expressions. Previously, ClangUserExpression assumed that if there was a constant result for an expression then it could be determined during parsing. In particular, the IRInterpreter ran while parser state (in particular, ClangExpressionDeclMap) was present. This approach is flawed, because the IRInterpreter actually is capable of using external variables, and hence the result might be different each run. Until now, we papered over this flaw by re-parsing the expression each time we ran it. I have rewritten the IRInterpreter to be completely independent of the ClangExpressionDeclMap. Instead of special-casing external variable lookup, which ties the IRInterpreter closely to LLDB, we now interpret the exact same IR that the JIT would see. This IR assumes that materialization has occurred; hence the recent implementation of the Materializer, which does not require parser state (in the form of ClangExpressionDeclMap) to be present. Materialization, interpretation, and dematerialization are now all independent of parsing. This means that in theory we can parse expressions once and run them many times. I have three outstanding tasks before shutting this down: - First, I will ensure that all of this works with core files. Core files have a Process but do not allow allocating memory, which currently confuses materialization. - Second, I will make expression breakpoint conditions remember their ClangUserExpression and re-use it. - Third, I will tear out all the redundant code (for example, materialization logic in ClangExpressionDeclMap) that is no longer used. While implementing this fix, I also found a bug in IRForTarget's handling of floating-point constants. This should be fixed. llvm-svn: 179801 |
