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.

namespaces by name given an optional symbol context. I might end up
dressing up the "clang::NamespaceDecl" into a lldb_private::Namespace
class if we need to do more than is currenlty required of namespaces.
Currently we only need to be able to lookup a namespace by name when
parsing expressions, so I kept it simple for now. The idea here is
even though we are passing around a "clang::NamespaceDecl *", that
we always have it be an opaque pointer (it is forward declared inside
of "lldb/Core/ClangForward.h") and we only use clang::NamespaceDecl
implementations inside of ClangASTContext, or ClangASTType when we need
to extract information from the namespace decl object.
llvm-svn: 118737
comes from by using a virtual function to provide it from the Module's
SymbolVendor by default. This allows the DWARF parser, when being used to
parse DWARF in .o files with a parent DWARF + debug map parser, to get its
type list from the DWARF + debug map parser so when we go and find full
definitions for types (that might come from other .o files), we can use the
type list from the debug map parser. Otherwise we ended up mixing clang types
from one .o file (say a const pointer to a forward declaration "class A") with
the a full type from another .o file. This causes expression parsing, when
copying the clang types from those parsed by the DWARF parser into the
expression AST, to fail -- for good reason. Now all types are created in the
same list.
Also added host support for crash description strings that can be set before
doing a piece of work. On MacOSX, this ties in with CrashReporter support
that allows a string to be dispalyed when the app crashes and allows
LLDB.framework to print a description string in the crash log. Right now this
is hookup up the the CommandInterpreter::HandleCommand() where each command
notes that it is about to be executed, so if we crash while trying to do this
command, we should be able to see the command that caused LLDB to exit. For
all other platforms, this is a nop.

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
where the DWARF is in the .o files so they can track down the actual type for
a forward declaration. This was working before for just DWARF files, but not
for DWARF in .o files where the actual definition was in another .o file.
Modified the main thread name in the driver to be more consistent with the
other LLDB thread names.
llvm-svn: 118383
since we can't parse DW_TAG_namespace DIEs as types. They are only decls in
clang. All of the types we handle right now have both clang "XXXType" classes
to go with the "XXXDecl" classes which means they can be used within the
lldb_private::Type class. I need to check to see which other decls that don't
have associated type objects need to float around the debugger and possibly
make a lldb_private::Decl class to manage them.
llvm-svn: 116558
artifical members (like the vtable pointer member that shows up in the DWARF).
We were adding this to each class which was making all member variables be off
by a pointer size.
Added a test case so we can track this with "test/forward".
Fixed the type name index in DWARF to include all the types after finding
some types were being omitted due to the DW_AT_specification having the
DW_AT_declaration attribute which was being read into the real type instances
when there were forward declarations in the DWARF, causing the type to be
omitted. We now check to make sure any DW_AT_declaration values are only
respected when parsing types if the attribute is from the current DIE.
After fixing the missing types, we ran into some issues with the expression
parser finding duplicate entries for __va_list_tag since they are built in
types and would result in a "duplicate __va_list_tag definition" error. We
are now just ignoring this name during lookup, but we will need to see if
we can get the name lookup function to not get called in these cases.
Fixed an issue that would cause an assertion where DW_TAG_subroutine_types
that had no children, would not properly make a clang function type of:
"void (*) (void)".
llvm-svn: 116392
being chopped up correctly). The DWARF plug-in also keeps a map of the ObjC
class names to selectors for easy parsing of all class selectors when we parse
the class type.
llvm-svn: 116290
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
all types in all compile units. I added a new kind of accelerator table to
the DWARF that allows us to index the DWARF compile units and DIEs in a way
that doesn't require the data to stay loaded. Currently when indexing the
DWARF we check if the compile unit had parsed its DIEs and if it hasn't we
index the data and free all of the DIEs so we can reparse later when we need
to after using one of our complete accelerator tables to determine we need
to reparse some DWARF. If the DIEs had already been parsed we leave them
loaded. The new accelerator table uses the "const char *" pointers from our
ConstString class as the keys, and NameToDIE::Info as the value. This info
contains the compile unit index and the DIE index which means we are pointed
right to the DIE we need unlike the other DWARF accelerator tables that often
just point us to the compile unit we would find our answer in.
llvm-svn: 113933
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".

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.
llvm-svn: 111706
involved watching for the objective C built-in types in DWARF and making sure
when we convert the DWARF types into clang types that we use the appropriate
ASTContext types.
Added a way to find and dump types in lldb (something equivalent to gdb's
"ptype" command):
image lookup --type <TYPENAME>
This only works for looking up types by name and won't work with variables.
It also currently dumps out verbose internal information. I will modify it
to dump more appropriate user level info in my next submission.
Hookup up the "FindTypes()" functions in the SymbolFile and SymbolVendor so
we can lookup types by name in one or more images.
Fixed "image lookup --address <ADDRESS>" to be able to correctly show all
symbol context information, but it will only show this extra information when
the new "--verbose" flag is used.
Updated to latest LLVM to get a few needed fixes.
llvm-svn: 110089
lldb_private::Language class into the enumerations header so it can be freely
used by other interfaces.
Added correct objective C class support to the DWARF symbol parser. Prior to
this fix we were parsing objective C classes as C++ classes and now that the
expression parser is ready to call functions we need to make sure the objective
C classes have correct AST types.
llvm-svn: 109574
I also added new functions to create an Objective C class, ivar and set an objective C superclass. They aren't hooked up in the DWARF parser yet. That is the next step, though I am unsure if I will do this in the DWARF parser or try and do it generically in the existing Record manipulation functions.
llvm-svn: 109130
SectionType for Section objects for DWARF.
Modified the DWARF plug-in to get the DWARF sections by SectionType so we
can safely abstract the LLDB core from section names for the various object
file formats.
Modified the SectionType definitions for .debug_pubnames and .debug_pubtypes
to use the correct case.
llvm-svn: 109054
intelligently. The four name types we currently have are:
eFunctionNameTypeFull = (1 << 1), // The function name.
// For C this is the same as just the name of the function
// For C++ this is the demangled version of the mangled name.
// For ObjC this is the full function signature with the + or
// - and the square brackets and the class and selector
eFunctionNameTypeBase = (1 << 2), // The function name only, no namespaces or arguments and no class
// methods or selectors will be searched.
eFunctionNameTypeMethod = (1 << 3), // Find function by method name (C++) with no namespace or arguments
eFunctionNameTypeSelector = (1 << 4) // Find function by selector name (ObjC) names
this allows much more flexibility when setting breakoints:
(lldb) breakpoint set --name main --basename
(lldb) breakpoint set --name main --fullname
(lldb) breakpoint set --name main --method
(lldb) breakpoint set --name main --selector
The default:
(lldb) breakpoint set --name main
will inspect the name "main" and look for any parens, or if the name starts
with "-[" or "+[" and if any are found then a full name search will happen.
Else a basename search will be the default.
Fixed some command option structures so not all options are required when they
shouldn't be.
Cleaned up the breakpoint output summary.
Made the "image lookup --address <addr>" output much more verbose so it shows
all the important symbol context results. Added a GetDescription method to
many of the SymbolContext objects for the more verbose output.
