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

This commit adds an example python file that can be used with 'target-definition-file' setting for Linux gdbserver.
This file has an extra key 'breakpoint-pc-offset' that LLDB uses to determine how much to change the PC
after hitting the breakpoint.

queue name out of ProcessGDBRemote and in to the Platform
plugin, specifically PlatformDarwin.
Also add a Platform method to translate a dispatch_quaddr
to a QueueID, and a Thread::GetQueueID().
I'll add an SBThread::GetQueueID() next.

::Fork already does this internally, so this was simply leaking file handles.
This fixes the problem where the test suite would occasionally run out of file handles.
llvm-svn: 192929
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.

Some linkers (GNU ld) are picky about library order, so if we import libraries as part of our LDFLAGS then that needs to come after any DYLIB_NAME which might require that library.

- Made the dynamic register context for the GDB remote plug-in inherit from the generic DynamicRegisterInfo to avoid code duplication
- Finished up the target definition python setting stuff.
- Added a new "slice" key/value pair that can specify that a register is part of another register:
{ 'name':'eax', 'set':0, 'bitsize':32, 'encoding':eEncodingUint, 'format':eFormatHex, 'slice': 'rax[31:0]' },
- Added a new "composite" key/value pair that can specify that a register is made up of two or more registers:
{ 'name':'d0', 'set':0, 'bitsize':64 , 'encoding':eEncodingIEEE754, 'format':eFormatFloat, 'composite': ['s1', 's0'] },
- Added a new "invalidate-regs" key/value pair for when a register is modified, it can invalidate other registers:
{ 'name':'cpsr', 'set':0, 'bitsize':32 , 'encoding':eEncodingUint, 'format':eFormatHex, 'invalidate-regs': ['r8', 'r9', 'r10', 'r11', 'r12', 'r13', 'r14', 'r15']},
This now completes the feature that allows a GDB remote target to completely describe itself.

* Clean the SBBreakpoint: id = out of the output
* clamp output to window width (eventually we should be able to scroll
left/right)
* On 'tab', expand a breakpoint to show its locations
* Allow enter/space to toggle breakpoints

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

gdb-format a (as in p/a) would fail as it needed to set a byte size (unsurprisingly enough)
This should be acknowledged by the condition check and not cause a failure

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
the pointer to dyld information it uses a separate tag DT_MIPS_RLD_MAP
which points to storage in the read-write .rld_map section, which in
turn points to the dyld information.

Fixed an issue where environment variables that contained special characters '$' and '#' would hose up the GDB server packet. We now use the QEnvironmentHexEncoded packet that has existed for a long time when we need to. Also added code that will stop sending the QEnvironmentHexEncoded and QEnvironment packets if they aren't supported.
llvm-svn: 192373
On at least FreeBSD and NetBSD there is an extra field in the dyld link
map struct. I've left an assert for other OSes (i.e., Linux/mips) until
it's determined if they do the same.

LLDB (Terminal) User Interface
==============================
This directory contains the curses user interface for LLDB. To use it, ensure Python can find your lldb module. You may have to modify PYTHONPATH for that purpose:
$ export PYTHONPATH=/path/to/lldb/module
Then, run the lui.py. To load a core file:
$ ./lui.py --core core
To create a target from an executable:
$ ./lui.py /bin/echo "hello world"
To attach to a running process:
$ ./lui.py --attach <pid>
Known Issues
============
1. Resizing the terminal will most likely cause lui to crash.
2. Missing paging in command-window
3. Only minimal testing (on Ubuntu Linux x86_64)
Missing Features
================
- stdin/stdout/stderr windows
- memory window
- backtrace window
- threads window
- tab-completion
- syntax-highlighting (via pygments library)
- (local) variables window
- registers window
- disassembly window
- custom layout

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.
Add a new DataExtractor::CopyData() method that performs this straight
copy and use it in ObjectFile::CopyData().

Use 32-bit register enums without gaps on 64-bit hosts.
Don't show 64-bit registers when debugging 32-bit targets.
Add psuedo gpr registers (ax, ah, al, etc.)
Add mmx registers.
Fix TestRegisters.py to not read ymm15 register on 32-bit targets.

Constant ValueObjects should clear their description as well as their summary. Rationale being that both can depend on deeper-than-constified data
so both are subject to changes in "unpredictable" ways
To see this consider repeatedly po'ing a persistent variable of a type whose -description result changes at each invocation
llvm-svn: 192259
Implement SBTarget::CreateValueFromAddress() with a behavior equivalent to SBValue::CreateValueFromAddress()
(but without the need to grab an SBValue first just as a starting point to make up another SBValue out of whole cloth)
llvm-svn: 192239
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)
