Still need to add "in methods of a class" to the specifiers, and the ability to write the stop hooks in the Scripting language as well as in the Command Language.

correct order. Previously this was tacitly implemented but not
enforced, so it was possible to accidentally do things in the wrong
order and cause problems. This fixes that problem.

an interface to a local or remote debugging platform. By default each host OS
that supports LLDB should be registering a "default" platform that will be
used unless a new platform is selected. Platforms are responsible for things
such as:
- getting process information by name or by processs ID
- finding platform files. This is useful for remote debugging where there is
an SDK with files that might already or need to be cached for debug access.
- getting a list of platform supported architectures in the exact order they
should be selected. This helps the native x86 platform on MacOSX select the
correct x86_64/i386 slice from universal binaries.
- Connect to remote platforms for remote debugging
- Resolving an executable including finding an executable inside platform
specific bundles (macosx uses .app bundles that contain files) and also
selecting the appropriate slice of universal files for a given platform.
So by default there is always a local platform, but remote platforms can be
connected to. I will soon be adding a new "platform" command that will support
the following commands:
(lldb) platform connect --name machine1 macosx connect://host:port
Connected to "machine1" platform.
(lldb) platform disconnect macosx
This allows LLDB to be well setup to do remote debugging and also once
connected process listing and finding for things like:
(lldb) process attach --name x<TAB>
The currently selected platform plug-in can now auto complete any available
processes that start with "x". The responsibilities for the platform plug-in
will soon grow and expand.

