This is the actual fix for the above radar where global variables that weren't
initialized were not being shown correctly when leaving the DWARF in the .o
files. Global variables that aren't intialized have symbols in the .o files
that specify they are undefined and external to the .o file, yet document the
size of the variable. This allows the compiler to emit a single copy, but makes
it harder for our DWARF in .o files with the executable having a debug map
because the symbol for the global in the .o file doesn't exist in a section
that we can assign a fixed up linked address to, and also the DWARF contains
an invalid address in the "DW_OP_addr" location (always zero). This means that
the DWARF is incorrect and actually maps all such global varaibles to the
first file address in the .o file which is usually the first function. So we
can fix this in either of two ways: make a new fake section in the .o file
so that we have a file address in the .o file that we can relink, or fix the
the variable as it is created in the .o file DWARF parser and actually give it
the file address from the executable. Each variable contains a
SymbolContextScope, or a single pointer that helps us to recreate where the
variables came from (which module, file, function, etc). This context helps
us to resolve any file addresses that might be in the location description of
the variable by pointing us to which file the file address comes from, so we
can just replace the SymbolContextScope and also fix up the location, which we
would have had to do for the other case as well, and update the file address.
Now globals display correctly.
The above changes made it possible to determine if a variable is a global
or static variable when parsing DWARF. The DWARF emits a DW_TAG_variable tag
for each variable (local, global, or static), yet DWARF provides no way for
us to classify these variables into these categories. We can now detect when
a variable has a simple address expressions as its location and this will help
us classify these correctly.
While making the above changes I also noticed that we had two symbol types:
eSymbolTypeExtern and eSymbolTypeUndefined which mean essentially the same
thing: the symbol is not defined in the current object file. Symbol objects
also have a bit that specifies if a symbol is externally visible, so I got
rid of the eSymbolTypeExtern symbol type and moved all code locations that
used it to use the eSymbolTypeUndefined type.

class. This functionality is useful when stopped in
anonymous namespaces: expressions attached to classes
in anonymous namespaces are typically elided by Clang's
CodeGen because they have no namespaces are intended
not to be externally visible. __attribute__ ((used))
forces CodeGen to emit the function.
Right now, __attribute__ ((used)) causes the JIT not to
emit the function, so we're not enabling it until we
fix that.

ClangExpressionDeclMap to ClangASTSource.
ClangASTSource now contains a TargetSP which it

allow it to complete types on behalf of any AST context
(including the "scratch" AST context associated with
the target), I scrapped its role as intermediary between
the Clang parser and ClangExpressionDeclMap, and instead
made ClangExpressionDeclMap inherit from ClangASTSource.
After this, I will migrate the functions that complete
types and perform namespace lookups from
ClangExpressionDeclMap to ClangASTSource. Ultimately
ClangExpressionDeclMap's only responsiblity will be to
look up variables and ensure that they are materialized
and dematerialized correctly.
llvm-svn: 143253
of reference types. Previously, such variables were
materialized as references to those references, which
caused undesried behavior in Clang and was useless anyway
(the benefit of using references to variables is that it
allows expressions to modify variables in place, but for
references that's not required).
Now we just materialize the references directly, which
fixes a variety of expressions that use references.
llvm-svn: 143137
"_cmd", "this", and "self". These variables are handled
differently from all other external variables used by
the expression. Other variables are used indirectly
through the $__lldb_arg operand; only _cmd, this, and
self are passed directly through the ABI.
There are two modifications:
- I added a function to ClangExpressionDeclMap that
retrives the value of one of these variables by name;
and
- I made IRInterpreter fetch these values when needed,
and ensured that the proper level of indirection is
used.
llvm-svn: 143065

expected:

(lldb) expr $blah

(int) a = 10

FindExternalVisibleDecls and FindExternalLexicalDecls

to which structs (and which call to
FindExternalLexicalDecls is doing the reporting).
llvm-svn: 141930
Specifically, the expression parser used to use
functions attached to SymbolContext to do lookups,
but nowadays it searches a ModuleList or Module
directly instead. These functions had no
remaining clients so I removed them to prevent
bit rot.
I also removed a stray callback function from
ClangExpressionDeclMap.

which had previously been commented out while I tested
it. It's not fully working yet, but it doesn't break
our testsuite and it's an important piece of
functionality.
Also added some logging to SymbolFileDWARF to help
diagnose entities that are found in a symbol file,
but do not reside in the expected namespace.
llvm-svn: 141894
context object. Having it populated and registered
within a single FindExternalVisibleDecls call worked
fine when there was only one call (i.e., when we were
just looking in the global namespace).
However, now FindExternalVisibleDecls is called for
nested namespaces as well, which means that it is
called not once but many times (once per module in
which the parent namespace appears). This means that
the namespace mapping is built up across many calls
to the inferior FindExternalVisibleDecls, so I moved
it into a data structure (the search context) that is
shared by all calls.
I also added some logging to make it easier to see
what is happening during a namespace search, and
cleaned up some existing logging.

