symbolication. Also improved the SBInstruction API to allow
access to the instruction opcode name, mnemonics, comment and
instruction data.
Added the ability to edit SBLineEntry objects (change the file,
line and column), and also allow SBSymbolContext objects to be
modified (set module, comp unit, function, block, line entry
or symbol).
The SymbolContext and SBSymbolContext can now generate inlined
call stack infomration for symbolication much easier using the
SymbolContext::GetParentInlinedFrameInfo(...) and
SBSymbolContext::GetParentInlinedFrameInfo(...) methods.

- New SBSection objects that are object file sections which can be accessed
through the SBModule classes. You can get the number of sections, get a
section at index, and find a section by name.
- SBSections can contain subsections (first find "__TEXT" on darwin, then
us the resulting SBSection to find "__text" sub section).
- Set load addresses for a SBSection in the SBTarget interface
- Set the load addresses of all SBSection in a SBModule in the SBTarget interface
- Add a new module the an existing target in the SBTarget interface
- Get a SBSection from a SBAddress object
This should get us a lot closer to being able to symbolicate using LLDB through
the public API.

etc to specific source files.
Added SB API's to specify these source files & also more than one module.
Added an "exact" option to CompileUnit's FindLineEntry API.
llvm-svn: 140362
shared pointers.
Changed the ExecutionContext over to use shared pointers for
the target, process, thread and frame since these objects can
easily go away at any time and any object that was holding onto
an ExecutionContext was running the risk of using a bad object.
Now that the shared pointers for target, process, thread and
frame are just a single pointer (they all use the instrusive
shared pointers) the execution context is much safer and still
the same size.
Made the shared pointers in the the ExecutionContext class protected
and made accessors for all of the various ways to get at the pointers,
references, and shared pointers.
llvm-svn: 140298
a file when the target has a triple with an unknown vendor and/or OS and the
slice of the file itself has a valid vendor and/or OS.
The Module now adopts the ObjectFile's architecture after a valid architecture
has been loaded to make sure the module matches the object file.
llvm-svn: 140236
Fix the RegularExpression class so it has a real copy constructor.
Fix the breakpoint setting with multiple shared libraries so it makes
one breakpoint not one per shared library.
Add SBFileSpecList, to be used to expose the above to the SB interface (not done yet.)
llvm-svn: 140225
stdarg formats to use __attribute__ format so the compiler can flag
incorrect uses. Fix all incorrect uses. Most of these are innocuous,
a few were resulting in crashes.
llvm-svn: 140185
__attribute__ format so the compiler knows that this method takes
printf style formatter arguments and checks that it's being used
correctly. Fix a couple dozen incorrect SetErrorStringWithFormat()
calls throughout the sources.
llvm-svn: 140115
used to do this because we needed to find the shared pointer for a .o
file when the .o file's module was needed in a SymbolContext since the
module in a symbol context was a shared pointer. Now that we are using
intrusive pointers we don't have this limitation anymore since any
instrusive shared pointer can be made from a pointer to an object
all on its own.
Also switched over to having the Module and SymbolVendor use shared
pointers to their object files as had a leak on MacOSX when the
SymbolVendor's object file wasn't the same as the Module's (debug info
in a stand along file (dSYM file)). Now everything will correctly clean
itself up when the module goes away after an executable gets rebuilt.
Now we correctly get rid of .o files that are used with the DWARF with
debug map executables on subsequent runs since the only shared pointer
to the object files in from the DWARF symbol file debug map parser, and
when the module gets replaced, it destroys to old one along with all .o
files.
Also added a small optimization when using BSD archives where we will
remove old BSD containers from the shared list when they are outdated.
llvm-svn: 140002
ModuleSP
Module::GetSP();
Since we are now using intrusive ref counts, we can easily turn any
pointer to a module into a shared pointer just by assigning it.
llvm-svn: 139984
We had some cases where getting the shared pointer for a module from
the global module list was causing a performance issue when debugging
with DWARF in .o files. Now that the module uses intrusive ref counts,
we can easily convert any pointer to a shared pointer.
llvm-svn: 139983
Set the default Source File & line to main (if it can be found.) at startup. Selecting the current thread & or frame resets
the current source file & line, and "source list" as well as the breakpoint command "break set -l <NUM>" will use the
current source file.
