Now when LLDB reports a variable, it has a
complete type. Similarly, when it reports
members of a struct, it completes their types.
Also, when it creates the result variable for
an expression, it ensures that variable's type
is complete.
This ensures compliance with Clang's
expectations, preventing potential crashes.

Objective-C classes. This allows LLDB to find
ivars declared in class extensions in modules other
than where the debugger is currently stopped (we
already supported this when the debugger was
stopped in the same module as the definition).
This involved the following main changes:
- The ObjCLanguageRuntime now knows how to hunt
for the authoritative version of an Objective-C
type. It looks for the symbol indicating a
definition, and then gets the type from the
module containing that symbol.
- ValueObjects now report their type with a
potential override, and the override is set if
the type of the ValueObject is an Objective-C
class or pointer type that is defined somewhere
other than the original reported type. This
means that "frame variable" will always use the
complete type if one is available.
- The ClangASTSource now looks for the complete
type when looking for ivars. This means that
"expr" will always use the complete type if one
is available.
- I added a testcase that verifies that both
"frame variable" and "expr" work.
llvm-svn: 151214
indicate whether inline functions are desired.
This allows the expression parser, for instance,
to filter out inlined functions when looking for
functions it can call.
llvm-svn: 150279
LLVM/Clang. This brings in several fixes, including:
- Improvements in the Just-In-Time compiler's
allocation of memory: the JIT now allocates
memory in chunks of sections, improving its
ability to generate relocations. I have
revamped the RecordingMemoryManager to reflect
these changes, as well as to get the memory
allocation and data copying out fo the
ClangExpressionParser code. Jim Grosbach wrote
the updates to the JIT on the LLVM side.
- A new ExternalASTSource interface to allow LLDB to
report accurate structure layout information to
Clang. Previously we could only report the sizes
of fields, not their offsets. This meant that if
data structures included field alignment
directives, we could not communicate the necessary
alignment to Clang and accesses to the data would
fail. Now we can (and I have update the relevant
test case). Thanks to Doug Gregor for implementing
the Clang side of this fix.
- The way Objective-C interfaces are completed by
Clang has been made consistent with RecordDecls;
with help from Doug Gregor and Greg Clayton I have
ensured that this still works.
- I have eliminated all local LLVM and Clang patches,
committing the ones that are still relevant to LLVM
and Clang as needed.
I have tested the changes extensively locally, but
please let me know if they cause any trouble for you.
llvm-svn: 149775
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).
llvm-svn: 149207
for each ObjCInterfaceDecl was imposing performance
penalties for Objective-C apps. Instead, we now use
the normal function query mechanisms, which use the
relevant accelerator tables.
This fix also includes some modifications to the
SymbolFile which allow us to find Objective-C methods
and report their Clang Decls correctly.
llvm-svn: 148457
"id" from being found by the parser as an
externally-defined type. Before, "id" would
sometimes make it through if it was defined in
a namespace, but this sometimes caused
confusion, for example when it conflicted with
std::locale::id.
llvm-svn: 146891
the expression parser to locate instances where
dyn_cast<>() and isa<>() are used on types, and
replace them with getAs<>() as appropriate.
The difference is that dyn_cast<>() and isa<>()
are essentially LLVM/Clang's equivalent of RTTI
-- that is, they try to downcast the object and
return NULL if they cannot -- but getAs<>() can
traverse typedefs to perform a semantic cast.
llvm-svn: 146537
in the context in which it was originally found, the
expression parser now goes hunting for it in all modules
(in the appropriate namespace, if applicable). This means
that forward-declared types that exist in another shared
library will now be resolved correctly.
Added a test case to cover this. The test case also tests
"frame variable," which does not have this functionality
yet.
llvm-svn: 146204
symbols. Now we find the correct method.
Unfortunately we don't get the superclass from the
runtime yet so the method doesn't import correctly
(and I added a check to make sure that doesn't hurt
us) but once we get that information right we will
report methods correctly to the parser as well.
