Cleaned up the Mutex::Locker and the ReadWriteLock classes a bit.
Also cleaned up the GDBRemoteCommunication class to not have so many packet functions. Used the "NoLock" versions of send/receive packet functions when possible for a bit of performance.

Work around a deadlocking issue where "SBDebugger::MemoryPressureDetected ()" is being called and is causing a deadlock. We now just try and get the lock when trying to trim down the unique modules so we don't deadlock debugger GUI programs until we can find the root cause.

Symbol files (dSYM files on darwin) can now be specified during program execution:
(lldb) target symbols add /path/to/symfile/a.out.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/a.out
This command can be used when you have a debug session in progress and want to add symbols to get better debug info fidelity.
llvm-svn: 153693
indicates that the section is thread specific. Any functions the load a module
given a slide, will currently ignore any sections that are thread specific.
lldb_private::Section now has:
bool
Section::IsThreadSpecific () const
{
return m_thread_specific;
}
void
Section::SetIsThreadSpecific (bool b)
{
m_thread_specific = b;
}
The ELF plug-in has been modified to set this for the ".tdata" and the ".tbss"
sections.
Eventually we need to have each lldb_private::Thread subclass be able to
resolve a thread specific section, but for now they will just not resolve. The
code for that should be trivual to add, but the address resolving functions
will need to be changed to take a "ExecutionContext" object instead of just
a target so that thread specific sections can be resolved.
llvm-svn: 153537
Fixed type lookups to "do the right thing". Prior to this fix, looking up a type using "foo::bar" would result in a type list that contains all types that had "bar" as a basename unless the symbol file was able to match fully qualified names (which our DWARF parser does not).
This fix will allow type matches to be made based on the basename and then have the types that don't match filtered out. Types by name can be fully qualified, or partially qualified with the new "bool exact_match" parameter to the Module::FindTypes() method.
This fixes some issue that we discovered with dynamic type resolution as well as improves the overall type lookups in LLDB.

This is the feature that allowed the user to have things like:
class Base { ... };
class Derived : public Base { ... };
and have formatters defined for Base work automatically for Derived.
This feature turned out to be too expensive since it requires completing types.
This patch takes care of removing cascading (other than typedefs chain cascading), updating the test suite accordingly, and adding required Cocoa class names to keep the AppKit formatters working

Each platform now knows if it can handle an architecture and a platform can be found using an architecture. Each platform can look at the arch, vendor and OS and know if it should be used or not.

Changes to synthetic children:
- the update(self): function can now (optionally) return a value - if it returns boolean value True, ValueObjectSyntheticFilter will not clear its caches across stop-points
this should allow better performance for Python-based synthetic children when one can be sure that the child ValueObjects have not changed
- making a difference between a synthetic VO and a VO with a synthetic value: now a ValueObjectSyntheticFilter will not return itself as its own synthetic value, but will (correctly)
claim to itself be synthetic
- cleared up the internal synthetic children architecture to make a more consistent use of pointers and references instead of shared pointers when possible
- major cleanup of unnecessary #include, data and functions in ValueObjectSyntheticFilter itself
- removed the SyntheticValueType enum and replaced it with a plain boolean (to which it was equivalent in the first place)
Some clean ups to the summary generation code
Centralized the code that clears out user-visible strings and data in ValueObject
More efficient summaries for libc++ containers
llvm-svn: 153061
This fix really needed to happen as a previous fix I had submitted for
calculating symbol sizes made many symbols appear to have zero size since
the function that was calculating the symbol size was calling another function
that would cause the calculation to happen again. This resulted in some symbols
having zero size when they shouldn't. This could then cause infinite stack
traces and many other side affects.

lldb crashes under guard malloc
Fix CommandObjectSettingsAppend::ExecuteRawCommandString() so that it does not perform the cmd_args.Shift()
operation after it has got the var_name out of the raw string, since StringRef is manipulating the raw

