In an effort to reduce binary size for components not wishing to
link against all of LLDB, as well as a parallel effort to reduce
link dependencies on Python, this patch splits out the notion of
LLDB initialization into "full" and "common" initialization.
All code related to initializing the full LLDB suite lives directly
in API now. Previously it was only referenced from API, but because
it was defined in lldbCore, it would get implicitly linked against
by everything including lldb-server, causing a considerable
increase in binary size.
By moving this to the API layer, it also creates a better layering
for the ongoing effort to make the embedded interpreter replacable
with one from a different language (or even be completely removeable).
One semantic change necessary to get this all working was to remove
the notion of a shared debugger refcount. The debugger is either
initialized or uninitialized now, and calling Initialize() multiple
times will simply have no effect, while the first Terminate() will
now shut it down no matter how many times Initialize() was called.
This behaves nicely with all of our supported usage patterns though,
and allows us to fix a number of nasty hacks from before.

This works by creating a command backed by a class whose interface should - at least - include
def __init__(self, debugger, session_dict)
def __call__(self, args, return_obj, exe_ctx)
What works:
- adding a command via command script add --class
- calling a thusly created command
What is missing:
- support for custom help
- test cases
The missing parts will follow over the next couple of days
This is an improvement over the existing system as:
a) it provides an obvious location for commands to provide help strings (i.e. methods)
b) it allows commands to store state in an obvious fashion
c) it allows us to easily add features to script commands over time (option parsing and subcommands registration, I am looking at you :-)
llvm-svn: 232136
This works similarly to the {thread/frame/process/target.script:...} feature - you write a summary string, part of which is
${var.script:someFuncName}
someFuncName is expected to be declared as
def someFuncName(SBValue,otherArgument) - essentially the same as a summary function
Since . -> [] are the only allowed separators, and % is used for custom formatting, .script: would not be a legitimate symbol anyway, which makes this non-ambiguous
llvm-svn: 220821
The way to do this is to write a synthetic child provider for your type, and have it vend the (optional) get_value function.
If get_value is defined, and it returns a valid SBValue, that SBValue's value (as in lldb_private::Value) will be used as the synthetic ValueObject's Value
The rationale for doing things this way is twofold:
- there are many possible ways to define a "value" (SBData, a Python number, ...) but SBValue seems general enough as a thing that stores a "value", so we just trade values that way and that keeps our currency trivial
- we could introduce a new level of layering (ValueObjectSyntheticValue), a new kind of formatter (synthetic value producer), but that would complicate the model (can I have a dynamic with no synthetic children but synthetic value? synthetic value with synthetic children but no dynamic?), and I really couldn't see much benefit to be reaped from this added complexity in the matrix
On the other hand, just defining a synthetic child provider with a get_value but returning no actual children is easy enough that it's not a significant road-block to adoption of this feature
Comes with a test case

the user level. It adds the ability to invent new stepping modes implemented by python classes,
and to view the current thread plan stack and to some extent alter it.
I haven't gotten to documentation or tests yet. But this should not cause any behavior changes
if you don't use it, so its safe to check it in now and work on it incrementally.

This change removes the ScriptInterpreter::TerminateInterpreter() call which
ended up endlessly calling itself as things currently stand. It also cleans
up some other Windows-related cmake changes.

With this notion, if parties outside the ScriptInterpreter itself need to acquire a lock on script APIs, they can do so by a pattern like this:
{
auto lock = interpeter->AcquireInterpreterLock();
// do whatever you need to do...
} // lock will automatically be released here
This might be useful for classes that use the Python convenience objects (e.g. PythonDictionary) to ensure they keep the underlying interpreter in a safe and controlled condition while they call through the C API functions
Of course, the ScriptInterpreter still manages its internal locking correctly when necessary :-)

- add new header lldb-python.h to be included before other system headers
- short term fix (eventually python dependencies must be cleaned up)
Patch by Matt Kopec!
llvm-svn: 169341
a) adds a Python summary provider for NSDate
b) changes the initialization for ScriptInterpreter so that we are not passing a bulk of Python-specific function pointers around
c) provides a new ScriptInterpreterObject class that allows for ref-count safe wrapping of scripting objects on the C++ side
d) contains much needed performance improvements:
1) the pointer to the Python function generating a scripted summary is now cached instead of looked up every time
2) redundant memory reads in the Python ObjC runtime wrapper are eliminated
3) summaries now use the m_summary_str in ValueObject to store their data instead of passing around ( == copying) an std::string object
e) contains other minor fixes, such as adding descriptive error messages for some cases of summary generation failure
llvm-svn: 151703
Remove a pseudo terminal master open and slave file descriptor that was being
used for pythong stdin. It was not hooked up correctly and was causing file
descriptor leaks.