Getting superclass information requires a common AST
context for all Objective-C runtime information,
meaning that the superclass and the subclass are in
the same AST context in all cases. That is the next
thing that needs to be done here.
llvm-svn: 146089
from symbols more accessible, I have added a second
map to the ClangASTImporter: the ObjCInterfaceMetaMap.
This map keeps track of all type definitions found for
a particular Objective-C interface, allowing the
ClangASTSource to refer to all possible sources when
looking for method definitions.
There is a bug in lookup that I still need to figure out,
but after that we should be able to report full method
information for Objective-C classes shown in symbols.
Also fixed some errors I ran into when enabling the maps
for the persistent type store. The persistent type store
previously did not use the ClangASTImporter to import
types, instead using ASTImporters that got allocated each
time a type needed copying. To support the requirements
of the persistent type store -- namely, that types must be
copied, completed, and then completely severed from their
origin in the parser's AST context (which will go away) --
I added a new function called DeportType which severs all
these connections.
llvm-svn: 145914
in the face of failures to import types, since blithely
passing on NULL types can sometimes lead to trouble.
Also eliminated a use of getAs and replaced it with
dyn_cast, which is more robust.
llvm-svn: 145628
ClangASTSource::~ClangASTSource() was calling
ClangASTContext *scratch_clang_ast_context = m_target->GetScratchClangASTContext();
which had the side effect of deleting this very ClangASTSource instance. Not good.
Change it to
// We are in the process of destruction, don't create clang ast context on demand
// by passing false to Target::GetScratchClangASTContext(create_on_demand).
ClangASTContext *scratch_clang_ast_context = m_target->GetScratchClangASTContext(false);
The Target::GetScratchClangASTContext(bool create_on_demand=true) has a new signature.
llvm-svn: 145537
to find Objective-C class types by looking in the
symbol tables for the individual object files.
I did this as follows:
- I added code to SymbolFileSymtab that vends
Clang types for symbols matching the pattern
"_OBJC_CLASS_$_NSMyClassName," making them
appear as Objective-C classes. This only occurs
in modules that do not have debug information,
since otherwise SymbolFileDWARF would be in
charge of looking up types.
- I made a new SymbolVendor subclass for the
Apple Objective-C runtime that is in charge of
making global lookups of Objective-C types. It
currently just sends out type lookup requests to
the appropriate SymbolFiles, but in the future we
will probably extend it to query the runtime more
completely.
I also modified a testcase whose behavior is changed
by the fact that we now actually return an Objective-C
type for __NSCFString.
llvm-svn: 145526
management of what allocations remain after an
expression finishes executing. This saves around
2.5KiB per expression for simple expressions.
llvm-svn: 145342
to allow variables in the persistent variable store to know
how to complete themselves from debug information. That
fixes a variety of bugs during dematerialization of
expression results and also makes persistent variable and
result variables ($foo, $4, ...) more useful.
I have also added logging improvements that make it much
easier to figure out how types are moving from place to
place, and made some checking a little more aggressive.
The commit includes patches to Clang which are currently being
integrated into Clang proper; once these fixes are in Clang
top-of-tree, these patches will be removed. The patches don't
fix API; rather, they fix some internal bugs in Clang's
ASTImporter that were exposed when LLDB was moving types from
place to place multiple times.
llvm-svn: 144969
rather than individually on behalf of each
ASTContext. This allows the ASTImporter to know
about all containers of types, which will let it
be smarter about forwarding information about
type origins. That means that the following
sequence of steps will be possible (after a few
more changes):
- Import a type from a Module's ASTContext into
an expression parser ASTContext, tracking its
origin information -- this works now.
- Because the result of the expression uses that
type, import it from the expression parser
ASTContext into the Target's scratch AST
context, forwarding the origin information --
this needs to be added.
- For a later expression that uses the result,
import the type from the Target's scratch AST
context, still forwarding origin information
-- this also needs to be added.
- Use the intact origin information to complete
the type as needed -- this works now if the
origin information is present.
