It completes the job of using EvaluateExpressionOptions consistently throughout
the inferior function calling mechanism in lldb begun in Greg's patch r194009.
It removes a handful of alternate calls into the ClangUserExpression/ClangFunction/ThreadPlanCallFunction which
were there for convenience. Using the EvaluateExpressionOptions removes the need for them.
Using that it gets the --debug option from Greg's patch to work cleanly.
It also adds another EvaluateExpressionOption to not trap exceptions when running expressions. You shouldn't
use this option unless you KNOW your expression can't throw beyond itself. This is:
<rdar://problem/15374885>
At present this is only available through the SB API's or python.
It fixes a bug where function calls would unset the ObjC & C++ exception breakpoints without checking whether
they were set by somebody else already.

iterators for LLDB's container data structures.
Iterable abstracts over the backing data structure,
ignoring keys for maps for example. It also provides
locking as a service so that the code
for (ThreadSP thread_sp : process->Threads())
{
// ... use thread_sp
}
takes the appropriate locks once, without having to
do anything else.
The salient advantages of this system are:
- Much simpler and idiomatic loop code
- Lock once instead of each time an element is fetched
- Less boilerplate to produce the iterators
The intent is that Iterable will replace Get...AtIndex
in most places, and that ForEach(), which solves the
same problem in a less-idiomatic way, be phased out in
favor of this approach.
I've added Iterables to ThreadList, TypeList, and
Process (which is really just forwarding to ThreadList).

Fixed the test case for "test/functionalities/exec/TestExec.py" on Darwin.
The issue was breakpoints were persisting and causing problems. When we exec, we need to clear out the process and target and start fresh with nothing and let the breakpoints populate themselves again. This patch correctly clears out the breakpoints and also flushes the process so that the objects (process/thread/frame) give out valid information.

Instead of looking up registers by name, we use the generic ID when we can.
Also added code that creates an extra frame when running expressions by pushing the current PC and FP and then hooking up the FP backchain. This code is "#if 0" out for now until we can pair it with unwinder fixes.
llvm-svn: 194035
Cleaned up ClangUserExpression::Evaluate() to have only one variant that takes a "const EvaluateExpressionOptions& options" instead of taking many arguments.
The "--debug" option is designed to allow you to debug your expression by stopping at the first instruction (it enables --ignore-breakpoints=true and --unwind-on-error=false) and allowing you to step through your JIT code. It needs to be more integrated with the thread plan, so I am checking this in so Jim Ingham can make it happen.

at some point in the past. We may have nothing more than a pc value
for this type of stack frame -- hopefully we'll have a pc and a
stop_id so we can track module loads and unloads over time and
symbolicate the pc at the correct point in time.
Also add a flag to indicate if the CFA for the frame is available
(a bit different from a CFA of LLDB_INVALID_ADDRESS) and also an
overall setting to indicate whether this is a history stack frame
or not. A history stack frame may not have a CFA, it may not have
a register context, it may not have variables, it may not have a
frame pointer or a stack pointer.

pure virtual base class and made StackFrame a subclass of that. As
I started to build on top of that arrangement today, I found that it
wasn't working out like I intended. Instead I'll try sticking with
the single StackFrame class -- there's too much code duplication to
make a more complicated class hierarchy sensible I think.
llvm-svn: 193983
defines a protocol that all subclasses will implement. StackFrame
is currently the only subclass and the methods that Frame vends are
nearly identical to StackFrame's old methods.
Update all callers to use Frame*/Frame& instead of pointers to
StackFrames.
This is almost entirely a mechanical change that touches a lot of
the code base so I'm committing it alone. No new functionality is
added with this patch, no new subclasses of Frame exist yet.
I'll probably need to tweak some of the separation, possibly moving
some of StackFrame's methods up in to Frame, but this is a good
starting point.