llvm-svn: 139323
Reduced the amount of memory required to avoid loops in DumpPrintableRepresentation() from 32 bits down to 1 bit
- Additionally, disallowed creating summary strings of the form ${var%S} which did nothing but cause endless loops by definition
llvm-svn: 139201
- introduced two new classes ValueObjectConstResultChild and ValueObjectConstResultImpl: the first one is a ValueObjectChild obtained from
a ValueObjectConstResult, the second is a common implementation backend for VOCR and VOCRCh of method calls meant to read through pointers stored
in frozen objects ; now such reads transparently move from host to target as required
- as a consequence of the above, removed code that made target-memory copies of expression results in several places throughout LLDB, and also
removed code that enabled to recognize an expression result VO as such
- introduced a new GetPointeeData() method in ValueObject that lets you read a given amount of objects of type T from a VO
representing a T* or T[], and doing dereferences transparently
in private layer it returns a DataExtractor ; in public layer it returns an instance of a newly created lldb::SBData
- as GetPointeeData() does the right thing for both frozen and non-frozen ValueObject's, reimplemented ReadPointedString() to use it
en lieu of doing the raw read itself
- introduced a new GetData() method in ValueObject that lets you get a copy of the data that backs the ValueObject (for pointers,
this returns the address without any previous dereferencing steps ; for arrays it actually reads the whole chunk of memory)
in public layer this returns an SBData, just like GetPointeeData()
- introduced a new CreateValueFromData() method in SBValue that lets you create a new SBValue from a chunk of data wrapped in an SBData
the limitation to remember for this kind of SBValue is that they have no address: extracting the address-of for these objects (with any
of GetAddress(), GetLoadAddress() and AddressOf()) will return invalid values
- added several tests to check that "p"-ing objects (STL classes, char* and char[]) will do the right thing
Solved a bug where global pointers to global variables were not dereferenced correctly for display
New target setting "max-string-summary-length" gives the maximum number of characters to show in a string when summarizing it, instead of the hardcoded 128
Solved a bug where the summary for char[] and char* would not be shown if the ValueObject's were dumped via the "p" command
Removed m_pointers_point_to_load_addrs from ValueObject. Introduced a new m_address_type_of_children, which each ValueObject can set to tell the address type
of any pointers and/or references it creates. In the current codebase, this is load address most of the time (the only notable exception being file
addresses that generate file address children UNLESS we have a live process)
Updated help text for summary-string
Fixed an issue in STL formatters where std::stlcontainer::iterator would match the container's synthetic children providers
Edited the syntax and help for some commands to have proper argument types
llvm-svn: 139160
register names when dumping variable locations and location lists. Also did
some cleanup where "int" types were being used for "lldb::RegisterKind"
values.
llvm-svn: 138988
Renamed format "signed decimal" to be "decimal". "unsigned decimal" remains unchanged:
- the name "signed decimal" was interfering with symbol %S (use summary) in summary strings.
because of the way summary strings are implemented, this did not really lead to a bug, but
simply to performing more steps than necessary to display a summary. this is fixed.
Documentation improvements (more on synthetic children, some information on filters). This is still a WIP.
llvm-svn: 138384
- FormatCategories now are directly mapped by ConstString objects instead of going through
const char* -> ConstString -> const char*
- FormatCategory callback does not pass category name anymore. This is not necessary because
FormatCategory objects themselves hold their name as a member variable
llvm-svn: 138254
If you have a Python module foo, in order to use its contained objects in LLDB you do not need to use
'from foo import *'. You can use 'import foo', and then refer to items in foo as 'foo.bar', and LLDB
will know how to resolve bar as a member of foo.
Accordingly, GNU libstdc++ formatters have been moved from the global namespace to gnu_libstdcpp and a few
test cases are also updated to reflect the new convention. Python docs suggest using a plain 'import' en lieu of
'from-import'.
llvm-svn: 138244
plug-ins are add on plug-ins for the lldb_private::Process class that can add
thread contexts that are read from memory. It is common in kernels to have
a lot of threads that are not currently executing on any cores (JTAG debugging
also follows this sort of thing) and are context switched out whose state is
stored in memory data structures. Clients can now subclass the OperatingSystem
plug-ins and then make sure their Create functions correcltly only enable
themselves when the right binary/target triple are being debugged. The
operating system plug-ins get a chance to attach themselves to processes just
after launching or attaching and are given a lldb_private::Process object
pointer which can be inspected to see if the main executable, target triple,
or any shared libraries match a case where the OS plug-in should be used.
