1) Start the PrivateStateThread stopped, and then in
StartPrivateStateThread, make the private state thread and then
resume it before we say the thread is created. That way we know it is
listening for events by the time we get out of
StartPrivateStateThread.
2) Backstop running a thread plan when calling Process::RunThreadPlan
on the private state thread with a ThreadPlanBase so that running the
plan doesn't pass its stop events to whatever plans happen to be above
us on the thread plan stack.

The current ProcessGDBRemote function that updates the threads could end up with an empty list if any other thread had the sequence mutex. We now don't clear the thread list when we can't access it, and we also have changed how lldb_private::Process handles the return code from the:
virtual bool
Process::UpdateThreadList (lldb_private::ThreadList &old_thread_list,
lldb_private::ThreadList &new_thread_list) = 0;
A bool is now returned to indicate if the list was actually updated or not and the lldb_private::Process class will only update the stop ID of the validity of the thread list if "true" is returned.
The ProcessGDBRemote also got an extra assertion that will hopefully assert when running debug builds so we can find the source of this issue.
llvm-svn: 154365
spin up a temporary "private state thread" that will respond to events from the lower level process plugins. This check-in should work to do
that, but it is still buggy. However, if you don't call functions on the private state thread, these changes make no difference.
This patch also moves the code in the AppleObjCRuntime step-through-trampoline handler that might call functions (in the case where the debug
server doesn't support the memory allocate/deallocate packet) out to a safe place to do that call.

This abstracts read/write locks on the current host system. It is currently backed by pthread_rwlock_t objects so it should work on all unix systems.
We also need a way to control multi-threaded access to the process through the public API when it is running. For example it isn't a good idea to try and get stack frames while the process is running. To implement this, the lldb_private::Process class now contains a ReadWriteLock member variable named m_run_lock which is used to control the public process state. The public process state represents the state of the process as the client knows it. The private is used to control the actual current process state. So the public state of the process can be stopped, yet the private state can be running when evaluating an expression for example.
Adding the read/write lock where readers are clients that want the process to stay stopped, and writers are clients that run the process, allows us to accurately control multi-threaded access to the process.
Switched the SBThread and SBFrame over to us shared pointers to the ExecutionContextRef class instead of making their own class to track this. This fixed an issue with assigning on SBFrame to another and will also centralize the code that tracks weak references to execution context objects into one location.
llvm-svn: 154099
Found an issue where we might still have shared pointer references to lldb_private::Thread objects where the object itself is not valid and has been removed from the Process. When a thread is removed from a process, it will call Thread::DestroyThread() which well set a boolean member variable which is exposed now via:
bool
Thread::IsValid() const;
We then check the thread validity before handing out a shared pointer.

Fixed an issue with stepping where the stack frame list could get changed out from underneath you when multiple threads start accessing frame info.

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
A new setting enable-synthetic-value is provided on the target to disable this behavior.
There also is a new GetNonSyntheticValue() API call on SBValue to go back from synthetic to non-synthetic. There is no call to go from non-synthetic to synthetic.
The test suite has been changed accordingly.
Fallout from changes to type searching: an hack has to be played to make it possible to use maps that contain std::string due to the special name replacement operated by clang
Fixing a test case that was using libstdcpp instead of libc++ - caught as a consequence of said changes to type searching
llvm-svn: 153495
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.

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.
llvm-svn: 153104
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

Fixed a case where the source path remappings on the module were too expensive to
use when we try to verify (stat the file system) that the remapped path points to
a valid file. Now we will use the lldb_private::Module path remappings (if any) when
parsing the debug info without verifying that the paths exist so we don't slow down
line table parsing speeds.
llvm-svn: 153059
load notification for the first load) then we will set it the runtime to NULL and won't re-search for it.
Added a way for the dynamic loader to force a re-search, since it knows the world has changed.
llvm-svn: 152453
This takes two important changes:
- Calling blocks is now supported. You need to
cast their return values, but that works fine.
- We now can correctly run JIT-compiled
expressions that use floating-point numbers.
Also, we have taken a fix that allows us to
ignore access control in Objective-C as in C++.
llvm-svn: 152286
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.
llvm-svn: 152244
Fixed STDERR to not be opened as readable. Also cleaned up some of the code that implemented the file actions as some of the code was using the wrong variables, they now use the right ones (in for stdin, out for stdout, err for stderr).
llvm-svn: 152102
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
weak reference back to the Module. We were crashing when trying to make a
memory object file since it was trying to get the object in the Module
constructor before the "Module *" had been put into a shared pointer, and the
module was trying to initialize a weak pointer back to it.
llvm-svn: 151397
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.
llvm-svn: 151336
Objective-C classes. This allows LLDB to find
ivars declared in class extensions in modules other
than where the debugger is currently stopped (we
already supported this when the debugger was
stopped in the same module as the definition).
This involved the following main changes:
- The ObjCLanguageRuntime now knows how to hunt
for the authoritative version of an Objective-C
type. It looks for the symbol indicating a
definition, and then gets the type from the
module containing that symbol.
- ValueObjects now report their type with a
potential override, and the override is set if
the type of the ValueObject is an Objective-C
class or pointer type that is defined somewhere
other than the original reported type. This
means that "frame variable" will always use the
complete type if one is available.
- The ClangASTSource now looks for the complete
type when looking for ivars. This means that
"expr" will always use the complete type if one
is available.
- I added a testcase that verifies that both
"frame variable" and "expr" work.
llvm-svn: 151214
to the __PAGEZERO segment on darwin. The dynamic loader now correctly doesn't
slide __PAGEZERO and it also registers it as an invalid region of memory. This
allows us to not make any memory requests from the local or remote debug session
for any addresses in this region. Stepping performance can improve when uninitialized
local variables that point to locations in __PAGEZERO are attempted to be read
from memory as we won't even make the memory read or write request.

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
internals. The first part of this is to use a new class:
lldb_private::ExecutionContextRef
This class holds onto weak pointers to the target, process, thread and frame
and it also contains the thread ID and frame Stack ID in case the thread and
frame objects go away and come back as new objects that represent the same
logical thread/frame.
ExecutionContextRef objcets have accessors to access shared pointers for
the target, process, thread and frame which might return NULL if the backing
object is no longer available. This allows for references to persistent program
state without needing to hold a shared pointer to each object and potentially
keeping that object around for longer than it needs to be.
You can also "Lock" and ExecutionContextRef (which contains weak pointers)
object into an ExecutionContext (which contains strong, or shared pointers)
with code like
ExecutionContext exe_ctx (my_obj->GetExectionContextRef().Lock());
llvm-svn: 150801
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
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.
