(lldb) process connect <remote-url>
Currently when you specify a file with the file command it helps us to find
a process plug-in that is suitable for debugging. If you specify a file you
can rely upon this to find the correct debugger plug-in:
% lldb a.out
Current executable set to 'a.out' (x86_64).
(lldb) process connect connect://localhost:2345
...
If you don't specify a file, you will need to specify the plug-in name that
you wish to use:
% lldb
(lldb) process connect --plugin process.gdb-remote connect://localhost:2345
Other connection URL examples:
(lldb) process connect connect://localhost:2345
(lldb) process connect tcp://127.0.0.1
(lldb) process connect file:///dev/ttyS1
We are currently treating the "connect://host:port" as a way to do raw socket
connections. If there is a URL for this already, please let me know and we
will adopt it.
So now you can connect to a remote debug server with the ProcessGDBRemote
plug-in. After connection, it will ask for the pid info using the "qC" packet
and if it responds with a valid process ID, it will be equivalent to attaching.
If it response with an error or invalid process ID, the LLDB process will be
in a new state: eStateConnected. This allows us to then download a program or
specify the program to run (using the 'A' packet), or specify a process to
attach to (using the "vAttach" packets), or query info about the processes
that might be available.

sessions: When continue packet has been sent and an interrupt packet was
quickly sent, it would get read at the same time:
$c#00\x03
There was an error where the packet end index was always being computed
incorrectly by debugserver, but it wouldn't matter if there weren't extra
bytes on the end (the hex \x03 interrupt byte in this case). The first
'$' last 3 bytes of the data in the packet buffer were being trimmed
(trying to trim the '#' + checksum (#XX)) which made:
c#
And this would then be passed to the handle routine for the 'c' packet which
would see an extra character at the end and assume it was going to be in the
form c[addr] where "[addr]" was a hex address to resume at and this would
result in a malformed packet response. This is now fixed and everything works
great.
Another issue was issuing async packets correctly by doing correct handshakes
between the thread that wants to send the async packet, and the thread that
is tracking the current run.
Added a write lock to the communication class as well to make sure you never
get two threads trying to write data at the same time. This wasn't happening,
but it is a good idea to make sure it doesn't.
llvm-svn: 124369
they may be in sensitive areas and we set breakpoints on the thread creation routines
if we are running expressions, so the threads should quickly get to a safe spot.
llvm-svn: 124115
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
threads that we spawn let us know when they are going away and that we
don't timeout waiting for a message from threads that have gone away.
We also now don't expect the "k" packet (kill) to send a response. This
greatly speeds up debugger shutdown performance. The test suite now runs
quite a bit faster.
Added a fix to the variable display code that fixes the display of
base classes. We were assuming the virtual or normal base class offsets
were being given in bit sizes, but they were being given as character
sizes, so we needed to multiply the offset by 8. This wasn't affecting
the expression parser, but it was affecting the correct display of C++
class base classes and all of their children.
llvm-svn: 124024
500 ms.
Make MachThreadList more threadsafe.
Added code to make sure the thread register state was properly flushed for x86_64.
Fixed an missing return code for the current thread in the new thread suffix code.
Improved debugserver logging.
llvm-svn: 123815
I added support for asking if the GDB remote server supports thread suffixes
for packets that should be thread specific (register read/write packets) because
the way the GDB remote protocol does it right now is to have a notion of a
current thread for register and memory reads/writes (set via the "$Hg%x" packet)
and a current thread for running ("$Hc%x"). Now we ask the remote GDB server
if it supports adding the thread ID to the register packets and we enable
that feature in LLDB if supported. This stops us from having to send a bunch
of packets that update the current thread ID to some value which is prone to
error, or extra packets.
llvm-svn: 123762
new "hexname" key for the "key:value;" duple that is part of the packet. This
allows for thread names to contain special characters such as $ # : ; + -
Debugserver now detects if the thread name contains special characters and
sends the chars in hex format if needed.

