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
can avoid running the code in the target if the
expression's result is known and the expression
has no side effects.
Right now this feature is quite conservative in
its guess about side effects, and it only computes
integer results, but the machinery to make it more
sophisticated is there.
llvm-svn: 121952
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.
llvm-svn: 121745
the code to pass the _cmd pointer has been improved, and _cmd
is now set to the value of _cmd for the current context, as
opposed to being simply NULL.
llvm-svn: 121739
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
LLDB expression execution.
We also now print the argument structure after execution,
to allow us to verify that the expression did indeed
execute correctly.
llvm-svn: 121126
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
RegisterContext* - normally this is retrieved from the ExecutionContext's
StackFrame but when we need to evaluate an expression while creating
the stack frame list this can be a little tricky.
Add DW_OP_deref_size, needed for the _sigtramp FDE expression.
Add support for processing DWARF expressions in RegisterContextLLDB.
Update callers to DWARFExpression::Evaluate.
llvm-svn: 119885
perform recursive type lookups, because these are not
required for full type fidelity. We also make the
SelectorTable last for the full lifetime of the Clang
compiler; this was the source of many bugs.
llvm-svn: 119835
can too. So now the lldb_private::Variable class has support for this.
Variables now have support for having a basename ("i"), and a mangled name
("_ZN12_GLOBAL__N_11iE"), and a demangled name ("(anonymous namespace)::i").
Nowwhen searching for a variable by name, users might enter the fully qualified
name, or just the basename. So new test functions were added to the Variable
and Mangled classes as:
bool NameMatches (const ConstString &name);
bool NameMatches (const RegularExpression ®ex);
I also modified "ClangExpressionDeclMap::FindVariableInScope" to also search
for global variables that are not in the current file scope by first starting
with the current module, then moving on to all modules.
Fixed an issue in the DWARF parser that could cause a varaible to get parsed
more than once. Now, once we have parsed a VariableSP for a DIE, we cache
the result even if a variable wasn't made so we don't do any re-parsing. Some
DW_TAG_variable DIEs don't have locations, or are missing vital info that
stops a debugger from being able to display anything for it, we parse a NULL
variable shared pointer for these DIEs so we don't keep trying to reparse it.
llvm-svn: 119085
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
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
Fixed the DWARF plug-in such that when it gets all attributes for a DIE, that
it omits the DW_AT_sibling and DW_AT_declaration when getting attributes
from a DW_AT_abstract_origin or DW_AT_specification DIE.
llvm-svn: 118654
to not get resolved.
Fixed the "void **isa_ptr" variable inside the objective C verifier to start
with a '$' character so we don't go looking for it in our program.
Moved the lookup for "$__lldb_class" into the part that knows we are looking
for internal types that start with a '$'.
llvm-svn: 118488
don't crash if we disable logging when some code already has a copy of the
logger. Prior to this fix, logs were handed out as pointers and if they were
held onto while a log got disabled, then it could cause a crash. Now all logs
are handed out as shared pointers so this problem shouldn't happen anymore.
We are also using our new shared pointers that put the shared pointer count
and the object into the same allocation for a tad better performance.
llvm-svn: 118319
statement. Now when ClangExpressionDeclMap returns
a variable for a name, it pretty-prints that
variable to the log instead of printing a (fairly
useless) NamedDecl pointer.
llvm-svn: 117972
Changed all of our synthesized "___clang" functions, types and variables
that get used in expressions over to have a prefix of "$_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.
llvm-svn: 116634
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
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.
llvm-svn: 115012
interface in ClangASTContext. Also added two bool returning functions that
indicated if an opaque clang qual type is a CXX class type, and if it is an
ObjC class type.
Objective C classes now will get their methods added lazily as they are
encountered. The reason for this is currently, unlike C++, the
DW_TAG_structure_type and owns the ivars, doesn't not also contain the
member functions. This means when we parse the objective C class interface
we either need to find all functions whose names start with "+[CLASS_NAME"
or "-[CLASS_NAME" and add them all to the class, or when we parse each objective
C function, we slowly add it to the class interface definition. Since objective
C's class doesn't change internal bits according to whether it has certain types
of member functions (like C++ does if it has virtual functions, or if it has
user ctors/dtors), I currently chose to lazily populate the class when each
functions is parsed. Another issue we run into with ObjC method declarations
is the "self" and "_cmd" implicit args are not marked as artificial in the
DWARF (DW_AT_artifical), so we currently have to look for the parameters by
name if we are trying to omit artificial function args if the language of the
compile unit is ObjC or ObjC++.
llvm-svn: 114722
- Sema is now exported (and there was much rejoicing.)
