The many many benefits include:
1 - Input/Output/Error streams are now handled as real streams not a push style input
2 - auto completion in python embedded interpreter
3 - multi-line input for "script" and "expression" commands now allow you to edit previous/next lines using up and down arrow keys and this makes multi-line input actually a viable thing to use
4 - it is now possible to use curses to drive LLDB (please try the "gui" command)
We will need to deal with and fix any buildbot failures and tests and arise now that input/output and error are correctly hooked up in all cases.

lldb_private::Debugger was #including some "lldb/API" header files which causes tools (lldb-platform and lldb-gdbserver) that link against the internals only (no API layer) to fail to link depending on which calls were being used.
Also fixed the current working directory so that it gets set correctly for remote test suite runs. Now the remote working directory is set to: "ARCH/TESTNUM/..." where ARCH is the current architecture name and "TESTNUM" is the current test number.
Fixed the "lldb-platform" and "lldb-gdbserver" to not warn about mismatched visibility settings by having each have their own exports file which contains nothing. This forces all symbols to not be exported, and also quiets the linker warnings.

It completes the job of using EvaluateExpressionOptions consistently throughout
the inferior function calling mechanism in lldb begun in Greg's patch r194009.
It removes a handful of alternate calls into the ClangUserExpression/ClangFunction/ThreadPlanCallFunction which
were there for convenience. Using the EvaluateExpressionOptions removes the need for them.
Using that it gets the --debug option from Greg's patch to work cleanly.
It also adds another EvaluateExpressionOption to not trap exceptions when running expressions. You shouldn't
use this option unless you KNOW your expression can't throw beyond itself. This is:
<rdar://problem/15374885>
At present this is only available through the SB API's or python.
It fixes a bug where function calls would unset the ObjC & C++ exception breakpoints without checking whether
they were set by somebody else already.

pure virtual base class and made StackFrame a subclass of that. As
I started to build on top of that arrangement today, I found that it
wasn't working out like I intended. Instead I'll try sticking with
the single StackFrame class -- there's too much code duplication to
make a more complicated class hierarchy sensible I think.
llvm-svn: 193983
defines a protocol that all subclasses will implement. StackFrame
is currently the only subclass and the methods that Frame vends are
nearly identical to StackFrame's old methods.
Update all callers to use Frame*/Frame& instead of pointers to
StackFrames.
This is almost entirely a mechanical change that touches a lot of
the code base so I'm committing it alone. No new functionality is
added with this patch, no new subclasses of Frame exist yet.
I'll probably need to tweak some of the separation, possibly moving
some of StackFrame's methods up in to Frame, but this is a good
starting point.

In almost all cases, the misuse is about "%lu" being used instead of the correct "%zu" (even though these are compatible on 64-bit platforms in practice). There are even a couple of cases where "%ld" (ie., signed int) is used instead of "%zu", and one where "%lu" is used instead of "%" PRIu64.
Fixes bug #17551.

