This is a very basic implementation of a library that easily allows to drive LLDB.framework to write test cases for performance
This is separate from the LLDB testsuite in test/ in that:
a) this uses C++ instead of Python to avoid measures being affected by SWIG
b) this is in very early development and needs lots of tweaking before it can be considered functionally complete
c) this is not meant to test correctness but to help catch performance regressions
There is a sample application built against the library (in darwin/sketch) that uses the famous sample app Sketch as an inferior to measure certain basic parameters of LLDB's behavior.
The resulting output is a PLIST much like the following:

Areas for improvement:
- code cleanups (I will be out of the office for a couple days this coming week, but please keep ideas coming!)
- more metrics and test cases
- better error checking
This toolkit also comprises a simple event-loop-driven controller for LLDB, similar yet much simpler to what the Driver does to implement the lldb command-line tool.

Parse objective C information as efficiently as possible and without taking dangerous runtime locks.
Reworked the way objective C information is parsed by:
1 - don't read all class names up front, this is about 500K of data with names
2 - add a 32 bit hash map that maps a hash of a name to the Class pointer (isa)
3 - Improved name lookups by using the new hash map
4 - split up reading the objc runtime info into dynamic and shared cache since the shared cache only needs to be read once.
5 - When reading all isa values, also get the 32 bit hash instead of the name
6 - Read names lazily now that we don't need all names up front
7 - Allow the hash maps to not be there and still have this function correctly
There is dead code in here with all of the various methods I tried. I want to check this in first to not lose any of it in case we need to revert to any of the extra code. I will promptly cleanup and commit again.

Data formatters now cache themselves.
This commit provides a new formatter cache mechanism. Upon resolving a formatter (summary or synthetic), LLDB remembers the resolution for later faster retrieval.
Also moved the data formatters subsystem from the core to its own group and folder for easier management, and done some code reorganization.
The ObjC runtime v1 now returns a class name if asked for the dynamic type of an object. This is required for formatters caching to work with the v1 runtime.
Lastly, this commit disposes of the old hack where ValueObjects had to remember whether they were queried for formatters with their static or dynamic type.
Now the ValueObjectDynamicValue class works well enough that we can use its dynamic value setting for the same purpose.

Add the ability to give breakpoints a "kind" string, and have the StopInfoBreakpoint
print that in the brief description if set. Also print the kind - if set - in the breakpoint
listing.
Give kinds to a bunch of the internal breakpoints.
We were deleting the Mac OS X dynamic loader breakpoint as though the id we had stored away was
a breakpoint site ID, but in fact it was a breakpoint id, so we never actually deleted it. Fixed that.
llvm-svn: 173555
Major fixed to allow reading files that are over 4GB. The main problems were that the DataExtractor was using 32 bit offsets as a data cursor, and since we mmap all of our object files we could run into cases where if we had a very large core file that was over 4GB, we were running into the 4GB boundary.
So I defined a new "lldb::offset_t" which should be used for all file offsets.
After making this change, I enabled warnings for data loss and for enexpected implicit conversions temporarily and found a ton of things that I fixed.
Any functions that take an index internally, should use "size_t" for any indexes and also should return "size_t" for any sizes of collections.
llvm-svn: 173463
Extending ValueObjectDynamicValue so that it stores a TypeAndOrName instead of a TypeSP.
This change allows us to reflect the notion that a ValueObject can have a dynamic type for which we have no debug information.
Previously, we would coalesce that to the static type of the object, potentially losing relevant information or even getting it wrong.
This fix ensures we can correctly report the class name for Cocoa objects whose types are hidden classes that we know nothing about (e.g. __NSArrayI for immutable arrays).
As a side effect, our --show-types argument to frame variable no longer needs to append custom dynamic type information.
llvm-svn: 173216
isas and corresponding names from the underlying process
in a manner much quicker than the current approach.
The current approach accesses memory in the underlying
process with a random-access pattern as it walks across
the data structures associated with each isa. This
involves a great deal of back-and-forth with debugserver,
resulting in performance problems, especially with iOS
targets.
The new approach attempts to run an expression in the
target that collects the isas and names into two large
buffers, which LLDB then collects in one shot.

