We are introducing a new Logger class on the Python side. This has the same purpose, but is unrelated, to the C++ logging facility
The Pythonic logging can be enabled by using the following scripting commands:
(lldb) script Logger._lldb_formatters_debug_level = {0,1,2,...}
0 = no logging
1 = do log
2 = flush after logging each line - slower but safer
3 or more = each time a Logger is constructed, log the function that has created it
more log levels may be added, each one being more log-active than the previous
by default, the log output will come out on your screen, to direct it to a file:
(lldb) script Logger._lldb_formatters_debug_filename = 'filename'
that will make the output go to the file - set to None to disable the file output and get screen logging back
Logging has been enabled for the C++ STL formatters and for Cocoa class NSData - more logging will follow
synthetic children providers for classes list and map (both libstdcpp and libcxx) now have internal capping for safety reasons
this will fix crashers where a malformed list or map would not ever meet our termination conditions
to set the cap to a different value:
(lldb) script {gnu_libstdcpp|libcxx}.{map|list}_capping_size = new_cap (by default, it is 255)
you can optionally disable the loop detection algorithm for lists
(lldb) script {gnu_libstdcpp|libcxx}.list_uses_loop_detector = False
llvm-svn: 153676
A new setting enable-synthetic-value is provided on the target to disable this behavior.
There also is a new GetNonSyntheticValue() API call on SBValue to go back from synthetic to non-synthetic. There is no call to go from non-synthetic to synthetic.
The test suite has been changed accordingly.
Fallout from changes to type searching: an hack has to be played to make it possible to use maps that contain std::string due to the special name replacement operated by clang
Fixing a test case that was using libstdcpp instead of libc++ - caught as a consequence of said changes to type searching
llvm-svn: 153495
parse the output from "log enable --timestamp ...." and converts it to be relative
to the first timestamp and shows the time deltas between log lines. This can also
be used as a stand along script outside of lldb:
./delta.py log.txt
llvm-svn: 153288
(lldb) file /path/to/file.so
(lldb) crashlog crash.log
....
Then if the file.so has already been loaded it will use the one that is already in LLDB without trying to match up the paths.
llvm-svn: 153075
Changes to synthetic children:
- the update(self): function can now (optionally) return a value - if it returns boolean value True, ValueObjectSyntheticFilter will not clear its caches across stop-points
this should allow better performance for Python-based synthetic children when one can be sure that the child ValueObjects have not changed
- making a difference between a synthetic VO and a VO with a synthetic value: now a ValueObjectSyntheticFilter will not return itself as its own synthetic value, but will (correctly)
claim to itself be synthetic
- cleared up the internal synthetic children architecture to make a more consistent use of pointers and references instead of shared pointers when possible
- major cleanup of unnecessary #include, data and functions in ValueObjectSyntheticFilter itself
- removed the SyntheticValueType enum and replaced it with a plain boolean (to which it was equivalent in the first place)
Some clean ups to the summary generation code
Centralized the code that clears out user-visible strings and data in ValueObject
More efficient summaries for libc++ containers
llvm-svn: 153061
This has been done for those summaries where the difference is only cosmetic (e.g. naming things as items instead of values, ...)
