- 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
API.
SBTarget changes include changing:
bool
SBTarget::ResolveLoadAddress (lldb::addr_t vm_addr,
lldb::SBAddress& addr);
to be:
lldb::SBAddress
SBTarget::ResolveLoadAddress (lldb::addr_t vm_addr);
SBAddress can how contruct itself using a load address and a target
which can be used to resolve the address:
SBAddress (lldb::addr_t load_addr, lldb::SBTarget &target);
This will actually just call the new SetLoadAddress accessor:
void
SetLoadAddress (lldb::addr_t load_addr,
lldb::SBTarget &target);
This function will always succeed in making a SBAddress object
that can be used in API calls (even if "target" isn't valid).
If "target" is valid and there are sections currently loaded,
then it will resolve the address to a section offset address if
it can. Else an address with a NULL section and an offset that is
the "load_addr" that was passed in. We do this because a load address
might be from the heap or stack.
llvm-svn: 135770
(e.g. ${var%S}). this might already be the default if your variable is of an aggregate type
new feature: synthetic filters. you can restrict the number of children for your variables to only a meaningful subset
- the restricted list of children obeys the typical rules (e.g. summaries prevail over children)
- one-line summaries show only the filtered (synthetic) children, if you type an expanded summary string, or you use Python scripts, all the real children are accessible
- to provide a synthetic children list use the "type synth add" command, as in:
type synth add foo_type --child varA --child varB[0] --child varC->packet->flags[1-4]
(you can use ., ->, single-item array operator [N] and bitfield operator [N-M]; array slice access is not supported, giving simplified names to expression paths is not supported)
- a new -S option to frame variable and target variable lets you override synthetic children and instead show real ones
llvm-svn: 135731
- help type summary add now gives some hints on how to use it
frame variable and target variable now have a --no-summary-depth (-Y) option:
- simply using -Y without an argument will skip one level of summaries, i.e.
your aggregate types will expand their children and display no summary, even
if they have one. children will behave normally
- using -Y<int>, as in -Y4, -Y7, ..., will skip as many levels of summaries as
given by the <int> parameter (obviously, -Y and -Y1 are the same thing). children
beneath the given depth level will behave normally
-Y0 is the same as omitting the --no-summary-depth parameter entirely
This option replaces the defined-but-unimplemented --no-summary
llvm-svn: 135336
represent pointers and arrays by adding an extra parameter to the
SBValue
SBValue::GetChildAtIndex (uint32_t idx,
DynamicValueType use_dynamic,
bool can_create_synthetic);
The new "can_create_synthetic" will allow you to create child values that
aren't actually a part of the original type. So if you code like:
int *foo_ptr = ...
And you have a SBValue that contains the value for "foo_ptr":
SBValue foo_value = ...
You can now get the "foo_ptr[12]" item by doing this:
v = foo_value.GetChiltAtIndex (12, lldb.eNoDynamicValues, True);
Normall the "foo_value" would only have one child value (an integer), but
we can create "synthetic" child values by treating the pointer as an array.
Likewise if you have code like:
int array[2];
array_value = ....
v = array_value.GetChiltAtIndex (0); // Success, v will be valid
v = array_value.GetChiltAtIndex (1); // Success, v will be valid
v = array_value.GetChiltAtIndex (2); // Fail, v won't be valid, "2" is not a valid zero based index in "array"
But if you use the ability to create synthetic children:
v = array_value.GetChiltAtIndex (0, lldb.eNoDynamicValues, True); // Success, v will be valid
v = array_value.GetChiltAtIndex (1, lldb.eNoDynamicValues, True); // Success, v will be valid
v = array_value.GetChiltAtIndex (2, lldb.eNoDynamicValues, True); // Success, v will be valid
llvm-svn: 135292
- 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
Made it so that you can create synthetic children of array
value objects. This is for creating array members when the
array index is out of range. This comes in handy when you have
a structure definition like:
struct Collection
{
uint32_t count;
Item array[0];
};
"array" has 1 item, but many times in practice there are more
items in "item_array".
