new --raw-output (-R) option to frame variable prevents using summaries and synthetic children
other future formatting enhancements will be excluded by using the -R option
test case enhanced to check that -R works correctly
llvm-svn: 137185
- Completely new implementation of SBType
- Various enhancements in several other classes
Python synthetic children providers for std::vector<T>, std::list<T> and std::map<K,V>:
- these return the actual elements into the container as the children of the container
- basic template name parsing that works (hopefully) on both Clang and GCC
- find them in examples/synthetic and in the test suite in functionalities/data-formatter/data-formatter-python-synth
New summary string token ${svar :
- the syntax is just the same as in ${var but this new token lets you read the values
coming from the synthetic children provider instead of the actual children
- Python providers above provide a synthetic child len that returns the number of elements
into the container
Full bug fix for the issue in which getting byte size for a non-complete type would crash LLDB
Several other fixes, including:
- inverted the order of arguments in the ClangASTType constructor
- EvaluationPoint now only returns SharedPointer's to Target and Process
- the help text for several type subcommands now correctly indicates argument-less options as such
llvm-svn: 136504
added a final newline to fooSynthProvider.py
new option to automatically save user input in InputReaderEZ
checking for NULL pointers in several new places
llvm-svn: 135916
- you can now define a Python class as a synthetic children producer for a type
the class must adhere to this "interface":
def __init__(self, valobj, dict):
def get_child_at_index(self, index):
def get_child_index(self, name):
then using type synth add -l className typeName
(e.g. type synth add -l fooSynthProvider foo)
(This is still WIP with lots to be added)
A small test case is available also as reference
llvm-svn: 135865
(e.g. ${var%S}). this might already be the default if your variable is of an aggregate type
new feature: synthetic filters. you can restrict the number of children for your variables to only a meaningful subset
- the restricted list of children obeys the typical rules (e.g. summaries prevail over children)
- one-line summaries show only the filtered (synthetic) children, if you type an expanded summary string, or you use Python scripts, all the real children are accessible
- to provide a synthetic children list use the "type synth add" command, as in:
type synth add foo_type --child varA --child varB[0] --child varC->packet->flags[1-4]
(you can use ., ->, single-item array operator [N] and bitfield operator [N-M]; array slice access is not supported, giving simplified names to expression paths is not supported)
- a new -S option to frame variable and target variable lets you override synthetic children and instead show real ones
llvm-svn: 135731
- help type summary add now gives some hints on how to use it
frame variable and target variable now have a --no-summary-depth (-Y) option:
- simply using -Y without an argument will skip one level of summaries, i.e.
your aggregate types will expand their children and display no summary, even
if they have one. children will behave normally
- using -Y<int>, as in -Y4, -Y7, ..., will skip as many levels of summaries as
given by the <int> parameter (obviously, -Y and -Y1 are the same thing). children
beneath the given depth level will behave normally
-Y0 is the same as omitting the --no-summary-depth parameter entirely
This option replaces the defined-but-unimplemented --no-summary
llvm-svn: 135336
- you can use a Python script to write a summary string for data-types, in one of
three ways:
-P option and typing the script a line at a time
-s option and passing a one-line Python script
-F option and passing the name of a Python function
these options all work for the "type summary add" command
your Python code (if provided through -P or -s) is wrapped in a function
that accepts two parameters: valobj (a ValueObject) and dict (an LLDB
internal dictionary object). if you use -F and give a function name,
you're expected to define the function on your own and with the right
prototype. your function, however defined, must return a Python string
- test case for the Python summary feature
- a few quirks:
Python summaries cannot have names, and cannot use regex as type names
both issues will be fixed ASAP
major redesign of type summary code:
- type summary working with strings and type summary working with Python code
are two classes, with a common base class SummaryFormat
- SummaryFormat classes now are able to actively format objects rather than
just aggregating data
- cleaner code to print descriptions for summaries
the public API now exports a method to easily navigate a ValueObject hierarchy
New InputReaderEZ and PriorityPointerPair classes
Several minor fixes and improvements
llvm-svn: 135238
The reasom of the crash is because of a missing entry in the argument table corresponding to eArgTypeUnsignedInteger.
Add such entry and modify the call site of the crash to go through a fail-fast API to retrieve the argument table.
Add a regression test to TestHelp.py.
llvm-svn: 135206
Also made:
(lldb) !<NUM>
(lldb) !-<NUM>
(lldb) !!
work with the history. For added benefit:
(lldb) !<NUM><TAB>
will insert the command at position <NUM> in the history into the command line to be edited.