The LLDB output style has been preserved when it provides more information (e.g. telling the type as well as the value of an NSNumber)
Test cases have been updated to reflect the updated output style where necessary
llvm-svn: 152592
std::string has a summary provider
std::vector std::list and std::map have both a summary and a synthetic children provider
Given the usage of a custom namespace (std::__1::classname) for the implementation of libc++, we keep both libstdcpp and libc++ formatters enabled at the same time since that raises no conflicts and enabled for seamless transition between the two
The formatters for libc++ reside in a libcxx category, and are loaded from libcxx.py (to be found in examples/synthetic)
The formatters-stl test cases have been divided to be separate for libcxx and libstdcpp. This separation is necessary because
(a) we need different compiler flags for libc++ than for libstdcpp
(b) libc++ inlines a lot more than libstdcpp and some code changes were required to accommodate this difference
llvm-svn: 152570
This solves an issue where a ValueObject was getting a wrong children count (usually, a huge value) and trying to resize the vector of children to fit that many ValueObject*
Added a loop detection algorithm to the synthetic children provider for std::list
Added a few more checks to the synthetic children provider for std::vector
Both std::list and std::vector's synthetic children providers now cache the count of children instead of recomputing it every time
std::map has a field that stores the count, so there is little need to cache it on our side
llvm-svn: 152371
(a) the SystemParameters object is now passed around to the formatters; doing so enables the formatters to reuse computed values for things such as pointer-size and endianness
instead of repeatedly computing these on their own
(b) replacing the global ISA cache with a per-process one
(c) providing a per-process types cache where each formatter can store the types it needs to operate, and be sure to find them the next time without recalculating them
this also enables formatters to share types if they agree on a local naming convention
(d) lazy fetching of data from Objective-C runtime data structures
data is fetched as needed and we stop reading as soon as we determine that an ISA is actually garbage
llvm-svn: 152052
fixed a few potential NULL-pointer derefs in ValueObject
we have a way to provide docstrings for properties we add to the SWIG layer - a few of these properties have a docstring already, more will come in future commits
added a new bunch of properties to SBData to make it more natural and Python-like to access the data they contain
llvm-svn: 151962
(b) fixes and improvements to the formatters for NSDate and NSString
(c) adding an introspection formatter for NSCountedSet
(d) making the Objective-C formatters test cases pass on both 64 and 32 bit
one of the test cases is marked as expected failure on i386 - support needs to be added to the LLDB core for it to pass
llvm-svn: 151826
2) providing an updated list of tagged pointers values for the objc_runtime module - hopefully this one is final
3) changing ValueObject::DumpValueObject to use an Options class instead of providing a bulky list of parameters to pass around
this change had been laid out previously, but some clients of DumpValueObject() were still using the old prototype and some arguments
were treated in a special way and passed in directly instead of through the Options class
4) providing new GetSummaryAsCString() and GetValueAsCString() calls in ValueObject that are passed a formatter object and a destination string
and fill the string by formatting themselves using the formatter argument instead of the default for the current ValueObject
5) removing the option to have formats and summaries stick to a variable for the current stoppoint
after some debate, we are going with non-sticky: if you say frame variable --format hex foo, the hex format will only be applied to the current command execution and not stick when redisplaying foo
the other option would be full stickiness, which means that foo would be formatted as hex for its whole lifetime
we are open to suggestions on what feels "natural" in this regard
llvm-svn: 151801
a) adds a Python summary provider for NSDate
b) changes the initialization for ScriptInterpreter so that we are not passing a bulk of Python-specific function pointers around
c) provides a new ScriptInterpreterObject class that allows for ref-count safe wrapping of scripting objects on the C++ side
d) contains much needed performance improvements:
1) the pointer to the Python function generating a scripted summary is now cached instead of looked up every time
2) redundant memory reads in the Python ObjC runtime wrapper are eliminated
3) summaries now use the m_summary_str in ValueObject to store their data instead of passing around ( == copying) an std::string object
e) contains other minor fixes, such as adding descriptive error messages for some cases of summary generation failure
llvm-svn: 151703
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
The formatter for NSString is an improved version of the one previously shipped as an example, the others are new in design and implementation.
A more robust and OO-compliant Objective-C runtime wrapper is provided for runtime versions 1 and 2 on 32 and 64 bit.
The formatters are contained in a category named "AppKit", which is not enabled at startup.
llvm-svn: 151300
Patch to fix the main.cpp compile error submitted by Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com>.
Also add a Makefile, plus some modification to main.cpp.
llvm-svn: 150990
sbvalue.value (<SBValue>)
sbvalue.variable (<SBValue>)
Initialize both with a lldb.SBValue
sbvalue.value() make all sorts of convenience properties. Type "help(sbvalue.value)"
in the embedded python interpreter to see what is available.
sbvalue.variable() wraps a lldb.SBValue and allows you to play with your variable just
as you would expect:
pt = sbvalue.variable (lldb.frame.FindVariable("pt"))
print pt.x
print py.y
argv = sbvalue.variable (lldb.frame.FindVariable("argv"))
print argv[0]
Member access and array acccess is all taken care of!

When this is imported into your lldb using the "command script import /path/to/gdbremote.py"
these new commands are available within LLDB. 'start_gdb_log' will enable logging with
timestamps for GDB remote packets, and 'stop_gdb_log' will then dump the details and
also a lot of packet timing data. This allows us to accurately track what packets are
taking up the most time when debugging (when using the ProcessGDBRemote debugging plug-in).
Also udpated the comments at the top of the cmdtemplate.py to show how to correctly import
the module from within LLDB.