This commit reimplements the TypeImpl class (the class that backs SBType) in terms of a static,dynamic type pair
This is useful for those cases when the dynamic type of an ObjC variable can only be obtained in terms of an "hollow" type with no ivars
In that case, we could either go with the static type (+iVar information) or with the dynamic type (+inheritance chain)
With the new TypeImpl implementation, we try to combine these two sources of information in order to extract as much information as possible
This should improve the functionality of tools that are using the SBType API to do extensive dynamic type inspection

Introduce a new boolean setting enable-auto-oneliner
This setting if set to false will force LLDB to not use the new compact one-line display
By default, one-line mode stays on, at least until we can be confident it works.
But now if it seriously impedes your workflow while it evolves/it works wonders but you still hate it, there's a way to turn it off

Fixed an issue with reexported symbols on MacOSX by adding support for symbols re-exporting symbols. There is now a new symbol type eSymbolTypeReExported which contains a new name for the re-exported symbol and the new shared library. These symbols are only used when a symbol is re-exported as a symbol under a different name.
Modified the expression parser to be able to deal with finding the re-exported symbols and track down the actual symbol it refers to.

Removing Host/Atomic.h
This header file was not being copied as part of our public API headers and this in turn was causing any plugin to link against LLDB.framework, since SharingPtr.h depends on it
Out of several possible options to fix this issue, the cleanest one is to revert LLDB to use std::atomic<>, as we are a C++11 project and should take advantage of it
The original rationale for going from std::atomic to Host/Atomic.h was that MSVC++ fails to link in CLR mode when std::atomic is used
This is a very Visual Studio/.net specific issue, which hopefully will be fixed
Until them, to allow Windows development to proceed, we are going with a targeted solution where we #ifdef include the Windows specific calls, and let everyone else use the
proper atomic support, as should be
If there is an unavoidable need for a LLDB-specific atomic header, the right way to go at it would be to make an API/lldb-atomic.h header and #ifdef the Windows dependency there
The FormatManager should not need to conditionalize use of std::atomic<>, as other parts of the LLDB internals are successfully using atomic (Address and IRExecutionUnit), so this
Win-specific hack is limited to SharingPtr

To make this work this patch extends LLDB to:
- Explicitly track the link_map address for each module. This is effectively the module handle, not sure why it wasn't already being stored off anywhere. As an extension later, it would be nice if someone were to add support for printing this as part of the modules list.
- Allow reading the per-thread data pointer via ptrace. I have added support for Linux here. I'll be happy to add support for FreeBSD once this is reviewed. OS X does not appear to have __thread variables, so maybe we don't need it there. Windows support should eventually be workable along the same lines.
- Make DWARF expressions track which module they originated from.
- Add support for the DW_OP_GNU_push_tls_address DWARF opcode, as generated by gcc and recent versions of clang. Earlier versions of clang (such as 3.2, which is default on Ubuntu right now) do not generate TLS debug info correctly so can not be supported here.
- Understand the format of the pthread DTV block. This is where it gets tricky. We have three basic options here:
1) Call "dlinfo" or "__tls_get_addr" on the inferior and ask it directly. However this won't work on core dumps, and generally speaking it's not a good idea for the debugger to call functions itself, as it has the potential to not work depending on the state of the target.
2) Use libthread_db. This is what GDB does. However this option requires having a version of libthread_db on the host cross-compiled for each potential target. This places a large burden on the user, and would make it very hard to cross-debug from Windows to Linux, for example. Trying to build a library intended exclusively for one OS on a different one is not pleasant. GDB sidesteps the problem and asks the user to figure it out.
3) Parse the DTV structure ourselves. On initial inspection this seems to be a bad option, as the DTV structure (the format used by the runtime to manage TLS data) is not in fact a kernel data structure, it is implemented entirely in useerland in libc. Therefore the layout of it's fields are version and OS dependent, and are not standardized.
However, it turns out not to be such a problem. All OSes use basically the same algorithm (a per-module lookup table) as detailed in Ulrich Drepper's TLS ELF ABI document, so we can easily write code to decode it ourselves. The only question therefore is the exact field layouts required. Happily, the implementors of libpthread expose the structure of the DTV via metadata exported as symbols from the .so itself, designed exactly for this kind of thing. So this patch simply reads that metadata in, and re-implements libthread_db's algorithm itself. We thereby get cross-platform TLS lookup without either requiring third-party libraries, while still being independent of the version of libpthread being used.
Test case included.