This is only partial, I still need to sync up editline's history list with the one kept by the interpreter.
llvm-svn: 134955
- a new --name option for "type summary add" lets you give a name to a summary
- a new --summary option for "frame variable" lets you bind a named summary to one or more variables
${var%s} now works for printing the value of 0-terminated CStrings
type format test case now tests for cascading
- this is disabled on GCC because GCC may end up stripping typedef chains, basically breaking cascading
new design for the FormatNavigator class
new template class CleanUp2 meant to support cleanup routines with 1 additional parameter beyond resource handle
llvm-svn: 134943
new GetValueForExpressionPath() method in ValueObject to navigate expression paths in a more bitfield vs slices aware way
changes to the varformats.html document (WIP)
llvm-svn: 134679
group class: OptionGroupVariable. It gets initialized with
a boolean that indicates if the frame specific options are
included so that this can be used in both the "frame variable"
and "target variable" commands.
Removed the global functionality from the "frame variable"
command. Users should switch to using the "target variable"
command.
llvm-svn: 134594
variables prior to running your binary. Zero filled sections now get
section data correctly filled with zeroes when Target::ReadMemory
reads from the object file section data.
Added new option groups and option values for file lists. I still need
to hook up all of the options to "target variable" to allow more complete
introspection by file and shlib.
Added the ability for ValueObjectVariable objects to be created with
only the target as the execution context. This allows them to be read
from the object files through Target::ReadMemory(...).
Added a "virtual Module * GetModule()" function to the ValueObject
class. By default it will look to the parent variable object and
return its module. The module is needed when we have global variables
that have file addresses (virtual addresses that are specific to
module object files) and in turn allows global variables to be displayed
prior to running.
Removed all of the unused proxy object support that bit rotted in
lldb_private::Value.
Replaced a lot of places that used "FileSpec::Compare (lhs, rhs) == 0" code
with the more efficient "FileSpec::Equal (lhs, rhs)".
Improved logging in GDB remote plug-in.
llvm-svn: 134579
_only_ in the resulting stream, not in the error objects (lldb_private::Error).
lldb_private::Error objects should always just have an error string with no
terminating newline characters or periods.
Fixed an issue with GDB remote packet detection that could end up deadlocking
if a full packet wasn't received in one chunk. Also modified the packet
checking function to properly toss one or more bytes when it detects bad
data.
llvm-svn: 134357
- type names can now be regular expressions (exact matching is done first, and is faster)
- integral (and floating) types can be printed as bitfields, i.e. ${var[low-high]} will extract bits low thru high of the value and print them
- array subscripts are supported, both for arrays and for pointers. the syntax is ${*var[low-high]}, or ${*var[]} to print the whole array (the latter only works for statically sized arrays)
- summary is now printed by default when a summary string references a variable. if that variable's type has no summary, value is printed instead. to force value, you can use %V as a format specifier
- basic support for ObjectiveC:
- ObjectiveC inheritance chains are now walked through
- %@ can be specified as a summary format, to print the ObjectiveC runtime description for an object
- some bug fixes
llvm-svn: 134293
the FormatManager class. Modified the format arguments in any commands to be
able to use a single character format, or a full format name, or a partial
format name if no full format names match.
Modified any code that was displaying formats to use the new FormatManager
calls so that our help text and errors never get out of date.
Modified the display of the "type format list" command to be a bit more
human readable by showing the format as a format string rather than the single
character format char.
llvm-svn: 133765
This commit adds a new top level command named "type". Currently this command
implements three commands:
type format add <format> <typename1> [<typename2> ...]
type format delete <typename1> [<typename2> ...]
type format list [<typename1> [<typename2>] ...]
This allows you to specify the default format that will be used to display
types when you use "frame variable" or "expression", or the SBValue classes.
Examples:
// Format uint*_t as hex
type format add x uint16_t uint32_t uint64_t
// Format intptr_t as a pointer
type format add p intptr_t
The format characters are the same as "printf" for the most part with many
additions. These format character specifiers are also used in many other
commands ("frame variable" for one). The current list of format characters
include:
a - char buffer
b - binary
B - boolean
c - char
C - printable char
d - signed decimal
e - float
f - float
g - float
i - signed decimal
I - complex integer
o - octal
O - OSType
p - pointer
s - c-string
u - unsigned decimal
x - hex
X - complex float
y - bytes
Y - bytes with ASCII

- Respect DESTDIR.
- Use the realpath function on the path before prepending DESTDIR.
- Don't depend on liblldb.{so,dylib} being installed already.
- Don't put the DESTDIR into the _lldb.so symlink.
Patch by Elias Pipping!
llvm-svn: 133689
SWIG on Darwin does not support -MT, and it only means that we lose
the .d target, which doesn't seem to be used or needed.
Pointed out by Charles Davis.
llvm-svn: 133660
This us useful because sometomes you have to show a single character as: 'a'
(using eFormatChar) and other times you might have an array of single
charcters for display as: 'a' 'b' 'c', and other times you might want to
show the contents of buffer of characters that can contain non printable
chars: "\0\x22\n123".
