spin up a temporary "private state thread" that will respond to events from the lower level process plugins. This check-in should work to do
that, but it is still buggy. However, if you don't call functions on the private state thread, these changes make no difference.
This patch also moves the code in the AppleObjCRuntime step-through-trampoline handler that might call functions (in the case where the debug
server doesn't support the memory allocate/deallocate packet) out to a safe place to do that call.

Fixed type lookups to "do the right thing". Prior to this fix, looking up a type using "foo::bar" would result in a type list that contains all types that had "bar" as a basename unless the symbol file was able to match fully qualified names (which our DWARF parser does not).
This fix will allow type matches to be made based on the basename and then have the types that don't match filtered out. Types by name can be fully qualified, or partially qualified with the new "bool exact_match" parameter to the Module::FindTypes() method.
This fixes some issue that we discovered with dynamic type resolution as well as improves the overall type lookups in LLDB.
llvm-svn: 153482
This takes two important changes:
- Calling blocks is now supported. You need to
cast their return values, but that works fine.
- We now can correctly run JIT-compiled
expressions that use floating-point numbers.
Also, we have taken a fix that allows us to
ignore access control in Objective-C as in C++.
llvm-svn: 152286
This fix really needed to happen as a previous fix I had submitted for
calculating symbol sizes made many symbols appear to have zero size since
the function that was calculating the symbol size was calling another function
that would cause the calculation to happen again. This resulted in some symbols
having zero size when they shouldn't. This could then cause infinite stack
traces and many other side affects.
llvm-svn: 152244
I started work on being able to add symbol files after a debug session
had started with a new "target symfile add" command and quickly ran into
problems with stale Address objects in breakpoint locations that had
lldb_private::Section pointers into modules that had been removed or
replaced. This also let to grabbing stale modules from those sections.
So I needed to thread harded the Address, Section and related objects.
To do this I modified the ModuleChild class to now require a ModuleSP
on initialization so that a weak reference can created. I also changed
all places that were handing out "Section *" to have them hand out SectionSP.
All ObjectFile, SymbolFile and SymbolVendors were inheriting from ModuleChild
so all of the find plug-in, static creation function and constructors now
require ModuleSP references instead of Module *.
Address objects now have weak references to their sections which can
safely go stale when a module gets destructed.
This checkin doesn't complete the "target symfile add" command, but it
does get us a lot clioser to being able to do such things without a high
risk of crashing or memory corruption.
llvm-svn: 151336
objects for the backlink to the lldb_private::Process. The issues we were
running into before was someone was holding onto a shared pointer to a
lldb_private::Thread for too long, and the lldb_private::Process parent object
would get destroyed and the lldb_private::Thread had a "Process &m_process"
member which would just treat whatever memory that used to be a Process as a
valid Process. This was mostly happening for lldb_private::StackFrame objects
that had a member like "Thread &m_thread". So this completes the internal
strong/weak changes.
Documented the ExecutionContext and ExecutionContextRef classes so that our
LLDB developers can understand when and where to use ExecutionContext and
ExecutionContextRef objects.
llvm-svn: 151009
the lldb_private::StackFrame objects hold onto a weak pointer to the thread
object. The lldb_private::StackFrame objects the the most volatile objects
we have as when we are doing single stepping, frames can often get lost or
thrown away, only to be re-created as another object that still refers to the
same frame. We have another bug tracking that. But we need to be able to
have frames no longer be able to get the thread when they are not part of
a thread anymore, and this is the first step (this fix makes that possible
but doesn't implement it yet).
Also changed lldb_private::ExecutionContextScope to return shared pointers to
all objects in the execution context to further thread harden the internals.
llvm-svn: 150871
internals. The first part of this is to use a new class:
lldb_private::ExecutionContextRef
This class holds onto weak pointers to the target, process, thread and frame
and it also contains the thread ID and frame Stack ID in case the thread and
frame objects go away and come back as new objects that represent the same
logical thread/frame.
ExecutionContextRef objcets have accessors to access shared pointers for
the target, process, thread and frame which might return NULL if the backing
object is no longer available. This allows for references to persistent program
state without needing to hold a shared pointer to each object and potentially
keeping that object around for longer than it needs to be.
You can also "Lock" and ExecutionContextRef (which contains weak pointers)
object into an ExecutionContext (which contains strong, or shared pointers)
with code like
ExecutionContext exe_ctx (my_obj->GetExectionContextRef().Lock());
llvm-svn: 150801
due to RTTI worries since llvm and clang don't use RTTI, but I was able to
switch back with no issues as far as I can tell. Once the RTTI issue wasn't
an issue, we were looking for a way to properly track weak pointers to objects
to solve some of the threading issues we have been running into which naturally
led us back to std::tr1::weak_ptr. We also wanted the ability to make a shared
pointer from just a pointer, which is also easily solved using the
std::tr1::enable_shared_from_this class.
