inserted in commands by using backticks:
(lldb) memory read `$rsp-16` `$rsp+16`
(lldb) memory read -c `(int)strlen(argv[0])` `argv[0]`
The result of the expression will be inserted into the command as a sort of
preprocess stage where this gets done first. We might need to tweak where this
preprocess stage goes, but it is very functional already.
Added ansi color support to the Debugger::FormatPrompt() so you can use things
like "${ansi.fg.blue}" and "${ansi.bold}" many more. This helps in adding
colors to your prompts without needing to know the ANSI color code strings.

when newly created threads were subsequently stopped due to breakpoint hit.
The stop-hook mechanism delegates to CommandInterpreter::HandleCommands() to
execuet the commands. Make sure the execution context is switched only once
at the beginning of HandleCommands() only and don't update the context while looping
on each individual command to be executed.

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.

name is "lldb". So currently when you startup any application and you
have not specified that you would like to skip loading init files through
the API or from "lldb" options, then LLDB will try and load:
"~/.lldbinit-%s" where %s the basename of your program
"~/.lldbinit"
Then LLDB will load any program specified on the command line and then
source the "./.llbinit" file for any temporary debug session specific
commands.
I want this feature because I have thread and frame formats that do
ANSI color codes that I only want to load when running in a terminal
which is when I am running the "lldb" command line program.

--show-aliases (-a) shows aliases for commands, as well as built-in commands
--hide-user-defined (-u) hides user defined commands
by default 'help' without arguments does not show aliases anymore. to see them, add --show-aliases
to have only built-in commands appear, use 'help --hide-user-defined' ; there is currently no way to hide
built-in commands from the help output
'help command' is not changed by this commit, and help is shown even if command is an alias and -a is not specified

'log list' output.
Remove an extraneous \n from one of the lldb/commands
log line.
Add an lldb/commands log indicating whether the command

- They now have an SBCommandReturnObject instead of an SBStream as third argument
- The class CommandObjectPythonFunction has been merged into CommandObjectCommands.cpp
- The command to manage them is now:
command script with subcommands add, list, delete, clear
command alias is returned to its previous functionality
- Python commands are now part of an user dictionary, instead of being seen as aliases

Also change the SourceInitFile to look for .lldb-<APPNAME> and source that
preferentially if it exists.
Also made the breakpoint site report its address as well as its breakpoint number
when it gets hit and can't find any the associated locations (usually because the
breakpoint got disabled or deleted programmatically between the time it was hit
and reported.)
Changed ThreadPlanCallFunction to initialize the ivar m_func in the initializers of the
constructor, rather than waiting to initialize till later on in the function.
Fixed a bug where if you make an SBError and the ask it Success, it returns false.
Fixed ValueObject::ResolveValue so that it resolves a temporary value, rather than
overwriting the one in the value object.
llvm-svn: 137536
Also made:
(lldb) !<NUM>
(lldb) !-<NUM>
(lldb) !!
work with the history. For added benefit:
(lldb) !<NUM><TAB>
will insert the command at position <NUM> in the history into the command line to be edited.
This is only partial, I still need to sync up editline's history list with the one kept by the interpreter.

- 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

llvm-svn: 134943
This commit adds a new top level command named "type". Currently this command
implements three commands:
type format add <format> <typename1> [<typename2> ...]
type format delete <typename1> [<typename2> ...]
type format list [<typename1> [<typename2>] ...]
This allows you to specify the default format that will be used to display
types when you use "frame variable" or "expression", or the SBValue classes.
Examples:
// Format uint*_t as hex
type format add x uint16_t uint32_t uint64_t
// Format intptr_t as a pointer
type format add p intptr_t
The format characters are the same as "printf" for the most part with many
additions. These format character specifiers are also used in many other
commands ("frame variable" for one). The current list of format characters
include:
a - char buffer
b - binary
B - boolean
c - char
C - printable char
d - signed decimal
e - float
f - float
g - float
i - signed decimal
I - complex integer
o - octal
O - OSType
p - pointer
s - c-string
u - unsigned decimal
x - hex
X - complex float
y - bytes
Y - bytes with ASCII

