Originally commited in 362b9d78b4ee9107da2b5e90b3764b0f0fa610fe and then
reverted in cb63b75e32a415c9bfc298ed7fdcd67e8d9de54c.
This re-lands a subset of the changes to
dap_server.py/DebugCommunication and addresses the python3.10
compatibility issue.
This includes less type annotations since those were the reason for the
failures on that specific version of python.
I've done additional testing on python3.8, python3.10 and python3.13 to
further validate these changes.
Resolves#141955
- Adds data to breakpoints `Source` object, in order for assembly
breakpoints, which rely on a temporary `sourceReference` value, to be
able to resolve in future sessions like normal path+line breakpoints
- Adds optional `instructions_offset` parameter to `BreakpointResolver`
Currently, the "stopped" event returned when a breakpoint is hit will
always return only the ID of first breakpoint returned from
`GetStopReasonDataAtIndex`. This is slightly different from the
behaviour in `lldb`, where multiple breakpoints can exist at a single
instruction address and all are returned as part of the stop reason when
that address is hit.
This patch allows all multiple hit breakpoints to be returned in the
"stopped" event, both in the hitBreakpointIds field and in the
description, using the same formatting as lldb e.g. "breakpoint 1.1
2.1". I'm not aware of any effect this will have on debugger plugins; as
far as I can tell, it makes no difference within the VS Code UI - this
just fixes a minor issue encountered while writing an `lldb-dap` backend
for Dexter.
This updates all the existing memory reference fields to use
`lldb::addr_t` directly.
A few places were using `std::string` and decoding the value in the
request handler and other places had unique ways of parsing addresses.
This unifies all of these references with the `DecodeMemoryReference`
helper in JSONUtils.h.
Additionally, for the types I updated, I tried to simplify the POD types
some and moved default values out of RequestHandlers and into the
protocol POD types.
When there is a function that is inlined at the current program counter.
If you get the current `line_entry` using the program counter's address
it will point to the location of the inline function that may be in
another file. (this is in implicit step-in and should not happen what
step over is called).
Use the current frame to get the `line_entry`
In DebugCommunication, we currently are using 2 thread to drive
lldb-dap. At the moment, they make an attempt at only synchronizing the
`recv_packets` between the reader thread and the main test thread. Other
stateful properties of the debug session are not guarded by a
locks/mutex.
To mitigate this, I am moving any state updates to the main thread
inside the `_recv_packet` method to ensure that between calls to
`_recv_packet` the state does not change out from under us in a test.
This does mean the precise timing of events has changed slightly as a
result and I've updated the existing tests that fail for me locally with
this new behavior.
I think this should result in overall more predictable behavior, even if
the test is slow due to the host workload or architecture differences.

This adds a new 'CapabilitiesEventBody' type for having a well
structured type for the event and updates the 'restart' request
to dynamically set their capabilities.
Attempt to improve tests by synchronously waiting for breakpoints to
resolve. Not sure if it will fix all the tests but I think it should
make the tests more stable

The second one is because our bots have the libc debug info package installed,
the first, no idea.
Improving the readability and correctness of DebugCommunication by
adding type annotations to many parts of the library and trying to
improve the implementation of a few key areas of the code to better
handle correctness.
Specifically, this refactored the
`DebugCommunication._handle_recv_packet` function to ensure consistency
with the reader thread when handling state changes and improved the
`DebugCommunication._recv_packet` helper to make it easier to follow by
adding some additional helpers.
Fix the handling of the `instructionOffset` parameter, which resulted in
always returning the wrong disassembly because VSCode always uses
`instructionOffset = -50` and expects 50 instructions before the given
address, instead of 50 bytes before
This is more straight forward refactor of the startup sequence that
reverts parts of ba29e60f9a2222bd5e883579bb78db13fc5a7588. Unlike my
previous attempt, I ended up removing the pending request queue and not
including an `AsyncReqeustHandler` because I don't think we actually
need that at the moment.
The key is that during the startup flow there are 2 parallel operations
happening in the DAP that have different triggers.
* The `initialize` request is sent and once the response is received the
`launch` or `attach` is sent.
* When the `initialized` event is recieved the `setBreakpionts` and
other config requests are made followed by the `configurationDone`
event.
I moved the `initialized` event back to happen in the `PostRun` of the
`launch` or `attach` request handlers. This ensures that we have a valid
target by the time the configuration calls are made. I added also added
a few extra validations that to the `configurationeDone` handler to
ensure we're in an expected state.
I've also fixed up the tests to match the new flow. With the other
additional test fixes in 087a5d2ec7897cd99d3787820711fec76a8e1792 I
think we've narrowed down the main source of test instability that
motivated the startup sequence change.
Adding an assert that the 'continue' request succeeds caused a number of
tests to fail. This showed a number of tests that were not specifying if
they should be stopped or not at key points in the test. This is likely
contributing to these tests being flaky since the debugger is not in the
expected state.
Additionally, I spent a little time trying to improve the readability of
the dap_server.py and lldbdap_testcase.py.
This PR changes how we treat the launch sequence in lldb-dap.
- Send the initialized event after we finish handling the initialize
request, rather than after we finish attaching or launching.
- Delay handling the launch and attach request until we have handled
the configurationDone request. The latter is now largely a NO-OP and
only exists to signal lldb-dap that it can handle the launch and
attach requests.
- Delay handling the initial threads requests until we have handled
the launch or attach request.
- Make all attaching and launching synchronous, including when we have
attach or launch commands. This removes the need to synchronize
between the request and event thread.