The main reason for this move back is so we can start properly having weak
references to objects. Currently a lldb_private::Thread class has a refrence
to its parent lldb_private::Process. This doesn't work well when we now hand
out a SBThread object that contains a shared pointer to a lldb_private::Thread
as this SBThread can be held onto by external clients and if they end up
using one of these objects we can easily crash.
So the next task is to start adopting std::tr1::weak_ptr where ever it makes
sense which we can do with lldb_private::Debugger, lldb_private::Target,
lldb_private::Process, lldb_private::Thread, lldb_private::StackFrame, and
many more objects now that they are no longer using intrusive ref counted
pointer objects (you can't do std::tr1::weak_ptr functionality with intrusive
pointers).

are made up from the ObjC runtime symbols. For now the latter contain nothing but the fact that the name
describes an ObjC class, and so are not useful for things like dynamic types.
llvm-svn: 148059
as part of the thread format output.
Currently this is only done for the ThreadPlanStepOut.
Add a convenience API ABI::GetReturnValueObject.
Change the ValueObject::EvaluationPoint to BE an ExecutionContextScope, rather than
trying to hand out one of its subsidiary object's pointers. That way this will always
be good.
llvm-svn: 146806
size_t
SBProcess::ReadCStringFromMemory (addr_t addr, void *buf, size_t size, lldb::SBError &error);
uint64_t
SBProcess::ReadUnsignedFromMemory (addr_t addr, uint32_t byte_size, lldb::SBError &error);
lldb::addr_t
SBProcess::ReadPointerFromMemory (addr_t addr, lldb::SBError &error);
These ReadCStringFromMemory() has some SWIG type magic that makes it return the
python string directly and the "buf" is not needed:
error = SBError()
max_cstr_len = 256
cstr = lldb.process.ReadCStringFromMemory (0x1000, max_cstr_len, error)
if error.Success():
....
The other two functions behave as expteced. This will make it easier to get integer values
from the inferior process that are correctly byte swapped. Also for pointers, the correct
pointer byte size will be used.
Also cleaned up a few printf style warnings for the 32 bit lldb build on darwin.
llvm-svn: 146636
and fixes we did. Now that objective C classes are represented by symbols with
their own type, there were a few more places in the objective C code that needed
to be fixed when searching for dynamic types.
Cleaned up the objective C runtime plug-in a bit to not keep having to create
constant strings and make one less memory access when we find an "isa" in the
objective C cache.
llvm-svn: 145799
to find Objective-C class types by looking in the
symbol tables for the individual object files.
I did this as follows:
- I added code to SymbolFileSymtab that vends
Clang types for symbols matching the pattern
"_OBJC_CLASS_$_NSMyClassName," making them
appear as Objective-C classes. This only occurs
in modules that do not have debug information,
since otherwise SymbolFileDWARF would be in
charge of looking up types.
- I made a new SymbolVendor subclass for the
Apple Objective-C runtime that is in charge of
making global lookups of Objective-C types. It
currently just sends out type lookup requests to
the appropriate SymbolFiles, but in the future we
will probably extend it to query the runtime more
completely.
I also modified a testcase whose behavior is changed
by the fact that we now actually return an Objective-C
type for __NSCFString.
llvm-svn: 145526
"object borked"... Also made the error when the checker fails reflect this fact rather than
report a crash at 0x0.
Also a little cleanup:
- StopInfoMachException had a redundant copy of the description string.
- ThreadPlanCallFunction had a redundant copy of the thread, and had a
copy of the process that it didn't really need.
llvm-svn: 143419
so we don't have to lookup types in a type list by ID.
Changed the DWARF parser to remove the "can externally complete myself" bits
from the type when we are in the process of completing the type itself to
avoid an onslaught of external visible decl requests from the
clang::ExternalASTSource.
llvm-svn: 142461
etc to specific source files.
Added SB API's to specify these source files & also more than one module.
Added an "exact" option to CompileUnit's FindLineEntry API.
llvm-svn: 140362
shared pointers.
Changed the ExecutionContext over to use shared pointers for
the target, process, thread and frame since these objects can
easily go away at any time and any object that was holding onto
an ExecutionContext was running the risk of using a bad object.
Now that the shared pointers for target, process, thread and
frame are just a single pointer (they all use the instrusive
shared pointers) the execution context is much safer and still
the same size.
