Still need to add "in methods of a class" to the specifiers, and the ability to write the stop hooks in the Scripting language as well as in the Command Language.

correct order. Previously this was tacitly implemented but not
enforced, so it was possible to accidentally do things in the wrong
order and cause problems. This fixes that problem.
llvm-svn: 127430
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
Modifed lldb_private::Process to be able to handle connecting to a remote
target that isn't running a process. This leaves lldb_private::Process in the
eStateConnected state from which we can then do an attach or launch.
Modified ProcessGDBRemote to be able to set stdin, stdout, stderr, working
dir, disable ASLR and a few other settings down by using new GDB remote
packets. This allows us to keep all of our current launch flags and settings
intact and still be able to communicate them over to the remote GDB server.
Previously these were being sent as arguments to the debugserver binary that
we were spawning. Also modified ProcessGDBRemote to handle losing connection
to the remote GDB server and always exit immediately. We do this by watching
the lldb_private::Communication event bit for the read thread exiting in the
ProcessGDBRemote async thread.
Added support for many of the new 'Q' packets for setting stdin, stdout,
stderr, working dir and disable ASLR to the GDBRemoteCommunication class for
easy accesss.
Modified debugserver for all of the new 'Q' packets and also made it so that
debugserver always exists if it loses connection with the remote debugger.
llvm-svn: 126444
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
it should live and the lldb_private::Process takes care of managing the
auto pointer to the dynamic loader instance.
Also, now that the ArchSpec contains the target triple, we are able to
correctly set the Target architecture in DidLaunch/DidAttach in the subclasses,
and then the lldb_private::Process will find the dynamic loader plug-in
by letting the dynamic loader plug-ins inspect the arch/triple in the target.
So now the ProcessGDBRemote plug-in is another step closer to be purely
process/platform agnostic.
I updated the ProcessMacOSX and the ProcessLinux plug-ins accordingly.
llvm-svn: 125650
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
(lldb) process connect <remote-url>
Currently when you specify a file with the file command it helps us to find
a process plug-in that is suitable for debugging. If you specify a file you
can rely upon this to find the correct debugger plug-in:
% lldb a.out
Current executable set to 'a.out' (x86_64).
(lldb) process connect connect://localhost:2345
...
If you don't specify a file, you will need to specify the plug-in name that
you wish to use:
% lldb
(lldb) process connect --plugin process.gdb-remote connect://localhost:2345
Other connection URL examples:
(lldb) process connect connect://localhost:2345
(lldb) process connect tcp://127.0.0.1
(lldb) process connect file:///dev/ttyS1
We are currently treating the "connect://host:port" as a way to do raw socket
connections. If there is a URL for this already, please let me know and we
will adopt it.
So now you can connect to a remote debug server with the ProcessGDBRemote
plug-in. After connection, it will ask for the pid info using the "qC" packet
and if it responds with a valid process ID, it will be equivalent to attaching.
If it response with an error or invalid process ID, the LLDB process will be
in a new state: eStateConnected. This allows us to then download a program or
specify the program to run (using the 'A' packet), or specify a process to
attach to (using the "vAttach" packets), or query info about the processes
that might be available.
llvm-svn: 124846
they may be in sensitive areas and we set breakpoints on the thread creation routines
if we are running expressions, so the threads should quickly get to a safe spot.
llvm-svn: 124115
takes separate file handles for stdin, stdout, and stder and also allows for
the working directory to be specified.
Added support to "process launch" to a new option: --working-dir=PATH. We
can now set the working directory. If this is not set, it defaults to that
of the process that has LLDB loaded. Added the working directory to the
host LaunchInNewTerminal function to allows the current working directory
to be set in processes that are spawned in their own terminal. Also hooked this
up to the lldb_private::Process and all mac plug-ins. The linux plug-in had its
API changed, but nothing is making use of it yet. Modfied "debugserver" and
"darwin-debug" to also handle the current working directory options and modified
the code in LLDB that spawns these tools to pass the info along.
Fixed ProcessGDBRemote to properly pass along all file handles for stdin, stdout
and stderr.
After clearing the default values for the stdin/out/err file handles for
process to be NULL, we had a crasher in UserSettingsController::UpdateStringVariable
which is now fixed. Also fixed the setting of boolean values to be able to
be set as "true", "yes", "on", "1" for true (case insensitive) and "false", "no",
"off", or "0" for false.
Fixed debugserver to properly handle files for STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR that are not
already opened. Previous to this fix debugserver would only correctly open and dupe
file handles for the slave side of a pseudo terminal. It now correctly handles
getting STDIN for the inferior from a file, and spitting STDOUT and STDERR out to
files. Also made sure the file handles were correctly opened with the NOCTTY flag
for terminals.
llvm-svn: 124060
checking the validity of the shared pointer prior to using it.
Fixed the GDB remote plug-in to once again watch for a reply from the "k"
packet, and fixed the logic to make sure the thread requesting the kill
and the async thread play nice (and very quickly) by synchronizing the
packet sending and reply. I also tweaked some of the shut down packet
("k" kill, "D" detach, and the halt packet) to make sure they do the right
thing.
Fixed "StateType Process::WaitForProcessStopPrivate (...)" to correctly pass
the timeout along to WaitForStateChangedEventsPrivate() and made the function
behave correctly with respect to timing out.
Added separate STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR support to debugserver. Also added
the start of being able to set the working directory for the inferior process.
llvm-svn: 124049
threads that we spawn let us know when they are going away and that we
don't timeout waiting for a message from threads that have gone away.
We also now don't expect the "k" packet (kill) to send a response. This
greatly speeds up debugger shutdown performance. The test suite now runs
quite a bit faster.
Added a fix to the variable display code that fixes the display of
base classes. We were assuming the virtual or normal base class offsets
were being given in bit sizes, but they were being given as character
sizes, so we needed to multiply the offset by 8. This wasn't affecting
the expression parser, but it was affecting the correct display of C++
class base classes and all of their children.

