- Summaries for char*, const char* and char[] are loaded at startup as
system-wide summaries. This means you cannot delete them unless you use
the -a option to type summary delete/clear
- You can add your own system-wide summaries by using the -w option to type
summary add
Several code improvements for the Python summaries feature
llvm-svn: 135326
- you can use a Python script to write a summary string for data-types, in one of
three ways:
-P option and typing the script a line at a time
-s option and passing a one-line Python script
-F option and passing the name of a Python function
these options all work for the "type summary add" command
your Python code (if provided through -P or -s) is wrapped in a function
that accepts two parameters: valobj (a ValueObject) and dict (an LLDB
internal dictionary object). if you use -F and give a function name,
you're expected to define the function on your own and with the right
prototype. your function, however defined, must return a Python string
- test case for the Python summary feature
- a few quirks:
Python summaries cannot have names, and cannot use regex as type names
both issues will be fixed ASAP
major redesign of type summary code:
- type summary working with strings and type summary working with Python code
are two classes, with a common base class SummaryFormat
- SummaryFormat classes now are able to actively format objects rather than
just aggregating data
- cleaner code to print descriptions for summaries
the public API now exports a method to easily navigate a ValueObject hierarchy
New InputReaderEZ and PriorityPointerPair classes
Several minor fixes and improvements
llvm-svn: 135238
- formats %s %char[] %c and %a now work to print 0-terminated c-strings if they are applied to a char* or char[] even without the [] operator (e.g. ${var%s})
- array formats (char[], intN[], ..) now work when applied to an array of a scalar type even without the [] operator (e.g. ${var%int32_t[]})
LLDB will not crash because of endless loop when trying to obtain a summary for an object that has no value and references itself in its summary string
In many cases, a wrong summary string will now display an "<error>" message instead of giving out an empty string
llvm-svn: 135007
- 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
new template class CleanUp2 meant to support cleanup routines with 1 additional parameter beyond resource handle
llvm-svn: 134943
is just wrong and resulted in the inferior's output getting mixed into the GDB remote communication's
log file. Change all test cases to not pass os.ctermid() and either use SBTarget.LaunchSimple() or
SBTarget.Launch() and pass None as stdin_path/stdout_path/srderr_path to use a pseudo terminal.
rdar://problem/9716499 program output is getting mixed into the GDB remote communications
llvm-svn: 134940
new GetValueForExpressionPath() method in ValueObject to navigate expression paths in a more bitfield vs slices aware way
changes to the varformats.html document (WIP)
llvm-svn: 134679
- ${*expr} now simply means to dereference expr before actually using it
- bitfields, array ranges and pointer ranges now work in a (hopefully) more natural and language-compliant way
a new class TypeHierarchyNavigator replicates the behavior of the FormatManager in going through type hierarchies
when one-lining summary strings, children's summaries can be used as well as values
llvm-svn: 134458
- type names can now be regular expressions (exact matching is done first, and is faster)
- integral (and floating) types can be printed as bitfields, i.e. ${var[low-high]} will extract bits low thru high of the value and print them
- array subscripts are supported, both for arrays and for pointers. the syntax is ${*var[low-high]}, or ${*var[]} to print the whole array (the latter only works for statically sized arrays)
- summary is now printed by default when a summary string references a variable. if that variable's type has no summary, value is printed instead. to force value, you can use %V as a format specifier
- basic support for ObjectiveC:
- ObjectiveC inheritance chains are now walked through
- %@ can be specified as a summary format, to print the ObjectiveC runtime description for an object
- some bug fixes
llvm-svn: 134293
implements three commands:
type summary add <format> <typename1> [<typename2> ...]
type summary delete <typename1> [<typename2> ...]
type summary list [<typename1> [<typename2>] ...]
type summary clear
This allows you to specify the default format that will be used to display
summaries for variables, shown when you use "frame variable" or "expression", or the SBValue classes.
Examples:
type summary add "x = ${var.x}" Point
type summary list
type summary add --one-liner SimpleType