of Stephen Wilson's idea (thanks for the input Stephen!). What I ended up
doing was:
- Got rid of ArchSpec::CPU (which was a generic CPU enumeration that mimics
the contents of llvm::Triple::ArchType). We now rely upon the llvm::Triple
to give us the machine type from llvm::Triple::ArchType.
- There is a new ArchSpec::Core definition which further qualifies the CPU
core we are dealing with into a single enumeration. If you need support for
a new Core and want to debug it in LLDB, it must be added to this list. In
the future we can allow for dynamic core registration, but for now it is
hard coded.
- The ArchSpec can now be initialized with a llvm::Triple or with a C string
that represents the triple (it can just be an arch still like "i386").
- The ArchSpec can still initialize itself with a architecture type -- mach-o
with cpu type and subtype, or ELF with e_machine + e_flags -- and this will
then get translated into the internal llvm::Triple::ArchSpec + ArchSpec::Core.
The mach-o cpu type and subtype can be accessed using the getter functions:
uint32_t
ArchSpec::GetMachOCPUType () const;
uint32_t
ArchSpec::GetMachOCPUSubType () const;
But these functions are just converting out internal llvm::Triple::ArchSpec
+ ArchSpec::Core back into mach-o. Same goes for ELF.
All code has been updated to deal with the changes.
This should abstract us until later when the llvm::TargetSpec stuff gets
finalized and we can then adopt it.
llvm-svn: 126278
Targets can now specify some additional parameters for when we debug
executables that can help with plug-in selection:
target.execution-level = auto | user | kernel
target.execution-mode = auto | dynamic | static
target.execution-os-type = auto | none | halted | live
On some systems, the binaries that are created are the same wether you use
them to debug a kernel, or a user space program. Many times inspecting an
object file can reveal what an executable should be. For these cases we can
now be a little more complete by specifying wether to detect all of these
things automatically (inspect the main executable file and select a plug-in
accordingly), or manually to force the selection of certain plug-ins.
To do this we now allow the specficifation of wether one is debugging a user
space program (target.execution-level = user) or a kernel program
(target.execution-level = kernel).
We can also specify if we want to debug a program where shared libraries
are dynamically loaded using a DynamicLoader plug-in
(target.execution-mode = dynamic), or wether we will treat all symbol files
as already linked at the correct address (target.execution-mode = static).
We can also specify if the inferior we are debugging is being debugged on
a bare board (target.execution-os-type = none), or debugging an OS where
we have a JTAG or other direct connection to the inferior stops the entire
OS (target.execution-os-type = halted), or if we are debugging a program on
something that has live debug services (target.execution-os-type = live).
For the "target.execution-os-type = halted" mode, we will need to create
ProcessHelper plug-ins that allow us to extract the process/thread and other
OS information by reading/writing memory.
This should allow LLDB to be used for a wide variety of debugging tasks and
handle them all correctly.
llvm-svn: 125815
now, in addition to cpu type/subtype and architecture flavor, contains:
- byte order (big endian, little endian)
- address size in bytes
- llvm::Triple for true target triple support and for more powerful plug-in
selection.
llvm-svn: 125602
fragile ivars if requested. This was done by changing the previous second parameter
to an options bitfield that can be populated by logical OR'ing the new
StackFrame::ExpressionPathOption enum values together:
typedef enum ExpressionPathOption
{
eExpressionPathOptionCheckPtrVsMember = (1u << 0),
eExpressionPathOptionsNoFragileObjcIvar = (1u << 1),
};
So the old function was:
lldb::ValueObjectSP
StackFrame::GetValueForVariableExpressionPath (const char *var_expr, bool check_ptr_vs_member, Error &error);
But it is now:
lldb::ValueObjectSP
StackFrame::GetValueForVariableExpressionPath (const char *var_expr, uint32_t options, Error &error);
This allows the expression parser in Target::EvaluateExpression(...) to avoid
using simple frame variable expression paths when evaluating something that might
be a fragile ivar.
llvm-svn: 123938
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
cache even when a valid process exists. Previously, Target::ReadMemory would
read from the process if there was a valid one and then fallback to the
object file cache.
llvm-svn: 122989
function and also hooked up better error reporting for when things fail.
Fixed issues with trying to display children of pointers when none are
supposed to be shown (no children for function pointers, and more like this).
This was causing child value objects to be made that were correctly firing
an assertion.
llvm-svn: 121841
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
ModuleList so they don't show up in the images. Breakpoint locations that are
in shared libraries that get unloaded will persist though so that if you
have plug-ins that load/unload and you have a breakpoint set on functions
in the plug-ins, the hit counts will persist between loads/unloads.
llvm-svn: 121069
was done as an settings variable in the process for now. We will eventually
move all environment stuff over to the target, but we will leave it with the
process for now. The default setting is for a process to inherit the host
environment. This can be disabled by setting the "inherit-env" setting to
false in the process.
llvm-svn: 120862
changing it to use it. There was an extra parameter added to the static
accessor global user settings controllers that wasn't needed. A bool was being
used as a parameter to the accessor just so it could be used to clean up
the global user settings controller which is now fixed by splitting up the
initialization into the "static void Class::Initialize()", access into the