llvm-svn: 193832
- Made the dynamic register context for the GDB remote plug-in inherit from the generic DynamicRegisterInfo to avoid code duplication
- Finished up the target definition python setting stuff.
- Added a new "slice" key/value pair that can specify that a register is part of another register:
{ 'name':'eax', 'set':0, 'bitsize':32, 'encoding':eEncodingUint, 'format':eFormatHex, 'slice': 'rax[31:0]' },
- Added a new "composite" key/value pair that can specify that a register is made up of two or more registers:
{ 'name':'d0', 'set':0, 'bitsize':64 , 'encoding':eEncodingIEEE754, 'format':eFormatFloat, 'composite': ['s1', 's0'] },
- Added a new "invalidate-regs" key/value pair for when a register is modified, it can invalidate other registers:
{ 'name':'cpsr', 'set':0, 'bitsize':32 , 'encoding':eEncodingUint, 'format':eFormatHex, 'invalidate-regs': ['r8', 'r9', 'r10', 'r11', 'r12', 'r13', 'r14', 'r15']},
This now completes the feature that allows a GDB remote target to completely describe itself.
llvm-svn: 192858
When debugging with the GDB remote in LLDB, LLDB uses special packets to discover the
registers on the remote server. When those packets aren't supported, LLDB doesn't
know what the registers look like. This checkin implements a setting that can be used
to specify a python file that contains the registers definitions. The setting is:
(lldb) settings set plugin.process.gdb-remote.target-definition-file /path/to/module.py
Inside module there should be a function:
def get_dynamic_setting(target, setting_name):
This dynamic setting function is handed the "target" which is a SBTarget, and the
"setting_name", which is the name of the dynamic setting to retrieve. For the GDB
remote target definition the setting name is 'gdb-server-target-definition'. The
return value is a dictionary that follows the same format as the OperatingSystem
plugins follow. I have checked in an example file that implements the x86_64 GDB
register set for people to see:
examples/python/x86_64_target_definition.py
This allows LLDB to debug to any archticture that is support and allows users to
define the registers contexts when the discovery packets (qRegisterInfo, qHostInfo)
are not supported by the remote GDB server.
A few benefits of doing this in Python:
1 - The dynamic register context was already supported in the OperatingSystem plug-in
2 - Register contexts can use all of the LLDB enumerations and definitions for things
like lldb::Format, lldb::Encoding, generic register numbers, invalid registers
numbers, etc.
3 - The code that generates the register context can use the program to calculate the
register context contents (like offsets, register numbers, and more)
4 - True dynamic detection could be used where variables and types could be read from
the target program itself in order to determine which registers are available since
the target is passed into the python function.
This is designed to be used instead of XML since it is more dynamic and code flow and
functions can be used to make the dictionary.
llvm-svn: 192646
This is implemented by means of a get_dynamic_setting(target, setting_name) function vended by the Python module, which can respond to arbitrary string names with dynamically constructed
settings objects (most likely, some of those that PythonDataObjects supports) for LLDB to parse
This needs to be hooked up to the debugger via some setting to allow users to specify which module will vend the information they want to supply
llvm-svn: 192628
gdb-format a (as in p/a) would fail as it needed to set a byte size (unsurprisingly enough)
This should be acknowledged by the condition check and not cause a failure
llvm-svn: 192511
DumpValueObject() 2.0
This checkin restores pre-Xcode5 functionality to the "po" (expr -O) command:
- expr now has a new --description-verbosity (-v) argument, which takes either compact or full as a value (-v is the same as -vfull)
When the full mode is on, "po" will show the extended output with type name, persistent variable name and value, as in
(lldb) expr -O -v -- foo
(id) $0 = 0x000000010010baf0 {
1 = 2;
2 = 3;
}
When -v is omitted, or -vcompact is passed, the Xcode5-style output will be shown, as in
(lldb) expr -O -- foo
{
1 = 2;
2 = 3;
}
- for a non-ObjectiveC object, LLDB will still try to retrieve a summary and/or value to display
(lldb) po 5
5
-v also works in this mode
(lldb) expr -O -vfull -- 5
(int) $4 = 5
On top of that, this is a major refactoring of the ValueObject printing code. The functionality is now factored into a ValueObjectPrinter class for easier maintenance in the future
DumpValueObject() was turned into an instance method ValueObject::Dump() which simply calls through to the printer code, Dump_Impl has been removed

This allows the PC to be directly changed to a different line.

Summary:
This merge brings in the improved 'platform' command that knows how to
interface with remote machines; that is, query OS/kernel information, push
and pull files, run shell commands, etc... and implementation for the new
communication packets that back that interface, at least on Darwin based
operating systems via the POSIXPlatform class. Linux support is coming soon.
Verified the test suite runs cleanly on Linux (x86_64), build OK on Mac OS
X Mountain Lion.
Additional improvements (not in the source SVN branch 'lldb-platform-work'):
- cmake build scripts for lldb-platform
- cleanup test suite
- documentation stub for qPlatform_RunCommand
- use log class instead of printf() directly
- reverted work-in-progress-looking changes from test/types/TestAbstract.py that work towards running the test suite remotely.
- add new logging category 'platform'

- First, the watchpoint size was being cast to the
wrong type. This is primarily cosmetic, but
annoying.
- Second, the options for the watchpoint command
were not being initialized correctly, which led
to the watchpoint size sometimes having absurdly
large values. This caused watchpoints to fail to
be set in some cases.