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.

for reporting class types from Objective-C runtime
class symbols. Instead, LLDB now queries the
Objective-C runtime for class types.
We have also added a (minimal) Objective-C runtime
type vendor for Objective-C runtime version 1, to
prevent regressions when calling class methods in
the V1 runtime.
Other components of this fix include:
- We search the Objective-C runtime in a few more
places.
- We enable enumeration of all members of
Objective-C classes, which Clang does in certain
circumstances.
- SBTarget::FindFirstType and SBTarget::FindTypes
now query the Objective-C runtime as needed.
- I fixed several test cases.

This commit does three things:
(a) introduces a new notification model for adding/removing/changing modules to a ModuleList, and applies it to the Target's ModuleList, so that we make sure to always trigger the right set of actions
whenever modules come and go in a target. Certain spots in the code still need to "manually" notify the Target for several reasons, so this is a work in progress
(b) adds a new capability to the Platforms: locating a scripting resources associated to a module. A scripting resource is a Python file that can load commands, formatters, ... and any other action
of interest corresponding to the loading of a module. At the moment, this is only implemented on Mac OS X and only for files inside .dSYM bundles - the next step is going to be letting
the frameworks themselves hold their scripting resources. Implementors of platforms for other systems are free to implement "the right thing" for their own worlds
(c) hooking up items (a) and (b) so that targets auto-load the scripting resources as the corresponding modules get loaded in a target. This has a few caveats at the moment:
- the user needs to manually add the .py file to the dSYM (soon, it will also work in the framework itself)
- if two modules with the same name show up during the lifetime of an LLDB session, the second one won't be able to load its scripting resource, but will otherwise work just fine
llvm-svn: 167569
Also fixed a bug where the Objective-C runtime
would not properly report that it found a class if
(a) it had to build the ObjCInterfaceDecl for the
class and (b) logging was enabled.

Dynamic type code must be efficient and fast. Now it is.
Added ObjC v1 support for getting the complete list of ISA values.
The main flow of the AppleObjCRuntime subclasses is now they must override "virtual bool UpdateISAToDescriptorMap_Impl();". This function will update the complete list of ISA values and create ClassDescriptorSP objects for each one. Now we have the complete list of valid ISA values which we can use for verification when doing dynamic typing.
Refactored a bunch of stuff so that the AppleObjCRuntime subclasses don't have to implement as many functions as they used to.
llvm-svn: 165730
over to simply update its cache and then look up
the descriptor in the cache. This is fine because
the cache now builds much faster (since descriptors
are minimal).
Metaclasses aren't in the cache, so I switched
the Describe method for class descriptors from using
GetClassDescriptor to manually creating an automatic
ClassDescriptorV2.
llvm-svn: 165579
The following are now derived lazily:
- The name of the class (cached);
- the instance size of the class (not cached);
The following have been removed entirely:
- Whether the class is realized. This is an
implementation detail.
- The contents of the objc_class object. That
object can be read as needed.
- Whether the class is valid. The fact that
we vended a class to begin with means it's
valid. We will only give up looking parts
of it up if they are not in the format we
expect.
llvm-svn: 165567
lighter-weight so that the cache can be populated
faster.
- I Added a ProcessWP to the runtime so I can
take it out of the individual descriptors, saving
space;
- I made the constructors for the descriptors
private so that only the runtime can invoke them;
and
- I removed the constructor that takes a ValueObject
since the logic for using a ValueObject is in the
runtime.

enabled after we'd found a few bugs that were caused by shadowed
local variables; the most important issue this turned up was
a common mistake of trying to obtain a mutex lock for the scope
of a code block by doing
Mutex::Locker(m_map_mutex);
This doesn't assign the lock object to a local variable; it is
a temporary that has its dtor called immediately. Instead,
Mutex::Locker locker(m_map_mutex);
does what is intended. For some reason -Wshadow happened to
highlight these as shadowed variables.
I also fixed a few obivous and easy shadowed variable issues
across the code base but there are a couple dozen more that
should be fixed when someone has a free minute.