2) providing an updated list of tagged pointers values for the objc_runtime module - hopefully this one is final
3) changing ValueObject::DumpValueObject to use an Options class instead of providing a bulky list of parameters to pass around
this change had been laid out previously, but some clients of DumpValueObject() were still using the old prototype and some arguments
were treated in a special way and passed in directly instead of through the Options class
4) providing new GetSummaryAsCString() and GetValueAsCString() calls in ValueObject that are passed a formatter object and a destination string
and fill the string by formatting themselves using the formatter argument instead of the default for the current ValueObject
5) removing the option to have formats and summaries stick to a variable for the current stoppoint
after some debate, we are going with non-sticky: if you say frame variable --format hex foo, the hex format will only be applied to the current command execution and not stick when redisplaying foo
the other option would be full stickiness, which means that foo would be formatted as hex for its whole lifetime
we are open to suggestions on what feels "natural" in this regard

more of the local path, platform path, associated symbol file, UUID, arch,
object name and object offset. This allows many of the calls that were
GetSharedModule to reduce the number of arguments that were used in a call
to these functions. It also allows a module to be created with a ModuleSpec
which allows many things to be specified prior to any accessors being called
on the Module class itself.
I was running into problems when adding support for "target symbol add"
where you can specify a stand alone debug info file after debugging has started
where I needed to specify the associated symbol file path and if I waited until
after construction, the wrong symbol file had already been located. By using
the ModuleSpec it allows us to construct a module with as little or as much
information as needed and not have to change the parameter list.
llvm-svn: 151476
I started work on being able to add symbol files after a debug session
had started with a new "target symfile add" command and quickly ran into
problems with stale Address objects in breakpoint locations that had
lldb_private::Section pointers into modules that had been removed or
replaced. This also let to grabbing stale modules from those sections.
So I needed to thread harded the Address, Section and related objects.
To do this I modified the ModuleChild class to now require a ModuleSP
on initialization so that a weak reference can created. I also changed
all places that were handing out "Section *" to have them hand out SectionSP.
All ObjectFile, SymbolFile and SymbolVendors were inheriting from ModuleChild
so all of the find plug-in, static creation function and constructors now
require ModuleSP references instead of Module *.
Address objects now have weak references to their sections which can
safely go stale when a module gets destructed.
This checkin doesn't complete the "target symfile add" command, but it
does get us a lot clioser to being able to do such things without a high
risk of crashing or memory corruption.

