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

same as the old "connect://<host>:<port>". Also added the ability to
connect using "udp://<host>:<port>" which will open a connected
datagram socket. I need to find a way to specify a non connected
datagram socket as well.
We might need to start setting some settings in the URL itself,
maybe something like:
udp://<host>:<port>?connected=yes
udp://<host>:<port>?connected=no
I am open to suggestions for URL settings.
Also did more work on the KDP darwin kernel plug-in.

- 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
The reasom of the crash is because of a missing entry in the argument table corresponding to eArgTypeUnsignedInteger.
Add such entry and modify the call site of the crash to go through a fail-fast API to retrieve the argument table.
Add a regression test to TestHelp.py.
llvm-svn: 135206
- formats %s %char[] %c and %a now work to print 0-terminated c-strings if they are applied to a char* or char[] even without the [] operator (e.g. ${var%s})
- array formats (char[], intN[], ..) now work when applied to an array of a scalar type even without the [] operator (e.g. ${var%int32_t[]})
LLDB will not crash because of endless loop when trying to obtain a summary for an object that has no value and references itself in its summary string
In many cases, a wrong summary string will now display an "<error>" message instead of giving out an empty string
llvm-svn: 135007
by name by adding an extra parameter to the lldb_private::Target breakpoint
setting functions.
Added a function in the DWARF symbol file plug-in that can dump errors
and prints out which DWARF file the error is happening in so we can track
down what used to be assertions easily.
Fixed the MacOSX kernel plug-in to properly read the kext images and set
the kext breakpoint to watch for kexts as they are loaded.
llvm-svn: 134990
Also made:
(lldb) !<NUM>
(lldb) !-<NUM>
(lldb) !!
work with the history. For added benefit:
(lldb) !<NUM><TAB>
will insert the command at position <NUM> in the history into the command line to be edited.
This is only partial, I still need to sync up editline's history list with the one kept by the interpreter.
llvm-svn: 134955
- a new --name option for "type summary add" lets you give a name to a summary
- a new --summary option for "frame variable" lets you bind a named summary to one or more variables
${var%s} now works for printing the value of 0-terminated CStrings
type format test case now tests for cascading
- this is disabled on GCC because GCC may end up stripping typedef chains, basically breaking cascading
new design for the FormatNavigator class
new template class CleanUp2 meant to support cleanup routines with 1 additional parameter beyond resource handle
llvm-svn: 134943
with the "target modules lookup --address <addr>" command. The variable
ID's, names, types, location for the address, and declaration is
displayed.
This can really help with crash logs since we get, on MacOSX at least,
the registers for the thread that crashed so it is often possible to
figure out some of the variable contents.
llvm-svn: 134886
use lldb_private::Target::ReadMemory(...) to allow constant strings
to be displayed in global variables prior on in between process
execution.
Centralized the variable declaration dumping into:
bool
Variable::DumpDeclaration (Stream *s, bool show_fullpaths, bool show_module);
Fixed an issue if you used "target variable --regex <regex>" where the
variable name would not be displayed, but the regular expression would.
Fixed an issue when viewing global variables through "target variable"
might not display correctly when doing DWARF in object files.
llvm-svn: 134878
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
breakpoint. I haven't been able to see this breakpoint get hit yet
so I still have testing I need to do with the kernel dynamic loader.
llvm-svn: 134825
variable where we were using a static cast when we shouldn't have been.