information from the Objective-C runtime.
This patch takes the old AppleObjCSymbolVendor and
replaces it with an AppleObjCTypeVendor, which is
much more lightweight. Specifically, the SymbolVendor
needs to pretend that there is a backing symbol file
for the Types it vends, whereas a TypeVendor only
vends bare ClangASTTypes. These ClangASTTypes only
need to exist in an ASTContext.
The ClangASTSource now falls back to the runtime's
TypeVendor (if one exists) if the debug information
doesn't find a complete type for a particular
Objective-C interface. The runtime's TypeVendor
maintains an ASTContext full of types it knows about,
and re-uses the ISA-based type query information used
by the ValueObjects.
Currently, the runtime's TypeVendor doesn't provide
useful answers because we haven't yet implemented a
way to iterate across all ISAs contained in the target
process's runtime. That's the next step.
llvm-svn: 163651
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.
llvm-svn: 162860
- no setting auto completion
- very manual and error prone way of getting/setting variables
- tons of code duplication
- useless instance names for processes, threads
Now settings can easily be defined like option values. The new settings makes use of the "OptionValue" classes so we can re-use the option value code that we use to set settings in command options. No more instances, just "does the right thing".
llvm-svn: 162366
setting breakpoints. That's dangerous, since while we are setting a breakpoint,
the target might hit the dyld load notification, and start removing modules from
the list. This change adds a GetMutex accessor to the ModuleList class, and
uses it whenever we are accessing the target's ModuleList (as returned by GetImages().)

spin up a temporary "private state thread" that will respond to events from the lower level process plugins. This check-in should work to do
that, but it is still buggy. However, if you don't call functions on the private state thread, these changes make no difference.
This patch also moves the code in the AppleObjCRuntime step-through-trampoline handler that might call functions (in the case where the debug
server doesn't support the memory allocate/deallocate packet) out to a safe place to do that call.
llvm-svn: 154230
Fixed type lookups to "do the right thing". Prior to this fix, looking up a type using "foo::bar" would result in a type list that contains all types that had "bar" as a basename unless the symbol file was able to match fully qualified names (which our DWARF parser does not).
This fix will allow type matches to be made based on the basename and then have the types that don't match filtered out. Types by name can be fully qualified, or partially qualified with the new "bool exact_match" parameter to the Module::FindTypes() method.
This fixes some issue that we discovered with dynamic type resolution as well as improves the overall type lookups in LLDB.
llvm-svn: 153482
This takes two important changes:
- Calling blocks is now supported. You need to
cast their return values, but that works fine.
- We now can correctly run JIT-compiled
expressions that use floating-point numbers.
Also, we have taken a fix that allows us to
ignore access control in Objective-C as in C++.
llvm-svn: 152286
This fix really needed to happen as a previous fix I had submitted for
calculating symbol sizes made many symbols appear to have zero size since
the function that was calculating the symbol size was calling another function
that would cause the calculation to happen again. This resulted in some symbols
having zero size when they shouldn't. This could then cause infinite stack
traces and many other side affects.
llvm-svn: 152244
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.

objects for the backlink to the lldb_private::Process. The issues we were
running into before was someone was holding onto a shared pointer to a
lldb_private::Thread for too long, and the lldb_private::Process parent object
would get destroyed and the lldb_private::Thread had a "Process &m_process"
member which would just treat whatever memory that used to be a Process as a
valid Process. This was mostly happening for lldb_private::StackFrame objects
that had a member like "Thread &m_thread". So this completes the internal
strong/weak changes.
Documented the ExecutionContext and ExecutionContextRef classes so that our
LLDB developers can understand when and where to use ExecutionContext and
ExecutionContextRef objects.
llvm-svn: 151009
the lldb_private::StackFrame objects hold onto a weak pointer to the thread
object. The lldb_private::StackFrame objects the the most volatile objects
we have as when we are doing single stepping, frames can often get lost or
thrown away, only to be re-created as another object that still refers to the
same frame. We have another bug tracking that. But we need to be able to
have frames no longer be able to get the thread when they are not part of
a thread anymore, and this is the first step (this fix makes that possible
but doesn't implement it yet).
Also changed lldb_private::ExecutionContextScope to return shared pointers to
all objects in the execution context to further thread harden the internals.
llvm-svn: 150871
internals. The first part of this is to use a new class:
lldb_private::ExecutionContextRef
This class holds onto weak pointers to the target, process, thread and frame
and it also contains the thread ID and frame Stack ID in case the thread and
frame objects go away and come back as new objects that represent the same
logical thread/frame.
ExecutionContextRef objcets have accessors to access shared pointers for
the target, process, thread and frame which might return NULL if the backing
object is no longer available. This allows for references to persistent program
state without needing to hold a shared pointer to each object and potentially
keeping that object around for longer than it needs to be.
You can also "Lock" and ExecutionContextRef (which contains weak pointers)
object into an ExecutionContext (which contains strong, or shared pointers)
with code like
ExecutionContext exe_ctx (my_obj->GetExectionContextRef().Lock());
llvm-svn: 150801
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).

