parser. Specifically:
- ClangUserExpression now keeps weak pointers to the
structures it needs and then locks them when needed.
This ensures that they continue to be valid without
leaking memory if the ClangUserExpression is long
lived.
- ClangExpressionDeclMap, instead of keeping a pointer
to an ExecutionContext, now contains an
ExecutionContext. This prevents bugs if the pointer
or its contents somehow become stale. It also no
longer requires that ExecutionContexts be passed
into any function except its initialization function,
since it can count on the ExecutionContext still
being around.
There's a lot of room for improvement (specifically,
ClangExpressionDeclMap should also use weak pointers
insetad of shared pointers) but this is an important
first step that codifies assumptions that already
existed in the code.

information about the current frame rather than
the debug information about "this" and "self"
when determining the types of those pointers.
This allows expressions to work in frames that
don't have valid "this" and "self" pointers,
working around poor debug information.

sufficiently general - it could only handle
literals and operations that didn't change the
data. Now the constant evaluator passes APInt
values around, and can handle GetElementPtr
constants.

LLVM/Clang. This brings in several fixes, including:
- Improvements in the Just-In-Time compiler's
allocation of memory: the JIT now allocates
memory in chunks of sections, improving its
ability to generate relocations. I have
revamped the RecordingMemoryManager to reflect
these changes, as well as to get the memory
allocation and data copying out fo the
ClangExpressionParser code. Jim Grosbach wrote
the updates to the JIT on the LLVM side.
- A new ExternalASTSource interface to allow LLDB to
report accurate structure layout information to
Clang. Previously we could only report the sizes
of fields, not their offsets. This meant that if
data structures included field alignment
directives, we could not communicate the necessary
alignment to Clang and accesses to the data would
fail. Now we can (and I have update the relevant
test case). Thanks to Doug Gregor for implementing
the Clang side of this fix.
- The way Objective-C interfaces are completed by
Clang has been made consistent with RecordDecls;
with help from Doug Gregor and Greg Clayton I have
ensured that this still works.
- I have eliminated all local LLVM and Clang patches,
committing the ones that are still relevant to LLVM
and Clang as needed.
I have tested the changes extensively locally, but
please let me know if they cause any trouble for you.

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).