The semi-unofficial way of returning a status from a Python command was to return a string (e.g. return "no such variable was found") that LLDB would pick as a clue of an error having happened
This checkin changes that:
- SBCommandReturnObject now exports a SetError() call, which can take an SBError or a plain C-string
- script commands now drop any return value and expect the SBCommandReturnObject ("return object") to be filled in appropriately - if you do nothing, a success will be assumed
If your commands were relying on returning a value and having LLDB pick that up as an error, please change your commands to SetError() through the return object or expect changes in behavior
llvm-svn: 184893
Specifically, the ${target ${process ${thread and ${frame specifiers have been extended to allow a subkeyword .script:<fctName> (e.g. ${frame.script:FooFunction})
The functions are prototyped as
def FooFunction(Object,unused)
where object is of the respective SB-type (SBTarget for target.script, ... and so on)
This has not been implemented for ${var because it would be akin to a Python summary which is already well-defined in LLDB
llvm-svn: 184500
Xcode spawns a new LLDB SBDebugger for each debug session, and this was causing the reloading of python modules to fail across debug sessions
(long story short: the module would not be loaded in the current instance of the ScriptInterpreter, but would still be present in sys.modules, hence the import call would just make a copy of it and not run it again
Greg's new decorator uncovered the issue since it relies on actually loading the module's code rather than using __lldb_init_module as the active entity)
This patch introduces the notion of a local vs. global import and crafts an appropriate command to allow reloading to work across debug sessions

This is a rewrite of the command history facility of LLDB
It takes the history management out of the CommandInterpreter into its own CommandHistory class
It reimplements the command history command to allow more combinations of options to work correctly (e.g. com hist -c 1 -s 5)
It adds a new --wipe (-w) option to command history to allow clearing the history on demand
It extends the lldbtest runCmd: and expect: methods to allow adding commands to history if need be
It adds a test case for the reimplemented facility

If you type help command <word> <word> <word> <missingSubCommand> (e.g. help script import or help type summary fake), you will get help on the deepest matched command word (i.e. script or type summary in the examples)

llvm-svn: 183822

command script import now does reloads - for real
If you invoke command script import foo and it detects that foo has already been imported, it will
- invoke reload(foo) to reload the module in Python
- re-invoke foo.__lldb_init_module
This second step is necessary to ensure that LLDB does not keep cached copies of any formatter, command, ... that the module is providing
Usual caveats with Python imports persist. Among these:
- if you have objects lurking around, reloading the module won't magically update them to reflect changes
- if module A imports module B, reloading A won't reload B
These are Python-specific issues independent of LLDB that would require more extensive design work
The --allow-reload (-r) option is maintained for compatibility with existing scripts, but is clearly documented as redundant - reloading is always enabled whether you use it or not

Main changes in this patch include:
- cleanup plug-in interface and use ConstStrings for plug-in names
- Modfiied the BSD Archive plug-in to be able to pick out the correct .o file when .a files contain multiple .o files with the same name by using the timestamp
- Modified SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap to properly verify the timestamp on .o files it loads to ensure we don't load updated .o files and cause problems when debugging
The plug-in interface changes:
Modified the lldb_private::PluginInterface class that all plug-ins inherit from:
Changed:
virtual const char * GetPluginName() = 0;
To:
virtual ConstString GetPluginName() = 0;
Removed:
virtual const char * GetShortPluginName() = 0;
- Fixed up all plug-in to adhere to the new interface and to return lldb_private::ConstString values for the plug-in names.
- Fixed all plug-ins to return simple names with no prefixes. Some plug-ins had prefixes and most ones didn't, so now they all don't have prefixed names, just simple names like "linux", "gdb-remote", etc.

