- you can now define a Python class as a synthetic children producer for a type
the class must adhere to this "interface":
def __init__(self, valobj, dict):
def get_child_at_index(self, index):
def get_child_index(self, name):
then using type synth add -l className typeName
(e.g. type synth add -l fooSynthProvider foo)
(This is still WIP with lots to be added)
A small test case is available also as reference

API.
SBTarget changes include changing:
bool
SBTarget::ResolveLoadAddress (lldb::addr_t vm_addr,
lldb::SBAddress& addr);
to be:
lldb::SBAddress
SBTarget::ResolveLoadAddress (lldb::addr_t vm_addr);
SBAddress can how contruct itself using a load address and a target
which can be used to resolve the address:
SBAddress (lldb::addr_t load_addr, lldb::SBTarget &target);
This will actually just call the new SetLoadAddress accessor:
void
SetLoadAddress (lldb::addr_t load_addr,
lldb::SBTarget &target);
This function will always succeed in making a SBAddress object
that can be used in API calls (even if "target" isn't valid).
If "target" is valid and there are sections currently loaded,
then it will resolve the address to a section offset address if
it can. Else an address with a NULL section and an offset that is
the "load_addr" that was passed in. We do this because a load address
might be from the heap or stack.

(e.g. ${var%S}). this might already be the default if your variable is of an aggregate type
new feature: synthetic filters. you can restrict the number of children for your variables to only a meaningful subset
- the restricted list of children obeys the typical rules (e.g. summaries prevail over children)
- one-line summaries show only the filtered (synthetic) children, if you type an expanded summary string, or you use Python scripts, all the real children are accessible
- to provide a synthetic children list use the "type synth add" command, as in:
type synth add foo_type --child varA --child varB[0] --child varC->packet->flags[1-4]
(you can use ., ->, single-item array operator [N] and bitfield operator [N-M]; array slice access is not supported, giving simplified names to expression paths is not supported)
- a new -S option to frame variable and target variable lets you override synthetic children and instead show real ones
llvm-svn: 135731
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
The "systemwide summaries" feature has been removed and replaced with a more general and
powerful mechanism.
Categories:
- summaries can now be grouped into buckets, called "categories" (it is expected that categories
correspond to libraries and/or runtime environments)
- to add a summary to a category, you can use the -w option to type summary add and give
a category name (e.g. type summary add -f "foo" foo_t -w foo_category)
- categories are by default disabled, which means LLDB will not look into them for summaries,
to enable a category use "type category enable". once a category is enabled, LLDB will
look into that category for summaries. the rules are quite trivial: every enabled category
is searched for an exact match. if an exact match is nowhere to be found, any match is
searched for in every enabled category (whether it involves cascading, going to base classes,
...). categories are searched into the order in which they were enabled (the most recently
enabled category first, then the second most and so on..)
- by default, most commands that deal with summaries, use a category named "default" if no
explicit -w parameter is given (the observable behavior of LLDB should not change when
categories are not explicitly used)
- the systemwide summaries are now part of a "system" category
llvm-svn: 135463
- help type summary add now gives some hints on how to use it
frame variable and target variable now have a --no-summary-depth (-Y) option:
- simply using -Y without an argument will skip one level of summaries, i.e.
your aggregate types will expand their children and display no summary, even
if they have one. children will behave normally
- using -Y<int>, as in -Y4, -Y7, ..., will skip as many levels of summaries as
given by the <int> parameter (obviously, -Y and -Y1 are the same thing). children
beneath the given depth level will behave normally
-Y0 is the same as omitting the --no-summary-depth parameter entirely
This option replaces the defined-but-unimplemented --no-summary
llvm-svn: 135336
- Summaries for char*, const char* and char[] are loaded at startup as
system-wide summaries. This means you cannot delete them unless you use
the -a option to type summary delete/clear
- You can add your own system-wide summaries by using the -w option to type
summary add
Several code improvements for the Python summaries feature
