In #168245, I attempted to dump the available settings to Markdown. That
required a full build of LLDB. However, to build the docs, only the swig
wrappers should need to be compiled. The comment was that we should be
able to use the definitions from the TableGen files.
Currently, the property definitions in don't have information about the
path where they will be available. They only contain a `Definition`
which groups properties, so they can be added to
`OptionValueProperties`.
With this PR, I'm adding the path for each property definition. For
example, `symbols.enable-external-lookup` would have `Name =
enable-external-lookup, Path = symbols`. In LLDB itself, we don't need
this path, we only need it for the documentation. To avoid mismatches
between the actual path and the declared one, I added a debug-only check
when a property group is added to a parent
(`OptionValueProperties::AppendProperty`).
The TableGen emitter for the properties now additionally emits
`g_{definition}_properties_def`, which includes both the array of
properties and the expected path. This constant has to be used to
initialize a `OptionValueProperties`.
I couldn't test this for everything (e.g. IntelPT or ProcessKDP), but
the necessary changes are simple: (1) set the `Path` in the TableGen
file, (2) update `initialize` to use `_def`.
When the command interpreter is asked to not echo commands but still
print errors, a user has no idea what command caused the error.
For example, when I add `bogus` in my `~/.lldbinit`:
```
$ lldb
error: 'bogus' is not a valid command.
```
Things are even more confusing when we have inline diagnostics, which
point to nothing. For example, when I add `settings set target.run-args
-foo` to my `~/.lldbinit`:
```
❯ lldb
˄˜˜˜
╰─ error: unknown or ambiguous option
```
We should still echo the command if the command fails, making it obvious
which command caused the failure and fixing the inline diagnostics.
Fixes#171514
This commit leaves "b" aliased to the old _regexp-break for now. The two
variants are identical except that `_regexp-break` allows you to say:
`(lldb) b <unrecognized_input>
`
which gets translated to:
`break set <unrecognized_input>
`
So switching people to `_regexp-break-add` would be a surprising
behavior change. It would be wrong for `_regexp_break-add` have one
branch that call `break set`, so to avoid surprise, I'll add the command
and let people who are playing with `break add` instead of `break set`
can set the alias to the new one by hand for now.
We follow LLVM's style guide for diagnostics, which instructs to start
the first sentence with a lowercase letter, and finish the last sentence
without a period, if it would end in one otherwise.
Remove `CommandReturnObject::AppendRawError` and replace its two uses
with `AppendError`, which correctly prefixes the message with `error:`.
The comment for the method is outdated and the prefixing is clearly
desired in both situations.
Actually emit a warning, rather than an error, when there's an .lldbinit
file in the current directly. Currently, the message is prepended by
"error" which looks rather odd, as the warning refers to itself as a
warning.
The LLVM Style Guide says the following about error and warning messages
[1]:
> [T]o match error message styles commonly produced by other tools,
> start the first sentence with a lowercase letter, and finish the last
> sentence without a period, if it would end in one otherwise.
I often provide this feedback during code review, but we still have a
bunch of places where we have inconsistent error message, which bothers
me as a user. This PR identifies a handful of those places and updates
the messages to be consistent.

This adjusts the ProtocolServer command to default to create a new
connection listening on `localhost:0` and adds a new `ServerMetadata`
details to `~/.lldb/mcp/lldb-<pid>.json` to record information about the
current MCP server.
This can be consumed by the lldb-mcp binary to establish a connection
from an LLM client.

