N streams by making the stream a vector of stream shared pointers
that is protected by a mutex. Streams can be get/set by index which
allows indexes to be defined as stream indentifiers. If a stream is
set at index 3 and there are now streams in the collection, then
empty stream objects are inserted to ensure that stream at index 3
has a valid stream. There is also an append method that allows a stream
to be pushed onto the stack. This will allow our streams to be very
flexible in where the output goes.
Modified the CommandReturnObject to use the new StreamTee functionality.
This class now defines two StreamTee indexes: 0 for the stream string
stream, and 1 for the immediate stream. This is used both on the output
and error streams.
Added the ability to get argument types as strings or as descriptions.
This is exported through the SBCommandInterpreter API to allow external
access.
Modified the Driver class to use the newly exported argument names from
SBCommandInterpreter::GetArgumentTypeAsCString().
llvm-svn: 126067
a Stream, and then added GetOutputData & GetErrorData to get the accumulated data.
- Added a StreamTee that will tee output to two provided lldb::StreamSP's.
- Made the CommandObjectReturn use this so you can Tee the results immediately to
the debuggers output file, as well as saving up the results to return when the command
is done executing.
- HandleCommands now uses this so that if you have a set of commands that continue the target
you will see the commands come out as they are processed.
- The Driver now uses this to output the command results as you go, which makes the interface
more reactive seeming.
llvm-svn: 126015
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
the way LLDB lazily gets complete definitions for types within the debug info.
When we run across a class/struct/union definition in the DWARF, we will only
parse the full definition if we need to. This works fine for top level types
that are assigned directly to variables and arguments, but when we have a
variable with a class, lets say "A" for this example, that has a member:
"B *m_b". Initially we don't need to hunt down a definition for this class
unless we are ever asked to do something with it ("expr m_b->getDecl()" for
example). With my previous approach to lazy type completion, we would be able
to take a "A *a" and get a complete type for it, but we wouldn't be able to
then do an "a->m_b->getDecl()" unless we always expanded all types within a
class prior to handing out the type. Expanding everything is very costly and
it would be great if there were a better way.
A few months ago I worked with the llvm/clang folks to have the
ExternalASTSource class be able to complete classes if there weren't completed
yet:
class ExternalASTSource {
....
virtual void
CompleteType (clang::TagDecl *Tag);
virtual void
CompleteType (clang::ObjCInterfaceDecl *Class);
};
This was great, because we can now have the class that is producing the AST
(SymbolFileDWARF and SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap) sign up as external AST sources
and the object that creates the forward declaration types can now also
complete them anywhere within the clang type system.
This patch makes a few major changes:
- lldb_private::Module classes now own the AST context. Previously the TypeList
objects did.
- The DWARF parsers now sign up as an external AST sources so they can complete
types.
- All of the pure clang type system wrapper code we have in LLDB (ClangASTContext,
ClangASTType, and more) can now be iterating through children of any type,
and if a class/union/struct type (clang::RecordType or ObjC interface)
is found that is incomplete, we can ask the AST to get the definition.
- The SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap class now will create and use a single AST that
all child SymbolFileDWARF classes will share (much like what happens when
we have a complete linked DWARF for an executable).
We will need to modify some of the ClangUserExpression code to take more
advantage of this completion ability in the near future. Meanwhile we should
be better off now that we can be accessing any children of variables through
pointers and always be able to resolve the clang type if needed.

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.

- Make sure cmd_obj & cmd_obj_sp contain a valid objects before attempting to
dereference, in CommandObjectCommandsAlias::Execute and
CommandInterpreter::HandleCommand.
- Modify CommandInterpreter::GetCommandSPExact to properly handle
multi-word command inputs.
llvm-svn: 121779
not the command should take raw input, then handle & dispatch the arguments appropriately.
Also change the 'alias' command to be a command that takes raw input. This is necessary to
allow aliases to be created for other commands that take raw input and might want to include
raw input in the alias itself.
Fix a bug in the aliasing mechanism when creating aliases for commands with 3-or-more words.
Raw input should now be properly handled by all the command and alias mechanisms.
llvm-svn: 121423
- Add logging for command resolution ('log enable lldb commands')
- Fix alias resolution to properly handle commands that take raw input (resolve the alias, but
don't muck up the raw arguments).
Net result: Among other things, 'expr' command can now take strings with escaped characters and
not have the command handling & alias resolution code muck up the escaped characters. E.g.
'expr printf ("\n\n\tHello there!")' should now work properly.
Not working yet: Creating aliases with raw input for commands that take raw input. Working on that.
e.g. 'command alias print_hi expr printf ("\n\tHi!")' does not work yet.

