__attribute__ format so the compiler knows that this method takes
printf style formatter arguments and checks that it's being used
correctly. Fix a couple dozen incorrect SetErrorStringWithFormat()
calls throughout the sources.

Reduced the amount of memory required to avoid loops in DumpPrintableRepresentation() from 32 bits down to 1 bit
- Additionally, disallowed creating summary strings of the form ${var%S} which did nothing but cause endless loops by definition
llvm-svn: 139201
- introduced two new classes ValueObjectConstResultChild and ValueObjectConstResultImpl: the first one is a ValueObjectChild obtained from
a ValueObjectConstResult, the second is a common implementation backend for VOCR and VOCRCh of method calls meant to read through pointers stored
in frozen objects ; now such reads transparently move from host to target as required
- as a consequence of the above, removed code that made target-memory copies of expression results in several places throughout LLDB, and also
removed code that enabled to recognize an expression result VO as such
- introduced a new GetPointeeData() method in ValueObject that lets you read a given amount of objects of type T from a VO
representing a T* or T[], and doing dereferences transparently
in private layer it returns a DataExtractor ; in public layer it returns an instance of a newly created lldb::SBData
- as GetPointeeData() does the right thing for both frozen and non-frozen ValueObject's, reimplemented ReadPointedString() to use it
en lieu of doing the raw read itself
- introduced a new GetData() method in ValueObject that lets you get a copy of the data that backs the ValueObject (for pointers,
this returns the address without any previous dereferencing steps ; for arrays it actually reads the whole chunk of memory)
in public layer this returns an SBData, just like GetPointeeData()
- introduced a new CreateValueFromData() method in SBValue that lets you create a new SBValue from a chunk of data wrapped in an SBData
the limitation to remember for this kind of SBValue is that they have no address: extracting the address-of for these objects (with any
of GetAddress(), GetLoadAddress() and AddressOf()) will return invalid values
- added several tests to check that "p"-ing objects (STL classes, char* and char[]) will do the right thing
Solved a bug where global pointers to global variables were not dereferenced correctly for display
New target setting "max-string-summary-length" gives the maximum number of characters to show in a string when summarizing it, instead of the hardcoded 128
Solved a bug where the summary for char[] and char* would not be shown if the ValueObject's were dumped via the "p" command
Removed m_pointers_point_to_load_addrs from ValueObject. Introduced a new m_address_type_of_children, which each ValueObject can set to tell the address type
of any pointers and/or references it creates. In the current codebase, this is load address most of the time (the only notable exception being file
addresses that generate file address children UNLESS we have a live process)
Updated help text for summary-string
Fixed an issue in STL formatters where std::stlcontainer::iterator would match the container's synthetic children providers
Edited the syntax and help for some commands to have proper argument types
llvm-svn: 139160
register names when dumping variable locations and location lists. Also did
some cleanup where "int" types were being used for "lldb::RegisterKind"
values.
llvm-svn: 138988
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
plug-ins are add on plug-ins for the lldb_private::Process class that can add
thread contexts that are read from memory. It is common in kernels to have
a lot of threads that are not currently executing on any cores (JTAG debugging
also follows this sort of thing) and are context switched out whose state is
stored in memory data structures. Clients can now subclass the OperatingSystem
plug-ins and then make sure their Create functions correcltly only enable
themselves when the right binary/target triple are being debugged. The
operating system plug-ins get a chance to attach themselves to processes just
after launching or attaching and are given a lldb_private::Process object
pointer which can be inspected to see if the main executable, target triple,
or any shared libraries match a case where the OS plug-in should be used.
