[PyObject members are not to be accessed
directly](https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/structures.html#c.PyObject),
but rather through macros, in this case `Py_REFCNT()`.
In most, ie Global Interpreter Lock-enabled, CPython cases,
`Py_REFCNT()` expands to accessing `ob_refcnt` anyway. However, in a
free-threaded CPython, combined with disabling the limited API (since it
requires the GIL for now), the direct member does not exist, causing the
build to fail. The macro expands to the correct access method in the
free-threaded configuration.
Extract the CMake logic to add SWIG wrapper into helper function defined
in the bindings directly. This avoid code duplication between Python and
Lua.
The function is parameterized in its target, making it possible to add
the wrapper to a different target, for example the respective script
interpreter plugin when building dynamic plugins.
This revert #181334 and its follow-up PRs (including #181488, #181492,
#181493, #181494 and #181498) as well as Ismail's documentation changes
(#181594, #181717). The original commit causes a test failure in CI
(https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/181938) but the more I look
at the patch, the more I'm convinced it was not ready to land. It will
be easier to iterate on the feedback by re-landing this than by using
post-commit review.
## Summary
Based on discussion from
[RFC](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-python-callback-for-source-file-resolution/83545),
this PR adds a new `SymbolLocatorScripted` plugin that allows Python
scripts to implement custom symbol and source file resolution logic.
This enables downstream users to build custom symbol servers, source
file remapping, and build artifact resolution entirely in Python.
### Changes
- Adds `LocateSourceFile()` to the SymbolLocator plugin interface,
called during source path resolution with a fully loaded `ModuleSP`, so
the plugin has access to the module's UUID, file paths, and symbols.
- Adds `SymbolLocatorScripted` plugin that delegates all four
SymbolLocator methods (`LocateExecutableObjectFile`,
`LocateExecutableSymbolFile`, `DownloadObjectAndSymbolFile`,
`LocateSourceFile`) to a user-provided Python class.
- Adds `ScriptedSymbolLocatorPythonInterface` to bridge C++ calls to
Python, with proper GIL management and error handling.
- Results for `LocateSourceFile` are cached per (module UUID, source
file) pair.
- The Python class is configured via: `settings set
plugin.symbol-locator.scripted.script-class module.ClassName`
### Python class interface
```python
class MyLocator:
def __init__(self, exe_ctx, args): ...
def locate_source_file(self, module, original_source_file):
...
def locate_executable_object_file(self, module_spec): ...
def locate_executable_symbol_file(self, module_spec,
default_search_paths): ...
def download_object_and_symbol_file(self, module_spec,
force_lookup, copy_executable): ...
```
### Test plan
```
Added TestScriptedSymbolLocator.py with 3 test cases:
- test_locate_source_file — verifies the locator resolves source
files, receives a valid SBModule with UUID, and remaps paths correctly
- test_locate_source_file_none_fallthrough — verifies returning
None falls through to default LLDB resolution, and that having no script
class set works normally
- test_invalid_script_class — verifies graceful handling of
invalid class names without crashing
```

This patch adds support for:
- PyObject -> SBValueList (which was surprisingly not there before!)
- PyObject -> SBValue
- SBValue -> ValueObjectSP using the ScriptInterpreter
These three are the main remaining plumbing changes necessary before we can get to the meat of actually using ScriptedFrame to provide values to the printer/etc. Future patches build off this change in order to allow ScriptedFrames to provide variables and get values for variable expressions.
We missed a handful of uses of the Python private API in the SWIG
typemaps because they are included before we include the Python header
that defines Py_LIMITED_API.
This fixes that and guards the last private use on whether or not you're
targeting the limited API. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be an
alternative, so we have to resort to being slightly less defensive.
This is an alternative solution to the issue described in #167990, which
can be summarized as that we cannot target Python 3.8 with the stable
API and support building for Python 3.13 and later due to the buffer
protocol.
The approach taken in this PR, and proposed by Ismail, is to sidesteps
the issue by dropping support for the buffer protocol. The only two
users are SBFile::Read and SBFile::Write. Instead, we support PyBytes
and PyByteArray which are the builtin types that conform to the buffer
protocol. Technically, this means a small regression, where those
methods could previously take custom types that conform to Python's
buffer protocol. Like Ismail, I think this is acceptable given the
alternatives.