objects for the backlink to the lldb_private::Process. The issues we were
running into before was someone was holding onto a shared pointer to a
lldb_private::Thread for too long, and the lldb_private::Process parent object
would get destroyed and the lldb_private::Thread had a "Process &m_process"
member which would just treat whatever memory that used to be a Process as a
valid Process. This was mostly happening for lldb_private::StackFrame objects
that had a member like "Thread &m_thread". So this completes the internal
strong/weak changes.
Documented the ExecutionContext and ExecutionContextRef classes so that our
LLDB developers can understand when and where to use ExecutionContext and
ExecutionContextRef objects.
llvm-svn: 151009
the lldb_private::StackFrame objects hold onto a weak pointer to the thread
object. The lldb_private::StackFrame objects the the most volatile objects
we have as when we are doing single stepping, frames can often get lost or
thrown away, only to be re-created as another object that still refers to the
same frame. We have another bug tracking that. But we need to be able to
have frames no longer be able to get the thread when they are not part of
a thread anymore, and this is the first step (this fix makes that possible
but doesn't implement it yet).
Also changed lldb_private::ExecutionContextScope to return shared pointers to
all objects in the execution context to further thread harden the internals.
llvm-svn: 150871
New public API for handling formatters: creating, deleting, modifying categories, and formatters, and managing type/formatter association.
This provides SB classes for each of the main object types involved in providing formatter support:
SBTypeCategory
SBTypeFilter
SBTypeFormat
SBTypeSummary
SBTypeSynthetic
plus, an SBTypeNameSpecifier class that is used on the public API layer to abstract the notion that formatters can be applied to plain type-names as well as to regular expressions
For naming consistency, this patch also renames a lot of formatters-related classes.
Plus, the changes in how flags are handled that started with summaries is now extended to other classes as well. A new enum (lldb::eTypeOption) is meant to support this on the public side.
The patch also adds several new calls to the formatter infrastructure that are used to implement by-index accessing and several other design changes required to accommodate the new API layer.
An architectural change is introduced in that backing objects for formatters now become writable. On the public API layer, CoW is implemented to prevent unwanted propagation of changes.
Lastly, there are some modifications in how the "default" category is constructed and managed in relation to other categories.
llvm-svn: 150558
Tracking modules down when you have a UUID and a path has been improved.
DynamicLoaderDarwinKernel no longer parses mach-o load commands and it
now uses the memory based modules now that we can load modules from memory.
Added a target setting named "target.exec-search-paths" which can be used
to supply a list of directories to use when trying to look for executables.
This allows one or more directories to be used when searching for modules
that may not exist in the SDK/PDK. The target automatically adds the directory
for the main executable to this list so this should help us in tracking down
shared libraries and other binaries.
llvm-svn: 150426
"target modules lookup" also work with the
"--function" option, so you can search for
functions that aren't inlined. This is the
same query that the expression parser makes, so
it's good for diagnosing situations where the
expression parser doesn't find a function you
think should be there.
llvm-svn: 150289
indicate whether inline functions are desired.
This allows the expression parser, for instance,
to filter out inlined functions when looking for
functions it can call.
llvm-svn: 150279
user space programs. The core file support is implemented by making a process
plug-in that will dress up the threads and stack frames by using the core file
memory.
Added many default implementations for the lldb_private::Process functions so
that plug-ins like the ProcessMachCore don't need to override many many
functions only to have to return an error.
Added new virtual functions to the ObjectFile class for extracting the frozen
thread states that might be stored in object files. The default implementations
return no thread information, but any platforms that support core files that
contain frozen thread states (like mach-o) can make a module using the core
file and then extract the information. The object files can enumerate the
threads and also provide the register state for each thread. Since each object
file knows how the thread registers are stored, they are responsible for
creating a suitable register context that can be used by the core file threads.
Changed the process CreateInstace callbacks to return a shared pointer and
to also take an "const FileSpec *core_file" parameter to allow for core file
support. This will also allow for lldb_private::Process subclasses to be made
that could load crash logs. This should be possible on darwin where the crash
logs contain all of the stack frames for all of the threads, yet the crash
logs only contain the registers for the crashed thrad. It should also allow
some variables to be viewed for the thread that crashed.
llvm-svn: 150154
with subcommand 'expression' and 'variable'. The first subcommand is for supplying an expression to
be evaluated into an address to watch for, while the second is for watching a variable.
'watchpoint set expression' is a raw command, which means that you need to use the "--" option terminator
to end the '-w' or '-x' option processing and to start typing your expression.
Also update several test cases to comply and add a couple of test cases into TestCompletion.py,
in particular, test that 'watchpoint set ex' completes to 'watchpoint set expression ' and that
'watchpoint set var' completes to 'watchpoint set variable '.
llvm-svn: 150109
the '-e' option (for watching of an address) to be present.
Update some existing test cases with the required option and add some more test cases.
Since the '-v' option takes <variable-name> and the '-e' option takes <expr> as the command arg,
the existing infrastructure for generating the option usage can produce confusing help message,
like:
watchpoint set -e [-w <watch-type>] [-x <byte-size>] <variable-name | expr>
watchpoint set -v [-w <watch-type>] [-x <byte-size>] <variable-name | expr>
The solution adopted is to provide an extra member field to the struct CommandArgumentData called
(uint32_t)arg_opt_set_association, whose purpose is to link this particular argument data with some
option set(s). Also modify the signature of CommandObject::GetFormattedCommandArguments() to:
GetFormattedCommandArguments (Stream &str, uint32_t opt_set_mask = LLDB_OPT_SET_ALL)
it now takes an additional opt_set_mask which can be used to generate a filtered formatted command
args for help message.
Options::GenerateOptionUsage() impl is modified to call the GetFormattedCommandArguments() appropriately.
So that the help message now looks like:
watchpoint set -e [-w <watch-type>] [-x <byte-size>] <expr>
watchpoint set -v [-w <watch-type>] [-x <byte-size>] <variable-name>

