treated as being permanently resident in target
memory. In fact, since the expression's stack frame
is deleted and potentially re-used after the
expression completes, the variables need to be treated
as being freeze-dried.

into some cleanup I have been wanting to do when reading/writing registers.
Previously all RegisterContext subclasses would need to implement:
virtual bool
ReadRegisterBytes (uint32_t reg, DataExtractor &data);
virtual bool
WriteRegisterBytes (uint32_t reg, DataExtractor &data, uint32_t data_offset = 0);
There is now a new class specifically designed to hold register values:
lldb_private::RegisterValue
The new register context calls that subclasses must implement are:
virtual bool
ReadRegister (const RegisterInfo *reg_info, RegisterValue ®_value) = 0;
virtual bool
WriteRegister (const RegisterInfo *reg_info, const RegisterValue ®_value) = 0;
The RegisterValue class must be big enough to handle any register value. The
class contains an enumeration for the value type, and then a union for the
data value. Any integer/float values are stored directly in an appropriate
host integer/float. Anything bigger is stored in a byte buffer that has a length
and byte order. The RegisterValue class also knows how to copy register value
bytes into in a buffer with a specified byte order which can be used to write
the register value down into memory, and this does the right thing when not
all bytes from the register values are needed (getting a uint8 from a uint32
register value..).
All RegiterContext and other sources have been switched over to using the new
regiter value class.

variables be evaluated statically.
Also fixed a bug that caused the results of
statically-evaluated expressions to be materialized
improperly.
This bug also removes some duplicate code.

pointer to a ValueObject or any of its dependent ValueObjects, and the whole cluster will
stay around as long as that shared pointer stays around.

expressions that are simple enough to get passed to the "frame var" underpinnings. The parser code will
have to be changed to also query for the dynamic types & offsets as it is looking up variables.
The behavior of "frame var" is controlled in two ways. You can pass "-d {true/false} to the frame var
command to get the dynamic or static value of the variables you are printing.
There's also a general setting:
target.prefer-dynamic-value (boolean) = 'true'
which is consulted if you call "frame var" without supplying a value for the -d option.

public types and public enums. This was done to keep the SWIG stuff from
parsing all sorts of enums and types that weren't needed, and allows us to
abstract our API better.

clang_type_t
GetClangFullType(); // Get a completely defined clang type

GetClangForwardType(); // A type that can be completed if needed, but is more efficient.

diagnostics of Clang AST classes for the purpose of
debugging the types LLDB produces for DWARF objects.
The ASTDumper is currently only used in log output
if you enable verbose mode in the expression log:
log enable -v lldb expr
Its output then appears in the log for external
variables used by the expr command.
llvm-svn: 124703
lldb_private::Function objects. Previously the SymbolFileSymtab subclass
would return lldb_private::Symbol objects when it was asked to find functions.
The Module::FindFunctions (...) now take a boolean "bool include_symbols" so
that the module can track down functions and symbols, yet functions are found
by the SymbolFile plug-ins (through the SymbolVendor class), and symbols are
gotten through the ObjectFile plug-ins.
Fixed and issue where the DWARF parser might run into incomplete class member
function defintions which would make clang mad when we tried to make certain
member functions with invalid number of parameters (such as an operator=
operator that had no parameters). Now we just avoid and don't complete these
incomplete functions.
llvm-svn: 124359
the way LLDB lazily gets complete definitions for types within the debug info.
When we run across a class/struct/union definition in the DWARF, we will only
parse the full definition if we need to. This works fine for top level types
that are assigned directly to variables and arguments, but when we have a
variable with a class, lets say "A" for this example, that has a member:
"B *m_b". Initially we don't need to hunt down a definition for this class
unless we are ever asked to do something with it ("expr m_b->getDecl()" for
example). With my previous approach to lazy type completion, we would be able
to take a "A *a" and get a complete type for it, but we wouldn't be able to
then do an "a->m_b->getDecl()" unless we always expanded all types within a
class prior to handing out the type. Expanding everything is very costly and
it would be great if there were a better way.
A few months ago I worked with the llvm/clang folks to have the
ExternalASTSource class be able to complete classes if there weren't completed
yet:
class ExternalASTSource {
....
virtual void
CompleteType (clang::TagDecl *Tag);
virtual void
CompleteType (clang::ObjCInterfaceDecl *Class);
};
This was great, because we can now have the class that is producing the AST
(SymbolFileDWARF and SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap) sign up as external AST sources
and the object that creates the forward declaration types can now also
complete them anywhere within the clang type system.
This patch makes a few major changes:
- lldb_private::Module classes now own the AST context. Previously the TypeList
objects did.
- The DWARF parsers now sign up as an external AST sources so they can complete
types.
- All of the pure clang type system wrapper code we have in LLDB (ClangASTContext,
ClangASTType, and more) can now be iterating through children of any type,
and if a class/union/struct type (clang::RecordType or ObjC interface)
is found that is incomplete, we can ask the AST to get the definition.
- The SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap class now will create and use a single AST that
all child SymbolFileDWARF classes will share (much like what happens when
we have a complete linked DWARF for an executable).
We will need to modify some of the ClangUserExpression code to take more
advantage of this completion ability in the near future. Meanwhile we should
be better off now that we can be accessing any children of variables through
pointers and always be able to resolve the clang type if needed.

