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'

lldb_private::RegularExpression compiles and matches with:
size_t
RegularExpression::GetErrorAsCString (char *err_str,
size_t err_str_max_len) const;
Added the ability to search a variable list for variables whose names match
a regular expression:
size_t
VariableList::AppendVariablesIfUnique (const RegularExpression& regex,
VariableList &var_list,
size_t& total_matches);
Also added the ability to append a variable to a VariableList only if it is
not already in the list:
bool
VariableList::AddVariableIfUnique (const lldb::VariableSP &var_sp);
Cleaned up the "frame variable" command:
- Removed the "-n NAME" option as this is the default way for the command to
work.
- Enable uniqued regex searches on variable names by fixing the "--regex RE"
command to work correctly. It will match all variables that match any
regular expressions and only print each variable the first time it matches.
- Fixed the option type for the "--regex" command to by eArgTypeRegularExpression
instead of eArgTypeCount
llvm-svn: 116178
Added frame relative frame selection to "frame select". You can now select
frames relative to the current frame (which defaults to zero if the current
frame hasn't yet been set for a thread):
The gdb "up" command can be done as:
(lldb) frame select -r 1
The gdb "down" command can be done as:
(lldb) frame select -r -1
Place the following in your ~/.lldbinit file for "up" and "down":
command alias up frame select -r 1
command alias down frame select -r -1

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").

instance:
settings set frame-format <string>
settings set thread-format <string>
This allows users to control the information that is seen when dumping
threads and frames. The default values are set such that they do what they
used to do prior to changing over the the user defined formats.
This allows users with terminals that can display color to make different
items different colors using the escape control codes. A few alias examples
that will colorize your thread and frame prompts are:
settings set frame-format 'frame #${frame.index}: \033[0;33m${frame.pc}\033[0m{ \033[1;4;36m${module.file.basename}\033[0;36m ${function.name}{${function.pc-offset}}\033[0m}{ \033[0;35mat \033[1;35m${line.file.basename}:${line.number}}\033[0m\n'
settings set thread-format 'thread #${thread.index}: \033[1;33mtid\033[0;33m = ${thread.id}\033[0m{, \033[0;33m${frame.pc}\033[0m}{ \033[1;4;36m${module.file.basename}\033[0;36m ${function.name}{${function.pc-offset}}\033[0m}{, \033[1;35mstop reason\033[0;35m = ${thread.stop-reason}\033[0m}{, \033[1;36mname = \033[0;36m${thread.name}\033[0m}{, \033[1;32mqueue = \033[0;32m${thread.queue}}\033[0m\n'
A quick web search for "colorize terminal output" should allow you to see what
you can do to make your output look like you want it.
The "settings set" commands above can of course be added to your ~/.lldbinit
file for permanent use.
Changed the pure virtual
void ExecutionContextScope::Calculate (ExecutionContext&);
To:
void ExecutionContextScope::CalculateExecutionContext (ExecutionContext&);
I did this because this is a class that anything in the execution context
heirarchy inherits from and "target->Calculate (exe_ctx)" didn't always tell
you what it was really trying to do unless you look at the parameter.

arguments are specified in a standardized way, will have a standardized name, and
have functioning help.
The next step is to start writing useful help for all the argument types.
llvm-svn: 115335
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.

the parent of Process settings; add 'default-arch' as a
class-wide setting for Target. Replace lldb::GetDefaultArchitecture
with Target::GetDefaultArchitecture & Target::SetDefaultArchitecture.
Add 'use-external-editor' as user setting to Debugger class & update
code appropriately.
Add Error parameter to methods that get user settings, for easier
reporting of bad requests.
Fix various other minor related bugs.
Fix test cases to work with new changes.

