Most of the time, we can use context information just fine to choose a language (i.e. the language of the frame that the root object was defined in, if any); but in some cases, synthetic children may be fabricated as root frame-less entities, and then we wouldn't know any better
This patch allows (internal) synthetic child providers to set a display language on the children they generate, should they so choose

It also comes with a (rudimentary) test case that gets itself in a failed update scenario, and checks that we don't crash
This is the easiest case I could think of that forces the failed update case Zachary was seeing

Function pointers had a summary generated for them bypassing formatters, directly as part of the ValueObject subsystem
This patch transitions that code into a hardcoded summary
llvm-svn: 223906
Because of the way they are created, synthetic children cannot (in general) have a sane expression path
A solution to this would be letting the parent front-end generate expression paths for its children
Doing so requires a significant amount of refactoring, and might not always lead to better results (esp. w.r.t. C++ templates)
This commit takes a simpler approach:
- if a synthetic child is of pointer type and it's a target pointer, then emit *((T)value)
- if a synthetic child is a non-pointer, but its location is in the target, then emit *((T*)loadAddr)
- if a synthetic child has a value, emit ((T)value)
- else, don't emit anything

track of the checksum of the object so we can
track if it is modified. This fixes a testcase
(test/expression_command/issue_11588) on OS X.
Patch by Enrico Granata.
llvm-svn: 223830
- adds a new flag to mark ValueObjects as "synthetic children generated"
- vends new Create functions as part of the SyntheticChildrenFrontEnd that set the flag automatically
- moves synthetic child providers over to using these new functions
No visible feature change, but preparatory work for feature change
llvm-svn: 223819
Such a persisted version is equivalent to evaluating the value via the expression evaluator, and holding on to the $n result of the expression, except this API can be used on SBValues that do not obviously come from an expression (e.g. are the result of a memory lookup)
Expose this via SBValue::Persist() in our public API layer, and ValueObject::Persist() in the lldb_private layer
Includes testcase
Fixes rdar://19136664
llvm-svn: 223711
Two flags are introduced:
- preferred display language (as in, ObjC vs. C++)
- summary capping (as in, should a limit be put to the amount of data retrieved)
The meaning - if any - of these options is for individual formatters to establish
The topic of a subsequent commit will be to actually wire these through to individual data formatters
llvm-svn: 221482
The recent StringPrinter changes made this behavior the default, and the setting defaults to yes
If you want to change this behavior and see non-printables unescaped (e.g. "a\tb" as "a b"), set it to false

The way to do this is to write a synthetic child provider for your type, and have it vend the (optional) get_value function.
If get_value is defined, and it returns a valid SBValue, that SBValue's value (as in lldb_private::Value) will be used as the synthetic ValueObject's Value
The rationale for doing things this way is twofold:
- there are many possible ways to define a "value" (SBData, a Python number, ...) but SBValue seems general enough as a thing that stores a "value", so we just trade values that way and that keeps our currency trivial
- we could introduce a new level of layering (ValueObjectSyntheticValue), a new kind of formatter (synthetic value producer), but that would complicate the model (can I have a dynamic with no synthetic children but synthetic value? synthetic value with synthetic children but no dynamic?), and I really couldn't see much benefit to be reaped from this added complexity in the matrix
On the other hand, just defining a synthetic child provider with a get_value but returning no actual children is easy enough that it's not a significant road-block to adoption of this feature
Comes with a test case
llvm-svn: 219330
Rationale:
Pretty simply, the idea is that sometimes type names are way too long and contain way too many details for the average developer to care about. For instance, a plain ol' vector of int might be shown as
std::__1::vector<int, std::__1::allocator<....
rather than the much simpler std::vector<int> form, which is what most developers would actually type in their code
Proposed solution:
Introduce a notion of "display name" and a corresponding API GetDisplayTypeName() to return such a crafted for visual representation type name
Obviously, the display name and the fully qualified (or "true") name are not necessarily the same - that's the whole point
LLDB could choose to pick the "display name" as its one true notion of a type name, and if somebody really needs the fully qualified version of it, let them deal with the problem
Or, LLDB could rename what it currently calls the "type name" to be the "display name", and add new APIs for the fully qualified name, making the display name the default choice
The choice that I am making here is that the type name will keep meaning the same, and people who want a type name suited for display will explicitly ask for one
It is the less risky/disruptive choice - and it should eventually make it fairly obvious when someone is asking for the wrong type
Caveats:
- for now, GetDisplayTypeName() == GetTypeName(), there is no logic to produce customized display type names yet.
- while the fully-qualified type name is still the main key to the kingdom of data formatters, if we start showing custom names to people, those should match formatters
llvm-svn: 209072
Set the correct FormatManager revision before starting to figure out the new formatters
This can avoid entering some corner cases where as part of figuring out formatters we try to figure out dynamic types, and in turn that causes us to go back in trying to fetch new formatters - it is not only a futile exercise, it's also prone to endless recursion
This would only cause a behavior change if getting this chain started would eventually cause something to run and alter the formatters, a very unlikely if at all possible sequence of events

This is a purely mechanical change explicitly casting any parameters for printf

For some reason, the libc++ vector<bool> data formatter was essentially a costly no-up, doing everything required of it, except actually generating the child values!