Patch by Yacine Belkadi!
When __GLIBC__ is defined, optind gets initialized to 0. So for the first parsed
option, parse_start is 0, too. If this option has no argument (Like "--continue"
of "process attach"), then the position stored is 0, instead of 1. This prevents
the completion later on in Options::HandleOptionCompletion() because the opt_pos
doesn't match the cursor_index.
Fix that by getting the option's position from the value of optind, as it's done
for the other types of options.
Re-enable test_process_attach_dash_dash_con() on Linux.

Make lldb_private::RegularExpression thread safe everywhere. This was done by removing the m_matches array from the lldb_private::RegularExpression class and putting it into the new lldb_private::RegularExpression::Match class. When executing a regular expression you now have the option to create a lldb_private::RegularExpression::Match object and pass a pointer in if you want to get parenthesized matching. If you don't want any matching, you pass in NULL. The lldb_private::RegularExpression::Match object is initialized with the number of matches you desire. Any matching strings are now extracted from the lldb_private::RegularExpression::Match objects. This makes the regular expression objects thread safe and as a result many more regex objects were turned into static objects that end up using a local lldb_private::RegularExpression::Match object when executing.
llvm-svn: 178702
Symbol table function names should support lookups like symbols with debug info.
To fix this I:
- Gutted the way FindFunctions is used, there used to be way too much smarts only in the DWARF plug-in
- Made it more efficient by chopping the name up once and using simpler queries so that SymbolFile and Symtab plug-ins don't need to do as much
- Filter the results at a higher level
- Make the lldb_private::Symtab able to chop up C++ mangled names and make as much sense out of them as possible and also be able to search by basename, fullname, method name, and selector name.
llvm-svn: 178608
LLDB is crashing when logging is enabled from lldb-perf-clang. This has to do with the global destructor chain as the process and its threads are being torn down.
All logging channels now make one and only one instance that is kept in a global pointer which is never freed. This guarantees that logging can correctly continue as the process tears itself down.
llvm-svn: 178191
With this notion, if parties outside the ScriptInterpreter itself need to acquire a lock on script APIs, they can do so by a pattern like this:
{
auto lock = interpeter->AcquireInterpreterLock();
// do whatever you need to do...
} // lock will automatically be released here
This might be useful for classes that use the Python convenience objects (e.g. PythonDictionary) to ensure they keep the underlying interpreter in a safe and controlled condition while they call through the C API functions
Of course, the ScriptInterpreter still manages its internal locking correctly when necessary :-)

The notion of Crossref command has long been forgotten, and there is nothing using CommandObjectCrossref in the current LLDB codebase

(lldb) b *0x1234
You can still of course just specify an address:
(lldb) b 0x1234
Also now we accept the '&' before function names to indicate to not to skip the function prologue like GDB supports. To see how this works:
(lldb) settings set interpreter.expand-regex-aliases 1
(lldb) b &main
breakpoint set --name 'main' --skip-prologue=0
Breakpoint 1: where = a.out`main at main.c:20, address = 0x0000000100000b60
(lldb) b main
breakpoint set --name 'main'
Breakpoint 2: where = a.out`main + 54 at main.c:21, address = 0x0000000100000b96
llvm-svn: 174695

LINENUM, to list around that line in current file,
FILE:LINENUM, to list around that line in that file,
FUNCTION, to list around beginning of that function,
*ADDRESS, to list around the line containing that address.
ADDRESS, same as above, but don't require a '*' as long as ADDRESS is hex
llvm-svn: 174233
Cleaned up the objective C name parsing code to use a class.
Now breakpoints that are set by name that are objective C methods without the leading '+' or '-' will resolve. We do this by expanding all the objective C names for a given string. For example:
(lldb) b [MyString cStringUsingEncoding:]
Will set a breakpoint with multiple possible names:
-[MyString cStringUsingEncoding:]
+[MyString cStringUsingEncoding:]
Also if you have a category, it will strip the category and set a breakpoint in all variants:
(lldb) [MyString(my_category) cStringUsingEncoding:]
Will resolve to the following names:
-[MyString(my_category) cStringUsingEncoding:]
+[MyString(my_category) cStringUsingEncoding:]
-[MyString cStringUsingEncoding:]
+[MyString cStringUsingEncoding:]
Likewise when we have:
(lldb) b -[MyString(my_category) cStringUsingEncoding:]
It will resolve to two names:
-[MyString(my_category) cStringUsingEncoding:]
-[MyString cStringUsingEncoding:]