Introduces `_regexp-step`, a step command which additionally allows for
stepping into a target function. This change updates `step` and `s` to
be aliases for `_regexp-step`.
The existing `sif` alias ("Step Into Function") is not well known
amongst users. This change updates `step` and `s` to also work like
`sif`, taking an optional function name.
This is implemented to not break uses of `step` or `s` with a flag, for
example running `step -r func_to_avoid` works as expected.
This is a continuation of 68fd102, which did the same thing but only for
StopInfo. Using make_shared is both safer and more efficient:
- With make_shared, the object and the control block are allocated
together, which is more efficient.
- With make_shared, the enable_shared_from_this base class is properly
linked to the control block before the constructor finishes, so
shared_from_this() will be safe to use (though still not recommended
during construction).
`(lldb) b` can be used in two different ways:
1. Running `b` without arguments, it lists all existing breakpoints.
2. Running `b` with arguments, it adds breakpoints.
However, the help message doesn't mention the first use case. This patch
adds help message to mention it.
**Without patch**:
```
(lldb) help b
Set a breakpoint using one of several shorthand formats. Expects 'raw' input (see 'help raw-input'.)
Syntax:
_regexp-break <filename>:<linenum>:<colnum>
main.c:12:21 // Break at line 12 and column 21 of main.c
...
```
**With patch**:
```
(lldb) help b
Set a breakpoint using one of several shorthand formats, or list the
existing breakpoints if no arguments are provided. Expects 'raw' input
(see 'help raw-input'.)
Syntax:
_regexp-break <filename>:<linenum>:<colnum>
main.c:12:21 // Break at line 12 and column 21 of main.c
...
_regexp-break
// List the existing breakpoints
```
This PR adds an MCP (Model Context Protocol ) server to LLDB. For
motivation and background, please refer to the corresponding RFC:
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-adding-mcp-support-to-lldb/86798
I implemented this as a new kind of plugin. The idea is that we could
support multiple protocol servers (e.g. if we want to support DAP from
within LLDB). This also introduces a corresponding top-level command
(`protocol-server`) with two subcommands to `start` and `stop` the
server.
```
(lldb) protocol-server start MCP tcp://localhost:1234
MCP server started with connection listeners: connection://[::1]:1234, connection://[127.0.0.1]:1234
```
The MCP sever supports one tool (`lldb_command`) which executes a
command, but can easily be extended with more commands.
Use the current frame's language to lookup commands provided by language plugins.
This means commands like `language {objc,cplusplus} <command>` can be used directly, without using the `language <lang>` prefix.
For example, when stopped on a C++ frame, `demangle _Z1fv` will run `language cplusplus demangle _Z1fv`.

Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/22981
If `settings set use-color` is changed when lldb is running it does not take effect.
This is fixes that.

This patch improves the synchronization of the debugger's output and error
streams using two new abstractions: `LockableStreamFile` and
`LockedStreamFile`.
- `LockableStreamFile` is a wrapper around a `StreamFile` and a mutex. Client
cannot use the `StreamFile` without calling `Lock`, which returns a
`LockedStreamFile`.
- `LockedStreamFile` is an RAII object that locks the stream for the duration
of its existence. As long as you hold on to the returned object you are
permitted to write to the stream. The destruction of the object
automatically flush the output stream.
This makes GetOutputStreamSP and GetErrorStreamSP protected members of
Debugger. Users who want to print to the debugger's stream should use
GetAsyncOutputStreamSP and GetAsyncErrorStreamSP instead and the few
remaining stragglers have been migrated.
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.
rdar://141254310
As suggested in #125006. Depending on which PR lands first, I'll update
`TestCommandInterepterPrintCallback.py` to check that the
`CommandReturnObject` passed to the callback has the correct command.
This reverts commit a774de807e56c1147d4630bfec3110c11d41776e.
This is the same changes as last time, plus:
* We load the binary into the target object so that on Windows, we can
resolve the locations of the functions.
* We now assert that each required breakpoint has at least 1 location,
to prevent an issue like that in the future.
* We are less strict about the unsupported error message, because it
prints "error: windows" on Windows instead of "error: gdb-remote".