Make stopOnAttach=False the default again and explicitly pass
stopOnAttach=True where the tests relies on that. I changed the default
in the launch sequence PR (#138219) because that was implicitly the
assumption (the tests never send the configurationDone request).

This converts a number of json::Value's into well defined types that are
used throughout lldb-dap and updates the 'launch' command to use the new
well defined types.

The debug adapter protocol supports an option to provide formatting
information for a stack frames as part of the StackTrace request.
lldb-dap incorrectly advertises it supports this, but until this PR that
support wasn't actually implemented.
Fixes#137057
Both spellings are considered correct and acceptable, with adapter being
more common in American English. Given that DAP stands for Debug Adapter
Protocol (with an e) let's go with that as the canonical spelling.
This adjusts the lldb-dap listening mode to accept multiple clients.
Each client initializes a new instance of DAP and an associated
`lldb::SBDebugger` instance.
The listening mode is configured with the `--connection` option and
supports listening on a port or a unix socket on supported platforms.
When running in server mode launch and attach performance should
be improved by lldb sharing symbols for core libraries between debug
sessions.
This commit adds support for column breakpoints to lldb-dap
To do so, support for the `breakpointLocations` request was
added. To find all available breakpoint positions, we iterate over
the line table.
The `setBreakpoints` request already forwarded the column correctly to
`SBTarget::BreakpointCreateByLocation`. However, `SourceBreakpointMap`
did not keep track of multiple breakpoints in the same line. To do so,
the `SourceBreakpointMap` is now indexed by line+column instead of by
line only.
This was previously submitted as #113787, but got reverted due to
failures on ARM and macOS. This second attempt has less strict test
case expectations. Also, I added a release note.

When running in constrained environments like docker, disabling ASLR
might fail with errors like:
```
AssertionError: False is not true : launch failed (Cannot launch
'/__w/.../lldb-dap/stackTrace/subtleFrames/TestDAP_subtleFrames.test_subtleFrames/a.out':
personality set failed: Operation not permitted)
```
E.g., https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/110303
Hence we already run `settings set target.disable-aslr false` as part of
the init-commands for the non-DAP tests (see
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/88312 and
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/running-lldb-in-a-container/76801).
But we never adjusted it for the DAP tests. As a result we get
conflicting test logs like:
```
{
"arguments": {
"commandEscapePrefix": null,
"disableASLR": true,
....
"initCommands": [
...
"settings set target.disable-aslr false",
```
Disabling ASLR by default in tests isn't useulf (it's only really a
debugging aid for users). So this patch sets `disableASLR=False` by
default.
The `enable` prefix is a filler word which adds no additional
information. Rename the setting to `displayExtendedBacktrace`
Given that this setting was only introduced a month ago, and that there
has not been any release since then, I assume that usage is still rather
low. As such, it should be fine to not provide backwards-compatibility
workarounds.
Refactoring `stackTrace` to perform frame look ups in a more on-demand
fashion to improve overall performance.
Additionally adding additional information to the `exceptionInfo`
request to report exception stacks there instead of merging the
exception stack into the stack trace. The `exceptionInfo` request is
only called if a stop event occurs with `reason='exception'`, which
should mitigate the performance of `SBThread::GetCurrentException`
calls.
Adding unit tests for exception handling and stack trace supporting.
Added support for "supportsInstructionBreakpoints" capability and now it
this command is triggered when we set instruction breakpoint.
We need this support as part of enabling disassembly view debugging.
Following features should work as part of this feature enablement:
1. Settings breakpoints in disassembly view: Unsetting the breakpoint is
not happening from the disassembly view. Currently we need to unset
breakpoint manually from the breakpoint List. Multiple breakpoints are
getting set for the same $
2. Step over, step into, continue in the disassembly view