used as the arguments for the inferior program. So for example you can do
% lldb /bin/ls /tmp ~/Documents
And "lldb" will use "/bin/ls" as the program and send arguments "/tmp" and
"~/Documents" as the launch args.
If you specify a file, then all remaining args after option parsing
will be used for program arguments:
% lldb -f /bin/ls /tmp ~/Documents
If you need to pass option values to your inferior program, just terminate
the "lldb" command line driver options with "--":
% lldb -- /bin/ls -AFl /tmp
The arguments are placed into the "settings" variable named
"target.process.run-args". This allows you to just run the program using
"process launch" and, if no args are specified on that command, the
"target.process.run-args" values will be used:
% lldb -- /bin/ls -AFl /tmp
Current executable set to '/bin/ls' (x86_64).
(lldb) settings show target.process.run-args
target.process.run-args (array):
[0]: '-AFl'
[1]: '/tmp'
(lldb)
(lldb) r
Process 56753 launched: '/bin/ls' (x86_64)

do. Closing on EOF is an option that can be set on the
lldb_private::Communication or the lldb::SBCommunication objects after they
are created. Of course the EOF support isn't hooked up, so they don't do
anything at the moment, but they are left in so when the code is fixed, it
will be easy to get working again.
llvm-svn: 120885
was done as an settings variable in the process for now. We will eventually
move all environment stuff over to the target, but we will leave it with the
process for now. The default setting is for a process to inherit the host
environment. This can be disabled by setting the "inherit-env" setting to
false in the process.
llvm-svn: 120862
inferior to be launched without setting up terminal stdin/stdout for it
(leaving the lldb command line accessible while the program is executing).
Also add a user settings variable, 'target.process.disable-stdio' to allow
the user to set this globally rather than having to use the command option
each time the process is launched.
llvm-svn: 120825
an error saying the resume timed out. Previously the thread that was trying
to resume the process would eventually call ProcessGDBRemote::DoResume() which
would broadcast an event over to the async GDB remote thread which would sent the
continue packet to the remote gdb server. Right after this was sent, it would
set a predicate boolean value (protected by a mutex and condition) and then the
thread that issued the ProcessGDBRemote::DoResume() would then wait for that
condition variable to be set. If the async gdb thread was too quick though, the
predicate boolean value could have been set to true and back to false by the
time the thread that issued the ProcessGDBRemote::DoResume() checks the boolean
value. So we can't use the predicate value as a handshake. I have changed the code
over to using a Event by having the GDB remote communication object post an
event:
GDBRemoteCommunication::eBroadcastBitRunPacketSent
This allows reliable handshaking between the two threads and avoids the erroneous
ProcessGDBRemote::DoResume() errors.
Added a host backtrace service to allow in process backtraces when trying to track
down tricky issues. I need to see if LLVM has any backtracing abilities abstracted
in it already, and if so, use that, but I needed something ASAP for the current issue
I was working on. The static function is:
void
Host::Backtrace (Stream &strm, uint32_t max_frames);
And it will backtrace at most "max_frames" frames for the current thread and can be
used with any of the Stream subclasses for logging.
llvm-svn: 120793
Add bool member to Communication class indicating whether the
Connection should be closed on receiving an EOF or not. Update the
Connection read to return an EOF status when appropriate. Modify the
Communication class to pass the EOF along or not, and to close the
Connection or not, as appropriate.
llvm-svn: 120723
by being able to get the data count and data. Each thread stop reason
has one or more data words that can help describe the stop. To do this
I added:
size_t
SBThread::GetStopReasonDataCount();
uint64_t
SBThread::GetStopReasonDataAtIndex(uint32_t idx);
llvm-svn: 119720
to the DoHalt down in ProcessGDBRemote. I also moved the functionality that
was in ProcessGDBRemote::DoHalt up into Process::Halt so not every class has
to implement a tricky halt/resume on the internal state thread. The
functionality is the same as it was before with two changes:
- when we eat the event we now just reuse the event we consume when the private
state thread is paused and set the interrupted bool on the event if needed
- we also properly update the Process::m_public_state with the state of the
event we consume.
Prior to this, if you issued a "process halt" it would eat the event, not
update the process state, and then produce a new event with the interrupted
bit set and send it. Anyone listening to the event would get the stopped event
with a process that whose state was set to "running".
Fixed debugserver to not have to be spawned with the architecture of the
inferior process. This worked fine for launching processes, but when attaching
to processes by name or pid without a file in lldb, it would fail.
Now debugserver can support multiple architectures for a native debug session
on the current host. This currently means i386 and x86_64 are supported in
the same binary and a x86_64 debugserver can attach to a i386 executable.
This change involved a lot of changes to make sure we dynamically detect the
correct registers for the inferior process.

thread basic info state and not realize that a thread was already suspended
or if a thread was starting up and not ready to be displayed to the user
(in an uninterruptable state). If it is not user ready yet, we don't add it
to our list of threads that can be played with.