not write output (prompts, instructions,etc.) if the CommandInterpreter
is in batch_mode.
Also, finish updating InputReaders to write to the asynchronous stream,
rather than using the Debugger's output file directly.
llvm-svn: 133162
Removed the "image" command and moved it to "target modules". Added an alias
for "image" to "target modules".
Added some new target commands to be able to add and load modules to a target:
(lldb) target modules add <path>
(lldb) target modules load [--file <path>] [--slide <offset>] [<sect-name> <sect-load-addr> ...]
So you can load individual sections without running a target:
(lldb) target modules load --file /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib __TEXT 0x7fccc80000 __DATA 0x1234000000
Or you can rigidly slide an entire shared library:
(lldb) target modules load --file /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib --slid 0x7fccc80000
This should improve bare board debugging when symbol files need to be slid around manually.
llvm-svn: 130796
command line driver, including the lldb prompt being output by
editline, the asynchronous process output & error messages, and
asynchronous messages written by target stop-hooks.
As part of this it introduces a new Stream class,
StreamAsynchronousIO. A StreamAsynchronousIO object is created with a
broadcaster, who will eventually broadcast the stream's data for a
listener to handle, and an event type indicating what type of event
the broadcaster will broadcast. When the Write method is called on a
StreamAsynchronousIO object, the data is appended to an internal
string. When the Flush method is called on a StreamAsynchronousIO
object, it broadcasts it's data string and clears the string.
Anything in lldb-core that needs to generate asynchronous output for
the end-user should use the StreamAsynchronousIO objects.
I have also added a new notification type for InputReaders, to let
them know that a asynchronous output has been written. This is to
allow the input readers to, for example, refresh their prompts and
lines, if desired. I added the case statements to all the input
readers to catch this notification, but I haven't added any code for
handling them yet (except to the IOChannel input reader).
llvm-svn: 130721
To do this currently, it must be done in multi-line mode:
(lldb) commands regex --help "Help text for command" --syntax "syntax for command" <cmd-name>
Any example that would use "f" for "finish" when there are no arguments,
and "f <num>" to do a "frame select <num>" would be:
(lldb) commands regex f
Enter multiple regular expressions in the form s/find/replace/ then terminate with an empty line:
s/^$/finish/
s/([0-9]+)/frame select %1/
(lldb) f 11
frame select 12
...
(lldb) f
finish
...
Also added the string version of the OptionValue as OptionValueString.

threads, and stack frame down in the lldb_private::Process,
lldb_private::Thread, lldb_private::StackFrameList and the
lldb_private::StackFrame classes. We had some command line
commands that had duplicate versions of the process status
output ("thread list" and "process status" for example).
Removed the "file" command and placed it where it should
have been: "target create". Made an alias for "file" to
"target create" so we stay compatible with GDB commands.
We can now have multple usable targets in lldb at the
same time. This is nice for comparing two runs of a program
or debugging more than one binary at the same time. The
new command is "target select <target-idx>" and also to see
a list of the current targets you can use the new "target list"
command. The flow in a debug session can be:
(lldb) target create /path/to/exe/a.out
(lldb) breakpoint set --name main
(lldb) run
... hit breakpoint
(lldb) target create /bin/ls
(lldb) run /tmp
Process 36001 exited with status = 0 (0x00000000)
(lldb) target list
Current targets:
target #0: /tmp/args/a.out ( arch=x86_64-apple-darwin, platform=localhost, pid=35999, state=stopped )
* target #1: /bin/ls ( arch=x86_64-apple-darwin, platform=localhost, pid=36001, state=exited )
(lldb) target select 0
Current targets:
* target #0: /tmp/args/a.out ( arch=x86_64-apple-darwin, platform=localhost, pid=35999, state=stopped )
target #1: /bin/ls ( arch=x86_64-apple-darwin, platform=localhost, pid=36001, state=exited )
(lldb) bt
* thread #1: tid = 0x2d03, 0x0000000100000b9a a.out`main + 42 at main.c:16, stop reason = breakpoint 1.1
frame #0: 0x0000000100000b9a a.out`main + 42 at main.c:16
frame #1: 0x0000000100000b64 a.out`start + 52
Above we created a target for "a.out" and ran and hit a
breakpoint at "main". Then we created a new target for /bin/ls
and ran it. Then we listed the targest and selected our original
"a.out" program, so we showed two concurent debug sessions
going on at the same time.

the CommandInterpreter where it was always being used.
Make sure that Modules can track their object file offsets correctly to
allow opening of sub object files (like the "__commpage" on darwin).
Modified the Platforms to be able to launch processes. The first part of this
move is the platform soon will become the entity that launches your program
and when it does, it uses a new ProcessLaunchInfo class which encapsulates
all process launching settings. This simplifies the internal APIs needed for
launching. I want to slowly phase out process launching from the process
classes, so for now we can still launch just as we used to, but eventually
the platform is the object that should do the launching.
Modified the Host::LaunchProcess in the MacOSX Host.mm to correctly be able
to launch processes with all of the new eLaunchFlag settings. Modified any
code that was manually launching processes to use the Host::LaunchProcess
functions.
Fixed an issue where lldb_private::Args had implicitly defined copy
constructors that could do the wrong thing. This has now been fixed by adding
an appropriate copy constructor and assignment operator.
Make sure we don't add empty ModuleSP entries to a module list.
Fixed the commpage module creation on MacOSX, but we still need to train
the MacOSX dynamic loader to not get rid of it when it doesn't have an entry
in the all image infos.
Abstracted many more calls from in ProcessGDBRemote down into the
GDBRemoteCommunicationClient subclass to make the classes cleaner and more
efficient.
Fixed the default iOS ARM register context to be correct and also added support
for targets that don't support the qThreadStopInfo packet by selecting the
current thread (only if needed) and then sending a stop reply packet.
Debugserver can now start up with a --unix-socket (-u for short) and can
then bind to port zero and send the port it bound to to a listening process
on the other end. This allows the GDB remote platform to spawn new GDB server
instances (debugserver) to allow platform debugging.