Data formatters now cache themselves.
This commit provides a new formatter cache mechanism. Upon resolving a formatter (summary or synthetic), LLDB remembers the resolution for later faster retrieval.
Also moved the data formatters subsystem from the core to its own group and folder for easier management, and done some code reorganization.
The ObjC runtime v1 now returns a class name if asked for the dynamic type of an object. This is required for formatters caching to work with the v1 runtime.
Lastly, this commit disposes of the old hack where ValueObjects had to remember whether they were queried for formatters with their static or dynamic type.
Now the ValueObjectDynamicValue class works well enough that we can use its dynamic value setting for the same purpose.
llvm-svn: 173728
Major fixed to allow reading files that are over 4GB. The main problems were that the DataExtractor was using 32 bit offsets as a data cursor, and since we mmap all of our object files we could run into cases where if we had a very large core file that was over 4GB, we were running into the 4GB boundary.
So I defined a new "lldb::offset_t" which should be used for all file offsets.
After making this change, I enabled warnings for data loss and for enexpected implicit conversions temporarily and found a ton of things that I fixed.
Any functions that take an index internally, should use "size_t" for any indexes and also should return "size_t" for any sizes of collections.

Providing a special mode of operator for "memory read -f c-str" which actually works in most common cases
Where the old behavior would provide:

Now we do:
(lldb) mem read --format s `foo`
0x100000f5d: "hello world"
You can also specify a count and that many strings will be showed starting at the initial address:
(lldb) mem read -c 2 -f c-str `foo`
0x100000f1d: "hello world"
0x100000f29: "short"

This will add a new thread to the thread list if it doesn't already exist. The example code in lldb/examples/python/operating_system.py has been updated to show how this call us used.
Cleaned up the code in PythonDataObjects.cpp/h:
- renamed all classes that started with PythonData* to be Python*.
- renamed PythonArray to PythonList. Cleaned up the code to use inheritance where
- Centralized the code that does ref counting in the PythonObject class to a single function.
- Made the "bool PythonObject::Reset(PyObject *)" function be virtual so each subclass can correctly check to ensure a PyObject is of the right type before adopting the object.
- Cleaned up all APIs and added new constructors for the Python* classes to they can all construct form:
- PyObject *
- const PythonObject &
- const lldb::ScriptInterpreterObjectSP &
Cleaned up code in ScriptInterpreterPython:
- Made calling python functions safer by templatizing the production of value formats. Python specifies the value formats based on built in C types (long, long long, etc), and code often uses typedefs for uint32_t, uint64_t, etc when passing arguments down to python. We will now always produce correct value formats as the templatized code will "do the right thing" all the time.
- Fixed issues with the ScriptInterpreterPython::Locker where entering the session and leaving the session had a bunch of issues that could cause the "lldb" module globals lldb.debugger, lldb.target, lldb.process, lldb.thread, and lldb.frame to not be initialized.

If there is any alive process being debugged, the user is asked for confirmation before quitting LLDB
This should prevent situations where the user mistakenly types "q" and LLDB slaughters their process without any mercy whatsoever
Since it can quickly get tedious, there is a new setting on the command interpreter to disable this and replicate the previous behavior
llvm-svn: 172757
controlled by the --unwind-on-error flag, and --ignore-breakpoint which separately controls behavior when a called
function hits a breakpoint. For breakpoints, we don't unwind, we either stop, or ignore the breakpoint, which makes
more sense.
Also make both these behaviors globally settable through "settings set".
Also handle the case where a breakpoint command calls code that ends up re-hitting the breakpoint. We were recursing
and crashing. Now we just stop without calling the second command.

Now each command object contains a "ExecutionContext m_exe_ctx;" member variable that gets initialized prior to running the command. The validity of the target objects in m_exe_ctx are checked to ensure that any target/process/thread/frame/reg context that are required are valid prior to executing the command. Each command object also contains a Mutex::Locker m_api_locker which gets used if eFlagTryTargetAPILock is set. This centralizes a lot of checking code that was previously and inconsistently implemented across many commands.