Setting m_private_state_thread to an invalid value when the child thread exits
results in a race condition between calls to ThreadCancel and ThreadJoin.

by LLDB. Instead of being materialized into the input structure
passed to the expression, variables are left in place and pointers
to them are materialzied into the structure. Variables not resident
in memory (notably, registers) get temporary memory regions allocated
for them.
Persistent variables are the most complex part of this, because they
are made in various ways and there are different expectations about
their lifetime. Persistent variables now have flags indicating their
status and what the expectations for longevity are. They can be
marked as residing in target memory permanently -- this is the
default for result variables from expressions entered on the command
line and for explicitly declared persistent variables (but more on
that below). Other result variables have their memory freed.
Some major improvements resulting from this include being able to
properly take the address of variables, better and cleaner support
for functions that return references, and cleaner C++ support in
general. One problem that remains is the problem of explicitly
declared persistent variables; I have not yet implemented the code
that makes references to them into indirect references, so currently
materialization and dematerialization of these variables is broken.

Previously we would be posting a "FAILED" message to the log channel even when
the operation succeeded.
Also, take this opportunity to add braces thus eliminating an "ambiguous else"
compiler warning.

a method:
void RegisterContext::InvalidateIfNeeded (bool force);
Each time this function is called, when "force" is false, it will only call
the pure virtual "virtual void RegisterContext::InvalideAllRegisters()" if
the register context's stop ID doesn't match that of the process. When the
stop ID doesn't match, or "force" is true, the base class will clear its
cached registers and the RegisterContext will update its stop ID to match
that of the process. This helps make it easier to correctly flush the register
context (possibly from multiple locations depending on when and where new
registers are availabe) without inadvertently clearing the register cache
when it doesn't need to be.
Modified the ProcessGDBRemote plug-in to be much more efficient when it comes
to:
- caching the expedited registers in the stop reply packets (we were ignoring
these before and it was causing us to read at least three registers every
time we stopped that were already supplied in the stop reply packet).
- When a thread has no stop reason, don't keep asking for the thread stopped
info. Prior to this fix we would continually send a qThreadStopInfo packet
over and over when any thread stop info was requested. We now note the stop
ID that the stop info was requested for and avoid multiple requests.
Cleaned up some of the expression code to not look for ClangExpressionVariable
objects up by name since they are now shared pointers and we can just look for
the exact pointer match and avoid possible errors.
Fixed an bug in the ValueObject code that would cause children to not be
displayed.
llvm-svn: 123127
subclasses will automatically be able to take advantage of caching. The
cache line size is set to 512 by default.
This greatly speeds up stack backtraces on MacOSX when using the
ProcessGDBRemote process plug-in since only about 6300 packets per second
can be sent.
Initial speedups show:
Prior to caching: 10,000 stack frames took 5.2 seconds
After caching: 10,000 stack frames in 240 ms!
About a 20x speedup!
llvm-svn: 122996
an issue with the way the UnwindLLDB was handing out RegisterContexts: it
was making shared pointers to register contexts and then handing out just