public types and public enums. This was done to keep the SWIG stuff from

platform status -- gets status information for the selected platform
platform create <platform-name> -- creates a new instance of a remote platform
platform list -- list all available platforms
platform select -- select a platform instance as the current platform (not working yet)
When using "platform create" it will create a remote platform and make it the
selected platform. For instances for iPhone OS debugging on Mac OS X one can
do:
(lldb) platform create remote-ios --sdk-version=4.0
Remote platform: iOS platform
SDK version: 4.0
SDK path: "/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/4.0"
Not connected to a remote device.
(lldb) file ~/Documents/a.out
Current executable set to '~/Documents/a.out' (armv6).
(lldb) image list
[ 0] /Volumes/work/gclayton/Documents/devb/attach/a.out
[ 1] /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/4.0/Symbols/usr/lib/dyld
[ 2] /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/4.0/Symbols/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
Note that this is all happening prior to running _or_ connecting to a remote
platform. Once connected to a remote platform the OS version might change which
means we will need to update our dependecies. Also once we run, we will need
to match up the actualy binaries with the actualy UUID's to files in the
SDK, or download and cache them locally.
This is just the start of the remote platforms, but this modification is the
first iteration in getting the platforms really doing something.
llvm-svn: 127934
N streams by making the stream a vector of stream shared pointers
that is protected by a mutex. Streams can be get/set by index which
allows indexes to be defined as stream indentifiers. If a stream is
set at index 3 and there are now streams in the collection, then
empty stream objects are inserted to ensure that stream at index 3
has a valid stream. There is also an append method that allows a stream
to be pushed onto the stack. This will allow our streams to be very
flexible in where the output goes.
Modified the CommandReturnObject to use the new StreamTee functionality.
This class now defines two StreamTee indexes: 0 for the stream string
stream, and 1 for the immediate stream. This is used both on the output
and error streams.
Added the ability to get argument types as strings or as descriptions.
This is exported through the SBCommandInterpreter API to allow external
access.
Modified the Driver class to use the newly exported argument names from
SBCommandInterpreter::GetArgumentTypeAsCString().
llvm-svn: 126067
a Stream, and then added GetOutputData & GetErrorData to get the accumulated data.
- Added a StreamTee that will tee output to two provided lldb::StreamSP's.
- Made the CommandObjectReturn use this so you can Tee the results immediately to
the debuggers output file, as well as saving up the results to return when the command
is done executing.
- HandleCommands now uses this so that if you have a set of commands that continue the target
you will see the commands come out as they are processed.
- The Driver now uses this to output the command results as you go, which makes the interface
more reactive seeming.
llvm-svn: 126015
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
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.

exist within the same process (one script interpreter object per debugger object). The
python script interpreter objects are all using the same global Python script interpreter;
they use separate dictionaries to keep their data separate, and mutex's to prevent any object

- Make sure cmd_obj & cmd_obj_sp contain a valid objects before attempting to
dereference, in CommandObjectCommandsAlias::Execute and

not the command should take raw input, then handle & dispatch the arguments appropriately.
Also change the 'alias' command to be a command that takes raw input. This is necessary to
allow aliases to be created for other commands that take raw input and might want to include
raw input in the alias itself.
Fix a bug in the aliasing mechanism when creating aliases for commands with 3-or-more words.
Raw input should now be properly handled by all the command and alias mechanisms.
llvm-svn: 121423
- Add logging for command resolution ('log enable lldb commands')
- Fix alias resolution to properly handle commands that take raw input (resolve the alias, but
don't muck up the raw arguments).
Net result: Among other things, 'expr' command can now take strings with escaped characters and
not have the command handling & alias resolution code muck up the escaped characters. E.g.
'expr printf ("\n\n\tHello there!")' should now work properly.
Not working yet: Creating aliases with raw input for commands that take raw input. Working on that.
e.g. 'command alias print_hi expr printf ("\n\tHi!")' does not work yet.
llvm-svn: 121171
comes from by using a virtual function to provide it from the Module's
SymbolVendor by default. This allows the DWARF parser, when being used to
parse DWARF in .o files with a parent DWARF + debug map parser, to get its
type list from the DWARF + debug map parser so when we go and find full
definitions for types (that might come from other .o files), we can use the
type list from the debug map parser. Otherwise we ended up mixing clang types
from one .o file (say a const pointer to a forward declaration "class A") with
the a full type from another .o file. This causes expression parsing, when
copying the clang types from those parsed by the DWARF parser into the
expression AST, to fail -- for good reason. Now all types are created in the
same list.
Also added host support for crash description strings that can be set before
doing a piece of work. On MacOSX, this ties in with CrashReporter support
that allows a string to be dispalyed when the app crashes and allows
LLDB.framework to print a description string in the crash log. Right now this
is hookup up the the CommandInterpreter::HandleCommand() where each command
notes that it is about to be executed, so if we crash while trying to do this
command, we should be able to see the command that caused LLDB to exit. For
all other platforms, this is a nop.