Currently the OS plug-ins can create new threads, define the register contexts
for these threads (which can all be different if desired), and populate and
manage the thread info (stop reason, registers in the register context) as
the debug session goes on.
llvm-svn: 138228
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
llvm-svn: 138080
- reorganizing classes layout to have public part first
Typedefs that we want to keep private, but must be defined for some public code to work correctly are an exception
- avoiding methods in the form T foo() { code; } all on one-line
- moving method implementations from .h to .cpp whenever feasible
Templatized code is an exception and so are very small methods
- generally, adhering to coding conventions followed project-wide
Functional changes:
- fixed an issue where using ${var} in a summary for an aggregate, and then displaying a pointer-to-aggregate would lead to no summary being displayed
The issue was not a major one because all ${var} was meant to do in that context was display an error for invalid use of pointer
Accordingly fixed test cases and added a new test case
llvm-svn: 137944
- all instances of "vobj" have been renamed to "valobj"
- class Debugger::Formatting has been renamed to DataVisualization (defined in FormatManager.h/cpp)
The interface to this class has not changed
- FormatCategory now uses ConstString's as keys to the navigators instead of repeatedly casting
from ConstString to const char* and back all the time
Next step is making the same happen for categories themselves
- category gnu-libstdc++ is defined in the constructor for a FormatManager
The source code for it is defined in gnu_libstdcpp.py, drawn from examples/synthetic at compile time
All references to previous 'osxcpp' name have been removed from both code and file names
Functional changes:
- the name of the option to use a summary string for 'type summary add' has changed from the previous --format-string
to the new --summary-string. It is expected that the short option will change from -f to -s, and -s for --python-script
will become -o
llvm-svn: 137886
Also change the SourceInitFile to look for .lldb-<APPNAME> and source that
preferentially if it exists.
Also made the breakpoint site report its address as well as its breakpoint number
when it gets hit and can't find any the associated locations (usually because the
breakpoint got disabled or deleted programmatically between the time it was hit
and reported.)
Changed ThreadPlanCallFunction to initialize the ivar m_func in the initializers of the
constructor, rather than waiting to initialize till later on in the function.
Fixed a bug where if you make an SBError and the ask it Success, it returns false.
Fixed ValueObject::ResolveValue so that it resolves a temporary value, rather than
overwriting the one in the value object.
llvm-svn: 137536
cause extra shared pointer references to one or more modules to be leaked.
This would cause many object files to stay around the life of LLDB, so after
a recompile and rexecution, we would keep adding more and more memory. After
fixing the leak, we found many cases where leaked stack frames were still
being used and causing crashes in the test suite. These are now all resolved.
llvm-svn: 137516
The converse is also true: an error is shown when the user tries to add a synthetic provider to a category that already has a filter for the same type
llvm-svn: 137493
*New setting target.max-children-count gives an upper-bound to the number of child objects that will be displayed at each depth-level
This might be a breaking change in some scenarios. To override the new limit you can use the --show-all-children (-A) option
to frame variable or increase the limit in your lldbinit file
*Command "type synthetic" has been split in two:
- "type synthetic" now only handles Python synthetic children providers
- the new command "type filter" handles filters
Because filters and synthetic providers are both ways to replace the children of a ValueObject, only one can be effective at any given time.
llvm-svn: 137416
Access to synthetic children by name:
if your object has a synthetic child named foo you can now type
frame variable object.foo (or ->foo if you have a pointer)
and that will print the value of the synthetic child
(if your object has an actual child named foo, the actual child prevails!)
this behavior should also work in summaries, and you should be able to use
${var.foo} and ${svar.foo} interchangeably
(but using svar.foo will mask an actual child named foo)
llvm-svn: 137314
event is removed. Also use the return value of asynchronous breakpoint callbacks, they get checked before, and override the
breakpoint conditions.
Added ProcessModInfo class, to unify "stop_id generation" and "memory modification generation", and use where needed.
llvm-svn: 137102
if your datatype provides synthetic children, "frame variable object[index]" should now do the right thing
in cases where the above syntax would have been rejected before, i.e.