Currently this is only done for the ThreadPlanStepOut.

size_t
SBProcess::ReadCStringFromMemory (addr_t addr, void *buf, size_t size, lldb::SBError &error);
uint64_t
SBProcess::ReadUnsignedFromMemory (addr_t addr, uint32_t byte_size, lldb::SBError &error);
lldb::addr_t
SBProcess::ReadPointerFromMemory (addr_t addr, lldb::SBError &error);
These ReadCStringFromMemory() has some SWIG type magic that makes it return the
python string directly and the "buf" is not needed:
error = SBError()
max_cstr_len = 256
cstr = lldb.process.ReadCStringFromMemory (0x1000, max_cstr_len, error)
if error.Success():
....
The other two functions behave as expteced. This will make it easier to get integer values
from the inferior process that are correctly byte swapped. Also for pointers, the correct
pointer byte size will be used.
Also cleaned up a few printf style warnings for the 32 bit lldb build on darwin.

- I added code to SymbolFileSymtab that vends
Clang types for symbols matching the pattern
"_OBJC_CLASS_$_NSMyClassName," making them
appear as Objective-C classes. This only occurs
in modules that do not have debug information,
since otherwise SymbolFileDWARF would be in
charge of looking up types.
- I made a new SymbolVendor subclass for the
Apple Objective-C runtime that is in charge of
making global lookups of Objective-C types. It
currently just sends out type lookup requests to
the appropriate SymbolFiles, but in the future we
will probably extend it to query the runtime more
completely.
I also modified a testcase whose behavior is changed
by the fact that we now actually return an Objective-C
type for __NSCFString.
llvm-svn: 145526
"object borked"... Also made the error when the checker fails reflect this fact rather than
report a crash at 0x0.
Also a little cleanup:
- StopInfoMachException had a redundant copy of the description string.
- ThreadPlanCallFunction had a redundant copy of the thread, and had a
copy of the process that it didn't really need.
llvm-svn: 143419
so we don't have to lookup types in a type list by ID.
Changed the DWARF parser to remove the "can externally complete myself" bits
from the type when we are in the process of completing the type itself to
avoid an onslaught of external visible decl requests from the
clang::ExternalASTSource.
llvm-svn: 142461
etc to specific source files.
Added SB API's to specify these source files & also more than one module.
Added an "exact" option to CompileUnit's FindLineEntry API.
llvm-svn: 140362
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.
llvm-svn: 140298
We had some cases where getting the shared pointer for a module from
the global module list was causing a performance issue when debugging
with DWARF in .o files. Now that the module uses intrusive ref counts,
we can easily convert any pointer to a shared pointer.
llvm-svn: 139983
- introduced two new classes ValueObjectConstResultChild and ValueObjectConstResultImpl: the first one is a ValueObjectChild obtained from
a ValueObjectConstResult, the second is a common implementation backend for VOCR and VOCRCh of method calls meant to read through pointers stored
in frozen objects ; now such reads transparently move from host to target as required
- as a consequence of the above, removed code that made target-memory copies of expression results in several places throughout LLDB, and also
removed code that enabled to recognize an expression result VO as such
- introduced a new GetPointeeData() method in ValueObject that lets you read a given amount of objects of type T from a VO
representing a T* or T[], and doing dereferences transparently
in private layer it returns a DataExtractor ; in public layer it returns an instance of a newly created lldb::SBData
- as GetPointeeData() does the right thing for both frozen and non-frozen ValueObject's, reimplemented ReadPointedString() to use it
en lieu of doing the raw read itself
- introduced a new GetData() method in ValueObject that lets you get a copy of the data that backs the ValueObject (for pointers,
this returns the address without any previous dereferencing steps ; for arrays it actually reads the whole chunk of memory)
in public layer this returns an SBData, just like GetPointeeData()
- introduced a new CreateValueFromData() method in SBValue that lets you create a new SBValue from a chunk of data wrapped in an SBData
the limitation to remember for this kind of SBValue is that they have no address: extracting the address-of for these objects (with any
of GetAddress(), GetLoadAddress() and AddressOf()) will return invalid values
- added several tests to check that "p"-ing objects (STL classes, char* and char[]) will do the right thing
Solved a bug where global pointers to global variables were not dereferenced correctly for display