Extend DummySyntheticProvider to actually use debug-info vended children as the source of information
Make Python synthetic children either be valid, or fallback to the dummy, like their C++ counterparts
This allows LLDB to actually stop bailing out upon encountering an invalid synthetic children provider front-end, and still displaying the non synthetized ivar info

When debugging with the GDB remote in LLDB, LLDB uses special packets to discover the
registers on the remote server. When those packets aren't supported, LLDB doesn't
know what the registers look like. This checkin implements a setting that can be used
to specify a python file that contains the registers definitions. The setting is:
(lldb) settings set plugin.process.gdb-remote.target-definition-file /path/to/module.py
Inside module there should be a function:
def get_dynamic_setting(target, setting_name):
This dynamic setting function is handed the "target" which is a SBTarget, and the
"setting_name", which is the name of the dynamic setting to retrieve. For the GDB
remote target definition the setting name is 'gdb-server-target-definition'. The
return value is a dictionary that follows the same format as the OperatingSystem
plugins follow. I have checked in an example file that implements the x86_64 GDB
register set for people to see:
examples/python/x86_64_target_definition.py
This allows LLDB to debug to any archticture that is support and allows users to
define the registers contexts when the discovery packets (qRegisterInfo, qHostInfo)
are not supported by the remote GDB server.
A few benefits of doing this in Python:
1 - The dynamic register context was already supported in the OperatingSystem plug-in
2 - Register contexts can use all of the LLDB enumerations and definitions for things
like lldb::Format, lldb::Encoding, generic register numbers, invalid registers
numbers, etc.
3 - The code that generates the register context can use the program to calculate the
register context contents (like offsets, register numbers, and more)
4 - True dynamic detection could be used where variables and types could be read from
the target program itself in order to determine which registers are available since
the target is passed into the python function.
This is designed to be used instead of XML since it is more dynamic and code flow and
functions can be used to make the dictionary.
llvm-svn: 192646
This is implemented by means of a get_dynamic_setting(target, setting_name) function vended by the Python module, which can respond to arbitrary string names with dynamically constructed
settings objects (most likely, some of those that PythonDataObjects supports) for LLDB to parse
This needs to be hooked up to the debugger via some setting to allow users to specify which module will vend the information they want to supply

Fixed Module::ResolveSymbolContextForAddress() to be able to also look in the SymbolVendor's SymbolFile's ObjectFile for a more meaningful symbol when a symbol lookup finds a synthetic symbol from the main object file. This will help lookups on MacOSX as the main executable might be stripped, but the dSYM file always has a full symbol table.
llvm-svn: 192510
Added a way to set hardware breakpoints from the "breakpoint set" command with the new "--hardware" option. Hardware breakpoints are not a request, they currently are a requirement. So when breakpoints are specified as hardware breakpoints, they might fail to be set when they are able to be resolved and should be used sparingly. This is currently hooked up for GDB remote debugging.
Linux and FreeBSD should quickly enable this feature if possible, or return an error for any breakpoints that are hardware breakpoint sites in the "virtual Error Process::EnableBreakpointSite (BreakpointSite *bp_site);" function.

MIPS's .dyanamic section is read-only. Instead of using DT_DEBUG for

ObjectFile::CopyData is used to copy a block of target memory to the
caller's buffer (e.g. for "memory read"). This should be a straight
memcpy, and not byte-swapped if the target and host have different
endianness.

copy and use it in ObjectFile::CopyData().

Formats (as in "type format") are now included in categories
The only bit missing is caching formats along with synthetic children and summaries, which might be now desirable
llvm-svn: 192217
This radar extends the notion of one-liner summaries to automagically apply in a few interesting cases
More specifically, this checkin changes the printout of ValueObjects to print on one-line (as if type summary add -c had been applied) iff:
this ValueObject does not have a summary
its children have no synthetic children
its children are not a non-empty base class without a summary
its children do not have a summary that asks for children to show up
the aggregate length of all the names of all the children is <= 50 characters
you did not ask to see the types during a printout
your pointer depth is 0
This is meant to simplify the way LLDB shows data on screen for small structs and similarly compact data types (e.g. std::pair<int,int> anyone?)
Feedback is especially welcome on how the feature feels and corner cases where we should apply this printout and don't (or viceversa, we are applying it when we shouldn't be)