an error along with its boolean result. The
expression parser reports this error if the
interpreter fails and the expression could not be
run in the target.
llvm-svn: 148870
for each ObjCInterfaceDecl was imposing performance
penalties for Objective-C apps. Instead, we now use
the normal function query mechanisms, which use the
relevant accelerator tables.
This fix also includes some modifications to the
SymbolFile which allow us to find Objective-C methods
and report their Clang Decls correctly.
llvm-svn: 148457
parser was creating malformed resuls. When the
location of a variable is computed by reading a
register and adding an offset, we shouldn't say
that the variable's value is located in that
register. This was confusing the expression
parser when trying to read a variable captured
by a block.
llvm-svn: 147668
Be better at detecting when DWARF changes and handle this more
gracefully than asserting and exiting.
Also fixed up a bunch of system calls that weren't properly checking
for EINTR.
llvm-svn: 147559
Switch from GetReturnValue, which was hardly ever used, to GetReturnValueObject
which is much more convenient.
Return the "return value object" as a persistent variable if requested.
llvm-svn: 147157
parser has hitherto been an implementation waiting
for a use. I have now tied the '-o' option for
the expression command -- which indicates that the
result is an Objective-C object and needs to be
printed -- to the ExpressionParser, which
communicates the desired type to Clang.
Now, if the result of an expression is determined
by an Objective-C method call for which there is
no type information, that result is implicitly
cast to id if and only if the -o option is passed
to the expression command. (Otherwise if there
is no explicit cast Clang will issue an error.
This behavior is identical to what happened before
r146756.)
Also added a testcase for -o enabled and disabled.
llvm-svn: 147099
"id" from being found by the parser as an
externally-defined type. Before, "id" would
sometimes make it through if it was defined in
a namespace, but this sometimes caused
confusion, for example when it conflicted with
std::locale::id.
llvm-svn: 146891
valobj.AddressOf() returns None when an address is expected in a SyntheticChildrenProvider
Patch from Enrico Granata:
The problem was that the frozen object created by the expression parser was a copy of the contents of the StgClosure, rather than a pointer to it. Thus, the expression parser was correctly computing the result of the arithmetic&cast operation along with its address, but only saving it in the live object. This meant that the frozen copy acted as an address-less variable, hence the problem.
The fix attached to this email lets the expression parser store the "live address" in the frozen copy of the address when the object is built without a valid address of its own.
Doing so, along with delegating ValueObjectConstResult to calculate its own address when necessary, solves the issue. I have also added a new test case to check for regressions in this area, and checked that existing test cases pass correctly.
llvm-svn: 146768
we handle Objective-C method calls. Currently,
LLDB treats the result of an Objective-C method
as unknown if the type information doesn't have
the method's signature. Now Clang can cast the
result to id if it isn't explicitly cast.
I also added a test case for this, as well as a
fix for a type import problem that this feature
exposed.
llvm-svn: 146756
the expression parser to locate instances where
dyn_cast<>() and isa<>() are used on types, and
replace them with getAs<>() as appropriate.
The difference is that dyn_cast<>() and isa<>()
are essentially LLVM/Clang's equivalent of RTTI
-- that is, they try to downcast the object and
return NULL if they cannot -- but getAs<>() can
traverse typedefs to perform a semantic cast.
llvm-svn: 146537
validates the "self," "this," and "_cmd" pointers
that get passed into expressions. It used to check
them aggressively for validity before allowing the
expression to run as an object method; now, this
functionality is gated by a bool and off by default.
Now the default is that when LLDB is stopped in a
method of a class, code entered using "expr" will
always masquerade as an instance method. If for
some reason "self," "this," or "_cmd" is unavailable
it will be reported as NULL. This may cause the
expression to crash if it relies on those pointers,
but for example getting the addresses of ivars will
now work as the user would expect.
llvm-svn: 146465
- Even if a frame isn't present, we always try
to use FindGlobalVariable to find variables.
Instead of using frame->TrackGlobalVariable()
to promote the VariableSP into a ValueObject,
we now simply use ValueObjectVariable.
- When requesting the value of a variable, we
allow returning of the "live version" of the
variable -- that is, the variable in the
target instead of a pointer to its freeze
dried version in LLDB -- even if there is no
process present.
llvm-svn: 146315
in the context in which it was originally found, the
expression parser now goes hunting for it in all modules
(in the appropriate namespace, if applicable). This means
that forward-declared types that exist in another shared
library will now be resolved correctly.
Added a test case to cover this. The test case also tests
"frame variable," which does not have this functionality
yet.
llvm-svn: 146204
pointer to make the result of an expression. LLDB now
dumps the ivars of the Objective-C object and all of
its parents. This just required fixing a bug where we
didn't distinguish between Objective-C object pointers
and regular C-style pointers.
Also added a testcase to verify that this continues to
work.
llvm-svn: 146164
symbols. Now we find the correct method.
Unfortunately we don't get the superclass from the
runtime yet so the method doesn't import correctly
(and I added a check to make sure that doesn't hurt
us) but once we get that information right we will
report methods correctly to the parser as well.
Getting superclass information requires a common AST
context for all Objective-C runtime information,