by LLDB. Instead of being materialized into the input structure
passed to the expression, variables are left in place and pointers
to them are materialzied into the structure. Variables not resident
in memory (notably, registers) get temporary memory regions allocated
for them.
Persistent variables are the most complex part of this, because they
are made in various ways and there are different expectations about
their lifetime. Persistent variables now have flags indicating their
status and what the expectations for longevity are. They can be
marked as residing in target memory permanently -- this is the
default for result variables from expressions entered on the command
line and for explicitly declared persistent variables (but more on
that below). Other result variables have their memory freed.
Some major improvements resulting from this include being able to
properly take the address of variables, better and cleaner support
for functions that return references, and cleaner C++ support in
general. One problem that remains is the problem of explicitly
declared persistent variables; I have not yet implemented the code
that makes references to them into indirect references, so currently
materialization and dematerialization of these variables is broken.
llvm-svn: 123371
a method:
void RegisterContext::InvalidateIfNeeded (bool force);
Each time this function is called, when "force" is false, it will only call
the pure virtual "virtual void RegisterContext::InvalideAllRegisters()" if
the register context's stop ID doesn't match that of the process. When the
stop ID doesn't match, or "force" is true, the base class will clear its
cached registers and the RegisterContext will update its stop ID to match
that of the process. This helps make it easier to correctly flush the register
context (possibly from multiple locations depending on when and where new
registers are availabe) without inadvertently clearing the register cache
when it doesn't need to be.
Modified the ProcessGDBRemote plug-in to be much more efficient when it comes
to:
- caching the expedited registers in the stop reply packets (we were ignoring
these before and it was causing us to read at least three registers every
time we stopped that were already supplied in the stop reply packet).
- When a thread has no stop reason, don't keep asking for the thread stopped
info. Prior to this fix we would continually send a qThreadStopInfo packet
over and over when any thread stop info was requested. We now note the stop
ID that the stop info was requested for and avoid multiple requests.
Cleaned up some of the expression code to not look for ClangExpressionVariable
objects up by name since they are now shared pointers and we can just look for
the exact pointer match and avoid possible errors.
Fixed an bug in the ValueObject code that would cause children to not be
displayed.
llvm-svn: 123127
can avoid running the code in the target if the
expression's result is known and the expression
has no side effects.
Right now this feature is quite conservative in
its guess about side effects, and it only computes
integer results, but the machinery to make it more
sophisticated is there.
llvm-svn: 121952
values or persistent expression variables. Now if an expression consists of
a value that is a child of a variable, or of a persistent variable only, we
will create a value object for it and make a ValueObjectConstResult from it to
freeze the value (for program variables only, not persistent variables) and
avoid running JITed code. For everything else we still parse up and JIT code
and run it in the inferior.
There was also a lot of clean up in the expression code. I made the
ClangExpressionVariables be stored in collections of shared pointers instead
of in collections of objects. This will help stop a lot of copy constructors on
these large objects and also cleans up the code considerably. The persistent
clang expression variables were moved over to the Target to ensure they persist
across process executions.
Added the ability for lldb_private::Target objects to evaluate expressions.
We want to evaluate expressions at the target level in case we aren't running
yet, or we have just completed running. We still want to be able to access the
persistent expression variables between runs, and also evaluate constant
expressions.
Added extra logging to the dynamic loader plug-in for MacOSX. ModuleList objects
can now dump their contents with the UUID, arch and full paths being logged with
appropriate prefix values.
Thread hardened the Communication class a bit by making the connection auto_ptr
