GetObjectFile()" and "GetSymbolVendor()" functions can be intercepted when the .o file contenst are later lazilly needed. Prior to this fix, when we first instantiated the "SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap" class, we would also make modules, object files and symbol files for every .o file in the debug map because we needed to fix up the sections in the .o files with information that is in the executable debug map. Now we lazily do this in the DebugMapModule::GetObjectFile()
Cleaned up header includes a bit as well.
llvm-svn: 162860
Added a new "interpreter" properties to encapsulate any properties for the command interpreter. Right now this contains only "expand-regex-aliases", so you can now enable (disabled by default) the echoing of the command that a regular expression alias expands to:
(lldb) b main
Breakpoint created: 1: name = 'main', locations = 1
Note that the expanded regular expression command wasn't shown by default. You can enable it if you want to:
(lldb) settings set interpreter.expand-regex-aliases true
(lldb) b main
breakpoint set --name 'main'
Breakpoint created: 1: name = 'main', locations = 1
Also enabled auto completion for enumeration option values (OptionValueEnumeration) and for boolean option values (OptionValueBoolean).
Fixed auto completion for settings names when nothing has been type (it should show all settings).
llvm-svn: 162418
- no setting auto completion
- very manual and error prone way of getting/setting variables
- tons of code duplication
- useless instance names for processes, threads
Now settings can easily be defined like option values. The new settings makes use of the "OptionValue" classes so we can re-use the option value code that we use to set settings in command options. No more instances, just "does the right thing".
llvm-svn: 162366
the expression returns nothing. There is now a
setting, "notify-void." When the user enables
that setting, lldb prints (void) if an expression's
result is void. Otherwise, lldb is silent.

Make sure our debugger STDIN read thread shuts down quickly when we are done with it. We had a case where the owner of the file handle was not closing it and caused spins.

Just call SBDebugger::SetTerminalWidth on the driver's SBDebugger, which does the same job, but no locks.
Also add the value checking to SetTerminalWidth you get with SetInternalVariable(..., "term-width", ...).

A new setting enable-synthetic-value is provided on the target to disable this behavior.
There also is a new GetNonSyntheticValue() API call on SBValue to go back from synthetic to non-synthetic. There is no call to go from non-synthetic to synthetic.
The test suite has been changed accordingly.
Fallout from changes to type searching: an hack has to be played to make it possible to use maps that contain std::string due to the special name replacement operated by clang
Fixing a test case that was using libstdcpp instead of libc++ - caught as a consequence of said changes to type searching
llvm-svn: 153495
Changes to synthetic children:
- the update(self): function can now (optionally) return a value - if it returns boolean value True, ValueObjectSyntheticFilter will not clear its caches across stop-points
this should allow better performance for Python-based synthetic children when one can be sure that the child ValueObjects have not changed
- making a difference between a synthetic VO and a VO with a synthetic value: now a ValueObjectSyntheticFilter will not return itself as its own synthetic value, but will (correctly)
claim to itself be synthetic
- cleared up the internal synthetic children architecture to make a more consistent use of pointers and references instead of shared pointers when possible
- major cleanup of unnecessary #include, data and functions in ValueObjectSyntheticFilter itself
- removed the SyntheticValueType enum and replaced it with a plain boolean (to which it was equivalent in the first place)
Some clean ups to the summary generation code
Centralized the code that clears out user-visible strings and data in ValueObject
More efficient summaries for libc++ containers

This fix really needed to happen as a previous fix I had submitted for
calculating symbol sizes made many symbols appear to have zero size since
the function that was calculating the symbol size was calling another function
that would cause the calculation to happen again. This resulted in some symbols
having zero size when they shouldn't. This could then cause infinite stack
traces and many other side affects.

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());
llvm-svn: 150801
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
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).

where we grabbed the variable list size from the wrong list (we needed it
from "args" and we were getting it from "variable_list_sp").
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
Switch from GetReturnValue, which was hardly ever used, to GetReturnValueObject
which is much more convenient.
Return the "return value object" as a persistent variable if requested.
llvm-svn: 147157
as part of the thread format output.
Currently this is only done for the ThreadPlanStepOut.
Add a convenience API ABI::GetReturnValueObject.
Change the ValueObject::EvaluationPoint to BE an ExecutionContextScope, rather than
trying to hand out one of its subsidiary object's pointers. That way this will always
be good.

something like "display/4i $pc" (or something like this). With LLDB we already
were showing 3 lines of source before and 3 lines of source after the current
source line when showing a stop context. We now improve this by allowing the
user to control the number of lines with the new "stop-line-count-before" and
"stop-line-count-after" settings. Also, there is a new setting for how many
disassembly lines to show: "stop-disassembly-count". This will control how many
source lines are shown when there is no source or when we have no source line
info.
settings set stop-line-count-before 3
settings set stop-line-count-after 3
settings set stop-disassembly-count 4
settings set stop-disassembly-display no-source
The default values are set as shown above and allow 3 lines of source before
and after (what we used to do) the current stop location, and will display 4
lines of disassembly if the source is not available or if we have no debug
info. If both "stop-source-context-before" and "stop-source-context-after" are
set to zero, this will disable showing any source when stopped. The
"stop-disassembly-display" setting is an enumeration that allows you to control
when to display disassembly. It has 3 possible values:
"never" - never show disassembly no matter what
"no-source" - only show disassembly when there is no source line info or the source files are missing
"always" - always show disassembly.

