are supported by the remote GDB target. We can also now deal with the lack of
vCont support and send packets that the remote GDB stub can use. We also error
out of the continue if LLDB tries to do something too complex when vCont isn't
supported.

(lldb) process connect <remote-url>
Currently when you specify a file with the file command it helps us to find
a process plug-in that is suitable for debugging. If you specify a file you
can rely upon this to find the correct debugger plug-in:
% lldb a.out
Current executable set to 'a.out' (x86_64).
(lldb) process connect connect://localhost:2345
...
If you don't specify a file, you will need to specify the plug-in name that
you wish to use:
% lldb
(lldb) process connect --plugin process.gdb-remote connect://localhost:2345
Other connection URL examples:
(lldb) process connect connect://localhost:2345
(lldb) process connect tcp://127.0.0.1
(lldb) process connect file:///dev/ttyS1
We are currently treating the "connect://host:port" as a way to do raw socket
connections. If there is a URL for this already, please let me know and we
will adopt it.
So now you can connect to a remote debug server with the ProcessGDBRemote
plug-in. After connection, it will ask for the pid info using the "qC" packet
and if it responds with a valid process ID, it will be equivalent to attaching.
If it response with an error or invalid process ID, the LLDB process will be
in a new state: eStateConnected. This allows us to then download a program or
specify the program to run (using the 'A' packet), or specify a process to
attach to (using the "vAttach" packets), or query info about the processes
that might be available.

sessions: When continue packet has been sent and an interrupt packet was
quickly sent, it would get read at the same time:
$c#00\x03
There was an error where the packet end index was always being computed
incorrectly by debugserver, but it wouldn't matter if there weren't extra
bytes on the end (the hex \x03 interrupt byte in this case). The first
'$' last 3 bytes of the data in the packet buffer were being trimmed
(trying to trim the '#' + checksum (#XX)) which made:
c#
And this would then be passed to the handle routine for the 'c' packet which
would see an extra character at the end and assume it was going to be in the
form c[addr] where "[addr]" was a hex address to resume at and this would
result in a malformed packet response. This is now fixed and everything works
great.
Another issue was issuing async packets correctly by doing correct handshakes
between the thread that wants to send the async packet, and the thread that
is tracking the current run.
Added a write lock to the communication class as well to make sure you never
get two threads trying to write data at the same time. This wasn't happening,
but it is a good idea to make sure it doesn't.
llvm-svn: 124369
takes separate file handles for stdin, stdout, and stder and also allows for
the working directory to be specified.
Added support to "process launch" to a new option: --working-dir=PATH. We
can now set the working directory. If this is not set, it defaults to that
of the process that has LLDB loaded. Added the working directory to the
host LaunchInNewTerminal function to allows the current working directory
to be set in processes that are spawned in their own terminal. Also hooked this
up to the lldb_private::Process and all mac plug-ins. The linux plug-in had its
API changed, but nothing is making use of it yet. Modfied "debugserver" and
"darwin-debug" to also handle the current working directory options and modified
the code in LLDB that spawns these tools to pass the info along.
Fixed ProcessGDBRemote to properly pass along all file handles for stdin, stdout
and stderr.
After clearing the default values for the stdin/out/err file handles for
process to be NULL, we had a crasher in UserSettingsController::UpdateStringVariable
which is now fixed. Also fixed the setting of boolean values to be able to
be set as "true", "yes", "on", "1" for true (case insensitive) and "false", "no",
"off", or "0" for false.
Fixed debugserver to properly handle files for STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR that are not
already opened. Previous to this fix debugserver would only correctly open and dupe
file handles for the slave side of a pseudo terminal. It now correctly handles
getting STDIN for the inferior from a file, and spitting STDOUT and STDERR out to
files. Also made sure the file handles were correctly opened with the NOCTTY flag
for terminals.

checking the validity of the shared pointer prior to using it.
Fixed the GDB remote plug-in to once again watch for a reply from the "k"
packet, and fixed the logic to make sure the thread requesting the kill
and the async thread play nice (and very quickly) by synchronizing the
packet sending and reply. I also tweaked some of the shut down packet
("k" kill, "D" detach, and the halt packet) to make sure they do the right
thing.
Fixed "StateType Process::WaitForProcessStopPrivate (...)" to correctly pass
the timeout along to WaitForStateChangedEventsPrivate() and made the function
behave correctly with respect to timing out.
Added separate STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR support to debugserver. Also added
the start of being able to set the working directory for the inferior process.
llvm-svn: 124049
threads that we spawn let us know when they are going away and that we
don't timeout waiting for a message from threads that have gone away.
We also now don't expect the "k" packet (kill) to send a response. This
greatly speeds up debugger shutdown performance. The test suite now runs
quite a bit faster.
Added a fix to the variable display code that fixes the display of
base classes. We were assuming the virtual or normal base class offsets
were being given in bit sizes, but they were being given as character
sizes, so we needed to multiply the offset by 8. This wasn't affecting
the expression parser, but it was affecting the correct display of C++
class base classes and all of their children.

