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.

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.
llvm-svn: 112540
ClangExpressionVariables for found external variables
as well as for struct members, replacing the Tuple
and StructMember data structures.
llvm-svn: 111859
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
expression parser. There shouldn't be four separate
classes encapsulating a variable.
ClangExpressionVariable is now meant to be the
container for all variable information. It has
several optional components that hold data for
different subsystems.
ClangPersistentVariable has been removed; we now
use ClangExpressionVariable instead.
llvm-svn: 111600
expression. It is now possible to do things like this:
(lldb) expr int $i = 5; $i + 1
$0 = (int) 6
(lldb) expr $i + 3
$1 = (int) 8
(lldb) expr $1 + $0
$2 = (int) 14
As a bonus, this allowed us to move printing of
expression results into the ClangPersistentVariable
class. This code needs a bit of refactoring -- in
particular, ClangExpressionDeclMap has eaten one too
many bacteria and needs to undergo mitosis -- but the
infrastructure appears to be holding up nicely.
llvm-svn: 110896
expression parser. It is now possible to type:
(lldb) expr int $i = 5; $i + 1
(int) 6
(lldb) expr $i + 2
(int) 7
The skeleton for automatic result variables is
also implemented. The changes affect:
- the process, which now contains a
ClangPersistentVariables object that holds
persistent variables associated with it
- the expression parser, which now uses
the persistent variables during variable
lookup
- TaggedASTType, where I loaded some commonly
used tags into a header so that they are
interchangeable between different clients of
the class
llvm-svn: 110777
made IR-based expression evaluation the default.
Also added a new class to hold persistent variables.
The class is empty as yet while I write up a design
document for what it will do. Also the place where
it is currently created (by the Expression command)
is certainly wrong.
llvm-svn: 110415
including superclass members. This involved ensuring
that access control was ignored, and ensuring that
the operands of BitCasts were properly scanned for
variables that needed importing.
Also laid the groundwork for declaring objects of
custom types; however, this functionality is disabled
for now because of a potential loop in ASTImporter.
llvm-svn: 110174
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
call Objective-C methods from expressions. Also added
some more logging to the function-calling thread plan
so that we can see the registers when a function
finishes.
Also documented things maybe a bit better.
llvm-svn: 109938
Right now we mock up the function as a variadic
function when generating the IR for the call; we need
to eventually make the function be the right type if
the type is available.
llvm-svn: 109543
it returns a list of functions as a SymbolContextList.
Rewrote the clients of SymbolContext to use this
SymbolContextList.
Rewrote some of the providers of the data to SymbolContext
to make them respect preferences as to whether the list
should be cleared first; propagated that change out.
ClangExpressionDeclMap and ClangASTSource use this new
function list to properly generate function definitions -
even for functions that don't have a prototype in the
debug information.
llvm-svn: 109476
spurious guard variables on expression statics.
Updated the AST result synthesizer to eliminate the
unneeded result pointer.
Very rudimentary expressions now evaluate correctly
in the target using the new JIT-based mechanism.
llvm-svn: 109317
- When we JIT an expression, we print the disassembly
of the generated code
- When we put the structure into the target, we print
the individual entries in the structure byte for
byte.
llvm-svn: 109278
and moved it to its own header file for cleanliness.
Added more logging to ClangFunction so that we can
diagnose crashes in the executing expression.
Added code to extract the result of the expression
from the struct that is passed to the JIT-compiled
code.
llvm-svn: 109199
defines that are in "llvm/Support/MachO.h". This should allow ObjectFileMachO
and ObjectContainerUniversalMachO to be able to be cross compiled in Linux.
Also did some cleanup on the ASTType by renaming it to ClangASTType and
renaming the header file. Moved a lot of "AST * + opaque clang type *"
functionality from lldb_private::Type over into ClangASTType.
llvm-svn: 109046
used by the JIT compiled expression, including the
result of the expression.
Also added a new class, ASTType, which encapsulates an
opaque Clang type and its associated AST context.
Refactored ClangExpressionDeclMap to use ASTTypes,
significantly reducing the possibility of mixups of
types from different AST contexts.