ClangExpressionVariables found during parsing to be

calls to the FindExternalVisibleDecls function.
FindExternalVisibleDecls was recording whether
it had found generic function symbols in variables
that were local to the function. Now, however,
multiple calls occur in response to one request
from Clang, since we may be searching across
namespaces. To support that, I moved the local
variables into a bitfield in NameSearchContext.
llvm-svn: 141808
of namespaces (only in the modules where they've
been found) for entities inside those namespaces.
For each NamespaceDecl that has been imported into
the parser, we maintain a map containing
[ModuleSP, ClangNamespaceDecl] pairs in the ASTImporter.
This map has one entry for each module in which the
namespace has been found. When we later scan for an
entity inside a namespace, we search only the modules
in which that namespace was found.
Also made a small whitespace fix in
ClangExpressionParser.cpp.

This involved minor changes to the way we report Objective-C

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.

to execute expressions even in the absence of a process.
This allows expressions to run in situations where the
target cannot run -- e.g., to perform calculations based
on type information, or to inspect a binary's static
data.
This modification touches the following files:
lldb-private-enumerations.h
Introduce a new enum specifying the policy for
processing an expression. Some expressions should
always be JITted, for example if they are functions
that will be used over and over again. Some
expressions should always be interpreted, for
example if the target is unsafe to run. For most,
it is acceptable to JIT them, but interpretation
is preferable when possible.
Target.[h,cpp]
Have EvaluateExpression now accept the new enum.
ClangExpressionDeclMap.[cpp,h]
Add support for the IR interpreter and also make
the ClangExpressionDeclMap more robust in the
absence of a process.
ClangFunction.[cpp,h]
Add support for the new enum.
IRInterpreter.[cpp,h]
New implementation.
ClangUserExpression.[cpp,h]
Add support for the new enum, and for running
expressions in the absence of a process.
ClangExpression.h
Remove references to the old DWARF-based method
of evaluating expressions, because it has been
superseded for now.
ClangUtilityFunction.[cpp,h]
Add support for the new enum.
ClangExpressionParser.[cpp,h]
Add support for the new enum, remove references
to DWARF, and add support for checking whether
the expression could be evaluated statically.
IRForTarget.[h,cpp]
Add support for the new enum, and add utility
functions to support the interpreter.

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.

when asking for the address of a function, the
expression parser just asks for a corresponding

llvm-svn: 137731
that detects what context the current expression is
meant to execute in. LLDB now properly consults
the method declaration in the debug information
rather than trying to hunt down the "this" or "self"
pointer by name, which can be misleading.
Other fixes include:
- LLDB now properly detects that it is inside
an inlined C++ member function.
- LLDB now allows access to non-const members when
in const code.
- The functions in SymbolFile that locate the
DeclContext containing a DIE have been renamed
to reflect what they actually do. I have added
new functions that find the DeclContext for the
DIE itself.
I have also introduced testcases for C++ and
Objective-C.
llvm-svn: 136999
completes the support in the LLDB expression parser
for incomplete types. Clang now imports types
lazily, and we complete those types as necessary.
Changes include:
- ClangASTSource now supports three APIs which it
passes to ClangExpressionDeclMap. CompleteType
completes a TagDecl or an ObjCInterfaceDecl when
needed; FindExternalVisibleDecls finds named
entities that are visible in the expression's
scope; and FindExternalLexicalDecls performs a
(potentially restricted) search for entities
inside a lexical scope like a namespace. These
changes mean that entities in namespaces should
work normally.
- The SymbolFileDWARF code for searching a context
for a specific name is now more general, and can
search arbitrary contexts.
- We are continuing to adapt our calls into LLVM
from interfaces that take start and end iterators
when accepting multiple items to interfaces that
use ArrayRef.
- I have cleaned up some code, especially our use
of namespaces.
This change is neutral for our testsuite and greatly
improves correctness for large programs (like Clang)
with complicated type systems. It should also lay
the groundwork for improving the expression parser's
performance as we are lazier and lazier about
providing type information.
llvm-svn: 136555

objective C or C++ methods when "self" or "this" were in scope, but had

llvm-svn: 134518
inspection of namespaces in the expression parser.
ClangExpressionDeclMap hitherto reported that namespaces had
been completely imported, even though the namespaces are
returned empty. To deal with this situation, ClangASTSource
was recently extended with an API to complete incomplete type
definitions, and, for greater efficiency, to complete these
definitions partially, returning only those objects that have
a given name.
This commit supports these APIs on LLDB's side, and uses it
to provide information on types resident in namespaces.
Namespaces are now imported as they were -- that is to say,
empty -- but with minimal import mode on. This means that
Clang will come back and request their contents by name as
needed. We now respond with information on the contained
types; this will be followed soon by information on functions
and variables.