object is not a pointer nor an array (frame variable ignores potential overload of [])
object is a pointer to an Objective-C class (which cannot be dereferenced)
expression will still run operator[] if available and complain if it cannot do so
synthetic children by name do not work yet
llvm-svn: 137097
- accordingly, the test cases for the synthetic providers for the std:: containers have been edited to use
${svar%#} instead of ${svar.len} to print out the count of elements ; the .len synthetic child has been
removed from the synthetic providers
The synthetic children providers for the std:: containers now return None when asked for children indexes >= num_children()
Basic code to support filter names based on regular expressions (WIP)
llvm-svn: 136862
The synthetic children providers now use the new (safer) APIs to get the values of objects
As a side effect, fixed an issue in ValueObject where ResolveValue() was not always updating the value before reading it
llvm-svn: 136861
- see the test case in lang/objc/objc-dynamic-value for an example
Objective-C dynamic type lookup now works for every Objective-C type
- previously, true dynamic lookup was only performed for type id
llvm-svn: 136763
Fixed a bug where Objective-C variables coming out of the expression parser could crash the Python synthetic providers:
- expression parser output has a "frozen data" component, which is a byte-exact copy of the value (in host memory),
if trying to read into memory based on the host address, LLDB would crash. we are now passing the correct (target)
pointer to the Python code
Objective-C "id" variables are now formatted according to their dynamic type, if the -d option to frame variable is used:
- Code based on the Objective-C 2.0 runtime is used to obtain this information without running code on the target
llvm-svn: 136695
- 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
- 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
Used hand merge to apply the diffs. I did not apply the diffs for FormatManager.h and
the diffs for memberwise initialization for ValueObject.cpp because they changed since.
I will ask my colleague to apply them later.
llvm-svn: 135508
The "systemwide summaries" feature has been removed and replaced with a more general and
powerful mechanism.
Categories:
- summaries can now be grouped into buckets, called "categories" (it is expected that categories
correspond to libraries and/or runtime environments)
- to add a summary to a category, you can use the -w option to type summary add and give
a category name (e.g. type summary add -f "foo" foo_t -w foo_category)
- categories are by default disabled, which means LLDB will not look into them for summaries,
to enable a category use "type category enable". once a category is enabled, LLDB will
look into that category for summaries. the rules are quite trivial: every enabled category
is searched for an exact match. if an exact match is nowhere to be found, any match is
searched for in every enabled category (whether it involves cascading, going to base classes,
...). categories are searched into the order in which they were enabled (the most recently
enabled category first, then the second most and so on..)
- by default, most commands that deal with summaries, use a category named "default" if no
explicit -w parameter is given (the observable behavior of LLDB should not change when
categories are not explicitly used)
- the systemwide summaries are now part of a "system" category
llvm-svn: 135463
- 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
- Summaries for char*, const char* and char[] are loaded at startup as
system-wide summaries. This means you cannot delete them unless you use
the -a option to type summary delete/clear
- You can add your own system-wide summaries by using the -w option to type
summary add
Several code improvements for the Python summaries feature
llvm-svn: 135326
- 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
- formats %s %char[] %c and %a now work to print 0-terminated c-strings if they are applied to a char* or char[] even without the [] operator (e.g. ${var%s})
- array formats (char[], intN[], ..) now work when applied to an array of a scalar type even without the [] operator (e.g. ${var%int32_t[]})
LLDB will not crash because of endless loop when trying to obtain a summary for an object that has no value and references itself in its summary string
In many cases, a wrong summary string will now display an "<error>" message instead of giving out an empty string
llvm-svn: 135007
- 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
use lldb_private::Target::ReadMemory(...) to allow constant strings
to be displayed in global variables prior on in between process
execution.
Centralized the variable declaration dumping into:
bool
Variable::DumpDeclaration (Stream *s, bool show_fullpaths, bool show_module);
Fixed an issue if you used "target variable --regex <regex>" where the
variable name would not be displayed, but the regular expression would.
Fixed an issue when viewing global variables through "target variable"
might not display correctly when doing DWARF in object files.
llvm-svn: 134878
Made it so that you can create synthetic children of array
value objects. This is for creating array members when the
array index is out of range. This comes in handy when you have
a structure definition like:
struct Collection
{
uint32_t count;
Item array[0];
};
"array" has 1 item, but many times in practice there are more
items in "item_array".
This allows you to do:
(lldb) target variable g_collection.array[3]
To implement this, the get child at index has been modified
to have a "ignore_array_bounds" boolean that can be set to true.
llvm-svn: 134846
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
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
would return instead of a less than helpful "name: '%s'" description.
Make sure that when we ask for the error from a ValueObject object we
first update the value if needed.