New target setting "max-string-summary-length" gives the maximum number of characters to show in a string when summarizing it, instead of the hardcoded 128
Solved a bug where the summary for char[] and char* would not be shown if the ValueObject's were dumped via the "p" command
Removed m_pointers_point_to_load_addrs from ValueObject. Introduced a new m_address_type_of_children, which each ValueObject can set to tell the address type
of any pointers and/or references it creates. In the current codebase, this is load address most of the time (the only notable exception being file
addresses that generate file address children UNLESS we have a live process)
Updated help text for summary-string
Fixed an issue in STL formatters where std::stlcontainer::iterator would match the container's synthetic children providers
Edited the syntax and help for some commands to have proper argument types
llvm-svn: 139160
plug-ins are add on plug-ins for the lldb_private::Process class that can add
thread contexts that are read from memory. It is common in kernels to have
a lot of threads that are not currently executing on any cores (JTAG debugging
also follows this sort of thing) and are context switched out whose state is
stored in memory data structures. Clients can now subclass the OperatingSystem
plug-ins and then make sure their Create functions correcltly only enable
themselves when the right binary/target triple are being debugged. The
operating system plug-ins get a chance to attach themselves to processes just
after launching or attaching and are given a lldb_private::Process object
pointer which can be inspected to see if the main executable, target triple,
or any shared libraries match a case where the OS plug-in should be used.
Currently the OS plug-ins can create new threads, define the register contexts
for these threads (which can all be different if desired), and populate and
manage the thread info (stop reason, registers in the register context) as
the debug session goes on.
llvm-svn: 138228
The category is enabled by default. If you run into issues with it, disable it and the previous behavior of LLDB is restored
** This is a temporary solution. The general solution to having formatters pulled in at startup should involve going through the Platform.
Fixed an issue in type synthetic list where a category with synthetic providers in it was not shown if all the providers were regex-based
llvm-svn: 137850
If no docstring is provided, a default help text is created
LLDB will refuse to create scripted commands if the scripting language is anything but Python
Some additional comments in AppleObjCRuntimeV2.cpp to describe the memory layout expected by the dynamic type lookup code
llvm-svn: 137801
- see the test case in lang/objc/objc-dynamic-value for an example
Objective-C dynamic type lookup now works for every Objective-C type
- previously, true dynamic lookup was only performed for type id
llvm-svn: 136763
Fixed a bug where Objective-C variables coming out of the expression parser could crash the Python synthetic providers:
- expression parser output has a "frozen data" component, which is a byte-exact copy of the value (in host memory),
if trying to read into memory based on the host address, LLDB would crash. we are now passing the correct (target)
pointer to the Python code
Objective-C "id" variables are now formatted according to their dynamic type, if the -d option to frame variable is used:
- Code based on the Objective-C 2.0 runtime is used to obtain this information without running code on the target
llvm-svn: 136695
- Completely new implementation of SBType
- Various enhancements in several other classes
Python synthetic children providers for std::vector<T>, std::list<T> and std::map<K,V>:
- these return the actual elements into the container as the children of the container
- basic template name parsing that works (hopefully) on both Clang and GCC
- find them in examples/synthetic and in the test suite in functionalities/data-formatter/data-formatter-python-synth
New summary string token ${svar :
- the syntax is just the same as in ${var but this new token lets you read the values
coming from the synthetic children provider instead of the actual children
- Python providers above provide a synthetic child len that returns the number of elements
into the container
Full bug fix for the issue in which getting byte size for a non-complete type would crash LLDB
Several other fixes, including:
- inverted the order of arguments in the ClangASTType constructor
- EvaluationPoint now only returns SharedPointer's to Target and Process
- the help text for several type subcommands now correctly indicates argument-less options as such