Revert the spirit of r199857 - a convincing case can be made that overriding a summary's format markers behind its back is not the right thing to do
This commit reverts the behavior of the code to the previous model, and changes the test case to validate the opposite of what it was validating before
llvm-svn: 201455
The many many benefits include:
1 - Input/Output/Error streams are now handled as real streams not a push style input
2 - auto completion in python embedded interpreter
3 - multi-line input for "script" and "expression" commands now allow you to edit previous/next lines using up and down arrow keys and this makes multi-line input actually a viable thing to use
4 - it is now possible to use curses to drive LLDB (please try the "gui" command)
We will need to deal with and fix any buildbot failures and tests and arise now that input/output and error are correctly hooked up in all cases.
llvm-svn: 200263
The "type format add" command gets a new flag --type (-t). If you pass -t <sometype>, upon fetching the value for an object of your type,
LLDB will display it as-if it was of enumeration type <sometype>
This is useful in cases of non-contiguous enums where there are empty gaps of unspecified values, and as such one cannot type their variables as the enum type,
but users would still like to see them as-if they were of the enum type (e.g. DWARF field types with their user-reserved ranges)
The SB API has also been improved to handle both types of formats, and a test case is added
llvm-svn: 198105
TypeFormatImpl used to just wrap a Format (and Flags for matching), and then ValueObject itself would do the printing deed
With this checkin, the responsibility of generating a value string is centralized in the data formatter (as it should, and already is for summaries)
This change is good practice per se, and should also enable us to extend the type format mechanism in a cleaner way

This patch adds a new lldb_private::SectionLoadHistory class that tracks what shared libraries were loaded given a process stop ID. This allows us to keep a history of the sections that were loaded for a time T. Many items in history objects will rely upon the process stop ID in the future.

pure virtual base class and made StackFrame a subclass of that. As
I started to build on top of that arrangement today, I found that it
wasn't working out like I intended. Instead I'll try sticking with
the single StackFrame class -- there's too much code duplication to
make a more complicated class hierarchy sensible I think.
llvm-svn: 193983
defines a protocol that all subclasses will implement. StackFrame
is currently the only subclass and the methods that Frame vends are
nearly identical to StackFrame's old methods.
Update all callers to use Frame*/Frame& instead of pointers to
StackFrames.
This is almost entirely a mechanical change that touches a lot of
the code base so I'm committing it alone. No new functionality is
added with this patch, no new subclasses of Frame exist yet.
I'll probably need to tweak some of the separation, possibly moving
some of StackFrame's methods up in to Frame, but this is a good
starting point.

Fixing a problem where ValueObject::GetPointeeData() would not accept "partial" valid reads (i.e. asking for 10 items and getting only 5 back)
While suboptimal, this situation is not a flat-out failure and could well be caused by legit scenarios, such as hitting a page boundary
Among others, this allows data formatters to print char* buffers allocated under libgmalloc

One of the things that dynamic typing affects is the count of children a type has
Clear out the flag that makes us blindly believe the children count when a dynamic type change is detected
llvm-svn: 193663
This commit reimplements the TypeImpl class (the class that backs SBType) in terms of a static,dynamic type pair
This is useful for those cases when the dynamic type of an ObjC variable can only be obtained in terms of an "hollow" type with no ivars
In that case, we could either go with the static type (+iVar information) or with the dynamic type (+inheritance chain)
With the new TypeImpl implementation, we try to combine these two sources of information in order to extract as much information as possible
This should improve the functionality of tools that are using the SBType API to do extensive dynamic type inspection
llvm-svn: 193564
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
llvm-svn: 192259
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
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
Test case to follow
llvm-svn: 191694
Now that SBValues can be setup to ignore synthetic values, this is no longer necessary, and so m_suppress_synthetic_value can go away
Another Hack Bites the Dust

SVN r189964 provided a sample Python script to inspect unordered(multi){set|map} with synthetic children, contribued by Jared Grubb