This allows you to do:
(lldb) target variable g_collection.array[3]
To implement this, the get child at index has been modified
to have a "ignore_array_bounds" boolean that can be set to true.
llvm-svn: 134846
would return instead of a less than helpful "name: '%s'" description.
Make sure that when we ask for the error from a ValueObject object we
first update the value if needed.
Cleaned up some SB functions to use internal functions and not re-call
through the public API when possible.
llvm-svn: 134497
instructions if they are conditional. Also fixed issues where the PC wasn't
getting bit zero stripped for ARM targets when a stack frame was thumb. We
now properly call through the GetOpcodeLoadAddress() functions to make sure
the addresses are properly stripped for any targets that may decorate up
their addresses.
We now don't pass the SIGSTOP signals along. We can revisit this soon, but
currently this was interfering with debugging some older ARM targets that
don't have vCont support in the GDB server.
llvm-svn: 134461
"struct ", "class ", and "union " from the start of any type names that are
extracted from clang QualType objects. I had to fix test suite cases that
were expecting the struct/union/class prefix to be there.
llvm-svn: 134132
level in the public API.
Also modified the ValueObject values to be able to display global variables
without having a valid running process. The globals will read themselves from
the object file section data if there is no process, and from the process if
there is one.
Also fixed an issue where modifications for dynamic types could cause child
values of ValueObjects to not show up if the value was unable to evaluate
itself (children of NULL pointer objects).
llvm-svn: 134102
Fixed crashes for SBValue fuzz calls.
And change 'bool SBType::IsPointerType(void)' to
'bool SBType::IsAPointerType(void)' to avoid name collision with the static 'bool SBType::IsPointerType(void *)'
function, which SWIG cannot handle.
llvm-svn: 134096
changes that caused all SBValue objects to completely ignore the target
lock due to bad C++ scoping of the target Mutex::Locker variables.
llvm-svn: 134081
connected process connection.
Also added support for more kinds of continue packet when multiple threads
need to continue where some want to continue with signals.
llvm-svn: 133785
after initial construction.
There are two exceptions to the above general rules, though; the API objects are
SBCommadnReturnObject and SBStream.
llvm-svn: 133475
const char *
SBFrame::GetFunctionName();
bool
SBFrame::IsInlined();
The first one will return the correct name for a frame. The name of a frame is:
- the name of the inlined function (if there is one)
- the name of the concrete function (if there is one)
- the name of the symbol (if there is one)
- NULL
We also can now easily check if a frame is an inline function or not.
llvm-svn: 133357
Among them are test cases to exercise SBTarget.AttachToProcessWithName(); we attach to "hello_world",
and verify that, after attachment, the currently selected target indeed matches "hello_world".
llvm-svn: 133279
libraries and headers exist. This can be specified using the platform select
function:
platform select --sysroot /Volumes/remote-root remote-macosx
Each platform subclass is free to interpret the sysroot as needed.
Expose the new SDK root directory through the SBDebugger class.
Fixed an issue with the GDB remote protocol where unimplemented packets were
not being handled correctly.
llvm-svn: 133231
darwin (not sure about other platforms).
Modified the communication and connection classes to not require the
BytesAvailable function. Now the "Read(...)" function has a timeout in
microseconds.
Fixed a lot of assertions that were firing off in certain cases and replaced
them with error output and code that can deal with the assertion case.
llvm-svn: 133224
Add a test case for the SBTarget::AttachToProcessWithID() API call.
o main.c:
The change goes with the added test case test_with_dwarf_and_attach_to_process_with_id_api() above.
o SBTarget.cpp:
Checks whether we're in synchronous mode. If yes, let's wait for the process to stop right after attaching.
llvm-svn: 133223
bool SBDebugger::DeleteTarget(lldb::SBTarget &target);
which is used in the test tearDown() phase to cleanup the debugger's target list
so that it won't grow larger and larger as test cases are executed. This is also
a good opportunity to get rid of the arcane requirement that test cases exercising
the Python API must assign the process object to self.process so that it gets
shutdown gracefully. Instead, the shutdown of the process associated with each
target is now being now automatically.