"static UserSettingsControllerSP & Class::GetSettingsController()", and
cleanup into "static void Class::Terminate()".
Also added initialize and terminate calls to the logging code to avoid issues
when LLDB is shutting down. There were cases after the logging was switched
over to use shared pointers where we could crash if the global destructor
chain was being run and it causes the log to be destroyed and any any logging
occurred.
llvm-svn: 119757
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
by type ID (the most common type of type lookup).
Changed the API logging a bit to always show the objects in the OBJECT(POINTER)
format so it will be easy to locate all instances of an object or references
to it when looking at logs.
llvm-svn: 117641
which holds the name of a file whose contents are
prefixed to each expression. For example, if the file
~/lldb.prefix.header contains:
typedef unsigned short my_type;
then you can do this:
(lldb) settings set target.expr-prefix '~/lldb.prefix.header'
(lldb) expr sizeof(my_type)
(unsigned long) $0 = 2
When the variable is changed, the corresponding file
is loaded and its contents are fetched into a string
that is stored along with the target. This string
is then passed to each expression and inserted into
it during parsing, like this:
typedef unsigned short my_type;
void
$__lldb_expr(void *$__lldb_arg)
{
sizeof(my_type);
}
llvm-svn: 117627
it logs the function calls, their arguments and the return values. This is not
complete or polished, but I am committing it now, at the request of someone who
really wants to use it, even though it's not really done. It currently does not
attempt to log all the functions, just the most important ones. I will be
making further adjustments to the API logging code over the next few days/weeks.
(Suggestions for improvements are welcome).
Update the Python build scripts to re-build the swig C++ file whenever
the python-extensions.swig file is modified.
Correct the help for 'log enable' command (give it the correct number & type of
arguments).
llvm-svn: 117349
static bool
Host::GetLLDBPath (lldb::PathType path_type, FileSpec &file_spec);
This will fill in "file_spec" with an appropriate path that is appropriate
for the current Host OS. MacOSX will return paths within the LLDB.framework,
and other unixes will return the paths they want. The current PathType
enums are:
typedef enum PathType
{
ePathTypeLLDBShlibDir, // The directory where the lldb.so (unix) or LLDB mach-o file in LLDB.framework (MacOSX) exists
ePathTypeSupportExecutableDir, // Find LLDB support executable directory (debugserver, etc)
ePathTypeHeaderDir, // Find LLDB header file directory
ePathTypePythonDir // Find Python modules (PYTHONPATH) directory
} PathType;
All places that were finding executables are and python paths are now updated
to use this Host call.
Added another new host call to launch the inferior in a terminal. This ability
will be very host specific and doesn't need to be supported on all systems.
MacOSX currently will create a new .command file and tell Terminal.app to open
the .command file. It also uses the new "darwin-debug" app which is a small
app that uses posix to exec (no fork) and stop at the entry point of the
program. The GDB remote plug-in is almost able launch a process and attach to
it, it currently will spawn the process, but it won't attach to it just yet.
This will let LLDB not have to share the terminal with another process and a
new terminal window will pop up when you launch. This won't get hooked up
until we work out all of the kinks. The new Host function is:
static lldb::pid_t
Host::LaunchInNewTerminal (
const char **argv, // argv[0] is executable
const char **envp,
const ArchSpec *arch_spec,
bool stop_at_entry,
bool disable_aslr);
Cleaned up FileSpec::GetPath to not use strncpy() as it was always zero
filling the entire path buffer.
Fixed an issue with the dynamic checker function where I missed a '$' prefix
that should have been added.
llvm-svn: 116690
if the address comes from a data section.
Fixed an issue that could occur when looking up a symbol that has a zero
byte size where no match would be returned even if there was an exact symbol
match.
Cleaned up the section dump output and added the section type into the output.
llvm-svn: 116017
instance:
settings set frame-format <string>
settings set thread-format <string>
This allows users to control the information that is seen when dumping
threads and frames. The default values are set such that they do what they
used to do prior to changing over the the user defined formats.
This allows users with terminals that can display color to make different
items different colors using the escape control codes. A few alias examples
that will colorize your thread and frame prompts are:
settings set frame-format 'frame #${frame.index}: \033[0;33m${frame.pc}\033[0m{ \033[1;4;36m${module.file.basename}\033[0;36m ${function.name}{${function.pc-offset}}\033[0m}{ \033[0;35mat \033[1;35m${line.file.basename}:${line.number}}\033[0m\n'
settings set thread-format 'thread #${thread.index}: \033[1;33mtid\033[0;33m = ${thread.id}\033[0m{, \033[0;33m${frame.pc}\033[0m}{ \033[1;4;36m${module.file.basename}\033[0;36m ${function.name}{${function.pc-offset}}\033[0m}{, \033[1;35mstop reason\033[0;35m = ${thread.stop-reason}\033[0m}{, \033[1;36mname = \033[0;36m${thread.name}\033[0m}{, \033[1;32mqueue = \033[0;32m${thread.queue}}\033[0m\n'
A quick web search for "colorize terminal output" should allow you to see what
you can do to make your output look like you want it.
The "settings set" commands above can of course be added to your ~/.lldbinit
file for permanent use.
Changed the pure virtual
void ExecutionContextScope::Calculate (ExecutionContext&);
To:
void ExecutionContextScope::CalculateExecutionContext (ExecutionContext&);
I did this because this is a class that anything in the execution context
heirarchy inherits from and "target->Calculate (exe_ctx)" didn't always tell
you what it was really trying to do unless you look at the parameter.