This patch extends ScriptedFrame to work with real (non-scripted)
threads,
enabling frame providers to synthesize frames for native processes.
Previously, ScriptedFrame only worked within
ScriptedProcess/ScriptedThread
contexts. This patch decouples ScriptedFrame from ScriptedThread,
allowing
users to augment or replace stack frames in real debugging sessions for
use
cases like custom calling conventions, reconstructing corrupted frames
from
core files, or adding diagnostic frames.
Key changes:
- ScriptedFrame::Create() now accepts ThreadSP instead of requiring
ScriptedThread, extracting architecture from the target triple rather
than ScriptedProcess.arch
- Added SBTarget::RegisterScriptedFrameProvider() and
ClearScriptedFrameProvider() APIs, with Target storing a
SyntheticFrameProviderDescriptor template for new threads
- Added "target frame-provider register/clear" commands for CLI access
- Thread class gains LoadScriptedFrameProvider(),
ClearScriptedFrameProvider(),
and GetFrameProvider() methods for per-thread frame provider management
- New SyntheticStackFrameList overrides FetchFramesUpTo() to lazily
provide
frames from either the frame provider or the real stack
This enables practical use of the SyntheticFrameProvider infrastructure
in
real debugging workflows.

When building against the Python Stable API, we should use the `abi3`
ABI tag. Otherwise, Python will refuse to import the native shared
object. This PR adds support for generating a stable ABI compatible
suffix when `LLDB_ENABLE_PYTHON_LIMITED_API` is set.
Previously, on Darwin when building against Python 3.14, you would end
up with `_lldb.cpython-314-darwin.so`. Now, when using the stable ABI,
you get `_lldb.abi3.so` instead. A different version of the Python
interpreter will not consider loading the former, but will load the
latter.
the function signature for `GetStopDescription` is
`lldb::SBThread::GetStopDescription(char *dst_or_null, size_t len)`.
To get a description you need to call the function first time to get the
buffer size. a second time to get the description.
This is little worse from the python size as the signature is
`lldb.SBThread.GetStopDescription(int: len) -> list[str]` the user has
to pass the max size as possible with no way of checking if it is
enough.
This patch adds a new api
`lldb.SBThread.GetStopDescription(desc: lldb.SBStream()) -> bool` `bool
lldb::SBThread::GetStopDescription(lldb::SBStream &description)` which
handles this case.
Adds new Test case for lua.
Modify the python wrapper to return uint32_t,
which prevents incorrect child name-to-index mapping and avoids
performing redundant operations on non-existent SBValues.
This patch adds the notion of "Facade" locations which can be reported
from a ScriptedResolver instead of the actual underlying breakpoint
location for the breakpoint. Also add a "was_hit" method to the scripted
resolver that allows the breakpoint to say which of these "Facade"
locations was hit, and "get_location_description" to provide a
description for the facade locations.
I apologize in advance for the size of the patch. Almost all of what's
here was necessary to (a) make the feature testable and (b) not break
any of the current behavior.
The motivation for this feature is given in the "Providing Facade
Locations" section that I added to the python-reference.rst so I won't
repeat it here.
rdar://152112327
Enable SWIG support for translating Doxygen comments found in interface
and header files into a target language's normal documentation language.
This feature was introduced in SWIG 4.0 and currently only supports
Python (and Java). Hand-written documentation still takes precedence.
SWIG documentation: https://www.swig.org/Doc4.0/Doxygen.html
So the dSYM can be told what target it has been loaded into.
When lldb is loading modules, while creating a target, it will run
"command script import" on any Python modules in Resources/Python in the
dSYM. However, this happens WHILE the target is being created, so it is
not yet in the target list. That means that these scripts can't act on
the target that they a part of when they get loaded.
This patch adds a new python API that lldb will call:
__lldb_module_added_to_target
if it is defined in the module, passing in the Target the module was
being added to, so that code in these dSYM's don't have to guess.
Fix#92603
This replaces #113066. I finally came back to this issue and it seems
that this approach is still very promising.
As requested, I have added a short explanation as to why CPython module
should be moved into a submodule.
cc @JDevlieghere who reviewed on the previous PR earlier.
Xcode uses a pseudoterminal for the debugger console.
- The upside of this apporach is that it means that it can rely on
LLDB's IOHandlers for multiline and script input.
- The downside of this approach is that the command output is printed to
the PTY and you don't get a SBCommandReturnObject. Adrian added support
for inline diagnostics (#110901) and we'd like to access those from the
IDE.
This patch adds support for registering a callback in the command
interpreter that gives access to the `(SB)CommandReturnObject` right
before it will be printed. The callback implementation can choose
whether it likes to handle printing the result or defer to lldb. If the
callback indicated it handled the result, the command interpreter will
skip printing the result.
We considered a few other alternatives to solve this problem:
- The most obvious one is using `HandleCommand`, which returns a
`SBCommandReturnObject`. The problem with this approach is the multiline
input mentioned above. We would need a way to tell the IDE that it
should expect multiline input, which isn't known until LLDB starts
handling the command.
- To address the multiline issue,we considered exposing (some of the)
IOHandler machinery through the SB API. To solve this particular issue,
that would require reimplementing a ton of logic that already exists
today in the CommandInterpeter. Furthermore that seems like overkill
compared to the proposed solution.