- 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"

accessed by the objects that own the settings. The previous approach wasn't
very usable and made for a lot of unnecessary code just to access variables
that were already owned by the objects.
While I fixed those things, I saw that CommandObject objects should really
have a reference to their command interpreter so they can access the terminal
with if they want to output usaage. Fixed up all CommandObjects to take
an interpreter and cleaned up the API to not need the interpreter to be
passed in.
Fixed the disassemble command to output the usage if no options are passed
down and arguments are passed (all disassebmle variants take options, there
are no "args only").
llvm-svn: 114252
to return the correct result.
Fixed "bool Variable::IsInScope (StackFrame *frame)" to return the correct
result when there are no location lists.
Modified the "frame variable" command such that:
- if no arguments are given (dump all frame variables), then we only show
variables that are currently in scope
- if some arguments are given, we show an error if the variable is out of
scope

debug map showed that the location lists in the .o files needed some
refactoring in order to work. The case that was failing was where a function
that was in the "__TEXT.__textcoal_nt" in the .o file, and in the
"__TEXT.__text" section in the main executable. This made symbol lookup fail
due to the way we were finding a real address in the debug map which was
by finding the section that the function was in in the .o file and trying to
find this in the main executable. Now the section list supports finding a
linked address in a section or any child sections. After fixing this, we ran
into issue that were due to DWARF and how it represents locations lists.
DWARF makes a list of address ranges and expressions that go along with those
address ranges. The location addresses are expressed in terms of a compile
unit address + offset. This works fine as long as nothing moves around. When
stuff moves around and offsets change between the remapped compile unit base
address and the new function address, then we can run into trouble. To deal
with this, we now store supply a location list slide amount to any location
list expressions that will allow us to make the location list addresses into
zero based offsets from the object that owns the location list (always a
function in our case).
With these fixes we can now re-link random address ranges inside the debugger
for use with our DWARF + debug map, incremental linking, and more.
Another issue that arose when doing the DWARF in the .o files was that GCC
4.2 emits a ".debug_aranges" that only mentions functions that are externally
visible. This makes .debug_aranges useless to us and we now generate a real
address range lookup table in the DWARF parser at the same time as we index
the name tables (that are needed because .debug_pubnames is just as useless).
llvm-gcc doesn't generate a .debug_aranges section, though this could be
fixed, we aren't going to rely upon it.
Renamed a bunch of "UINT_MAX" to "UINT32_MAX".
llvm-svn: 113829
no elements so that they at least have 1 element.
Added the ability to show the declaration location of variables to the
"frame variables" with the "--show-declaration" option ("-c" for short).
Changed the "frame variables" command over to use the value object code
so that we use the same code path as the public API does when accessing and
displaying variable values.

SBValue to access it. For now this is just the result of ObjC NSPrintForDebugger,
but could be extended. Also store the results of the ObjC Object Printer in a

might dump file paths that allows the dumping of full paths or just the
basenames. Switched the stack frame dumping code to use just the basenames for
the files instead of the full path.
Modified the StackID class to no rely on needing the start PC for the current
function/symbol since we can use the SymbolContextScope to uniquely identify
that, unless there is no symbol context scope. In that case we can rely upon
the current PC value. This saves the StackID from having to calculate the
start PC when the StackFrame::GetStackID() accessor is called.
Also improved the StackID less than operator to correctly handle inlined stack
frames in the same stack.
llvm-svn: 112867
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.

to the debugger from GUI windows. Previously there was one global debugger
instance that could be accessed that had its own command interpreter and
current state (current target/process/thread/frame). When a GUI debugger
was attached, if it opened more than one window that each had a console
window, there were issues where the last one to setup the global debugger
object won and got control of the debugger.
To avoid this we now create instances of the lldb_private::Debugger that each
has its own state:
- target list for targets the debugger instance owns
- current process/thread/frame
- its own command interpreter
- its own input, output and error file handles to avoid conflicts
- its own input reader stack
So now clients should call:
SBDebugger::Initialize(); // (static function)
SBDebugger debugger (SBDebugger::Create());
// Use which ever file handles you wish
debugger.SetErrorFileHandle (stderr, false);
debugger.SetOutputFileHandle (stdout, false);
debugger.SetInputFileHandle (stdin, true);
// main loop
SBDebugger::Terminate(); // (static function)
SBDebugger::Initialize() and SBDebugger::Terminate() are ref counted to
ensure nothing gets destroyed too early when multiple clients might be
attached.
Cleaned up the command interpreter and the CommandObject and all subclasses
to take more appropriate arguments.