comes from by using a virtual function to provide it from the Module's
SymbolVendor by default. This allows the DWARF parser, when being used to
parse DWARF in .o files with a parent DWARF + debug map parser, to get its
type list from the DWARF + debug map parser so when we go and find full
definitions for types (that might come from other .o files), we can use the
type list from the debug map parser. Otherwise we ended up mixing clang types
from one .o file (say a const pointer to a forward declaration "class A") with
the a full type from another .o file. This causes expression parsing, when
copying the clang types from those parsed by the DWARF parser into the
expression AST, to fail -- for good reason. Now all types are created in the
same list.
Also added host support for crash description strings that can be set before
doing a piece of work. On MacOSX, this ties in with CrashReporter support
that allows a string to be dispalyed when the app crashes and allows
LLDB.framework to print a description string in the crash log. Right now this
is hookup up the the CommandInterpreter::HandleCommand() where each command
notes that it is about to be executed, so if we crash while trying to do this
command, we should be able to see the command that caused LLDB to exit. For
all other platforms, this is a nop.
llvm-svn: 118672
So the issue here was that we have lldb_private::FileSpec that by default was
always resolving a path when using the:
FileSpec::FileSpec (const char *path);
and in the:
void FileSpec::SetFile(const char *pathname, bool resolve = true);
This isn't what we want in many many cases. One example is you have "/tmp" on
your file system which is really "/private/tmp". You compile code in that
directory and end up with debug info that mentions "/tmp/file.c". Then you
type:
(lldb) breakpoint set --file file.c --line 5
If your current working directory is "/tmp", then "file.c" would be turned
into "/private/tmp/file.c" which won't match anything in the debug info.
Also, it should have been just a FileSpec with no directory and a filename
of "file.c" which could (and should) potentially match any instances of "file.c"
in the debug info.
So I removed the constructor that just takes a path:
FileSpec::FileSpec (const char *path); // REMOVED
You must now use the other constructor that has a "bool resolve" parameter that you must always supply:
FileSpec::FileSpec (const char *path, bool resolve);
I also removed the default parameter to SetFile():
void FileSpec::SetFile(const char *pathname, bool resolve);
And fixed all of the code to use the right settings.

and 'process handle'. The test suite would like to control the asynch/sync
execution of the interpreter during the middle of the test method, so the
CommandInterpreter::SetSynchronous(bool value) is modified to allow the mode to
be changed more than once.
In practice, it would be advisable to control the process and to set the
async/sync mode from a single thread, too.

the parent of Process settings; add 'default-arch' as a
class-wide setting for Target. Replace lldb::GetDefaultArchitecture
with Target::GetDefaultArchitecture & Target::SetDefaultArchitecture.
Add 'use-external-editor' as user setting to Debugger class & update
code appropriately.
Add Error parameter to methods that get user settings, for easier
reporting of bad requests.
Fix various other minor related bugs.
Fix test cases to work with new changes.
llvm-svn: 114352
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").

Make get/set variable at the debugger level always set the particular debugger's instance variables rather than
the default variables.
llvm-svn: 113474
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 goal is to separate the parser's data from the data
belonging to the parser's clients. This allows clients
to use the parser to obtain (for example) a JIT compiled
function or some DWARF code, and then discard the parser
state.
Previously, parser state was held in ClangExpression and
used liberally by ClangFunction, which inherited from
ClangExpression. The main effects of this refactoring
are:
- reducing ClangExpression to an abstract class that
declares methods that any client must expose to the
expression parser,
- moving the code specific to implementing the "expr"
command from ClangExpression and
CommandObjectExpression into ClangUserExpression,
a new class,
- moving the common parser interaction code from
ClangExpression into ClangExpressionParser, a new
class, and
- making ClangFunction rely only on
ClangExpressionParser and not depend on the
internal implementation of ClangExpression.
Side effects include:
- the compiler interaction code has been factored
out of ClangFunction and is now in an AST pass
(ASTStructExtractor),
- the header file for ClangFunction is now fully
documented,
- several bugs that only popped up when Clang was
deallocated (which never happened, since the
lifetime of the compiler was essentially infinite)
are now fixed, and
- the developer-only "call" command has been
disabled.
I have tested the expr command and the Objective-C
step-into code, which use ClangUserExpression and
ClangFunction, respectively, and verified that they
work. Please let me know if you encounter bugs or
poor documentation.

Move the "source", "alias", and "unalias" commands to "commands *".
Move "source-file" to "source list".

interface so everybody does it the same way. Add an "exact" lookup for internal uses.
Fix up a few little cases where we weren't reporting command lookup errors correctly.
Added "b" as an alias for "breakpoint" so it doesn't collide with "bt".

Add a way for the completers to say whether the completed argument should have a space inserted after is

to the debugger from GUI windows. Previously there was one global debugger
instance that could be accessed that had its own command interpreter and
current state (current target/process/thread/frame). When a GUI debugger
was attached, if it opened more than one window that each had a console
window, there were issues where the last one to setup the global debugger
object won and got control of the debugger.
To avoid this we now create instances of the lldb_private::Debugger that each
has its own state:
- target list for targets the debugger instance owns
- current process/thread/frame
- its own command interpreter
- its own input, output and error file handles to avoid conflicts
- its own input reader stack
So now clients should call:
SBDebugger::Initialize(); // (static function)
SBDebugger debugger (SBDebugger::Create());
// Use which ever file handles you wish
debugger.SetErrorFileHandle (stderr, false);
debugger.SetOutputFileHandle (stdout, false);
debugger.SetInputFileHandle (stdin, true);
// main loop
SBDebugger::Terminate(); // (static function)
SBDebugger::Initialize() and SBDebugger::Terminate() are ref counted to
ensure nothing gets destroyed too early when multiple clients might be
attached.
Cleaned up the command interpreter and the CommandObject and all subclasses
to take more appropriate arguments.