Cleaned up some SB functions to use internal functions and not re-call
through the public API when possible.
llvm-svn: 134497
- ${*expr} now simply means to dereference expr before actually using it
- bitfields, array ranges and pointer ranges now work in a (hopefully) more natural and language-compliant way
a new class TypeHierarchyNavigator replicates the behavior of the FormatManager in going through type hierarchies
when one-lining summary strings, children's summaries can be used as well as values
llvm-svn: 134458
- 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
implements three commands:
type summary add <format> <typename1> [<typename2> ...]
type summary delete <typename1> [<typename2> ...]
type summary list [<typename1> [<typename2>] ...]
type summary clear
This allows you to specify the default format that will be used to display
summaries for variables, shown when you use "frame variable" or "expression", or the SBValue classes.
Examples:
type summary add "x = ${var.x}" Point
type summary list
type summary add --one-liner SimpleType
llvm-svn: 134108
level in the public API.
Also modified the ValueObject values to be able to display global variables
without having a valid running process. The globals will read themselves from
the object file section data if there is no process, and from the process if
there is one.
Also fixed an issue where modifications for dynamic types could cause child
values of ValueObjects to not show up if the value was unable to evaluate
itself (children of NULL pointer objects).
llvm-svn: 134102
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
Added a fix for where you might have already displayed something with a given
type, then did a "type format add ...", then you display the type again. This
patch will figure out that the format changed and allow us to display the
type with the correct new format.
llvm-svn: 133743
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.
llvm-svn: 133316

stay around as long as that shared pointer stays around.
llvm-svn: 130035
expressions that are simple enough to get passed to the "frame var" underpinnings. The parser code will
have to be changed to also query for the dynamic types & offsets as it is looking up variables.
The behavior of "frame var" is controlled in two ways. You can pass "-d {true/false} to the frame var
command to get the dynamic or static value of the variables you are printing.
There's also a general setting:
target.prefer-dynamic-value (boolean) = 'true'
which is consulted if you call "frame var" without supplying a value for the -d option.
llvm-svn: 129623
public types and public enums. This was done to keep the SWIG stuff from
parsing all sorts of enums and types that weren't needed, and allows us to
abstract our API better.
llvm-svn: 128239
the way LLDB lazily gets complete definitions for types within the debug info.
When we run across a class/struct/union definition in the DWARF, we will only
parse the full definition if we need to. This works fine for top level types
that are assigned directly to variables and arguments, but when we have a
variable with a class, lets say "A" for this example, that has a member:
"B *m_b". Initially we don't need to hunt down a definition for this class
unless we are ever asked to do something with it ("expr m_b->getDecl()" for
example). With my previous approach to lazy type completion, we would be able
to take a "A *a" and get a complete type for it, but we wouldn't be able to
then do an "a->m_b->getDecl()" unless we always expanded all types within a
class prior to handing out the type. Expanding everything is very costly and
it would be great if there were a better way.
A few months ago I worked with the llvm/clang folks to have the
ExternalASTSource class be able to complete classes if there weren't completed
yet:
class ExternalASTSource {
....
virtual void
CompleteType (clang::TagDecl *Tag);
virtual void
CompleteType (clang::ObjCInterfaceDecl *Class);
};
This was great, because we can now have the class that is producing the AST
(SymbolFileDWARF and SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap) sign up as external AST sources
and the object that creates the forward declaration types can now also
complete them anywhere within the clang type system.
This patch makes a few major changes:
- lldb_private::Module classes now own the AST context. Previously the TypeList
objects did.
- The DWARF parsers now sign up as an external AST sources so they can complete
types.
- All of the pure clang type system wrapper code we have in LLDB (ClangASTContext,
ClangASTType, and more) can now be iterating through children of any type,
and if a class/union/struct type (clang::RecordType or ObjC interface)
is found that is incomplete, we can ask the AST to get the definition.
- The SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap class now will create and use a single AST that
all child SymbolFileDWARF classes will share (much like what happens when
we have a complete linked DWARF for an executable).
We will need to modify some of the ClangUserExpression code to take more
advantage of this completion ability in the near future. Meanwhile we should
be better off now that we can be accessing any children of variables through
pointers and always be able to resolve the clang type if needed.