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
addr_t
Address::GetCallableLoadAddress (Target *target) const;
This will resolve the load address in the Address object and optionally
decorate the address up to be able to be called. For all non ARM targets, this
just essentially returns the result of "Address::GetLoadAddress (target)". But
for ARM targets, it checks if the address is Thumb, and if so, it returns
an address with bit zero set to indicate a mode switch to Thumb. This is how
we need function pointers to be for return addresses and when resolving
function addresses for the JIT. It is also nice to centralize this in one spot
to avoid having multiple copies of this code.

from the way they are used. Functions without debug

Variables with no debug information are not yet using
UnknownAnyTy; instead they are assumed to be void*.
Support for variables of unknown type is coming (and,
in fact, some relevant support functions are included
in this commit) but will take a bit of extra effort.
The testsuite has also been updated to reflect the new
requirement that the result of printf be cast, i.e.
expr (int) printf("Hello world!")
llvm-svn: 131263

llvm-svn: 131104
into some cleanup I have been wanting to do when reading/writing registers.
Previously all RegisterContext subclasses would need to implement:
virtual bool
ReadRegisterBytes (uint32_t reg, DataExtractor &data);
virtual bool
WriteRegisterBytes (uint32_t reg, DataExtractor &data, uint32_t data_offset = 0);
There is now a new class specifically designed to hold register values:
lldb_private::RegisterValue
The new register context calls that subclasses must implement are:
virtual bool
ReadRegister (const RegisterInfo *reg_info, RegisterValue ®_value) = 0;
virtual bool
WriteRegister (const RegisterInfo *reg_info, const RegisterValue ®_value) = 0;
The RegisterValue class must be big enough to handle any register value. The
class contains an enumeration for the value type, and then a union for the
data value. Any integer/float values are stored directly in an appropriate
host integer/float. Anything bigger is stored in a byte buffer that has a length
and byte order. The RegisterValue class also knows how to copy register value
bytes into in a buffer with a specified byte order which can be used to write
the register value down into memory, and this does the right thing when not
all bytes from the register values are needed (getting a uint8 from a uint32
register value..).
All RegiterContext and other sources have been switched over to using the new
regiter value class.

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.

diagnostics of Clang AST classes for the purpose of
debugging the types LLDB produces for DWARF objects.

lldb_private::Function objects. Previously the SymbolFileSymtab subclass
would return lldb_private::Symbol objects when it was asked to find functions.
The Module::FindFunctions (...) now take a boolean "bool include_symbols" so
that the module can track down functions and symbols, yet functions are found
by the SymbolFile plug-ins (through the SymbolVendor class), and symbols are
gotten through the ObjectFile plug-ins.
Fixed and issue where the DWARF parser might run into incomplete class member
function defintions which would make clang mad when we tried to make certain
member functions with invalid number of parameters (such as an operator=
operator that had no parameters). Now we just avoid and don't complete these
incomplete functions.
llvm-svn: 124359
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.
llvm-svn: 123613
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.

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.

can avoid running the code in the target if the
expression's result is known and the expression
has no side effects.
Right now this feature is quite conservative in
its guess about side effects, and it only computes
integer results, but the machinery to make it more
sophisticated is there.

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.

the code to pass the _cmd pointer has been improved, and _cmd
is now set to the value of _cmd for the current context, as
opposed to being simply NULL.

access to the members of the Objective-C self object.
The approach we take is to generate the method as a
@category on top of the self object, and to pass the
"self" pointer to it. (_cmd is currently NULL.)
Most changes are in ClangExpressionDeclMap, but the
change that adds support to the ABIs to pass _cmd
touches a fair amount of code.

LLDB expression execution.
We also now print the argument structure after execution,
to allow us to verify that the expression did indeed
execute correctly.

so that it is not referring to potentially stale
state during IR execution.
This was done by introducing modular state (like
ClangExpressionVariable) where groups of state
variables have well-defined lifetimes:
- m_parser_vars are specific to parsing, and only
exist between calls to WillParse() and DidParse().
- m_struct_vars survive for the entire execution
of the ClangExpressionDeclMap because they
provide the template for a materialized set of
expression variables.
- m_material_vars are specific to a single
instance of materialization, and only exist
between calls to Materialize() and
Dematerialize().
I also removed unnecessary references to long-
lived state that really didn't need to be referred
to at all, and also introduced several assert()s
that helped me diagnose a few bugs (fixed too).