llvm-svn: 136504
Code cleanup:
- The Format Manager implementation is now split between two files: FormatClasses.{h|cpp} where the
actual formatter classes (ValueFormat, SummaryFormat, ...) are implemented and
FormatManager.{h|cpp} where the infrastructure classes (FormatNavigator, FormatManager, ...)
are contained. The wrapper code always remains in Debugger.{h|cpp}
- Several leftover fields, methods and comments from previous design choices have been removed
type category subcommands (enable, disable, delete) now can take a list of category names as input
- for type category enable, saying "enable A B C" is the same as saying
enable C
enable B
enable A
(the ordering is relevant in enabling categories, and it is expected that a user typing
enable A B C wants to look into category A, then into B, then into C and not the other
way round)
- for the other two commands, the order is not really relevant (however, the same inverted ordering
is used for consistency)
llvm-svn: 135494
variables prior to running your binary. Zero filled sections now get
section data correctly filled with zeroes when Target::ReadMemory
reads from the object file section data.
Added new option groups and option values for file lists. I still need
to hook up all of the options to "target variable" to allow more complete
introspection by file and shlib.
Added the ability for ValueObjectVariable objects to be created with
only the target as the execution context. This allows them to be read
from the object files through Target::ReadMemory(...).
Added a "virtual Module * GetModule()" function to the ValueObject
class. By default it will look to the parent variable object and
return its module. The module is needed when we have global variables
that have file addresses (virtual addresses that are specific to
module object files) and in turn allows global variables to be displayed
prior to running.
Removed all of the unused proxy object support that bit rotted in
lldb_private::Value.
Replaced a lot of places that used "FileSpec::Compare (lhs, rhs) == 0" code
with the more efficient "FileSpec::Equal (lhs, rhs)".
Improved logging in GDB remote plug-in.
llvm-svn: 134579
"struct ", "class ", and "union " from the start of any type names that are
extracted from clang QualType objects. I had to fix test suite cases that
were expecting the struct/union/class prefix to be there.
llvm-svn: 134132
of duplicated code from appearing all over LLDB:
lldb::addr_t
Process::ReadPointerFromMemory (lldb::addr_t vm_addr, Error &error);
bool
Process::WritePointerToMemory (lldb::addr_t vm_addr, lldb::addr_t ptr_value, Error &error);
size_t
Process::ReadScalarIntegerFromMemory (lldb::addr_t addr, uint32_t byte_size, bool is_signed, Scalar &scalar, Error &error);
size_t
Process::WriteScalarToMemory (lldb::addr_t vm_addr, const Scalar &scalar, uint32_t size, Error &error);
in lldb_private::Process the following functions were renamed:
From:
uint64_t
Process::ReadUnsignedInteger (lldb::addr_t load_addr,
size_t byte_size,
Error &error);
To:
uint64_t
Process::ReadUnsignedIntegerFromMemory (lldb::addr_t load_addr,
size_t byte_size,
uint64_t fail_value,
Error &error);
Cleaned up a lot of code that was manually doing what the above functions do
to use the functions listed above.
Added the ability to get a scalar value as a buffer that can be written down
to a process (byte swapping the Scalar value if needed):
uint32_t
Scalar::GetAsMemoryData (void *dst,
uint32_t dst_len,
lldb::ByteOrder dst_byte_order,
Error &error) const;
The "dst_len" can be smaller that the size of the scalar and the least
significant bytes will be written. "dst_len" can also be larger and the
most significant bytes will be padded with zeroes.
Centralized the code that adds or removes address bits for callable and opcode
addresses into lldb_private::Target:
lldb::addr_t
Target::GetCallableLoadAddress (lldb::addr_t load_addr, AddressClass addr_class) const;
lldb::addr_t
Target::GetOpcodeLoadAddress (lldb::addr_t load_addr, AddressClass addr_class) const;
All necessary lldb_private::Address functions now use the target versions so
changes should only need to happen in one place if anything needs updating.
Fixed up a lot of places that were calling :
addr_t
Address::GetLoadAddress(Target*);
to call the Address::GetCallableLoadAddress() or Address::GetOpcodeLoadAddress()
as needed. There were many places in the breakpoint code where things could
go wrong for ARM if these weren't used.
llvm-svn: 131878
and set the address as an opcode address or as a callable address. This is
needed in various places in the thread plans to make sure that addresses that
might be found in symbols or runtime might already have extra bits set (ARM/Thumb).