- If you download and build the sources in the Xcode project, x86_64 builds
by default using the "llvm.zip" checkpointed LLVM.
- If you delete the "lldb/llvm.zip" and the "lldb/llvm" folder, and build the
Xcode project will download the right LLVM sources and build them from
scratch
- If you have a "lldb/llvm" folder already that contains a "lldb/llvm/lib"
directory, we will use the sources you have placed in the LLDB directory.
Python can now be disabled for platforms that don't support it.
Changed the way the libllvmclang.a files get used. They now all get built into
arch specific directories and never get merged into universal binaries as this
was causing issues where you would have to go and delete the file if you wanted
to build an extra architecture slice.

It is now possible to use 'command alias --python' to define a command name that actually triggers execution of a Python function
(e.g. command alias --python foo foo_impl makes a command named 'foo' that runs Python function 'foo_impl')
The Python function foo_impl should have as signature: def foo_impl(debugger, args, stream, dict): where
debugger is an object wrapping an LLDB SBDebugger
args is the command line arguments, as an unparsed Python string
stream is an SBStream that represents the standard output
dict is an internal utility parameter and should be left untouched
The function should return None on no error, or an error string to describe any problems
llvm-svn: 137722
- 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
- you can now define a Python class as a synthetic children producer for a type
the class must adhere to this "interface":
def __init__(self, valobj, dict):
def get_child_at_index(self, index):
def get_child_index(self, name):
then using type synth add -l className typeName
(e.g. type synth add -l fooSynthProvider foo)
(This is still WIP with lots to be added)
A small test case is available also as reference
llvm-svn: 135865
- 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
overlap in the SWIG integration which has now been fixed by introducing
callbacks for initializing SWIG for each language (python only right now).
There was also a breakpoint command callback that called into SWIG which has
been abtracted into a callback to avoid cross over as well.
Added a new binary: lldb-platform
This will be the start of the remote platform that will use as much of the
Host functionality to do its job so it should just work on all platforms.
It is pretty hollowed out for now, but soon it will implement a platform
using the GDB remote packets as the transport.
llvm-svn: 128053
extra launch options:
LLDB_LAUNCH_FLAG_DISABLE_ASLR disables ASLR for all launched processes
LLDB_LAUNCH_FLAG_DISABLE_STDIO will disable STDIO (reroute to "/dev/null")
for all launched processes
LLDB_LAUNCH_FLAG_LAUNCH_IN_TTY will force all launched processes to be
launched in new terminal windows.
Also, don't init python if we never create a script interpreter.
llvm-svn: 124341
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
attempting to use the global Python interpreter when another object is already using it.
llvm-svn: 123415
accessed by the objects that own the settings. The previous approach wasn't
very usable and made for a lot of unnecessary code just to access variables
that were already owned by the objects.
While I fixed those things, I saw that CommandObject objects should really
have a reference to their command interpreter so they can access the terminal
with if they want to output usaage. Fixed up all CommandObjects to take
an interpreter and cleaned up the API to not need the interpreter to be
passed in.
Fixed the disassemble command to output the usage if no options are passed
down and arguments are passed (all disassebmle variants take options, there
are no "args only").
llvm-svn: 114252
handles user settable internal variables (the equivalent of set/show
variables in gdb). In addition to the basic infrastructure (most of
which is defined in UserSettingsController.{h,cpp}, there are examples
of two classes that have been set up to contain user settable
variables (the Debugger and Process classes). The 'settings' command
has been modified to be a command-subcommand structure, and the 'set',
'show' and 'append' commands have been moved into this sub-commabnd
structure. The old StateVariable class has been completely replaced
by this, and the state variable dictionary has been removed from the
Command Interpreter. Places that formerly accessed the state variable
mechanism have been modified to access the variables in this new
structure instead (checking the term-width; getting/checking the
prompt; etc.)
Variables are attached to classes; there are two basic "flavors" of
variables that can be set: "global" variables (static/class-wide), and
"instance" variables (one per instance of the class). The whole thing
has been set up so that any global or instance variable can be set at
any time (e.g. on start up, in your .lldbinit file), whether or not
any instances actually exist (there's a whole pending and default
values mechanism to help deal with that).

The top of the header file seems to indicate that this was
intended to be over at include/lldb/Core but we should be in line
with the .cpp file's location so it's include/lldb/Utility for now.