- Storage classes are now centrally defined.
Also fixed some bugs that the new LLVM picked up.
llvm-svn: 114622
for C++ classes. Replaced it with a less hacky approach:
- If an expression is defined in the context of a
method of class A, then that expression is wrapped as
___clang_class::___clang_expr(void*) { ... }
instead of ___clang_expr(void*) { ... }.
- ___clang_class is resolved as the type of the target
of the "this" pointer in the method the expression
is defined in.
- When reporting the type of ___clang_class, a method
with the signature ___clang_expr(void*) is added to
that class, so that Clang doesn't complain about a
method being defined without a corresponding
declaration.
- Whenever the expression gets called, "this" gets
looked up, type-checked, and then passed in as the
first argument.
This required the following changes:
- The ABIs were changed to support passing of the "this"
pointer as part of trivial calls.
- ThreadPlanCallFunction and ClangFunction were changed
to support passing of an optional "this" pointer.
- ClangUserExpression was extended to perform the
wrapping described above.
- ClangASTSource was changed to revert the changes
required by the hack.
- ClangExpressionParser, IRForTarget, and
ClangExpressionDeclMap were changed to handle
different manglings of ___clang_expr flexibly. This
meant no longer searching for a function called
___clang_expr, but rather looking for a function whose
name *contains* ___clang_expr.
- ClangExpressionParser and ClangExpressionDeclMap now
remember whether "this" is required, and know how to
look it up as necessary.
A few inheritance bugs remain, and I'm trying to resolve
these. But it is now possible to use "this" as well as
refer implicitly to member variables, when in the proper
context.
llvm-svn: 114384
expressions. This involved three main changes:
- In ClangUserExpression::ClangUserExpression(),
we now insert the following lines into the
expression:
#define this ___clang_this
#define self ___clang_self
- In ClangExpressionDeclMap::GetDecls(), we
special-case ___clang_(this|self) and instead
look up "this" or "self"
- In ClangASTSource, we introduce the capability
to generate Decls with a different, overridden,
name from the one that was requested, e.g.
this for ___clang_this.
llvm-svn: 113866
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
- If you put a semicolon at the end of an expression,
this no longer causes the expression parser to
error out. This was a two-part fix: first,
ClangExpressionDeclMap::Materialize now handles
an empty struct (such as when there is no return
value); second, ASTResultSynthesizer walks backward
from the end of the ASTs until it reaches something
that's not a NullStmt.
- ClangExpressionVariable now properly byte-swaps when
printing itself.
- ClangUtilityFunction now cleans up after itself when
it's done compiling itself.
- Utility functions can now use external functions just
like user expressions.
- If you end your expression with a statement that does
not return a value, the expression now runs correctly
anyway.
Also, added the beginnings of an Objective-C object
validator function, which is neither installed nor used
as yet.
llvm-svn: 113789
with the Clang parser that prevents us from passing
Objective-C types to functions that expect C types.
This quick hack keeps us in business until that
interaction is fixed.
llvm-svn: 113429
symbols with the same name and no debug information.
Also improved the way functions are called so we
don't automatically define them as variadic functions
in the IR.
llvm-svn: 113290
persistent variables were staying around too long.
This caused the following problem:
- A persistent result variable is created for the
result of an expression. The pointer to the
corresponding Decl is stored in the variable.
- The persistent variable is looked up during
struct generation (correctly) using its Decl.
- Another expression defines a new result variable
which happens to have a Decl in the same place
as the original result variable.
- The persistent variable is looked up during
struct generation using its Decl, but the old
result variable appears first in the list and
has the same Decl pointer.
The fix is to destroy parser-specific data when
it is no longer valid.
Also improved some logging as I diagnosed the
bug.

ClangExpressionVariables for found external variables

to spawn a thread for each process that is being monitored. Previously
LLDB would spawn a single thread that would wait for any child process which
isn't ok to do as a shared library (LLDB.framework on Mac OSX, or lldb.so on
linux). The old single thread used to call wait4() with a pid of -1 which
could cause it to reap child processes that it shouldn't have.
Re-wrote the way Function blocks are handles. Previously I attempted to keep
all blocks in a single memory allocation (in a std::vector). This made the
code somewhat efficient, but hard to work with. I got rid of the old BlockList
class, and went to a straight parent with children relationship. This new
approach will allow for partial parsing of the blocks within a function.