we are requesting a single thread to run. May seem like a silly thing to do, but the kernel
on MacOS X will inject new threads into a program willy-nilly, and I would like to keep them

llvm-svn: 124018
while the inferior is running) to be fast. The previous code would always
cause the sender to timeout, yet still return success due to the way we
were waiting for a value (incorrect value) to change. Now the ProcessGDBRemote
plug-in has a public and private "is running" predicate. This allows things
that need to send async packets to interrupt and wait for the private "is running"
state to be flipped to false, and then resume quickly with no timeout.
llvm-svn: 123903
I added support for asking if the GDB remote server supports thread suffixes
for packets that should be thread specific (register read/write packets) because
the way the GDB remote protocol does it right now is to have a notion of a
current thread for register and memory reads/writes (set via the "$Hg%x" packet)
and a current thread for running ("$Hc%x"). Now we ask the remote GDB server
if it supports adding the thread ID to the register packets and we enable
that feature in LLDB if supported. This stops us from having to send a bunch
of packets that update the current thread ID to some value which is prone to
error, or extra packets.
llvm-svn: 123762
the way LLDB lazily gets complete definitions for types within the debug info.
When we run across a class/struct/union definition in the DWARF, we will only
parse the full definition if we need to. This works fine for top level types
that are assigned directly to variables and arguments, but when we have a
variable with a class, lets say "A" for this example, that has a member:
"B *m_b". Initially we don't need to hunt down a definition for this class
unless we are ever asked to do something with it ("expr m_b->getDecl()" for
example). With my previous approach to lazy type completion, we would be able
to take a "A *a" and get a complete type for it, but we wouldn't be able to
then do an "a->m_b->getDecl()" unless we always expanded all types within a
class prior to handing out the type. Expanding everything is very costly and
it would be great if there were a better way.
A few months ago I worked with the llvm/clang folks to have the
ExternalASTSource class be able to complete classes if there weren't completed
yet:
class ExternalASTSource {
....
virtual void
CompleteType (clang::TagDecl *Tag);
virtual void
CompleteType (clang::ObjCInterfaceDecl *Class);
};
This was great, because we can now have the class that is producing the AST
(SymbolFileDWARF and SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap) sign up as external AST sources
and the object that creates the forward declaration types can now also
complete them anywhere within the clang type system.
This patch makes a few major changes:
- lldb_private::Module classes now own the AST context. Previously the TypeList
objects did.
- The DWARF parsers now sign up as an external AST sources so they can complete
types.
- All of the pure clang type system wrapper code we have in LLDB (ClangASTContext,
ClangASTType, and more) can now be iterating through children of any type,
and if a class/union/struct type (clang::RecordType or ObjC interface)
is found that is incomplete, we can ask the AST to get the definition.
- The SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap class now will create and use a single AST that
all child SymbolFileDWARF classes will share (much like what happens when
we have a complete linked DWARF for an executable).
We will need to modify some of the ClangUserExpression code to take more
advantage of this completion ability in the near future. Meanwhile we should
be better off now that we can be accessing any children of variables through
pointers and always be able to resolve the clang type if needed.

by LLDB. Instead of being materialized into the input structure
passed to the expression, variables are left in place and pointers
to them are materialzied into the structure. Variables not resident
in memory (notably, registers) get temporary memory regions allocated
for them.
Persistent variables are the most complex part of this, because they
are made in various ways and there are different expectations about
their lifetime. Persistent variables now have flags indicating their
status and what the expectations for longevity are. They can be
marked as residing in target memory permanently -- this is the
default for result variables from expressions entered on the command
line and for explicitly declared persistent variables (but more on
that below). Other result variables have their memory freed.
Some major improvements resulting from this include being able to
properly take the address of variables, better and cleaner support
for functions that return references, and cleaner C++ support in
general. One problem that remains is the problem of explicitly
declared persistent variables; I have not yet implemented the code
that makes references to them into indirect references, so currently
materialization and dematerialization of these variables is broken.