Made the shared pointers in the the ExecutionContext class protected
and made accessors for all of the various ways to get at the pointers,
references, and shared pointers.
llvm-svn: 140298
We had some cases where getting the shared pointer for a module from
the global module list was causing a performance issue when debugging
with DWARF in .o files. Now that the module uses intrusive ref counts,
we can easily convert any pointer to a shared pointer.
llvm-svn: 139983
- introduced two new classes ValueObjectConstResultChild and ValueObjectConstResultImpl: the first one is a ValueObjectChild obtained from
a ValueObjectConstResult, the second is a common implementation backend for VOCR and VOCRCh of method calls meant to read through pointers stored
in frozen objects ; now such reads transparently move from host to target as required
- as a consequence of the above, removed code that made target-memory copies of expression results in several places throughout LLDB, and also
removed code that enabled to recognize an expression result VO as such
- introduced a new GetPointeeData() method in ValueObject that lets you read a given amount of objects of type T from a VO
representing a T* or T[], and doing dereferences transparently
in private layer it returns a DataExtractor ; in public layer it returns an instance of a newly created lldb::SBData
- as GetPointeeData() does the right thing for both frozen and non-frozen ValueObject's, reimplemented ReadPointedString() to use it
en lieu of doing the raw read itself
- introduced a new GetData() method in ValueObject that lets you get a copy of the data that backs the ValueObject (for pointers,
this returns the address without any previous dereferencing steps ; for arrays it actually reads the whole chunk of memory)
in public layer this returns an SBData, just like GetPointeeData()
- introduced a new CreateValueFromData() method in SBValue that lets you create a new SBValue from a chunk of data wrapped in an SBData
the limitation to remember for this kind of SBValue is that they have no address: extracting the address-of for these objects (with any
of GetAddress(), GetLoadAddress() and AddressOf()) will return invalid values
- added several tests to check that "p"-ing objects (STL classes, char* and char[]) will do the right thing
Solved a bug where global pointers to global variables were not dereferenced correctly for display
New target setting "max-string-summary-length" gives the maximum number of characters to show in a string when summarizing it, instead of the hardcoded 128
Solved a bug where the summary for char[] and char* would not be shown if the ValueObject's were dumped via the "p" command
Removed m_pointers_point_to_load_addrs from ValueObject. Introduced a new m_address_type_of_children, which each ValueObject can set to tell the address type
of any pointers and/or references it creates. In the current codebase, this is load address most of the time (the only notable exception being file
addresses that generate file address children UNLESS we have a live process)
Updated help text for summary-string
Fixed an issue in STL formatters where std::stlcontainer::iterator would match the container's synthetic children providers
Edited the syntax and help for some commands to have proper argument types
llvm-svn: 139160
plug-ins are add on plug-ins for the lldb_private::Process class that can add
thread contexts that are read from memory. It is common in kernels to have
a lot of threads that are not currently executing on any cores (JTAG debugging
also follows this sort of thing) and are context switched out whose state is
stored in memory data structures. Clients can now subclass the OperatingSystem
plug-ins and then make sure their Create functions correcltly only enable
themselves when the right binary/target triple are being debugged. The
operating system plug-ins get a chance to attach themselves to processes just
after launching or attaching and are given a lldb_private::Process object
pointer which can be inspected to see if the main executable, target triple,
or any shared libraries match a case where the OS plug-in should be used.
Currently the OS plug-ins can create new threads, define the register contexts
for these threads (which can all be different if desired), and populate and
manage the thread info (stop reason, registers in the register context) as
the debug session goes on.
llvm-svn: 138228
The category is enabled by default. If you run into issues with it, disable it and the previous behavior of LLDB is restored
** This is a temporary solution. The general solution to having formatters pulled in at startup should involve going through the Platform.
Fixed an issue in type synthetic list where a category with synthetic providers in it was not shown if all the providers were regex-based
llvm-svn: 137850
If no docstring is provided, a default help text is created
LLDB will refuse to create scripted commands if the scripting language is anything but Python
Some additional comments in AppleObjCRuntimeV2.cpp to describe the memory layout expected by the dynamic type lookup code
llvm-svn: 137801
- see the test case in lang/objc/objc-dynamic-value for an example
Objective-C dynamic type lookup now works for every Objective-C type
- previously, true dynamic lookup was only performed for type id
llvm-svn: 136763
Fixed a bug where Objective-C variables coming out of the expression parser could crash the Python synthetic providers:
- expression parser output has a "frozen data" component, which is a byte-exact copy of the value (in host memory),
if trying to read into memory based on the host address, LLDB would crash. we are now passing the correct (target)
pointer to the Python code
Objective-C "id" variables are now formatted according to their dynamic type, if the -d option to frame variable is used:
- Code based on the Objective-C 2.0 runtime is used to obtain this information without running code on the target
llvm-svn: 136695
- Completely new implementation of SBType
- Various enhancements in several other classes
Python synthetic children providers for std::vector<T>, std::list<T> and std::map<K,V>:
- these return the actual elements into the container as the children of the container
- basic template name parsing that works (hopefully) on both Clang and GCC
- find them in examples/synthetic and in the test suite in functionalities/data-formatter/data-formatter-python-synth
New summary string token ${svar :
- the syntax is just the same as in ${var but this new token lets you read the values
coming from the synthetic children provider instead of the actual children
- Python providers above provide a synthetic child len that returns the number of elements
into the container
Full bug fix for the issue in which getting byte size for a non-complete type would crash LLDB
Several other fixes, including:
- inverted the order of arguments in the ClangASTType constructor
- EvaluationPoint now only returns SharedPointer's to Target and Process
- the help text for several type subcommands now correctly indicates argument-less options as such
llvm-svn: 136504
Code cleanup:
- The Format Manager implementation is now split between two files: FormatClasses.{h|cpp} where the
actual formatter classes (ValueFormat, SummaryFormat, ...) are implemented and
FormatManager.{h|cpp} where the infrastructure classes (FormatNavigator, FormatManager, ...)