by LLDB. Instead of being materialized into the input structure
passed to the expression, variables are left in place and pointers
to them are materialzied into the structure. Variables not resident
in memory (notably, registers) get temporary memory regions allocated
for them.
Persistent variables are the most complex part of this, because they
are made in various ways and there are different expectations about
their lifetime. Persistent variables now have flags indicating their
status and what the expectations for longevity are. They can be
marked as residing in target memory permanently -- this is the
default for result variables from expressions entered on the command
line and for explicitly declared persistent variables (but more on
that below). Other result variables have their memory freed.
Some major improvements resulting from this include being able to
properly take the address of variables, better and cleaner support
for functions that return references, and cleaner C++ support in
general. One problem that remains is the problem of explicitly
declared persistent variables; I have not yet implemented the code
that makes references to them into indirect references, so currently
materialization and dematerialization of these variables is broken.
llvm-svn: 123371
a method:
void RegisterContext::InvalidateIfNeeded (bool force);
Each time this function is called, when "force" is false, it will only call
the pure virtual "virtual void RegisterContext::InvalideAllRegisters()" if
the register context's stop ID doesn't match that of the process. When the
stop ID doesn't match, or "force" is true, the base class will clear its
cached registers and the RegisterContext will update its stop ID to match
that of the process. This helps make it easier to correctly flush the register
context (possibly from multiple locations depending on when and where new
registers are availabe) without inadvertently clearing the register cache
when it doesn't need to be.
Modified the ProcessGDBRemote plug-in to be much more efficient when it comes
to:
- caching the expedited registers in the stop reply packets (we were ignoring
these before and it was causing us to read at least three registers every
time we stopped that were already supplied in the stop reply packet).
- When a thread has no stop reason, don't keep asking for the thread stopped
info. Prior to this fix we would continually send a qThreadStopInfo packet
over and over when any thread stop info was requested. We now note the stop
ID that the stop info was requested for and avoid multiple requests.
Cleaned up some of the expression code to not look for ClangExpressionVariable
objects up by name since they are now shared pointers and we can just look for
the exact pointer match and avoid possible errors.
Fixed an bug in the ValueObject code that would cause children to not be
displayed.
llvm-svn: 123127
function and also hooked up better error reporting for when things fail.
Fixed issues with trying to display children of pointers when none are
supposed to be shown (no children for function pointers, and more like this).
This was causing child value objects to be made that were correctly firing
an assertion.

values or persistent expression variables. Now if an expression consists of
a value that is a child of a variable, or of a persistent variable only, we
will create a value object for it and make a ValueObjectConstResult from it to
freeze the value (for program variables only, not persistent variables) and
avoid running JITed code. For everything else we still parse up and JIT code
and run it in the inferior.
There was also a lot of clean up in the expression code. I made the
ClangExpressionVariables be stored in collections of shared pointers instead
of in collections of objects. This will help stop a lot of copy constructors on
these large objects and also cleans up the code considerably. The persistent
clang expression variables were moved over to the Target to ensure they persist
across process executions.
Added the ability for lldb_private::Target objects to evaluate expressions.
We want to evaluate expressions at the target level in case we aren't running
yet, or we have just completed running. We still want to be able to access the
persistent expression variables between runs, and also evaluate constant
expressions.
Added extra logging to the dynamic loader plug-in for MacOSX. ModuleList objects
can now dump their contents with the UUID, arch and full paths being logged with
appropriate prefix values.
Thread hardened the Communication class a bit by making the connection auto_ptr
member into a shared pointer member and then making a local copy of the shared
pointer in each method that uses it to make sure another thread can't nuke the
connection object while it is being used by another thread.
Added a new file to the lldb/test/load_unload test that causes the test a.out file
to link to the libd.dylib file all the time. This will allow us to test using
the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable after moving libd.dylib somewhere else.

cases when getting the clang type:
- need only a forward declaration
- need a clang type that can be used for layout (members and args/return types)
- need a full clang type
This allows us to partially parse the clang types and be as lazy as possible.
The first case is when we just need to declare a type and we will complete it
later. The forward declaration happens only for class/union/structs and enums.