Fixed "target modules list" (aliased to "image list") to output more information
by default. Modified the "target modules list" to have a few new options:
"--header" or "-h" => show the image header address
"--offset" or "-o" => show the image header address offset from the address in the file (the slide applied to the shared library)
Removed the "--symfile-basename" or "-S" option, and repurposed it to
"--symfile-unique" "-S" which will show the symbol file if it differs from
the executable file.
ObjectFile's can now be loaded from memory for cases where we don't have the
files cached locally in an SDK or net mounted root. ObjectFileMachO can now
read mach files from memory.
Moved the section data reading code into the ObjectFile so that the object
file can get the section data from Process memory if the file is only in
memory.
lldb_private::Module can now load its object file in a target with a rigid
slide (very common operation for most dynamic linkers) by using:
bool
Module::SetLoadAddress (Target &target, lldb::addr_t offset, bool &changed)
lldb::SBModule() now has a new constructor in the public interface:
SBModule::SBModule (lldb::SBProcess &process, lldb::addr_t header_addr);
This will find an appropriate ObjectFile plug-in to load an image from memory
where the object file header is at "header_addr".
llvm-svn: 149804
When used in conjunction with --inline-children, this option will cause the names of the values to be omitted from the output. This can be beneficial in cases such as vFloat, where it will compact the representation from
([0]=1,[1]=2,[2]=3,[3]=4) to (1, 2, 3, 4).
Added a test case to check that the new option works correctly.
Also took some time to revisit SummaryFormat and related classes and tweak them for added readability and maintainability.
Finally, added a new class name to which the std::string summary should be applied.
llvm-svn: 149644
Also add test cases for watching a variable as well as a location expressed as an expression.
o TestMyFirstWatchpoint.py:
Modified to test "watchpoint set -w write global".
o TestWatchLocationWithWatchSet.py:
Added to test "watchpoint set -w write -x 1 g_char_ptr + 7" where a contrived example program
with several threads is supposed to only access the array index within the range [0..6], but
there's some misbehaving thread writing past the range.

due to RTTI worries since llvm and clang don't use RTTI, but I was able to
switch back with no issues as far as I can tell. Once the RTTI issue wasn't
an issue, we were looking for a way to properly track weak pointers to objects
to solve some of the threading issues we have been running into which naturally
led us back to std::tr1::weak_ptr. We also wanted the ability to make a shared
pointer from just a pointer, which is also easily solved using the
std::tr1::enable_shared_from_this class.
The main reason for this move back is so we can start properly having weak
references to objects. Currently a lldb_private::Thread class has a refrence
to its parent lldb_private::Process. This doesn't work well when we now hand
out a SBThread object that contains a shared pointer to a lldb_private::Thread
as this SBThread can be held onto by external clients and if they end up
using one of these objects we can easily crash.
So the next task is to start adopting std::tr1::weak_ptr where ever it makes
sense which we can do with lldb_private::Debugger, lldb_private::Target,
lldb_private::Process, lldb_private::Thread, lldb_private::StackFrame, and
many more objects now that they are no longer using intrusive ref counted
pointer objects (you can't do std::tr1::weak_ptr functionality with intrusive
pointers).

ExecutionContext objects have shared pointers to Target, Process, Thread
and Frame objects and they can end up being held onto for too long.