Currently the OS plug-ins can create new threads, define the register contexts
for these threads (which can all be different if desired), and populate and
manage the thread info (stop reason, registers in the register context) as
the debug session goes on.
llvm-svn: 138228
e.g. you may get "foo_class @ 0x123456" when typing "type summary add -f ${var} foo_class"
- Added a new special formatting token %T for summaries. This shows the type of the object.
Using it, the new "type @ location" summary could be manually generated by writing ${var%T} @ ${var%L}
- Bits and pieces required to support "frame variable array[n-m]"
The feature is not enabled yet because some additional design and support code is required, but the basics
are getting there
- Fixed a potential issue where a ValueObjectSyntheticFilter was not holding on to its SyntheticChildrenSP
Because of the way VOSF are being built now, this has never been an actual issue, but it is still sensible for
a VOSF to hold on to the SyntheticChildrenSP as well as to its FrontEnd
llvm-svn: 138080
- reorganizing the PTS (Partial Template Specializations) in FormatManager.h
- applied a patch by Filipe Cabecinhas to make LLDB compile with GCC
Functional changes:
- fixed an issue where command type summary add for type "struct Foo" would not match any types.
currently, "struct" will be stripped off and type "Foo" will be matched.
similar behavior occurs for class, enum and union specifiers.
llvm-svn: 138020
- reorganizing classes layout to have public part first
Typedefs that we want to keep private, but must be defined for some public code to work correctly are an exception
- avoiding methods in the form T foo() { code; } all on one-line
- moving method implementations from .h to .cpp whenever feasible
Templatized code is an exception and so are very small methods
- generally, adhering to coding conventions followed project-wide
Functional changes:
- fixed an issue where using ${var} in a summary for an aggregate, and then displaying a pointer-to-aggregate would lead to no summary being displayed
The issue was not a major one because all ${var} was meant to do in that context was display an error for invalid use of pointer
Accordingly fixed test cases and added a new test case
llvm-svn: 137944
- all instances of "vobj" have been renamed to "valobj"
- class Debugger::Formatting has been renamed to DataVisualization (defined in FormatManager.h/cpp)
The interface to this class has not changed
- FormatCategory now uses ConstString's as keys to the navigators instead of repeatedly casting
from ConstString to const char* and back all the time
Next step is making the same happen for categories themselves
- category gnu-libstdc++ is defined in the constructor for a FormatManager
The source code for it is defined in gnu_libstdcpp.py, drawn from examples/synthetic at compile time
All references to previous 'osxcpp' name have been removed from both code and file names
Functional changes:
- the name of the option to use a summary string for 'type summary add' has changed from the previous --format-string
to the new --summary-string. It is expected that the short option will change from -f to -s, and -s for --python-script
will become -o
llvm-svn: 137886
The category is enabled by default. If you run into issues with it, disable it and the previous behavior of LLDB is restored
** This is a temporary solution. The general solution to having formatters pulled in at startup should involve going through the Platform.
Fixed an issue in type synthetic list where a category with synthetic providers in it was not shown if all the providers were regex-based
llvm-svn: 137850
any integers that are larger than a 8 bytes. We can now
display signed decimal, unsigned decimal, octal, and binary
(we could already view hex before this fix).
llvm-svn: 137602
Also change the SourceInitFile to look for .lldb-<APPNAME> and source that
preferentially if it exists.
Also made the breakpoint site report its address as well as its breakpoint number
when it gets hit and can't find any the associated locations (usually because the
breakpoint got disabled or deleted programmatically between the time it was hit
and reported.)
Changed ThreadPlanCallFunction to initialize the ivar m_func in the initializers of the
constructor, rather than waiting to initialize till later on in the function.
Fixed a bug where if you make an SBError and the ask it Success, it returns false.
Fixed ValueObject::ResolveValue so that it resolves a temporary value, rather than
overwriting the one in the value object.