To this end, I made the following changes:
- ASTImporter top-level copy functions now
require both a source and a destination AST
context parameter.
- The ASTImporter now knows how to purge
records related to an ASTContext that is
going away.
- The Target now owns and creates the ASTImporter
whenever the main executable changes or (in the
absence of a main executable) on demand.
llvm-svn: 144802
of problems with Objective-C object completion. To go
along with the LLVM/Clang-side fixes, we have a variety
of Objective-C improvements.
Fixes include:
- It is now possible to run expressions when stopped in
an Objective-C class method and have "self" act just
like "self" would act in the class method itself (i.e.,
[self classMethod] works without casting the return
type if debug info is present). To accomplish this,
the expression masquerades as a class method added by
a category.
- Objective-C objects can now provide methods and
properties and methods to Clang on demand (i.e., the
ASTImporter sets hasExternalVisibleDecls on Objective-C
interface objects).
- Objective-C built-in types, which had long been a bone
of contention (should we be using "id"? "id*"?), are
now fetched correctly using accessor functions on
ClangASTContext. We inhibit searches for them in the
debug information.
There are also a variety of logging fixes, and I made two
changes to the test suite:
- Enabled a test case for Objective-C properties in the
current translation unit.
- Added a test case for calling Objective-C class methods
when stopped in a class method.
llvm-svn: 144607
interfaces. This allows us to pull in Objective-C
method types on demand, which is also now implemented.
Also added a minor fix to prevent multiple-definition
errors for "Class" and "id".
llvm-svn: 144405
lookups for Objective-C methods by selector.
Right now all it does is print log information.
Also improved the logging for imported TagDecls
to indicate whether or not the definition for
the imported TagDecl is complete.
llvm-svn: 144203
ClangExpressionDeclMap to ClangASTSource, and
moved all general type and namespace lookups
into ClangASTSource. Now ClangASTSource is ready
to complete types given nothing more than a target
and an AST context.
llvm-svn: 143292
AST importer on completing namespace mappings from
ClangExpressionDeclMap to ClangASTSource.
ClangASTSource now contains a TargetSP which it
uses to lookup namespaces in all of a target's
modules. I will use the TargetSP in the future to
look up globals.
llvm-svn: 143275
allow it to complete types on behalf of any AST context
(including the "scratch" AST context associated with
the target), I scrapped its role as intermediary between
the Clang parser and ClangExpressionDeclMap, and instead
made ClangExpressionDeclMap inherit from ClangASTSource.
After this, I will migrate the functions that complete
types and perform namespace lookups from
ClangExpressionDeclMap to ClangASTSource. Ultimately
ClangExpressionDeclMap's only responsiblity will be to
look up variables and ensure that they are materialized
and dematerialized correctly.
llvm-svn: 143253
of namespaces (only in the modules where they've
been found) for entities inside those namespaces.
For each NamespaceDecl that has been imported into
the parser, we maintain a map containing
[ModuleSP, ClangNamespaceDecl] pairs in the ASTImporter.
This map has one entry for each module in which the
namespace has been found. When we later scan for an
entity inside a namespace, we search only the modules
in which that namespace was found.
Also made a small whitespace fix in
ClangExpressionParser.cpp.
llvm-svn: 141748
This involved minor changes to the way we report Objective-C
methods, as well as cosmetic changes and added parameters
for a variety of Clang APIs.
llvm-svn: 141437
We had some cases where getting the shared pointer for a module from
the global module list was causing a performance issue when debugging
with DWARF in .o files. Now that the module uses intrusive ref counts,
we can easily convert any pointer to a shared pointer.
llvm-svn: 139983
completes the support in the LLDB expression parser
for incomplete types. Clang now imports types
lazily, and we complete those types as necessary.
Changes include:
- ClangASTSource now supports three APIs which it
passes to ClangExpressionDeclMap. CompleteType
completes a TagDecl or an ObjCInterfaceDecl when
needed; FindExternalVisibleDecls finds named
entities that are visible in the expression's
scope; and FindExternalLexicalDecls performs a
(potentially restricted) search for entities
inside a lexical scope like a namespace. These
changes mean that entities in namespaces should
work normally.