Previously, when output like `"hello\nworld\n"` was produced by lldb (or
the process) the message would be sent as a single Output event. By
being a single event this causes VS Code to treat this as a single
message in the console when handling displaying and filtering in the
Debug Console.
Instead, with these changes we send each line as its own event. This
results in VS Code representing each line of output from lldb-dap as an
individual output message.
Resolves#105444
VS Code requests the `instruction` stepping granularity if the assembly
view is currently focused. By implementing `StepGranularity`, we can
hence properly single-step through assembly code.
Adding a "port" property to the VsCode "attach" command likely extends
the functionality of the debugger configuration to allow attaching to a
process using PID or PORT number.
Currently, the "Attach" configuration lets the user specify a pid. We
tell the user to use the attachCommands property to run "gdb-remote ".
Followed the below conditions for "attach" command with "port" and "pid"
We should add a "port" property. If port is specified and pid is not,
use that port to attach. If both port and pid are specified, return an
error saying that the user can't specify both pid and port.
Ex - launch.json
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "lldb-dap Debug",
"type": "lldb-dap",
"request": "attach",
"gdb-remote-port":1234,
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/a.out",
"args": [],
"stopOnEntry": false,
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"env": [],

This patch provides the initial implementation for the "Step Into
Specific/Step In Targets" feature in VSCode DAP.
The implementation disassembles all the call instructions in step range
and try to resolve operand name (assuming one operand) using debug info.
Later, the call target function name is chosen by end user and specified
in the StepInto() API call.
It is v1 because of using the existing step in target function name API.
This implementation has several limitations:
* Won't for indirect/virtual function call -- in most cases, our
disassembler won't be able to solve the indirect call target
address/name.
* Won't work for target function without debug info -- if the target
function has symbol but not debug info, the existing
ThreadPlanStepInRange won't stop.
* Relying on function names can be fragile -- if there is some middle
glue/thunk code, our disassembler can only resolve the glue/thunk code's
name not the real target function name. It can be fragile to depend
compiler/linker emits the same names for both.
* Does not support step into raw address call sites -- it is a valid
scenario that in Visual Studio debugger, user can explicitly choose a
raw address to step into which land in the function without debug
info/symbol, then choose UI to load the debug info on-demand for that
module/frame to continue exploring.
A more reliable design could be extending the ThreadPlanStepInRange to
support step in based on call-site instruction offset/PC which I will
propose in next iteration.

The timeout for this test was set to 1.0s which is very low, it should
be a default of 10s and be increased by a factor of 10 if ASAN is
enabled. This will help reduce the falkiness of the test, especially in
ASAN builds.
assertRegexpMatches is a deprecated alias for assertRegex and has been
removed in Python 3.12. This wasn't an issue previously because we used
a vendored version of the unittest module. Now that we use the built-in
version this gets updated together with the Python version used to run
the test suite.
This adds support for optionally prefixing any command with `?` and/or
`!`.
- `?` prevents the output of a commands to be printed to the console
unless it fails.
- `!` aborts the dap if the command fails.
They come in handy when programmatically running commands on behalf of
the user without wanting them to know unless they fail, or when a
critical setup is required as part of launchCommands and it's better to
abort on failures than to silently skip.
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/69238 caused breakage in
VSCode debug console usage -- the user's input is always treated as
commands instead of expressions (the same behavior as if empty command
escape prefix is specified).
The bug is in one overload of `GetString()` which did not respect the
default value of "\`". But more important, I am puzzled to find out why
the regression is not caught by lldb test (testdap_evaluate). Turns out
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/69238 specifies
commandEscapePrefix default value in test framework to be "\`" while
VSCode will default not specify any commandEscapePrefix at all. Changing
it to None will fail `testdap_evaluate`. We should align the default
behavior between DAP client and testcase.
This patches fixes the bug in `GetString()` and changed the default
value of commandEscapePrefix in testcases to be None (be consistent with
IDE).

Fix for https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/71897
When it comes to test infrastructure the test (TestDAP_variables.py:
test_scopes_variables_setVariable_evaluate_with_descriptive_summaries)
will fail if the variable has a summary along with value.
I just tried to add a summary to a variable before we set a value to the
variable using below expression from “request_setVariable” function.
RunLLDBCommands(llvm::StringRef(), {std::string("type summary add
--summary-string "{sample summary}" (const char **) argv")});
As value has nonnumeric characters where we are trying to convert into
integer, python is throwing an error. We did not see this issue in
upstream as we are not adding summary explicitly, by default we are
getting empty summary & value for all children’s of argv parameter (even
after auto summary).
The test is failing with below error:

When this option gets enabled, descriptions of threads will be generated
using the format provided in the launch configuration instead of
generating it manually in the dap code. This allows lldb-dap to show an
output similar to the one in the CLI.
This is very similar to https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/71843

We've been using the backtick as our escape character, however that
leads to a weird experience on VS Code, because on most hosts, as soon
as you type the backtick on VS Code, the IDE will introduce another
backtick. As changing the default escape character might be out of
question because other plugins might rely on it, we can instead
introduce an option to change this variable upon lldb-vscode
initialization.
FWIW, my users will be using : instead ot the backtick.