turned out to be unitialized data in the ProcessLaunchInfo default constructor.
Turning on MallocScribble in the environment helped track this down.
When we launch and attach using the host layer, we now inform the process that
it shouldn't detach when by calling an accessor.
llvm-svn: 144882
After recent changes we weren't reaping child processes resulting in many
zombie processes.
This was fixed by adding more settings to the ProcessLaunchOptions class
that allow clients to specify a callback function and baton to be notified
when their process dies. If one is not supplied a default callback will be
used that "does the right thing".
Cleaned up a race condition in the ProcessGDBRemote class that would attempt
to monitor when debugserver died.
Added an extra boolean to the process monitor callbacks that indicate if a
process exited or not. If your process exited with a zero exit status and no
signal, both items could be zero.
Modified the process monitor functions to not require a callback function
in order to reap the child process.

lldb_private::Error objects the rules are:
- short strings that don't start with a capitol letter unless the name is a
class or anything else that is always capitolized
- no trailing newline character
- should be one line if possible
Implemented a first pass at adding "--gdb-format" support to anything that
accepts format with optional size/count.

process IDs, and thread IDs, but was mainly needed for for the UserID's for
Types so that DWARF with debug map can work flawlessly. With DWARF in .o files
the type ID was the DIE offset in the DWARF for the .o file which is not
unique across all .o files, so now the SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap class will
make the .o file index part (the high 32 bits) of the unique type identifier
so it can uniquely identify the types.

inserted in commands by using backticks:
(lldb) memory read `$rsp-16` `$rsp+16`
(lldb) memory read -c `(int)strlen(argv[0])` `argv[0]`
The result of the expression will be inserted into the command as a sort of
preprocess stage where this gets done first. We might need to tweak where this
preprocess stage goes, but it is very functional already.
Added ansi color support to the Debugger::FormatPrompt() so you can use things
like "${ansi.fg.blue}" and "${ansi.bold}" many more. This helps in adding
colors to your prompts without needing to know the ANSI color code strings.

symbol context that represents an inlined function. This function has been
renamed internally to:
bool
SymbolContext::GetParentOfInlinedScope (const Address &curr_frame_pc,
SymbolContext &next_frame_sc,
Address &next_frame_pc) const;
And externally to:
SBSymbolContext
SBSymbolContext::GetParentOfInlinedScope (const SBAddress &curr_frame_pc,
SBAddress &parent_frame_addr) const;
The correct blocks are now correctly calculated.
Switched the stack backtracing engine (in StackFrameList) and the address
context printing over to using the internal SymbolContext::GetParentOfInlinedScope(...)
so all inlined callstacks will match exactly.
llvm-svn: 140910
shared pointers.
Changed the ExecutionContext over to use shared pointers for
the target, process, thread and frame since these objects can
easily go away at any time and any object that was holding onto
an ExecutionContext was running the risk of using a bad object.
Now that the shared pointers for target, process, thread and
frame are just a single pointer (they all use the instrusive
shared pointers) the execution context is much safer and still
the same size.
Made the shared pointers in the the ExecutionContext class protected
and made accessors for all of the various ways to get at the pointers,
references, and shared pointers.

stdarg formats to use __attribute__ format so the compiler can flag
incorrect uses. Fix all incorrect uses. Most of these are innocuous,
a few were resulting in crashes.

Set the default Source File & line to main (if it can be found.) at startup. Selecting the current thread & or frame resets
the current source file & line, and "source list" as well as the breakpoint command "break set -l <NUM>" will use the
current source file.

Renamed format "signed decimal" to be "decimal". "unsigned decimal" remains unchanged:
- the name "signed decimal" was interfering with symbol %S (use summary) in summary strings.
because of the way summary strings are implemented, this did not really lead to a bug, but
simply to performing more steps than necessary to display a summary. this is fixed.
Documentation improvements (more on synthetic children, some information on filters). This is still a WIP.
llvm-svn: 138384
e.g. you may get "foo_class @ 0x123456" when typing "type summary add -f ${var} foo_class"
- Added a new special formatting token %T for summaries. This shows the type of the object.
Using it, the new "type @ location" summary could be manually generated by writing ${var%T} @ ${var%L}
- Bits and pieces required to support "frame variable array[n-m]"
The feature is not enabled yet because some additional design and support code is required, but the basics
are getting there
- Fixed a potential issue where a ValueObjectSyntheticFilter was not holding on to its SyntheticChildrenSP
Because of the way VOSF are being built now, this has never been an actual issue, but it is still sensible for
a VOSF to hold on to the SyntheticChildrenSP as well as to its FrontEnd