Also get rid of an API from SBTarget class:
SBTarget::DeleteTargetFromList(lldb_private::TargetList *list);
llvm-svn: 133091
(or anything running in a terminal) wants. Not what a UI (Xcode) would want
where it creates a debugger per debug window. The current code had an infinite
loop after a debug session ended.
llvm-svn: 132280
command line driver, including the lldb prompt being output by
editline, the asynchronous process output & error messages, and
asynchronous messages written by target stop-hooks.
As part of this it introduces a new Stream class,
StreamAsynchronousIO. A StreamAsynchronousIO object is created with a
broadcaster, who will eventually broadcast the stream's data for a
listener to handle, and an event type indicating what type of event
the broadcaster will broadcast. When the Write method is called on a
StreamAsynchronousIO object, the data is appended to an internal
string. When the Flush method is called on a StreamAsynchronousIO
object, it broadcasts it's data string and clears the string.
Anything in lldb-core that needs to generate asynchronous output for
the end-user should use the StreamAsynchronousIO objects.
I have also added a new notification type for InputReaders, to let
them know that a asynchronous output has been written. This is to
allow the input readers to, for example, refresh their prompts and
lines, if desired. I added the case statements to all the input
readers to catch this notification, but I haven't added any code for
handling them yet (except to the IOChannel input reader).
llvm-svn: 130721
interface.
Added a quick way to set the platform though the SBDebugger interface. I will
actually an a SBPlatform support soon, but for now this will do.
ConnectionFileDescriptor can be passed a url formatted as: "fd://<fd>" where
<fd> is a file descriptor in the current process. This is handy if you have
services, deamons, or other tools that can spawn processes and give you a
file handle.
llvm-svn: 130565
are defined as enumerations. Current bits include:
eEmulateInstructionOptionAutoAdvancePC
eEmulateInstructionOptionIgnoreConditions
Modified the EmulateInstruction class to have a few more pure virtuals that
can help clients understand how many instructions the emulator can handle:
virtual bool
SupportsEmulatingIntructionsOfType (InstructionType inst_type) = 0;
Where instruction types are defined as:
//------------------------------------------------------------------
/// Instruction types
//------------------------------------------------------------------
typedef enum InstructionType
{
eInstructionTypeAny, // Support for any instructions at all (at least one)
eInstructionTypePrologueEpilogue, // All prologue and epilogue instructons that push and pop register values and modify sp/fp
eInstructionTypePCModifying, // Any instruction that modifies the program counter/instruction pointer
eInstructionTypeAll // All instructions of any kind
} InstructionType;
This allows use to tell what an emulator can do and also allows us to request
these abilities when we are finding the plug-in interface.
Added the ability for an EmulateInstruction class to get the register names
for any registers that are part of the emulation. This helps with being able
to dump and log effectively.
The UnwindAssembly class now stores the architecture it was created with in
case it is needed later in the unwinding process.
Added a function that can tell us DWARF register names for ARM that goes
along with the source/Utility/ARM_DWARF_Registers.h file:
source/Utility/ARM_DWARF_Registers.c
Took some of plug-ins out of the lldb_private namespace.
llvm-svn: 130189
i.e., with 'SBStream &description' first, followed by 'DescriptionLevel level'.
Modify lldbutil.py so that get_description() for a target or breakpoint location
can just take the lldb object itself without specifying an option to mean option
lldb.eDescriptionLevelBrief. Modify TestTargetAPI.py to exercise this logic path.
llvm-svn: 130147
inline contexts when the deepest most block is not inlined.
