provision for specifying a working directory with the name LaunchWithCWD in our
target language (Python) for now. This fixes the test suite failures due to the
overloading.

takes separate file handles for stdin, stdout, and stder and also allows for
the working directory to be specified.
Added support to "process launch" to a new option: --working-dir=PATH. We
can now set the working directory. If this is not set, it defaults to that
of the process that has LLDB loaded. Added the working directory to the
host LaunchInNewTerminal function to allows the current working directory
to be set in processes that are spawned in their own terminal. Also hooked this
up to the lldb_private::Process and all mac plug-ins. The linux plug-in had its
API changed, but nothing is making use of it yet. Modfied "debugserver" and
"darwin-debug" to also handle the current working directory options and modified
the code in LLDB that spawns these tools to pass the info along.
Fixed ProcessGDBRemote to properly pass along all file handles for stdin, stdout
and stderr.
After clearing the default values for the stdin/out/err file handles for
process to be NULL, we had a crasher in UserSettingsController::UpdateStringVariable
which is now fixed. Also fixed the setting of boolean values to be able to
be set as "true", "yes", "on", "1" for true (case insensitive) and "false", "no",
"off", or "0" for false.
Fixed debugserver to properly handle files for STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR that are not
already opened. Previous to this fix debugserver would only correctly open and dupe
file handles for the slave side of a pseudo terminal. It now correctly handles
getting STDIN for the inferior from a file, and spitting STDOUT and STDERR out to
files. Also made sure the file handles were correctly opened with the NOCTTY flag
for terminals.

checking the validity of the shared pointer prior to using it.
Fixed the GDB remote plug-in to once again watch for a reply from the "k"
packet, and fixed the logic to make sure the thread requesting the kill
and the async thread play nice (and very quickly) by synchronizing the
packet sending and reply. I also tweaked some of the shut down packet
("k" kill, "D" detach, and the halt packet) to make sure they do the right
thing.
Fixed "StateType Process::WaitForProcessStopPrivate (...)" to correctly pass
the timeout along to WaitForStateChangedEventsPrivate() and made the function
behave correctly with respect to timing out.
Added separate STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR support to debugserver. Also added
the start of being able to set the working directory for the inferior process.
llvm-svn: 124049
we are requesting a single thread to run. May seem like a silly thing to do, but the kernel
on MacOS X will inject new threads into a program willy-nilly, and I would like to keep them
from running if I can.

select frame #3, you can then do a step out and be able to go directly to the
frame above frame #3!
Added StepOverUntil and StepOutOfFrame to the SBThread API to allow more powerful
stepping.

fragile ivars if requested. This was done by changing the previous second parameter
to an options bitfield that can be populated by logical OR'ing the new
StackFrame::ExpressionPathOption enum values together:
typedef enum ExpressionPathOption
{
eExpressionPathOptionCheckPtrVsMember = (1u << 0),
eExpressionPathOptionsNoFragileObjcIvar = (1u << 1),
};
So the old function was:
lldb::ValueObjectSP
StackFrame::GetValueForVariableExpressionPath (const char *var_expr, bool check_ptr_vs_member, Error &error);
But it is now:
lldb::ValueObjectSP
StackFrame::GetValueForVariableExpressionPath (const char *var_expr, uint32_t options, Error &error);
This allows the expression parser in Target::EvaluateExpression(...) to avoid
using simple frame variable expression paths when evaluating something that might
be a fragile ivar.

going to actually be used as the symbol file plug-in by looking only for suitable
N_OSO symbols and avoiding sorting function (N_FUN) and global/static (N_GSYM/N_STSYM)
symbols when there are no suitable N_OSO objects.

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.

Debuggers on ELF platforms hook into the runtime linker by monitoring a special
"rendezvous" embedded in the address space of the inferior process. The exact
location of this structure is filled in by the runtime linker and can be
resolved by locating the DT_DEBUG entry in the processes .dynamic section. The
new GetImageInfoAddress() method (morally equivalent to
Process::GetImageInfoAddress) provides the mechanism to locate this information.
GetEntryPoint() simply returns the address of the start symbol in the executable
if present. It is useful to the dynamic loader plugin for ELF systems as this
is the earliest point where LLDB can break and probe the inferiors .dynamic
section and rendezvous structure. Also, this address can be used in the
computation of the virtual base address for position independent executables.