The layout type allows us to resolve the full clang type _except_ if we have
any modifiers on a pointer or reference (both R and L value). In this case
when we are adding members or function args or return types, we only need to
know how the type will be laid out and we can defer completing the pointee
type until we later need it. The last type means we need a full definition for
the clang type.
Did some renaming of some enumerations to get rid of the old "DC" prefix (which
stands for DebugCore which is no longer around).
Modified the clang namespace support to be almost ready to be fed to the
expression parser. I made a new ClangNamespaceDecl class that can carry around
the AST and the namespace decl so we can copy it into the expression AST. I
modified the symbol vendor and symbol file plug-ins to use this new class.
llvm-svn: 118976
adding support into lldb_private::Process:
virtual uint32_t
lldb_private::Process::LoadImage (const FileSpec &image_spec,
Error &error);
virtual Error
lldb_private::Process::UnloadImage (uint32_t image_token);
There is a default implementation that should work for both linux and MacOSX.
This ability has also been exported through the SBProcess API:
uint32_t
lldb::SBProcess::LoadImage (lldb::SBFileSpec &image_spec,
lldb::SBError &error);
lldb::SBError
lldb::SBProcess::UnloadImage (uint32_t image_token);
Modified the DynamicLoader plug-in interface to require it to be able to
tell us if it is currently possible to load/unload a shared library:
virtual lldb_private::Error
DynamicLoader::CanLoadImage () = 0;
This way the dynamic loader plug-ins are allows to veto whether we can
currently load a shared library since the dynamic loader might know if it is
currenlty loading/unloading shared libraries. It might also know about the
current host system and know where to check to make sure runtime or malloc
locks are currently being held.
Modified the expression parser to have ClangUserExpression::Evaluate() be
the one that causes the dynamic checkers to be loaded instead of other code
that shouldn't have to worry about it.
llvm-svn: 118227
by type ID (the most common type of type lookup).
Changed the API logging a bit to always show the objects in the OBJECT(POINTER)
format so it will be easy to locate all instances of an object or references
to it when looking at logs.
llvm-svn: 117641
all of the calls inlined in the header file for better performance.
Fixed the summary for C string types (array of chars (with any combo if
modifiers), and pointers to chars) work in all cases.
Fixed an issue where a forward declaration to a clang type could cause itself
to resolve itself more than once if, during the resolving of the type itself
it caused something to try and resolve itself again. We now remove the clang
type from the forward declaration map in the DWARF parser when we start to
resolve it and avoid this additional call. This should stop any duplicate
members from appearing and throwing all the alignment of structs, unions and
classes.
llvm-svn: 117437
debug information and you evaluated an expression, a crash would occur as a
result of an unchecked pointer.
Added the ability to get the expression path for a ValueObject. For a rectangle
point child "x" the expression path would be something like: "rect.top_left.x".
This will allow GUI and command lines to get ahold of the expression path for
a value object without having to explicitly know about the hierarchy. This
means the ValueObject base class now has a "ValueObject *m_parent;" member.
All ValueObject subclasses now correctly track their lineage and are able
to provide value expression paths as well.
Added a new "--flat" option to the "frame variable" to allow for flat variable
output. An example of the current and new outputs:
(lldb) frame variable
argc = 1
argv = 0x00007fff5fbffe80
pt = {
x = 2
y = 3
}
rect = {
bottom_left = {
x = 1
y = 2
}
top_right = {
x = 3
y = 4
}
}
(lldb) frame variable --flat
argc = 1
argv = 0x00007fff5fbffe80
pt.x = 2
pt.y = 3
rect.bottom_left.x = 1
rect.bottom_left.y = 2
rect.top_right.x = 3
rect.top_right.y = 4
As you can see when there is a lot of hierarchy it can help flatten things out.
Also if you want to use a member in an expression, you can copy the text from
the "--flat" output and not have to piece it together manually. This can help
when you want to use parts of the STL in expressions:
(lldb) frame variable --flat
argc = 1
argv = 0x00007fff5fbffea8
hello_world._M_dataplus._M_p = 0x0000000000000000
(lldb) expr hello_world._M_dataplus._M_p[0] == '\0'
llvm-svn: 116532
bool ValueObject::GetIsConstant() const;
void ValueObject::SetIsConstant();
This will stop anything from being re-evaluated within the value object so
that constant result value objects can maintain their frozen values without
anything being updated or changed within the value object.