This also fixes an issue that currently happens when you have a single character
C string (const char *a = "a"; or char b[1] = { 'b' };) that was being output
as "'a'" incorrectly due to the way the eFormatChar format output worked.

libraries and headers exist. This can be specified using the platform select
function:
platform select --sysroot /Volumes/remote-root remote-macosx
Each platform subclass is free to interpret the sysroot as needed.
Expose the new SDK root directory through the SBDebugger class.
Fixed an issue with the GDB remote protocol where unimplemented packets were
not being handled correctly.
llvm-svn: 133231
not write output (prompts, instructions,etc.) if the CommandInterpreter
is in batch_mode.
Also, finish updating InputReaders to write to the asynchronous stream,
rather than using the Debugger's output file directly.
llvm-svn: 133162
embedded_interpreter.py file rather than keeping it
all in a string and compiling the string (easier to maintain,
easier to read, remove redundancy).
llvm-svn: 132935
- The Swig post-processing scripts are now run.
- edit-swig-python-wrapper-file.py has been modified so it can be run
from the Makefile.
- The issue that prompted me to pass -classic to swig is fixed by this,
so -classic isn't passed anymore.
Python shouldn't complain anymore about a missing method 'FindDebuggerByID'
on the SBDebugger object whenever lldb is run.
llvm-svn: 132383
- Make the generation of LLDBWrapPython.cpp respect the VERBOSE setting.
- Use -classic mode when generating. LLDPWrapPython.cpp #errors out if -classic
wasn't set when it was generated with recent Swig.
- Install the Python modules. Now we shouldn't get loads of Python errors
trying to run LLDB.
Last of my build fixes. The LLDB that I built works, except that I can't debug
anything with it until debugserver gets built.
llvm-svn: 131719
Removed the "image" command and moved it to "target modules". Added an alias
for "image" to "target modules".
Added some new target commands to be able to add and load modules to a target:
(lldb) target modules add <path>
(lldb) target modules load [--file <path>] [--slide <offset>] [<sect-name> <sect-load-addr> ...]
So you can load individual sections without running a target:
(lldb) target modules load --file /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib __TEXT 0x7fccc80000 __DATA 0x1234000000
Or you can rigidly slide an entire shared library:
(lldb) target modules load --file /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib --slid 0x7fccc80000
This should improve bare board debugging when symbol files need to be slid around manually.
llvm-svn: 130796
convenience variables (from the ExecutionContext) each time
it is entered: lldb.debugger, lldb.target, lldb.process,
lldb.thread, lldb.frame.
If a frame (or thread, process, etc) does not currently exist,
the variable contains the Python value 'None'.
llvm-svn: 130792
command line driver, including the lldb prompt being output by
editline, the asynchronous process output & error messages, and
asynchronous messages written by target stop-hooks.
As part of this it introduces a new Stream class,
StreamAsynchronousIO. A StreamAsynchronousIO object is created with a
broadcaster, who will eventually broadcast the stream's data for a
listener to handle, and an event type indicating what type of event
the broadcaster will broadcast. When the Write method is called on a
StreamAsynchronousIO object, the data is appended to an internal
string. When the Flush method is called on a StreamAsynchronousIO
object, it broadcasts it's data string and clears the string.
Anything in lldb-core that needs to generate asynchronous output for
the end-user should use the StreamAsynchronousIO objects.
I have also added a new notification type for InputReaders, to let
them know that a asynchronous output has been written. This is to
allow the input readers to, for example, refresh their prompts and
lines, if desired. I added the case statements to all the input
readers to catch this notification, but I haven't added any code for
handling them yet (except to the IOChannel input reader).
llvm-svn: 130721
new OptionGroup subclasses for:
- output file for use with options:
long opts: --outfile <path> --append--output
short opts: -o <path> -A
- format for use with options:
long opts: --format <format>
- variable object display controls for depth, pointer depth, wether to show
types, show summary, show location, flat output, use objc "po" style summary.
Modified ValueObjectMemory to be able to be created either with a TypeSP or
a ClangASTType.
Switched "memory read" over to use OptionGroup subclasses: one for the outfile
options, one for the command specific options, and one for the format.
llvm-svn: 130334
inline contexts when the deepest most block is not inlined.
Added source path remappings to the lldb_private::Target class that allow it
to remap paths found in debug info so we can find source files that are elsewhere
on the current system.
Fixed disassembly by function name to disassemble inline functions that are
inside other functions much better and to show enough context before the
disassembly output so you can tell where things came from.
Added the ability to get more than one address range from a SymbolContext
class for the case where a block or function has discontiguous address ranges.