The new functions are:
bool
Address::SetCallableLoadAddress (lldb::addr_t load_addr, Target *target);
bool
Address::SetOpcodeLoadAddress (lldb::addr_t load_addr, Target *target);
SetCallableLoadAddress will initialize a section offset address if it can,
and if so it might possibly set some bits in the address to make the address
callable (bit zero might get set for ARM for Thumb functions).
SetOpcodeLoadAddress will initialize a section offset address using the
specified target and it will strip any special address bits if needed
depending on the target.
Fixed the ABIMacOSX_arm::GetArgumentValues() function to require arguments
1-4 to be in the needed registers (previously this would incorrectly fallback
to the stack) and return false if unable to get the register values. The
function was also modified to first look for the generic argument registers
and then fall back to finding the registers by name.
Fixed the objective trampoline handler to use the new Address::SetOpcodeLoadAddress
function when needed to avoid address mismatches when trying to complete
steps into objective C methods. Make similar fixes inside the
AppleThreadPlanStepThroughObjCTrampoline::ShouldStop() function.
Modified ProcessGDBRemote::BuildDynamicRegisterInfo(...) to be able to deal with
the new generic argument registers.
Modified RNBRemote::HandlePacket_qRegisterInfo() to handle the new generic
argument registers on the debugserver side.
Modified DNBArchMachARM::NumSupportedHardwareBreakpoints() to be able to
detect how many hardware breakpoint registers there are using a darwin sysctl.
Did the same for hardware watchpoints in
DNBArchMachARM::NumSupportedHardwareWatchpoints().
llvm-svn: 131834
the "payload_length" argument for the "payload" packet data. This meant we
could end up sending random extra data with a packet depending on how the
packet was constructed.
Fixed GDBRemoteRegisterContext to properly save and restore all registers.
Previous fixes had been added to work around the "payload_length" issues fixed
above and aren't needed anymore.
Fix logging in GDBRemoteCommunication to make sure we log the correct packet
data being sent by using the packet length when dumping the packet contents.
Added register definitions for 'arm-lldb' in the "disasm-gdb-remote.pl" script
so if you have a register dump from the GDB remote that doesn't include the
qRegisterInfo packets, you can manually tell the script which registers are
which.
llvm-svn: 131715
Mac OS X Process plugin from the build.
I'm surprised no one caught this earlier. Am I the only one who builds with
the makefiles on Mac?
llvm-svn: 131704
thread plan. In order to get the return value, you can call:
void
ThreadPlanCallFunction::RequestReturnValue (lldb::ValueSP &return_value_sp);
This registers a shared pointer to a return value that will get filled in if
everything goes well. After the thread plan is run the return value will be
extracted for you.
Added an ifdef to be able to switch between the LLVM MCJIT and the standand JIT.
We currently have the standard JIT selected because we have some work to do to
get the MCJIT fuctioning properly.
Added the ability to call functions with 6 argument in the x86_64 ABI.
Added the ability for GDBRemoteCommunicationClient to detect if the allocate
and deallocate memory packets are supported and to not call allocate memory
("_M") or deallocate ("_m") if we find they aren't supported.
Modified the ProcessGDBRemote::DoAllocateMemory(...) and ProcessGDBRemote::DoDeallocateMemory(...)
to be able to deal with the allocate and deallocate memory packets not being
supported. If they are not supported, ProcessGDBRemote will switch to calling
"mmap" and "munmap" to allocate and deallocate memory instead using our
trivial function call support.
Modified the "void ProcessGDBRemote::DidLaunchOrAttach()" to correctly ignore
the qHostInfo triple information if any was specified in the target. Currently
if the target only specifies an architecture when creating the target:
(lldb) target create --arch i386 a.out
Then the vendor, os and environemnt will be adopted by the target.
If the target was created with any triple that specifies more than the arch:
(lldb) target create --arch i386-unknown-unknown a.out
Then the target will maintain its triple and not adopt any new values. This
can be used to help force bare board debugging where the dynamic loader for
static files will get used and users can then use "target modules load ..."
to set addressses for any files that are desired.
Added back some convenience functions to the lldb_private::RegisterContext class
for writing registers with unsigned values. Also made all RegisterContext
constructors explicit to make sure we know when an integer is being converted
