controlled by the --unwind-on-error flag, and --ignore-breakpoint which separately controls behavior when a called
function hits a breakpoint. For breakpoints, we don't unwind, we either stop, or ignore the breakpoint, which makes
more sense.
Also make both these behaviors globally settable through "settings set".
Also handle the case where a breakpoint command calls code that ends up re-hitting the breakpoint. We were recursing
and crashing. Now we just stop without calling the second command.

Make breakpoint setting by file and line much more efficient by only looking for inlined breakpoint locations if we are setting a breakpoint in anything but a source implementation file. Implementing this complex for a many reasons. Turns out that parsing compile units lazily had some issues with respect to how we need to do things with DWARF in .o files. So the fixes in the checkin for this makes these changes:
- Add a new setting called "target.inline-breakpoint-strategy" which can be set to "never", "always", or "headers". "never" will never try and set any inlined breakpoints (fastest). "always" always looks for inlined breakpoint locations (slowest, but most accurate). "headers", which is the default setting, will only look for inlined breakpoint locations if the breakpoint is set in what are consudered to be header files, which is realy defined as "not in an implementation source file".
- modify the breakpoint setting by file and line to check the current "target.inline-breakpoint-strategy" setting and act accordingly
- Modify compile units to be able to get their language and other info lazily. This allows us to create compile units from the debug map and not have to fill all of the details in, and then lazily discover this information as we go on debuggging. This is needed to avoid parsing all .o files when setting breakpoints in implementation only files (no inlines). Otherwise we would need to parse the .o file, the object file (mach-o in our case) and the symbol file (DWARF in the object file) just to see what the compile unit was.
- modify the "SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap" to subclass lldb_private::Module so that the virtual "GetObjectFile()" and "GetSymbolVendor()" functions can be intercepted when the .o file contenst are later lazilly needed. Prior to this fix, when we first instantiated the "SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap" class, we would also make modules, object files and symbol files for every .o file in the debug map because we needed to fix up the sections in the .o files with information that is in the executable debug map. Now we lazily do this in the DebugMapModule::GetObjectFile()
Cleaned up header includes a bit as well.

allocations by section. We install these sections

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
parser. Specifically:
- ClangUserExpression now keeps weak pointers to the
structures it needs and then locks them when needed.
This ensures that they continue to be valid without
leaking memory if the ClangUserExpression is long
lived.
- ClangExpressionDeclMap, instead of keeping a pointer
to an ExecutionContext, now contains an
ExecutionContext. This prevents bugs if the pointer
or its contents somehow become stale. It also no
longer requires that ExecutionContexts be passed
into any function except its initialization function,
since it can count on the ExecutionContext still
being around.
There's a lot of room for improvement (specifically,
ClangExpressionDeclMap should also use weak pointers
insetad of shared pointers) but this is an important
first step that codifies assumptions that already
existed in the code.
llvm-svn: 150217
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).
llvm-svn: 149207
parser has hitherto been an implementation waiting
for a use. I have now tied the '-o' option for
the expression command -- which indicates that the
result is an Objective-C object and needs to be
printed -- to the ExpressionParser, which
communicates the desired type to Clang.
Now, if the result of an expression is determined
by an Objective-C method call for which there is
no type information, that result is implicitly
cast to id if and only if the -o option is passed
to the expression command. (Otherwise if there
is no explicit cast Clang will issue an error.
This behavior is identical to what happened before
r146756.)
Also added a testcase for -o enabled and disabled.
llvm-svn: 147099
the expression parser to locate instances where
dyn_cast<>() and isa<>() are used on types, and
replace them with getAs<>() as appropriate.
The difference is that dyn_cast<>() and isa<>()
are essentially LLVM/Clang's equivalent of RTTI
-- that is, they try to downcast the object and
return NULL if they cannot -- but getAs<>() can
traverse typedefs to perform a semantic cast.
llvm-svn: 146537
validates the "self," "this," and "_cmd" pointers
that get passed into expressions. It used to check
them aggressively for validity before allowing the
expression to run as an object method; now, this
functionality is gated by a bool and off by default.
Now the default is that when LLDB is stopped in a
method of a class, code entered using "expr" will
always masquerade as an instance method. If for
some reason "self," "this," or "_cmd" is unavailable
it will be reported as NULL. This may cause the
expression to crash if it relies on those pointers,
but for example getting the addresses of ivars will
now work as the user would expect.
llvm-svn: 146465
from symbols more accessible, I have added a second
map to the ClangASTImporter: the ObjCInterfaceMetaMap.
This map keeps track of all type definitions found for
a particular Objective-C interface, allowing the
ClangASTSource to refer to all possible sources when
looking for method definitions.
There is a bug in lookup that I still need to figure out,
but after that we should be able to report full method
information for Objective-C classes shown in symbols.
Also fixed some errors I ran into when enabling the maps
for the persistent type store. The persistent type store
previously did not use the ClangASTImporter to import
types, instead using ASTImporters that got allocated each
time a type needed copying. To support the requirements
of the persistent type store -- namely, that types must be
copied, completed, and then completely severed from their
origin in the parser's AST context (which will go away) --
I added a new function called DeportType which severs all
these connections.
llvm-svn: 145914
of problems with Objective-C object completion. To go
along with the LLVM/Clang-side fixes, we have a variety
of Objective-C improvements.
Fixes include:
- It is now possible to run expressions when stopped in
an Objective-C class method and have "self" act just
like "self" would act in the class method itself (i.e.,
[self classMethod] works without casting the return
type if debug info is present). To accomplish this,
the expression masquerades as a class method added by
a category.
- Objective-C objects can now provide methods and
properties and methods to Clang on demand (i.e., the
ASTImporter sets hasExternalVisibleDecls on Objective-C
interface objects).
- Objective-C built-in types, which had long been a bone
of contention (should we be using "id"? "id*"?), are
now fetched correctly using accessor functions on
ClangASTContext. We inhibit searches for them in the
debug information.
There are also a variety of logging fixes, and I made two
changes to the test suite:
- Enabled a test case for Objective-C properties in the
current translation unit.
- Added a test case for calling Objective-C class methods
when stopped in a class method.
llvm-svn: 144607
which will in the future allow expressions to be
compiled as C, C++, and Objective-C instead of the
current default Objective-C++. This feature requires
some additional support from Clang -- specifically, it
requires reference types in the parser regardless of
language -- so it is not yet exposed to the user.
llvm-svn: 144042
target is stopped in a C++ or Objective-C method
but the "self" pointer's valid range actually
doesn't cover the current location. Before, that
was confusing Clang to the point where it crashed;
now, we sanity-check and fall back to pretending
we're in a C function if "self" or "this" isn't
available.