Fixed another array related issue where we weren't looking through a typedef.
llvm-svn: 134823
shared library, etc) and strata (user/kernel) from an object file. This will
help with plug-in and platform selection when given a new binary with the
"target create <file>" command.
llvm-svn: 134779
loaded. It locks onto *-apple-darwin binaries where the binary has
a "__KLD" segment. Soon I will modify the lldb_private::ObjectFile
class to return an executable type which will be an enum with values
something like:
eObjectFileTypeUserExectable,
eObjectFileTypeUserSharedLibrary,
eObjectFileTypeKernelExectable,
eObjectFileTypeKernelSharedLibrary,
eObjectFileTypeObjectFile,
eObjectFileTypeCoreFile
But for now we look at the section since a user and kernel mach-o
executable have the same mach-o file type.
llvm-svn: 134682
new GetValueForExpressionPath() method in ValueObject to navigate expression paths in a more bitfield vs slices aware way
changes to the varformats.html document (WIP)
llvm-svn: 134679
pointers. Some of the spots are obviously initialized
later, but it's better just to NULL the pointers out
at initialization to make the code more robust when
exposed to later changes.
llvm-svn: 134670
searching for variables and symbols in the target
more robust. These checks prevent variables from
being reported as existing if they cannot actually
be evaluated in the current context.
llvm-svn: 134656
group class: OptionGroupVariable. It gets initialized with
a boolean that indicates if the frame specific options are
included so that this can be used in both the "frame variable"
and "target variable" commands.
Removed the global functionality from the "frame variable"
command. Users should switch to using the "target variable"
command.
llvm-svn: 134594
variables prior to running your binary. Zero filled sections now get
section data correctly filled with zeroes when Target::ReadMemory
reads from the object file section data.
Added new option groups and option values for file lists. I still need
to hook up all of the options to "target variable" to allow more complete
introspection by file and shlib.
Added the ability for ValueObjectVariable objects to be created with
only the target as the execution context. This allows them to be read
from the object files through Target::ReadMemory(...).
Added a "virtual Module * GetModule()" function to the ValueObject
class. By default it will look to the parent variable object and
return its module. The module is needed when we have global variables
that have file addresses (virtual addresses that are specific to
module object files) and in turn allows global variables to be displayed
prior to running.
Removed all of the unused proxy object support that bit rotted in
lldb_private::Value.
Replaced a lot of places that used "FileSpec::Compare (lhs, rhs) == 0" code
with the more efficient "FileSpec::Equal (lhs, rhs)".
Improved logging in GDB remote plug-in.
llvm-svn: 134579
objective C or C++ methods when "self" or "this" were in scope, but had
invalid locations in a DWARF location list. The lack of a valid value caused
us to use an invalid type value and then we tried to import that invalid
value and we would crash.
llvm-svn: 134518
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
- ${*expr} now simply means to dereference expr before actually using it
- bitfields, array ranges and pointer ranges now work in a (hopefully) more natural and language-compliant way
a new class TypeHierarchyNavigator replicates the behavior of the FormatManager in going through type hierarchies
when one-lining summary strings, children's summaries can be used as well as values
llvm-svn: 134458
a file or socket. We now make a getsockopt call to check if the fd is a socket.
Also, the previous logic in the GDB communication needs to watch for success
with an error so we can deal with EAGAIN and other normal "retry" error codes.
llvm-svn: 134359
_only_ in the resulting stream, not in the error objects (lldb_private::Error).
lldb_private::Error objects should always just have an error string with no
terminating newline characters or periods.
Fixed an issue with GDB remote packet detection that could end up deadlocking
if a full packet wasn't received in one chunk. Also modified the packet
checking function to properly toss one or more bytes when it detects bad
data.
llvm-svn: 134357
- type names can now be regular expressions (exact matching is done first, and is faster)
- integral (and floating) types can be printed as bitfields, i.e. ${var[low-high]} will extract bits low thru high of the value and print them
- array subscripts are supported, both for arrays and for pointers. the syntax is ${*var[low-high]}, or ${*var[]} to print the whole array (the latter only works for statically sized arrays)
- summary is now printed by default when a summary string references a variable. if that variable's type has no summary, value is printed instead. to force value, you can use %V as a format specifier
- basic support for ObjectiveC:
- ObjectiveC inheritance chains are now walked through
- %@ can be specified as a summary format, to print the ObjectiveC runtime description for an object
- some bug fixes
