- 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

Add a virtual method GetHardwareWatchpointHit() to the DNBArchProtocol base class
which consults the architecture to return the watchpoint hit; otherwise return an
invalid index.
Add impl. of the method to X86_64 and I386 subclasses, plus reset the debug status
register before we resume execution of the inferior thread.

register names when dumping variable locations and location lists. Also did
some cleanup where "int" types were being used for "lldb::RegisterKind"
values.

DWARF accelerator table sections to the DWARF parser. These sections are similar
to the .debug_pubnames and .debug_pubtypes, but they are designed to be hash tables
that are saved to disc in a way that the sections can just be loaded into memory
and used without any work on the debugger side. The .debug_pubnames and .debug_pubtypes
sections are not ordered, contain a copy of the name in the section itself which
makes these sections quite large, they only include publicly exported names (so no
static functions, no types defined inside functions), many compilers put different
information in them making them very unreliable so most debugger ignore these sections
and parse the DWARF on their own. The tables must also be parsed and sorted in order
to be used effectively. The new sections can be quickly loaded and very efficiently be used
to do name to DIE lookups with very little up front work. The format of these new
sections will be changing while we work out the bugs, but we hope to have really
fast name to DIE lookups soon.

file that had a symbol that had a section specified where the section had
zero size. We now honor this section definition for the symbol and don't
assert anymore.

built locally from the source tree. This is distinguished from self.lldbExec, which
can be used by test/benchmarks to measure the performances against other debuggers.
You can use environment variable LLDB_EXEC to specify self.lldbExec to the dotest.py
test driver, otherwise it is going to be populated with self.lldbHere.
Modify the regular tests under test dir, i.e., not test/benchmarks, to use self.lldbHere.
Also modify the benchmarks tests to use self.lldbHere when it needs an 'lldb' executable
with debug info to do the performance measurements.

(in addition to the previous error message if the value could not be
parsed as a numbe). These both generate reasonable errors now -
reg write rip 0x500000000000000000000a
reg write rip 0x5jjjj

'log list' output.
Remove an extraneous \n from one of the lldb/commands
log line.
Add an lldb/commands log indicating whether the command
was successful or not.
llvm-svn: 138530
Renamed format "signed decimal" to be "decimal". "unsigned decimal" remains unchanged:
- the name "signed decimal" was interfering with symbol %S (use summary) in summary strings.
because of the way summary strings are implemented, this did not really lead to a bug, but
simply to performing more steps than necessary to display a summary. this is fixed.
Documentation improvements (more on synthetic children, some information on filters). This is still a WIP.
llvm-svn: 138384
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
rolled back, and the testcase that the rollback
broke.
The new LLVM has a new ARM disassembler, which
may cause instability. Keeping the old one would
force us into a contorted position vis-a-vis the
LLVM sources we bring in, so we will address
issues on the new one rather than keeping the old
one around.

- FormatCategories now are directly mapped by ConstString objects instead of going through
const char* -> ConstString -> const char*
- FormatCategory callback does not pass category name anymore. This is not necessary because
FormatCategory objects themselves hold their name as a member variable
llvm-svn: 138254
If you have a Python module foo, in order to use its contained objects in LLDB you do not need to use
'from foo import *'. You can use 'import foo', and then refer to items in foo as 'foo.bar', and LLDB
will know how to resolve bar as a member of foo.
Accordingly, GNU libstdc++ formatters have been moved from the global namespace to gnu_libstdcpp and a few
test cases are also updated to reflect the new convention. Python docs suggest using a plain 'import' en lieu of
'from-import'.

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.

e.g. you may get "foo_class @ 0x123456" when typing "type summary add -f ${var} foo_class"
- Added a new special formatting token %T for summaries. This shows the type of the object.
Using it, the new "type @ location" summary could be manually generated by writing ${var%T} @ ${var%L}
- Bits and pieces required to support "frame variable array[n-m]"
The feature is not enabled yet because some additional design and support code is required, but the basics
are getting there
- Fixed a potential issue where a ValueObjectSyntheticFilter was not holding on to its SyntheticChildrenSP
Because of the way VOSF are being built now, this has never been an actual issue, but it is still sensible for
a VOSF to hold on to the SyntheticChildrenSP as well as to its FrontEnd

and to invoke lldb-disasm.py on the binary file to disassemble its symbols. The number of symbols can
be specified by, for example, '-n 10000', to specify 10,000 symbols to disassemble for each module.
By default, only 1000 symbols from each module are disassembled.
Example:
utils/test/run-dis.py -r '/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/4.3/Symbols' -p '^/System/Library/.*Frameworks/.*\.framework/[^/]+$'
tries to disassemble every public/private frameworks (by default only 1000 symbols are disassembled) under iOS4.3.

revision and adding a patch that fixes an AsmParser
crash on ARM.
One feature that we unfortunately lost (for the
moment!) is the ability to cast unknown code symbols
to arbitrary function types and put the resulting
function pointer in a result variable. This feature
will be back, though.
llvm-svn: 138036
- reorganizing the PTS (Partial Template Specializations) in FormatManager.h
- applied a patch by Filipe Cabecinhas to make LLDB compile with GCC
Functional changes:
- fixed an issue where command type summary add for type "struct Foo" would not match any types.
currently, "struct" will be stripped off and type "Foo" will be matched.
similar behavior occurs for class, enum and union specifiers.