meaning that the superclass and the subclass are in
the same AST context in all cases. That is the next
thing that needs to be done here.
llvm-svn: 146089
from symbols more accessible, I have added a second
map to the ClangASTImporter: the ObjCInterfaceMetaMap.
This map keeps track of all type definitions found for
a particular Objective-C interface, allowing the
ClangASTSource to refer to all possible sources when
looking for method definitions.
There is a bug in lookup that I still need to figure out,
but after that we should be able to report full method
information for Objective-C classes shown in symbols.
Also fixed some errors I ran into when enabling the maps
for the persistent type store. The persistent type store
previously did not use the ClangASTImporter to import
types, instead using ASTImporters that got allocated each
time a type needed copying. To support the requirements
of the persistent type store -- namely, that types must be
copied, completed, and then completely severed from their
origin in the parser's AST context (which will go away) --
I added a new function called DeportType which severs all
these connections.
llvm-svn: 145914
add them to a fast lookup map. lldb_private::Symtab now export the following
public typedefs:
namespace lldb_private {
class Symtab {
typedef std::vector<uint32_t> IndexCollection;
typedef UniqueCStringMap<uint32_t> NameToIndexMap;
};
}
Clients can then find symbols by name and or type and end up with a
Symtab::IndexCollection that is filled with indexes. These indexes can then
be put into a name to index lookup map and control if the mangled and
demangled names get added to the map:
bool add_demangled = true;
bool add_mangled = true;
Symtab::NameToIndexMap name_to_index;
symtab->AppendSymbolNamesToMap (indexes, add_demangled, add_mangled, name_to_index).
This can be repeated as many times as needed to get a lookup table that
you are happy with, and then this can be sorted:
name_to_index.Sort();
Now name lookups can be done using a subset of the symbols you extracted from
the symbol table. This is currently being used to extract objective C types
from object files when there is no debug info in SymbolFileSymtab.
Cleaned up how the objective C types were being vended to be more efficient
and fixed some errors in the regular expression that was being used.
llvm-svn: 145777
object file can correctly make these symbols which will abstract us from the
file format and ABI and we can then ask for the objective C class symbol for
a class and find out which object file it was defined in.
llvm-svn: 145744
in the face of failures to import types, since blithely
passing on NULL types can sometimes lead to trouble.
Also eliminated a use of getAs and replaced it with
dyn_cast, which is more robust.
llvm-svn: 145628
enhancements. With these enhancements, the return values
of Objective-C methods with unknown return types can be
implicitly cast to id for the purpose of making method
calls.
So what would have required this:
(int)[(id)[ClassWithNoDebugInfo methodReturningObject] methodReturningInt]
can now be written as:
(int)[[ClassWithNoDebugInfo methodReturningObject] methodReturningInt]
llvm-svn: 145567
robust:
- Now a client can specify what kind of symbols
are needed; notably, this allows looking up
Objective-C class symbols specifically.
- In the class of symbols being looked up, if
one is non-NULL and others are NULL, LLDB now
prefers the non-NULL one.
llvm-svn: 145554
ClangASTSource::~ClangASTSource() was calling
ClangASTContext *scratch_clang_ast_context = m_target->GetScratchClangASTContext();
which had the side effect of deleting this very ClangASTSource instance. Not good.
Change it to
// We are in the process of destruction, don't create clang ast context on demand
// by passing false to Target::GetScratchClangASTContext(create_on_demand).
ClangASTContext *scratch_clang_ast_context = m_target->GetScratchClangASTContext(false);
The Target::GetScratchClangASTContext(bool create_on_demand=true) has a new signature.
llvm-svn: 145537
to find Objective-C class types by looking in the
symbol tables for the individual object files.
I did this as follows:
- I added code to SymbolFileSymtab that vends
Clang types for symbols matching the pattern
"_OBJC_CLASS_$_NSMyClassName," making them
appear as Objective-C classes. This only occurs
in modules that do not have debug information,
since otherwise SymbolFileDWARF would be in
charge of looking up types.
- I made a new SymbolVendor subclass for the
Apple Objective-C runtime that is in charge of
making global lookups of Objective-C types. It
currently just sends out type lookup requests to
the appropriate SymbolFiles, but in the future we
will probably extend it to query the runtime more
completely.
I also modified a testcase whose behavior is changed
by the fact that we now actually return an Objective-C
type for __NSCFString.

management of what allocations remain after an
expression finishes executing. This saves around

several patches. These patches fix a problem
where templated types were not being completed the
first time they were used, and fix a variety of
minor issues I discovered while fixing that problem.
One of the previous local patches was resolved in
the most recent Clang, so I removed it. The others
will be removed in due course.
llvm-svn: 144984
to allow variables in the persistent variable store to know
how to complete themselves from debug information. That
fixes a variety of bugs during dematerialization of
expression results and also makes persistent variable and
result variables ($foo, $4, ...) more useful.
I have also added logging improvements that make it much
easier to figure out how types are moving from place to
place, and made some checking a little more aggressive.
The commit includes patches to Clang which are currently being
integrated into Clang proper; once these fixes are in Clang
top-of-tree, these patches will be removed. The patches don't
fix API; rather, they fix some internal bugs in Clang's
ASTImporter that were exposed when LLDB was moving types from
place to place multiple times.