Made it so the ValueObjectConstResult can be constructed with an
lldb_private::Error object to allow for expression results to have errors.
Since ValueObject objects contain error objects, I changed the expression
evaluation in ClangUserExpression from
static Error
ClangUserExpression::Evaluate (ExecutionContext &exe_ctx,
const char *expr_cstr,
lldb::ValueObjectSP &result_valobj_sp);
to:
static lldb::ValueObjectSP
Evaluate (ExecutionContext &exe_ctx, const char *expr_cstr);
Even though expression parsing is borked right now (pending fixes coming from
Sean Callanan), I filled in the implementation for:
SBValue SBFrame::EvaluateExpression (const char *expr);
Modified all expression code to deal with the above changes.
llvm-svn: 115589
results. The clang opaque type for the expression result will be added to the
Target's ASTContext, and the bytes will be stored in a DataBuffer inside
the new object. The class is named: ValueObjectConstResult
Now after an expression is evaluated, we can get a ValueObjectSP back that
contains a ValueObjectConstResult object.
Relocated the value object dumping code into a static function within
the ValueObject class instead of being in the CommandObjectFrame.cpp file
which is what contained the code to dump variables ("frame variables").
llvm-svn: 115578
adding methods to C++ and objective C classes. In order to make methods, we
need the function prototype which means we need the arguments. Parsing these
could cause a circular reference that caused an assertion.
Added a new typedef for the clang opaque types which are just void pointers:
lldb::clang_type_t. This appears in lldb-types.h.
This was fixed by enabling struct, union, class, and enum types to only get
a forward declaration when we make the clang opaque qual type for these
types. When they need to actually be resolved, lldb_private::Type will call
a new function in the SymbolFile protocol to resolve a clang type when it is
not fully defined (clang::TagDecl::getDefinition() returns NULL). This allows
us to be a lot more lazy when parsing clang types and keeps down the amount
of data that gets parsed into the ASTContext for each module.
Getting the clang type from a "lldb_private::Type" object now takes a boolean
that indicates if a forward declaration is ok:
clang_type_t lldb_private::Type::GetClangType (bool forward_decl_is_ok);
So function prototypes that define parameters that are "const T&" can now just
parse the forward declaration for type 'T' and we avoid circular references in
the type system.

Error in object runtime language detection code (spurious '; ')
Also replace false by NULL in a place where the compiler expects a pointer instead of a bool.

- All single character options will now be printed together
- Changed all options that contains underscores to contain '-' instead
- Made the help come out a little flatter by showing the long and short
option on the same line.
- Modified the short character for "--ignore-count" options to "-i"

but could be extended. Also store the results of the ObjC Object Printer in a

function statics, file globals and static variables) that a frame contains.
The StackFrame objects can give out ValueObjects instances for
each variable which allows us to track when a variable changes and doesn't
depend on variable names when getting value objects.
StackFrame::GetVariableList now takes a boolean to indicate if we want to
get the frame compile unit globals and static variables.
The value objects in the stack frames can now correctly track when they have
been modified. There are a few more tweaks needed to complete this work. The
biggest issue is when stepping creates partial stacks (just frame zero usually)
and causes previous stack frames not to match up with the current stack frames
because the previous frames only has frame zero. We don't really want to
require that all previous frames be complete since stepping often must check
stack frames to complete their jobs. I will fix this issue tomorrow.

defines that are in "llvm/Support/MachO.h". This should allow ObjectFileMachO
and ObjectContainerUniversalMachO to be able to be cross compiled in Linux.
Also did some cleanup on the ASTType by renaming it to ClangASTType and
renaming the header file. Moved a lot of "AST * + opaque clang type *"
functionality from lldb_private::Type over into ClangASTType.
llvm-svn: 109046
enabled LLVM make style building and made this compile LLDB on Mac OS X. We
can now iterate on this to make the build work on both linux and macosx.