If your arguments or option values are of a type that naturally uses one
of our common completion mechanisms, you will get completion for free.
But if you have your own custom values or if you want to do fancy things
like have `break set -s foo.dylib -n ba<TAB>` only complete on symbols
in foo.dylib, you can use this new mechanism to achieve that.
...and "[lldb/Interpreter] Introduce `ScriptedStopHook{,Python}Interface` & make use of it (#105449)"
This reverts commit 76b827bb4d5b4cc4d3229c4c6de2529e8b156810, and commit 1e131ddfa8f1d7b18c85c6e4079458be8b419421
because the first commit caused the test command-stop-hook-output.test to fail.
This patch introduces new `ScriptedStopHook{,Python}Interface` classes
that make use of the Scripted Interface infrastructure and makes use of
it in `StopHookScripted`.
It also relax the requirement on the number of argument for initializing
scripting extension if the size of the interface parameter pack contains
1 less element than the extension maximum number of positional arguments
for this initializer.
This addresses the cases where the embedded interpreter session
dictionary is passed to the extension initializer which is not used most
of the time.

This patch removes all of the Set.* methods from Status.
This cleanup is part of a series of patches that make it harder use the
anti-pattern of keeping a long-lives Status object around and updating
it while dropping any errors it contains on the floor.
This patch is largely NFC, the more interesting next steps this enables
is to:
1. remove Status.Clear()
2. assert that Status::operator=() never overwrites an error
3. remove Status::operator=()
Note that step (2) will bring 90% of the benefits for users, and step
(3) will dramatically clean up the error handling code in various
places. In the end my goal is to convert all APIs that are of the form
` ResultTy DoFoo(Status& error)
`
to
` llvm::Expected<ResultTy> DoFoo()
`
How to read this patch?
The interesting changes are in Status.h and Status.cpp, all other
changes are mostly
` perl -pi -e 's/\.SetErrorString/ = Status::FromErrorString/g' $(git
grep -l SetErrorString lldb/source)
`
plus the occasional manual cleanup.
The issue was introduced in
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/104523.
The code introduces the `ret_val` variable but does not use it. Instead
it returns a pointer, which gets implicitly converted to bool.
Compilers and language runtimes often use helper functions that are
fundamentally uninteresting when debugging anything but the
compiler/runtime itself. This patch introduces a user-extensible
mechanism that allows for these frames to be hidden from backtraces and
automatically skipped over when navigating the stack with `up` and
`down`.
This does not affect the numbering of frames, so `f <N>` will still
provide access to the hidden frames. The `bt` output will also print a
hint that frames have been hidden.
My primary motivation for this feature is to hide thunks in the Swift
programming language, but I'm including an example recognizer for
`std::function::operator()` that I wished for myself many times while
debugging LLDB.
rdar://126629381
Example output. (Yes, my proof-of-concept recognizer could hide even
more frames if we had a method that returned the function name without
the return type or I used something that isn't based off regex, but it's
really only meant as an example).

Among other things, returning an empty string as the repeat command
disables auto-repeat, which can be useful for state-changing commands.
There's one remaining refinement to this setup, which is that for parsed
script commands, it should be possible to change an option value, or add
a new option value that wasn't originally specified, then ask lldb "make
this back into a command string". That would make doing fancy things
with repeat commands easier.
That capability isn't present in the lldb_private side either, however.
So that's for a next iteration.
I haven't added this to the docs on adding commands yet. I wanted to
make sure this was an acceptable approach before I spend the time to do
that.

…andOverrideCallback (#94518)"
This reverts commit 7cff05ada05e87408966d56b4c1675033187ff5c. The API
test that was added erroneously imports a module that isn't needed and
wouldn't be found which causes a test failures. This reversion removes
that import.
`SBCommandInterpreter::CommandOverrideCallback` was not being exposed to
the Python API and has no coverage in the
API test suite, so this commits exposes and adds a test for it. Doing
this involves also adding a typemap for the callback used for this
function so that it matches the functionality of other callback
functions that are exposed to Python.