member into a shared pointer member and then making a local copy of the shared
pointer in each method that uses it to make sure another thread can't nuke the
connection object while it is being used by another thread.
Added a new file to the lldb/test/load_unload test that causes the test a.out file
to link to the libd.dylib file all the time. This will allow us to test using
the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable after moving libd.dylib somewhere else.
llvm-svn: 121745
the code to pass the _cmd pointer has been improved, and _cmd
is now set to the value of _cmd for the current context, as
opposed to being simply NULL.
llvm-svn: 121739
access to the members of the Objective-C self object.
The approach we take is to generate the method as a
@category on top of the self object, and to pass the
"self" pointer to it. (_cmd is currently NULL.)
Most changes are in ClangExpressionDeclMap, but the
change that adds support to the ABIs to pass _cmd
touches a fair amount of code.
llvm-svn: 121722
LLDB expression execution.
We also now print the argument structure after execution,
to allow us to verify that the expression did indeed
execute correctly.
llvm-svn: 121126
so that it is not referring to potentially stale
state during IR execution.
This was done by introducing modular state (like
ClangExpressionVariable) where groups of state
variables have well-defined lifetimes:
- m_parser_vars are specific to parsing, and only
exist between calls to WillParse() and DidParse().
- m_struct_vars survive for the entire execution
of the ClangExpressionDeclMap because they
provide the template for a materialized set of
expression variables.
- m_material_vars are specific to a single
instance of materialization, and only exist
between calls to Materialize() and
Dematerialize().
I also removed unnecessary references to long-
lived state that really didn't need to be referred
to at all, and also introduced several assert()s
that helped me diagnose a few bugs (fixed too).
llvm-svn: 120778
RegisterContext* - normally this is retrieved from the ExecutionContext's
StackFrame but when we need to evaluate an expression while creating
the stack frame list this can be a little tricky.
Add DW_OP_deref_size, needed for the _sigtramp FDE expression.
Add support for processing DWARF expressions in RegisterContextLLDB.
Update callers to DWARFExpression::Evaluate.
llvm-svn: 119885
perform recursive type lookups, because these are not
required for full type fidelity. We also make the
SelectorTable last for the full lifetime of the Clang
compiler; this was the source of many bugs.
llvm-svn: 119835
can too. So now the lldb_private::Variable class has support for this.
Variables now have support for having a basename ("i"), and a mangled name
("_ZN12_GLOBAL__N_11iE"), and a demangled name ("(anonymous namespace)::i").
Nowwhen searching for a variable by name, users might enter the fully qualified
name, or just the basename. So new test functions were added to the Variable
and Mangled classes as:
bool NameMatches (const ConstString &name);
bool NameMatches (const RegularExpression ®ex);
I also modified "ClangExpressionDeclMap::FindVariableInScope" to also search
for global variables that are not in the current file scope by first starting
with the current module, then moving on to all modules.
Fixed an issue in the DWARF parser that could cause a varaible to get parsed
more than once. Now, once we have parsed a VariableSP for a DIE, we cache
the result even if a variable wasn't made so we don't do any re-parsing. Some
DW_TAG_variable DIEs don't have locations, or are missing vital info that
stops a debugger from being able to display anything for it, we parse a NULL
variable shared pointer for these DIEs so we don't keep trying to reparse it.
llvm-svn: 119085
expression. This currently takes waaaayyyyy too much time to evaluate. We will
need to look at the expression parser and find ways to optimize the info we
provide and get this to evaluate quicker. I believe the performance issue is
currently related to us always providing a complete C++ class type when asked
about a C++ class which can cause a lot of information to be pulled since all
classes will be fully created (methods, base classes, members, all their
types). We will need to give the classes back the parser and mark them as
having external sources and get parser (Sema) to query us when it needs more
info. This should bring things up to an acceptable level.
llvm-svn: 118979
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.
llvm-svn: 118976
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'