AST importer on completing namespace mappings from
ClangExpressionDeclMap to ClangASTSource.

lifetime of ClangExpressionDeclMap. This allows
ClangExpressionVariables found during parsing to be
queried for their containing namespaces during

Other clients (like ClangFunction) explicitly delete

leaks.

encapsulates wrapping the function as needed. I
am also moving from using booleans to indicate

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.

to execute expressions even in the absence of a process.
This allows expressions to run in situations where the
target cannot run -- e.g., to perform calculations based
on type information, or to inspect a binary's static
data.
This modification touches the following files:
lldb-private-enumerations.h
Introduce a new enum specifying the policy for
processing an expression. Some expressions should
always be JITted, for example if they are functions
that will be used over and over again. Some
expressions should always be interpreted, for
example if the target is unsafe to run. For most,
it is acceptable to JIT them, but interpretation
is preferable when possible.
Target.[h,cpp]
Have EvaluateExpression now accept the new enum.
ClangExpressionDeclMap.[cpp,h]
Add support for the IR interpreter and also make
the ClangExpressionDeclMap more robust in the
absence of a process.
ClangFunction.[cpp,h]
Add support for the new enum.
IRInterpreter.[cpp,h]
New implementation.
ClangUserExpression.[cpp,h]
Add support for the new enum, and for running
expressions in the absence of a process.
ClangExpression.h
Remove references to the old DWARF-based method
of evaluating expressions, because it has been
superseded for now.
ClangUtilityFunction.[cpp,h]

ClangExpressionParser.[cpp,h]
Add support for the new enum, remove references
to DWARF, and add support for checking whether
the expression could be evaluated statically.
IRForTarget.[h,cpp]
Add support for the new enum, and add utility
functions to support the interpreter.

llvm-svn: 139772
Address ranges are now split up into two different tables:
- one in DWARFDebugInfo that is compile unit specific
- one in each DWARFCompileUnit that has exact function DIE offsets
This helps keep the size of the aranges down since the main table will get
uniqued and sorted and have consecutive ranges merged. We then only parse the
compile unit one on demand once we have determined that a compile unit contains
the address in question. We also now use the .debug_aranges section if there
is one instead of always indexing the DWARF manually.
NameToDIE now uses a UniqueCStringMap<dw_offset> map instead of a std::map.
std::map is very bulky as each node has 3 pointers and the key and value types.
This gets our NameToDIE entry down to 12 bytes each instead of 48 which saves
us a lot of memory when we have very large DWARF.
DWARFDebugAranges now has a smaller footprint for each range it contains to
save on memory.

expression parser. You can use a persistent
type like this:
(lldb) expr struct $foo { int a; int b; };
(lldb) struct $foo i; i.a = 2; i.b = 3; i
($foo) $0 = {
(int) a = 2
(int) b = 3
}
typedefs work similarly.
This patch affects the following files:
test/expression_command/persistent_types/*
A test case for persistent types,
in particular structs and typedefs.
ClangForward.h
Added TypeDecl, needed to declare some
functions in ASTResultSynthesizer.h
ClangPersistentVariables.[h,cpp]
Added a list of persistent types to the
persistent variable store.
ASTResultSynthesizer.[h,cpp]
Made the AST result synthesizer iterate
across TypeDecls in the expression, and
record any persistent types found. Also
made a minor documentation fix.
ClangUserExpression.[h,cpp]
Extended the user expression class to
keep the state needed to report the
persistent variable store for the target
to the AST result synthesizers.
Also introduced a new error code for
expressions that executed normally but
did not return a result.
CommandObjectExpression.cpp
Improved output for expressions (like
declarations of new persistent types) that
don't return a result. This is no longer
treated as an error.
llvm-svn: 138383
that detects what context the current expression is
meant to execute in. LLDB now properly consults
the method declaration in the debug information
rather than trying to hunt down the "this" or "self"
pointer by name, which can be misleading.
Other fixes include:
- LLDB now properly detects that it is inside
an inlined C++ member function.
- LLDB now allows access to non-const members when
in const code.
- The functions in SymbolFile that locate the
DeclContext containing a DIE have been renamed
to reflect what they actually do. I have added
new functions that find the DeclContext for the
DIE itself.
I have also introduced testcases for C++ and
Objective-C.
llvm-svn: 136999
current context. Previously, if there was a variable
called "self" available, the expression parser
assumed it was inside a method. But class methods
in Objective-C also take a "self" parameter, of DWARF
type "id". We now detect this properly, and only
assume we're in an instance method if "self" is a
pointer to an Objective-C object.