are contained. The wrapper code always remains in Debugger.{h|cpp}
- Several leftover fields, methods and comments from previous design choices have been removed
type category subcommands (enable, disable, delete) now can take a list of category names as input
- for type category enable, saying "enable A B C" is the same as saying
enable C
enable B
enable A
(the ordering is relevant in enabling categories, and it is expected that a user typing
enable A B C wants to look into category A, then into B, then into C and not the other
way round)
- for the other two commands, the order is not really relevant (however, the same inverted ordering
is used for consistency)
llvm-svn: 135494
variables prior to running your binary. Zero filled sections now get
section data correctly filled with zeroes when Target::ReadMemory
reads from the object file section data.
Added new option groups and option values for file lists. I still need
to hook up all of the options to "target variable" to allow more complete
introspection by file and shlib.
Added the ability for ValueObjectVariable objects to be created with
only the target as the execution context. This allows them to be read
from the object files through Target::ReadMemory(...).
Added a "virtual Module * GetModule()" function to the ValueObject
class. By default it will look to the parent variable object and
return its module. The module is needed when we have global variables
that have file addresses (virtual addresses that are specific to
module object files) and in turn allows global variables to be displayed
prior to running.
Removed all of the unused proxy object support that bit rotted in
lldb_private::Value.
Replaced a lot of places that used "FileSpec::Compare (lhs, rhs) == 0" code
with the more efficient "FileSpec::Equal (lhs, rhs)".
Improved logging in GDB remote plug-in.
llvm-svn: 134579
"struct ", "class ", and "union " from the start of any type names that are
extracted from clang QualType objects. I had to fix test suite cases that
were expecting the struct/union/class prefix to be there.
llvm-svn: 134132
of duplicated code from appearing all over LLDB:
lldb::addr_t
Process::ReadPointerFromMemory (lldb::addr_t vm_addr, Error &error);
bool
Process::WritePointerToMemory (lldb::addr_t vm_addr, lldb::addr_t ptr_value, Error &error);
size_t
Process::ReadScalarIntegerFromMemory (lldb::addr_t addr, uint32_t byte_size, bool is_signed, Scalar &scalar, Error &error);
size_t
Process::WriteScalarToMemory (lldb::addr_t vm_addr, const Scalar &scalar, uint32_t size, Error &error);
in lldb_private::Process the following functions were renamed:
From:
uint64_t
Process::ReadUnsignedInteger (lldb::addr_t load_addr,
size_t byte_size,
Error &error);
To:
uint64_t
Process::ReadUnsignedIntegerFromMemory (lldb::addr_t load_addr,
size_t byte_size,
uint64_t fail_value,
Error &error);
Cleaned up a lot of code that was manually doing what the above functions do
to use the functions listed above.
Added the ability to get a scalar value as a buffer that can be written down
to a process (byte swapping the Scalar value if needed):
uint32_t
Scalar::GetAsMemoryData (void *dst,
uint32_t dst_len,
lldb::ByteOrder dst_byte_order,
Error &error) const;
The "dst_len" can be smaller that the size of the scalar and the least
significant bytes will be written. "dst_len" can also be larger and the
most significant bytes will be padded with zeroes.
Centralized the code that adds or removes address bits for callable and opcode
addresses into lldb_private::Target:
lldb::addr_t
Target::GetCallableLoadAddress (lldb::addr_t load_addr, AddressClass addr_class) const;
lldb::addr_t
Target::GetOpcodeLoadAddress (lldb::addr_t load_addr, AddressClass addr_class) const;
All necessary lldb_private::Address functions now use the target versions so
changes should only need to happen in one place if anything needs updating.
Fixed up a lot of places that were calling :
addr_t
Address::GetLoadAddress(Target*);
to call the Address::GetCallableLoadAddress() or Address::GetOpcodeLoadAddress()
as needed. There were many places in the breakpoint code where things could
go wrong for ARM if these weren't used.