llvm-svn: 135326
represent pointers and arrays by adding an extra parameter to the
SBValue
SBValue::GetChildAtIndex (uint32_t idx,
DynamicValueType use_dynamic,
bool can_create_synthetic);
The new "can_create_synthetic" will allow you to create child values that
aren't actually a part of the original type. So if you code like:
int *foo_ptr = ...
And you have a SBValue that contains the value for "foo_ptr":
SBValue foo_value = ...
You can now get the "foo_ptr[12]" item by doing this:
v = foo_value.GetChiltAtIndex (12, lldb.eNoDynamicValues, True);
Normall the "foo_value" would only have one child value (an integer), but
we can create "synthetic" child values by treating the pointer as an array.
Likewise if you have code like:
int array[2];
array_value = ....
v = array_value.GetChiltAtIndex (0); // Success, v will be valid
v = array_value.GetChiltAtIndex (1); // Success, v will be valid
v = array_value.GetChiltAtIndex (2); // Fail, v won't be valid, "2" is not a valid zero based index in "array"
But if you use the ability to create synthetic children:
v = array_value.GetChiltAtIndex (0, lldb.eNoDynamicValues, True); // Success, v will be valid
v = array_value.GetChiltAtIndex (1, lldb.eNoDynamicValues, True); // Success, v will be valid
v = array_value.GetChiltAtIndex (2, lldb.eNoDynamicValues, True); // Success, v will be valid
llvm-svn: 135292
- you can use a Python script to write a summary string for data-types, in one of
three ways:
-P option and typing the script a line at a time
-s option and passing a one-line Python script
-F option and passing the name of a Python function
these options all work for the "type summary add" command
your Python code (if provided through -P or -s) is wrapped in a function
that accepts two parameters: valobj (a ValueObject) and dict (an LLDB
internal dictionary object). if you use -F and give a function name,
you're expected to define the function on your own and with the right
prototype. your function, however defined, must return a Python string
- test case for the Python summary feature
- a few quirks:
Python summaries cannot have names, and cannot use regex as type names
both issues will be fixed ASAP
major redesign of type summary code:
- type summary working with strings and type summary working with Python code
are two classes, with a common base class SummaryFormat
- SummaryFormat classes now are able to actively format objects rather than
just aggregating data
- cleaner code to print descriptions for summaries
the public API now exports a method to easily navigate a ValueObject hierarchy
New InputReaderEZ and PriorityPointerPair classes
Several minor fixes and improvements
llvm-svn: 135238
The reasom of the crash is because of a missing entry in the argument table corresponding to eArgTypeUnsignedInteger.
Add such entry and modify the call site of the crash to go through a fail-fast API to retrieve the argument table.
Add a regression test to TestHelp.py.
llvm-svn: 135206
clang/gcc/llvm-gcc. If the first breakpoint is due to stop at an inlined
frame, test that the call site corresponds to where it should be. Also add
an expecr for a second break stop, if the first break stop corresponds to an
inlined call frame #0.

llvm-svn: 135100
- formats %s %char[] %c and %a now work to print 0-terminated c-strings if they are applied to a char* or char[] even without the [] operator (e.g. ${var%s})
- array formats (char[], intN[], ..) now work when applied to an array of a scalar type even without the [] operator (e.g. ${var%int32_t[]})
LLDB will not crash because of endless loop when trying to obtain a summary for an object that has no value and references itself in its summary string
In many cases, a wrong summary string will now display an "<error>" message instead of giving out an empty string
llvm-svn: 135007
- a new --name option for "type summary add" lets you give a name to a summary
- a new --summary option for "frame variable" lets you bind a named summary to one or more variables
${var%s} now works for printing the value of 0-terminated CStrings
type format test case now tests for cascading
- this is disabled on GCC because GCC may end up stripping typedef chains, basically breaking cascading
new design for the FormatNavigator class
new template class CleanUp2 meant to support cleanup routines with 1 additional parameter beyond resource handle

is just wrong and resulted in the inferior's output getting mixed into the GDB remote communication's
log file. Change all test cases to not pass os.ctermid() and either use SBTarget.LaunchSimple() or
SBTarget.Launch() and pass None as stdin_path/stdout_path/srderr_path to use a pseudo terminal.