Added source path remappings to the lldb_private::Target class that allow it
to remap paths found in debug info so we can find source files that are elsewhere
on the current system.
Fixed disassembly by function name to disassemble inline functions that are
inside other functions much better and to show enough context before the
disassembly output so you can tell where things came from.
Added the ability to get more than one address range from a SymbolContext
class for the case where a block or function has discontiguous address ranges.
llvm-svn: 130044
pointer to a ValueObject or any of its dependent ValueObjects, and the whole cluster will
stay around as long as that shared pointer stays around.
llvm-svn: 130035
The idea is that the instruction to be emulated is actually executed
on the hardware to be emulated, with the before and after state of the
hardware being captured and 'freeze-dried' into .dat files. The
emulation testing code then loads the before & after state from the
.dat file, emulates the instruction using the before state, and
compares the resulting state to the 'after' state. If they match, the
emulation is accurate, otherwise there is a problem.
The final format of the .dat files needs a bit more work; the plan is
to generalize them a bit and to convert the plain values to key-value pairs.
But I wanted to get this first pass committed.
This commit adds arm instruction emulation testing to the testsuite, along with
many initial .dat files.
It also fixes a bug in the llvm disassembler, where 32-bit thumb opcodes
were getting their upper & lower 16-bits reversed.
There is a new Instruction sub-class, that is intended to be loaded
from a .dat file rather than read from an executable. There is also a
new EmulationStateARM class, for handling the before & after states.
EmulationStates for other architetures can be added later when we
emulate their instructions.
llvm-svn: 129832
$ lldb --arch i386-unknown-unknown a.out
It would then create a target with only the "i386" part due to
SBDebugger::GetDefaultArchitecture(...) truncating the arch triple due to the
way things used to be.
llvm-svn: 129731
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.
llvm-svn: 129623
the CommandInterpreter where it was always being used.
Make sure that Modules can track their object file offsets correctly to
allow opening of sub object files (like the "__commpage" on darwin).
Modified the Platforms to be able to launch processes. The first part of this
move is the platform soon will become the entity that launches your program
and when it does, it uses a new ProcessLaunchInfo class which encapsulates
all process launching settings. This simplifies the internal APIs needed for
launching. I want to slowly phase out process launching from the process
classes, so for now we can still launch just as we used to, but eventually
the platform is the object that should do the launching.
Modified the Host::LaunchProcess in the MacOSX Host.mm to correctly be able
to launch processes with all of the new eLaunchFlag settings. Modified any
code that was manually launching processes to use the Host::LaunchProcess
functions.
Fixed an issue where lldb_private::Args had implicitly defined copy
constructors that could do the wrong thing. This has now been fixed by adding
an appropriate copy constructor and assignment operator.
Make sure we don't add empty ModuleSP entries to a module list.
Fixed the commpage module creation on MacOSX, but we still need to train
the MacOSX dynamic loader to not get rid of it when it doesn't have an entry
in the all image infos.
Abstracted many more calls from in ProcessGDBRemote down into the
GDBRemoteCommunicationClient subclass to make the classes cleaner and more
efficient.
Fixed the default iOS ARM register context to be correct and also added support
for targets that don't support the qThreadStopInfo packet by selecting the
current thread (only if needed) and then sending a stop reply packet.
Debugserver can now start up with a --unix-socket (-u for short) and can
then bind to port zero and send the port it bound to to a listening process
on the other end. This allows the GDB remote platform to spawn new GDB server
instances (debugserver) to allow platform debugging.
llvm-svn: 129351
- Add ability to control whether or not the emulator advances the
PC register (in the emulation state), if the instruction itself
does not change the pc value..
- Fix a few typos in asm description strings.
- Fix bug in the carry flag calculation.
llvm-svn: 129168
Something changed in commit r129112 where a few standard headers vanished from
the include chain when building on Linux. Fix up by including limits.h for
INT_MAX and PATH_MAX where needed, and stdio.h for printf().