to a RegisterValue.
llvm-svn: 131370
respective ABI plugins as they were plug-ins that supplied ABI specfic info.
Also hookep up the UnwindAssemblyInstEmulation so that it can generate the
unwind plans for ARM.
Changed the way ABI plug-ins are handed out when you get an instance from
the plug-in manager. They used to return pointers that would be mananged
individually by each client that requested them, but now they are handed out
as shared pointers since there is no state in the ABI objects, they can be
shared.
llvm-svn: 131193
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.
llvm-svn: 129623
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.
llvm-svn: 128239
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.
llvm-svn: 127286
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
select frame #3, you can then do a step out and be able to go directly to the
frame above frame #3!
Added StepOverUntil and StepOutOfFrame to the SBThread API to allow more powerful
stepping.
llvm-svn: 123970
V2 and we only have gdb_class_getClass, then make sure the isa isn't NULL
before trying to call gdb_class_getClass otherwise we end up deadlocking the
objective C runtime.
llvm-svn: 123615
Anytime we had a valid python list that was trying to go from Python down into
our C++ API, it was allocating too little memory and it ended up smashing
whatever was next to the allocated memory.
Added typemap conversions for "void *, size_t" so we can get
SBProcess::ReadMemory() working. Also added a typemap for "const void *, size_t"
so we can get SBProcess::WriteMemory() to work.
Fixed an issue in the DWARF parser where we weren't correctly calculating the
DeclContext for all types and classes. We now should be a lot more accurate.
Fixes include: enums should now be setting their parent decl context correctly.
We saw a lot of examples where enums in classes were not being properly
namespace scoped. Also, classes within classes now get properly scoped.
Fixed the objective C runtime pointer checkers to let "nil" pointers through
since these are accepted by compiled code. We also now don't call "abort()"
when a pointer doesn't validate correctly since this was wreaking havoc on
the process due to the way abort() works. We now just dereference memory
which should give us an exception from which we can easily and reliably
recover.
llvm-svn: 123428
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
logic for finding the target of a method dispatch into this function, insert & call it. Gets calls to super, and all the
fixup & fixedup variants working properly. Also gets the class from the object so that we step through KVO wrapper methods
into the actual user code.
llvm-svn: 121437
Added a ThreadPlanCallUserExpression that differs from ThreadPlanCallFunction in that it holds onto a shared pointer to its ClangUserExpression so that can't go away before the thread plan is done using it.
Fixed the stop message when you hit a breakpoint while running a user expression so it is more obvious what has happened.
llvm-svn: 120386
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
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
that check pointer validity fail to parse. Now
lldb does not crash in that case. Also added
support for checking Objective-C class validity
in the Version 1 runtime as well as Version 2
runtimes with varying levels of available debug
support.
llvm-svn: 118271
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.
llvm-svn: 115485
adding methods to C++ and objective C classes. In order to make methods, we
need the function prototype which means we need the arguments. Parsing these
could cause a circular reference that caused an assertion.
Added a new typedef for the clang opaque types which are just void pointers:
lldb::clang_type_t. This appears in lldb-types.h.
This was fixed by enabling struct, union, class, and enum types to only get
a forward declaration when we make the clang opaque qual type for these
types. When they need to actually be resolved, lldb_private::Type will call
a new function in the SymbolFile protocol to resolve a clang type when it is
not fully defined (clang::TagDecl::getDefinition() returns NULL). This allows
us to be a lot more lazy when parsing clang types and keeps down the amount
of data that gets parsed into the ASTContext for each module.
Getting the clang type from a "lldb_private::Type" object now takes a boolean
that indicates if a forward declaration is ok:
clang_type_t lldb_private::Type::GetClangType (bool forward_decl_is_ok);
So function prototypes that define parameters that are "const T&" can now just
parse the forward declaration for type 'T' and we avoid circular references in
the type system.