a method:
void RegisterContext::InvalidateIfNeeded (bool force);
Each time this function is called, when "force" is false, it will only call
the pure virtual "virtual void RegisterContext::InvalideAllRegisters()" if
the register context's stop ID doesn't match that of the process. When the
stop ID doesn't match, or "force" is true, the base class will clear its
cached registers and the RegisterContext will update its stop ID to match
that of the process. This helps make it easier to correctly flush the register
context (possibly from multiple locations depending on when and where new
registers are availabe) without inadvertently clearing the register cache
when it doesn't need to be.
Modified the ProcessGDBRemote plug-in to be much more efficient when it comes
to:
- caching the expedited registers in the stop reply packets (we were ignoring
these before and it was causing us to read at least three registers every
time we stopped that were already supplied in the stop reply packet).
- When a thread has no stop reason, don't keep asking for the thread stopped
info. Prior to this fix we would continually send a qThreadStopInfo packet
over and over when any thread stop info was requested. We now note the stop
ID that the stop info was requested for and avoid multiple requests.
Cleaned up some of the expression code to not look for ClangExpressionVariable
objects up by name since they are now shared pointers and we can just look for
the exact pointer match and avoid possible errors.
Fixed an bug in the ValueObject code that would cause children to not be
displayed.
llvm-svn: 123127
new "hexname" key for the "key:value;" duple that is part of the packet. This
allows for thread names to contain special characters such as $ # : ; + -
Debugserver now detects if the thread name contains special characters and
sends the chars in hex format if needed.
llvm-svn: 123053
an issue with the way the UnwindLLDB was handing out RegisterContexts: it
was making shared pointers to register contexts and then handing out just
the pointers (which would get put into shared pointers in the thread and
stack frame classes) and cause double free issues. MallocScribble helped to
find these issues after I did some other cleanup. To help avoid any
RegisterContext issue in the future, all code that deals with them now
returns shared pointers to the register contexts so we don't end up with
multiple deletions. Also now that the RegisterContext class doesn't require
a stack frame, we patched a memory leak where a StackFrame object was being
created and leaked.
Made the RegisterContext class not have a pointer to a StackFrame object as
one register context class can be used for N inlined stack frames so there is
not a 1 - 1 mapping. Updates the ExecutionContextScope part of the
RegisterContext class to never return a stack frame to indicate this when it
is asked to recreate the execution context. Now register contexts point to the
concrete frame using a concrete frame index. Concrete frames are all of the
frames that are actually formed on the stack of a thread. These concrete frames
can be turned into one or more user visible frames due to inlining. Each
inlined stack frame has the exact same register context (shared via shared
pointers) as any parent inlined stack frames all the way up to the concrete
frame itself.
So now the stack frames and the register contexts should behave much better.

have children sections).
Modified SectionLoadList to do it's own multi-threaded protected on its map.
The ThreadSafeSTLMap class was difficult to deal with and wasn't providing
much utility, it was only getting in the way.
Make sure when the communication read thread is about to exit, it clears the
thread in the main class.
Fixed the ModuleList to correctly ignore architectures and UUIDs if they aren't
valid when searching for a matching module. If we specified a file with no arch,
and then modified the file and loaded it again, it would not match on subsequent
searches if the arch was invalid since it would compare an invalid architecture
to the one that was found or selected within the shared library or executable.
This was causing stale modules to stay around in the global module list when they
should have been removed.
Removed deprecated functions from the DynamicLoaderMacOSXDYLD class.
Modified "ProcessGDBRemote::IsAlive" to check if we are connected to a gdb
server and also make sure our process hasn't exited.

do. Closing on EOF is an option that can be set on the
lldb_private::Communication or the lldb::SBCommunication objects after they
are created. Of course the EOF support isn't hooked up, so they don't do
anything at the moment, but they are left in so when the code is fixed, it
will be easy to get working again.
llvm-svn: 120885
inferior to be launched without setting up terminal stdin/stdout for it
(leaving the lldb command line accessible while the program is executing).
Also add a user settings variable, 'target.process.disable-stdio' to allow
the user to set this globally rather than having to use the command option
each time the process is launched.

an error saying the resume timed out. Previously the thread that was trying
to resume the process would eventually call ProcessGDBRemote::DoResume() which
would broadcast an event over to the async GDB remote thread which would sent the
continue packet to the remote gdb server. Right after this was sent, it would
set a predicate boolean value (protected by a mutex and condition) and then the
thread that issued the ProcessGDBRemote::DoResume() would then wait for that
condition variable to be set. If the async gdb thread was too quick though, the
predicate boolean value could have been set to true and back to false by the
time the thread that issued the ProcessGDBRemote::DoResume() checks the boolean
value. So we can't use the predicate value as a handshake. I have changed the code
over to using a Event by having the GDB remote communication object post an
event:
GDBRemoteCommunication::eBroadcastBitRunPacketSent
This allows reliable handshaking between the two threads and avoids the erroneous
ProcessGDBRemote::DoResume() errors.
Added a host backtrace service to allow in process backtraces when trying to track
down tricky issues. I need to see if LLVM has any backtracing abilities abstracted
in it already, and if so, use that, but I needed something ASAP for the current issue
I was working on. The static function is:
void
Host::Backtrace (Stream &strm, uint32_t max_frames);
And it will backtrace at most "max_frames" frames for the current thread and can be
used with any of the Stream subclasses for logging.

Add bool member to Communication class indicating whether the
Connection should be closed on receiving an EOF or not. Update the
Connection read to return an EOF status when appropriate. Modify the
Communication class to pass the EOF along or not, and to close the
Connection or not, as appropriate.

changing it to use it. There was an extra parameter added to the static
accessor global user settings controllers that wasn't needed. A bool was being
used as a parameter to the accessor just so it could be used to clean up
the global user settings controller which is now fixed by splitting up the
initialization into the "static void Class::Initialize()", access into the
"static UserSettingsControllerSP & Class::GetSettingsController()", and
cleanup into "static void Class::Terminate()".
Also added initialize and terminate calls to the logging code to avoid issues
when LLDB is shutting down. There were cases after the logging was switched
over to use shared pointers where we could crash if the global destructor
chain was being run and it causes the log to be destroyed and any any logging
occurred.