the pointers (which would get put into shared pointers in the thread and
stack frame classes) and cause double free issues. MallocScribble helped to
find these issues after I did some other cleanup. To help avoid any
RegisterContext issue in the future, all code that deals with them now
returns shared pointers to the register contexts so we don't end up with
multiple deletions. Also now that the RegisterContext class doesn't require
a stack frame, we patched a memory leak where a StackFrame object was being
created and leaked.
Made the RegisterContext class not have a pointer to a StackFrame object as
one register context class can be used for N inlined stack frames so there is
not a 1 - 1 mapping. Updates the ExecutionContextScope part of the
RegisterContext class to never return a stack frame to indicate this when it
is asked to recreate the execution context. Now register contexts point to the
concrete frame using a concrete frame index. Concrete frames are all of the
frames that are actually formed on the stack of a thread. These concrete frames
can be turned into one or more user visible frames due to inlining. Each
inlined stack frame has the exact same register context (shared via shared
pointers) as any parent inlined stack frames all the way up to the concrete
frame itself.
So now the stack frames and the register contexts should behave much better.
llvm-svn: 122976
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
have children sections).
Modified SectionLoadList to do it's own multi-threaded protected on its map.
The ThreadSafeSTLMap class was difficult to deal with and wasn't providing
much utility, it was only getting in the way.
Make sure when the communication read thread is about to exit, it clears the
thread in the main class.
Fixed the ModuleList to correctly ignore architectures and UUIDs if they aren't
valid when searching for a matching module. If we specified a file with no arch,
and then modified the file and loaded it again, it would not match on subsequent
searches if the arch was invalid since it would compare an invalid architecture
to the one that was found or selected within the shared library or executable.
This was causing stale modules to stay around in the global module list when they
should have been removed.
Removed deprecated functions from the DynamicLoaderMacOSXDYLD class.
Modified "ProcessGDBRemote::IsAlive" to check if we are connected to a gdb
server and also make sure our process hasn't exited.

do. Closing on EOF is an option that can be set on the
lldb_private::Communication or the lldb::SBCommunication objects after they
are created. Of course the EOF support isn't hooked up, so they don't do
anything at the moment, but they are left in so when the code is fixed, it
will be easy to get working again.
llvm-svn: 120885
was done as an settings variable in the process for now. We will eventually
move all environment stuff over to the target, but we will leave it with the

environment. This can be disabled by setting the "inherit-env" setting to
false in the process.
llvm-svn: 120862
inferior to be launched without setting up terminal stdin/stdout for it
(leaving the lldb command line accessible while the program is executing).
Also add a user settings variable, 'target.process.disable-stdio' to allow
the user to set this globally rather than having to use the command option
each time the process is launched.
llvm-svn: 120825
Add bool member to Communication class indicating whether the
Connection should be closed on receiving an EOF or not. Update the
Connection read to return an EOF status when appropriate. Modify the
Communication class to pass the EOF along or not, and to close the
Connection or not, as appropriate.
llvm-svn: 120723
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.