Reverting while I reproduce locally.
This reverts commit 22561cfb443267905d4190f0e2a738e6b412457f and fixes
b7b9ccf44988edf49886743ae5c3cf4184db211f (#112079).
The problem is that x86_64 and Arm 32-bit have memory regions above the
stack that are readable but not writeable. First Arm:
```
(lldb) memory region --all
<...>
[0x00000000fffcf000-0x00000000ffff0000) rw- [stack]
[0x00000000ffff0000-0x00000000ffff1000) r-x [vectors]
[0x00000000ffff1000-0xffffffffffffffff) ---
```
Then x86_64:
```
$ cat /proc/self/maps
<...>
7ffdcd148000-7ffdcd16a000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack]
7ffdcd193000-7ffdcd196000 r--p 00000000 00:00 0 [vvar]
7ffdcd196000-7ffdcd197000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso]
ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff601000 --xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vsyscall]
```
Compare this to AArch64 where the test did pass:
```
$ cat /proc/self/maps
<...>
ffffb87dc000-ffffb87dd000 r--p 00000000 00:00 0 [vvar]
ffffb87dd000-ffffb87de000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso]
ffffb87de000-ffffb87e0000 r--p 0002a000 00:3c 76927217 /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1
ffffb87e0000-ffffb87e2000 rw-p 0002c000 00:3c 76927217 /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1
fffff4216000-fffff4237000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack]
```
To solve this, look up the memory region of the stack pointer (using
https://lldb.llvm.org/resources/lldbgdbremote.html#qmemoryregioninfo-addr)
and constrain the read to within that region. Since we know the stack is
all readable and writeable.
I have also added skipIfRemote to the tests, since getting them working
in that context is too complex to be worth it.
Memory write failures now display the range they tried to write, and
register write errors will show the name of the register where possible.
The patch also includes a workaround for a an issue where the test code
could mistake an `x` response that happens to begin with an `O` for an
output packet (stdout). This workaround will not be necessary one we
start using the [new
implementation](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-fixing-incompatibilties-of-the-x-packet-w-r-t-gdb/84288)
of the `x` packet.

This commit adds support for a
`SBProcess::ContinueInDirection()` API. A user-accessible command for
this will follow in a later commit.
This feature depends on a gdbserver implementation (e.g. `rr`) providing
support for the `bc` and `bs` packets. `lldb-server` does not support
those packets, and there is no plan to change that. For testing
purposes, this commit adds a Python implementation of *very limited*
record-and-reverse-execute functionality, implemented as a proxy between
lldb and lldb-server in `lldbreverse.py`. This should not (and in
practice cannot) be used for anything except testing.
The tests here are quite minimal but we test that simple breakpoints and
watchpoints work as expected during reverse execution, and that
conditional breakpoints and watchpoints work when the condition calls a
function that must be executed in the forward direction.
In particular, this allows `bt -u`.
Note that this passthrough behavior has precedent in `_regexp-break`,
where `b (-.*)` is expanded to `breakpoint set %1`.
Heterogenous lookups allow us to call find with StringRef, avoiding a
temporary heap allocation of std::string. Note that CommandMap just
started accepting heterogeneous lookups (#115634).
The changes in 461f859a72 (llvm/llvm-project#65974) resulted in a change
in behavior not just for completion, but also for selection of inexect
commands.
Since many use `e` to mean `expression`, this change adds an alias for
`e`. Note that the referenced change similarly aliases `h` to `help`.
This allows IDEs to render LLDB expression diagnostics to their liking
without relying on characterprecise ASCII art from LLDB. It is exposed
as a versioned SBStructuredData object, since it is expected that this
may need to be tweaked based on actual usage.
Reverting this again; I added a commit which added @skipIfDarwin
markers to the TestReverseContinueBreakpoints.py and
TestReverseContinueNotSupported.py API tests, which use lldb-server
in gdbserver mode which does not work on Darwin. But the aarch64 ubuntu
bot reported a failure on TestReverseContinueBreakpoints.py,

Somewhat recently, we made the change to hide the behavior to save LLDB
session history to the transcript buffer behind the flag
`interpreter.save-transcript`. By default, `interpreter.save-transcript`
is false. See #90703 for context.
I'm making a small update here to our `session save` messaging and some
help docs to clarify for users that aren't aware of this change. Maybe
`interpreter.save-transcript` could be true by default as well. Any
feedback welcome.

This patch is a reworking of Pete Lawrence's (@PortalPete) proposal
for better expression evaluator error messages:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/80938
Before:
```
$ lldb -o "expr a+b"
(lldb) expr a+b
error: <user expression 0>:1:1: use of undeclared identifier 'a'
a+b
^
error: <user expression 0>:1:3: use of undeclared identifier 'b'
a+b
^
```
After:
```
(lldb) expr a+b
^ ^
│ ╰─ error: use of undeclared identifier 'b'
╰─ error: use of undeclared identifier 'a'
```
This eliminates the confusing `<user expression 0>:1:3` source
location and avoids echoing the expression to the console again, which
results in a cleaner presentation that makes it easier to grasp what's
going on. You can't see it here, bug the word "error" is now also in
color, if so desired.
Depends on https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/106442.