before issuing API calls to find the global variable and to get its value.
rdar://problem/9700873 has been updated to reflect the latest status. The dwarf case
now does not seg fault if the inferior is not started; instead, for dwarf case, the
value retrieved from the global variable is None.
llvm-svn: 134909
Add a usage example of SBEvent APIs.
o SBEvent.h and SBListener.h:
Add method docstrings for SBEvent.h and SBListener.h, and example usage of SBEvent into
the class docstring of SBEvent.
o lldb.swig:
Add typemap for SBEvent::SBEvent (uint32_t event, const char *cstr, uint32_t cstr_len)
so that we can use, in Python, obj2 = lldb.SBEvent(0, "abc") to create an SBEvent.
llvm-svn: 134766
new GetValueForExpressionPath() method in ValueObject to navigate expression paths in a more bitfield vs slices aware way
changes to the varformats.html document (WIP)
llvm-svn: 134679
group class: OptionGroupVariable. It gets initialized with
a boolean that indicates if the frame specific options are
included so that this can be used in both the "frame variable"
and "target variable" commands.
Removed the global functionality from the "frame variable"
command. Users should switch to using the "target variable"
command.
llvm-svn: 134594
would return instead of a less than helpful "name: '%s'" description.
Make sure that when we ask for the error from a ValueObject object we
first update the value if needed.
Cleaned up some SB functions to use internal functions and not re-call
through the public API when possible.
llvm-svn: 134497
- ${*expr} now simply means to dereference expr before actually using it
- bitfields, array ranges and pointer ranges now work in a (hopefully) more natural and language-compliant way
a new class TypeHierarchyNavigator replicates the behavior of the FormatManager in going through type hierarchies
when one-lining summary strings, children's summaries can be used as well as values
llvm-svn: 134458
- type names can now be regular expressions (exact matching is done first, and is faster)
- integral (and floating) types can be printed as bitfields, i.e. ${var[low-high]} will extract bits low thru high of the value and print them
- array subscripts are supported, both for arrays and for pointers. the syntax is ${*var[low-high]}, or ${*var[]} to print the whole array (the latter only works for statically sized arrays)
- summary is now printed by default when a summary string references a variable. if that variable's type has no summary, value is printed instead. to force value, you can use %V as a format specifier
- basic support for ObjectiveC:
- ObjectiveC inheritance chains are now walked through
- %@ can be specified as a summary format, to print the ObjectiveC runtime description for an object
- some bug fixes
llvm-svn: 134293
"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.

implements three commands:
type summary add <format> <typename1> [<typename2> ...]
type summary delete <typename1> [<typename2> ...]
type summary list [<typename1> [<typename2>] ...]
type summary clear
This allows you to specify the default format that will be used to display
summaries for variables, shown when you use "frame variable" or "expression", or the SBValue classes.
Examples:
type summary add "x = ${var.x}" Point
type summary list
type summary add --one-liner SimpleType
llvm-svn: 134108
Fixed crashes for SBValue fuzz calls.
And change 'bool SBType::IsPointerType(void)' to
'bool SBType::IsAPointerType(void)' to avoid name collision with the static 'bool SBType::IsPointerType(void *)'
function, which SWIG cannot handle.
llvm-svn: 134096
Test "print object" where another thread blocks the print object from making progress.
Set a breakpoint on the line in my_pthread_routine. Then switch threads
to the main thread, and do print the lock_me object. Since that will
try to get the lock already gotten by my_pthread_routime thread, it will
have to switch to running all threads, and that should then succeed.