Anytime we had a valid python list that was trying to go from Python down into
our C++ API, it was allocating too little memory and it ended up smashing
whatever was next to the allocated memory.
Added typemap conversions for "void *, size_t" so we can get
SBProcess::ReadMemory() working. Also added a typemap for "const void *, size_t"
so we can get SBProcess::WriteMemory() to work.
Fixed an issue in the DWARF parser where we weren't correctly calculating the
DeclContext for all types and classes. We now should be a lot more accurate.
Fixes include: enums should now be setting their parent decl context correctly.
We saw a lot of examples where enums in classes were not being properly
namespace scoped. Also, classes within classes now get properly scoped.
Fixed the objective C runtime pointer checkers to let "nil" pointers through
since these are accepted by compiled code. We also now don't call "abort()"
when a pointer doesn't validate correctly since this was wreaking havoc on
the process due to the way abort() works. We now just dereference memory
which should give us an exception from which we can easily and reliably
recover.

exist within the same process (one script interpreter object per debugger object). The
python script interpreter objects are all using the same global Python script interpreter;
they use separate dictionaries to keep their data separate, and mutex's to prevent any object
attempting to use the global Python interpreter when another object is already using it.

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.

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
was being searched and sorted using a shared pointer as the value which means
the pointer value was what was being searched for. This means that anytime
you did a stack backtrace, the collection of FuncUnwinders doubled and then
the array or shared pointer got sorted (by pointer value), so you had an ever
increasing collection of shared pointer where a match was never found. This
means we had a ton of duplicates in this table and would cause issues after
one had been debugging for a long time.

subclasses will automatically be able to take advantage of caching. The
cache line size is set to 512 by default.
This greatly speeds up stack backtraces on MacOSX when using the
ProcessGDBRemote process plug-in since only about 6300 packets per second
can be sent.
Initial speedups show:
Prior to caching: 10,000 stack frames took 5.2 seconds
After caching: 10,000 stack frames in 240 ms!
About a 20x speedup!

cache even when a valid process exists. Previously, Target::ReadMemory would
read from the process if there was a valid one and then fallback to the
object file cache.
llvm-svn: 122989
an issue with the way the UnwindLLDB was handing out RegisterContexts: it
was making shared pointers to register contexts and then handing out just
the pointers (which would get put into shared pointers in the thread and
stack frame classes) and cause double free issues. MallocScribble helped to
find these issues after I did some other cleanup. To help avoid any
RegisterContext issue in the future, all code that deals with them now
returns shared pointers to the register contexts so we don't end up with
multiple deletions. Also now that the RegisterContext class doesn't require
a stack frame, we patched a memory leak where a StackFrame object was being
created and leaked.
Made the RegisterContext class not have a pointer to a StackFrame object as
one register context class can be used for N inlined stack frames so there is
not a 1 - 1 mapping. Updates the ExecutionContextScope part of the
RegisterContext class to never return a stack frame to indicate this when it
is asked to recreate the execution context. Now register contexts point to the
concrete frame using a concrete frame index. Concrete frames are all of the
frames that are actually formed on the stack of a thread. These concrete frames
can be turned into one or more user visible frames due to inlining. Each
inlined stack frame has the exact same register context (shared via shared
pointers) as any parent inlined stack frames all the way up to the concrete
frame itself.
So now the stack frames and the register contexts should behave much better.

table offset where the offset is within a section. Increased the section

a shell would interpret it. A few examples that we now handle correctly
INPUT: "Hello "world
OUTPUT: "Hello World"
INPUT: "Hello "' World'
OUTPUT: "Hello World"
INPUT: Hello" World"
OUTPUT: "Hello World"
This broke the setting of dictionary values for the "settings set" command
for things like:
(lldb) settings set target.process.env-vars ["MY_ENV_VAR"]=YES
since we would drop the quotes. I fixed the user settings controller to use
a regular expression so it can accept any of the following inputs for
dictionary setting:
settings set target.process.env-vars ["MY_ENV_VAR"]=YES
settings set target.process.env-vars [MY_ENV_VAR]=YES
settings set target.process.env-vars MY_ENV_VAR=YES
We might want to eventually drop the first two syntaxes, but I won't make
that decision right now.
This allows more natural setting of the envirorment variables:
settings set target.process.env-vars MY_ENV_VAR=YES ABC=DEF CWD=/tmp
llvm-svn: 122166
line commands can use the current thread/frame.
Fixed an issue with expressions that get sandboxed in an objective C method
where unichar wasn't being passed down.
Added a "static size_t Scalar::GetMaxByteSize();" function in case we need
to know the max supported by size of something within a Scalar object.