Implement the ability for Python commands to be interrupted by pressing CTRL+C
Also add a new Mutex subclass that attempts to be helpful for debugging by logging actions performed on it
FYI of all interested - there is a separate deadlocking issue related to how LLDB dispatches CTRL+C that might cause LLDB to deadlock upon pressing CTRL+C while in a Python command.
This is not a regression, and was just previously masked by us not even trying to bail out of Python commands, so that it would not be clear from a user perspective whether we were
deadlocked or stuck in an inconsistent state within the Python interpreter.

x/a print wouldn't always reset the word size to the size of a pointer if a previous memory read using x/<gdb-format> had been used that set it to another width.

the option to print the runtime-specific description has been modified in the frame variable, memory read and expression command.
All three commands now support a --object-description option, with a shortcut of -O (uppercase letter o)
This is a breaking change:
frame variable used --objc as the long option name
expression used -o as a shortcut
memory read uses --objd as the long option name
Hopefully, most users won't be affected by the change since people tend to access "expression --object-description" under the alias "po" which still works
The test suite has been tweaked accordingly.

Fix the OptionValueFileSpec option value to correctly get the file path when trailing spaces are on the path. The "settings set" command uses the OptionValueFileSpec class to set file paths and if extra spaces are at the end it will include those in the paths. Now we chop up the value send to to OptionValueFileSpec::SetValueFromCString(...) function with "lldb_private::Args" and give an appropriate error if more than one path is used. It also allows for quotes to be used when specifying the path.

I modified the "Args::StringtoAddress(...)" function to be able to evaluate address expressions. This is now used for any command line arguments or options that takes addresses like:
memory read <addr> [<end-addr>]
memory write <addr>
breakpoint set --address <addr>
disassemble --start-address <addr> --end-address <addr>
It calls the expression parser to evaluate the address expression and will also work around the issue where the compiler doesn't like to add offsets to function pointers (which is what happens when you try to evaluate "main + 12"). So there is a temp fix in the Args::StringtoAddress() to work around this until we can get special compiler support for debug expressions with function pointers.

Cleaned up the option parsing code to always pass around the short options as integers. Previously we cast this down to "char" and lost some information. I recently added an assert that would detect duplicate short character options which was firing during the test suite.
This fix does the following:
- make sure all short options are treated as "int"
- make sure that short options can be non-printable values when a short option is not required or when an option group is mixed into many commands and a short option is not desired
- fix the help printing to "do the right thing" in all cases. Previously if there were duplicate short character options, it would just not emit help for the duplicates
- fix option parsing when there are duplicates to parse options correctly. Previously the option parsing, when done for an OptionGroup, would just start parsing options incorrectly by omitting table entries and it would end up setting the wrong option value

- use const char* instead of char* as needed in ObjC language runtime plugin

For "target create" you can now specify "--no-dependents" to not track down and add all dependent shared libraries. This can be handy when doing manual symbolication. Also added the "--symfile" or "-s" for short so you can specify a module and a stand alone debug info file:
(lldb) target create --symfile /tmp/a.dSYM /usr/bin/a
Added the "--symfile" option to the "target modules add" for the same reason. These all help with manualy symbolication and expose functionality that was previously only available through the public API layer.

This should delay initialization of Python until strictly necessary and speed-up debugger startup

There was a generic catch-all type for path arguments
called "eArgTypePath," and a specialized version
called "eArgTypeFilename." It turns out all the
cases where we used eArgTypePath we could have
used Filename or we explicitly meant a directory.
I changed Path to DirectoryName, made it use the
directory completer, and rationalized the uses of
Path.

This commit enables the new HasChildren() feature for synthetic children providers
Namely, it hooks up the required bits and pieces so that individual synthetic children providers can implement a new (optional) has_children call
Default implementations have been provided where necessary so that any existing providers continue to work and behave correctly
Next steps are:
2) writing smart implementations of has_children for our providers whenever possible
3) make a test case