- The SymbolFileDWARF code for searching a context
for a specific name is now more general, and can
search arbitrary contexts.
- We are continuing to adapt our calls into LLVM
from interfaces that take start and end iterators
when accepting multiple items to interfaces that
use ArrayRef.
- I have cleaned up some code, especially our use
of namespaces.
This change is neutral for our testsuite and greatly
improves correctness for large programs (like Clang)
with complicated type systems. It should also lay
the groundwork for improving the expression parser's
performance as we are lazier and lazier about
providing type information.
llvm-svn: 136555
inspection of namespaces in the expression parser.
ClangExpressionDeclMap hitherto reported that namespaces had
been completely imported, even though the namespaces are
returned empty. To deal with this situation, ClangASTSource
was recently extended with an API to complete incomplete type
definitions, and, for greater efficiency, to complete these
definitions partially, returning only those objects that have
a given name.
This commit supports these APIs on LLDB's side, and uses it
to provide information on types resident in namespaces.
Namespaces are now imported as they were -- that is to say,
empty -- but with minimal import mode on. This means that
Clang will come back and request their contents by name as
needed. We now respond with information on the contained
types; this will be followed soon by information on functions
and variables.
llvm-svn: 133852
representing variables whose type must be inferred
from the way they are used. Functions without debug
information now return UnknownAnyTy and must be cast.
Variables with no debug information are not yet using
UnknownAnyTy; instead they are assumed to be void*.
Support for variables of unknown type is coming (and,
in fact, some relevant support functions are included
in this commit) but will take a bit of extra effort.
The testsuite has also been updated to reflect the new
requirement that the result of printf be cast, i.e.
expr (int) printf("Hello world!")
llvm-svn: 131263
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.
llvm-svn: 123613
access to the members of the Objective-C self object.
The approach we take is to generate the method as a
@category on top of the self object, and to pass the
"self" pointer to it. (_cmd is currently NULL.)
Most changes are in ClangExpressionDeclMap, but the
change that adds support to the ABIs to pass _cmd
touches a fair amount of code.
llvm-svn: 121722
so that it is not referring to potentially stale
state during IR execution.
This was done by introducing modular state (like
ClangExpressionVariable) where groups of state
variables have well-defined lifetimes:
- m_parser_vars are specific to parsing, and only
exist between calls to WillParse() and DidParse().
- m_struct_vars survive for the entire execution
of the ClangExpressionDeclMap because they
provide the template for a materialized set of
expression variables.
- m_material_vars are specific to a single
instance of materialization, and only exist
between calls to Materialize() and
Dematerialize().
I also removed unnecessary references to long-
lived state that really didn't need to be referred
to at all, and also introduced several assert()s
that helped me diagnose a few bugs (fixed too).
llvm-svn: 120778
expression. This currently takes waaaayyyyy too much time to evaluate. We will
need to look at the expression parser and find ways to optimize the info we
provide and get this to evaluate quicker. I believe the performance issue is
currently related to us always providing a complete C++ class type when asked
about a C++ class which can cause a lot of information to be pulled since all
classes will be fully created (methods, base classes, members, all their
types). We will need to give the classes back the parser and mark them as
having external sources and get parser (Sema) to query us when it needs more
info. This should bring things up to an acceptable level.
llvm-svn: 118979
Changed all of our synthesized "___clang" functions, types and variables
that get used in expressions over to have a prefix of "$_lldb". Now when we
do name lookups we can easily switch off of the first '$' character to know
if we should look through only our internal (when first char is '$') stuff,
or when we should look through program variables, functions and types.
Converted all of the clang expression code over to using "const ConstString&"
values for names instead of "const char *" since there were many places that
were converting the "const char *" names into ConstString names and them
throwing them away. We now avoid making a lot of ConstString conversions and
benefit from the quick comparisons in a few extra spots.
Converted a lot of code from LLVM coding conventions into LLDB coding
conventions.