which is now on by default. Frames are gotten from the unwinder as concrete
frames, then if inline frames are to be shown, extra information to track
and reconstruct these frames is cached with each Thread and exanded as needed.
I added an inline height as part of the lldb_private::StackID class, the class
that helps us uniquely identify stack frames. This allows for two frames to
shared the same call frame address, yet differ only in inline height.
Fixed setting breakpoint by address to not require addresses to resolve.

Arrange that this then gets properly set on attach, or when a "file" is set.
Add a completer for "process attach -n".

Added the ability to read memory from the target's object files when we aren't
running, so disassembling works before you run!
Cleaned up the API to lldb_private::Target::ReadMemory().
Cleaned up the API to the Disassembler to use actual "lldb_private::Address"
objects instead of just an "addr_t". This is nice because the Address objects
when resolved carry along their section and module which can get us the
object file. This allows Target::ReadMemory to be used when we are not
running.
Added a new lldb_private::Address dump style: DumpStyleDetailedSymbolContext
This will show a full breakdown of what an address points to. To see some
sample output, execute a "image lookup --address <addr>".
Fixed SymbolContext::DumpStopContext(...) to not require a live process in
order to be able to print function and symbol offsets.

intelligently. The four name types we currently have are:
eFunctionNameTypeFull = (1 << 1), // The function name.
// For C this is the same as just the name of the function
// For C++ this is the demangled version of the mangled name.
// For ObjC this is the full function signature with the + or
// - and the square brackets and the class and selector
eFunctionNameTypeBase = (1 << 2), // The function name only, no namespaces or arguments and no class
// methods or selectors will be searched.
eFunctionNameTypeMethod = (1 << 3), // Find function by method name (C++) with no namespace or arguments
eFunctionNameTypeSelector = (1 << 4) // Find function by selector name (ObjC) names
this allows much more flexibility when setting breakoints:
(lldb) breakpoint set --name main --basename
(lldb) breakpoint set --name main --fullname
(lldb) breakpoint set --name main --method
(lldb) breakpoint set --name main --selector
The default:
(lldb) breakpoint set --name main
will inspect the name "main" and look for any parens, or if the name starts
with "-[" or "+[" and if any are found then a full name search will happen.
Else a basename search will be the default.
Fixed some command option structures so not all options are required when they
shouldn't be.
Cleaned up the breakpoint output summary.
Made the "image lookup --address <addr>" output much more verbose so it shows
all the important symbol context results. Added a GetDescription method to
many of the SymbolContext objects for the more verbose output.

to the debugger from GUI windows. Previously there was one global debugger
instance that could be accessed that had its own command interpreter and
current state (current target/process/thread/frame). When a GUI debugger
was attached, if it opened more than one window that each had a console
window, there were issues where the last one to setup the global debugger
object won and got control of the debugger.
To avoid this we now create instances of the lldb_private::Debugger that each
has its own state:
- target list for targets the debugger instance owns
- current process/thread/frame
- its own command interpreter
- its own input, output and error file handles to avoid conflicts
- its own input reader stack
So now clients should call:
SBDebugger::Initialize(); // (static function)
SBDebugger debugger (SBDebugger::Create());
// Use which ever file handles you wish
debugger.SetErrorFileHandle (stderr, false);
debugger.SetOutputFileHandle (stdout, false);
debugger.SetInputFileHandle (stdin, true);
// main loop
SBDebugger::Terminate(); // (static function)
SBDebugger::Initialize() and SBDebugger::Terminate() are ref counted to
ensure nothing gets destroyed too early when multiple clients might be
attached.
Cleaned up the command interpreter and the CommandObject and all subclasses
to take more appropriate arguments.
