The repository is being switched from the personal account
github.com/derekparker/delve to the organization account
github.com/go-delve/delve. This patch updates imports and docs, while
preserving things which should not be changed such as my name in the
CHANGELOG and in TODO comments.
Users can create sparse maps in two ways, either by:
a) adding lots of entries to a map and then deleting most of them, or
b) using the make(mapType, N) expression with a very large N
When this happens reading the resulting map will be very slow
because loadMap needs to scan many buckets for each entry it finds.
Technically this is not a bug, the user just created a map that's
very sparse and therefore very slow to read. However it's very
annoying to have the debugger hang for several seconds when trying
to read the local variables just because one of them (which you
might not even be interested into) happens to be a very sparse map.
There is an easy mitigation to this problem: not reading any
additional buckets once we know that we have already read all
entries of the map, or as many entries as we need to fulfill the
MaxArrayValues parameter.
Unfortunately this is mostly useless, a VLSM (Very Large Sparse Map)
with a single entry will still be slow to access, because the single
entry in the map could easily end up in the last bucket.
The obvious solution to this problem is to set a limit to the
number of buckets we read when loading a map. However there is no
good way to set this limit.
If we hardcode it there will be no way to print maps that are beyond
whatever limit we pick.
We could let users (or clients) specify it but the meaning of such
knob would be arcane and they would have no way of picking a good
value (because there is no objectively good value for it).
The solution used in this commit is to set an arbirtray limit on
the number of buckets we read but only when loadMap is invoked
through API calls ListLocalVars and ListFunctionArgs. In this way
`ListLocalVars` and `ListFunctionArgs` (which are often invoked
automatically by GUI clients) remain fast even in presence of a
VLSM, but the contents of the VLSM can still be inspected using
`EvalVariable`.
This patch allows the `trace` CLI subcommand to display return values of
a function. Additionally, it will also display information on where the
function exited, which could also be helpful in determining the path
taken during function execution.
Fixes#388
Adds -defer flag to the stack command that decorates the stack traces
by associating each stack frame with its deferred calls.
Reworks proc.next to use this feature instead of using proc.DeferPC,
laying the groundwork to implement #1240.
Adds a configuration option (show-location-expr) that when activated
will cause the whatis command to also print the DWARF location
expression for a variable.
Conditional breakpoints with unmet conditions would cause next and step
to skip the line.
This breakpoint changes the Kind field of proc.Breakpoint from a single
value to a bit field, each breakpoint object can represent
simultaneously a user breakpoint and one internal breakpoint (of which
we have several different kinds).
The breakpoint condition for internal breakpoints is stored in the new
internalCond field of proc.Breakpoint so that it will not conflict with
user specified conditions.
The breakpoint setting code is changed to allow overlapping one
internal breakpoint on a user breakpoint, or a user breakpoint on an
existing internal breakpoint. All other combinations are rejected. The
breakpoint clearing code is changed to clear the UserBreakpoint bit and
only remove the phisical breakpoint if no other bits are set in the
Kind field. ClearInternalBreakpoints does the same thing but clearing
all bits that aren't the UserBreakpoint bit.
Fixes#844
gosymtab and gopclntab only contain informations about go code, linked
C code isn't there, we should use debug_line instead to also cover C.
Updates #935
Splits out type parsing and go-specific Type hierarchy from
x/debug/dwarf, replace x/debug/dwarf with debug/dwarf everywhere,
remove x/debug/dwarf from vendoring.
* Fix various issues detected by megacheck
I've ran honnef.co/go/tools/cmd/megacheck and fixed a few of the
things that came up there.
* Cleanup using Gogland
- moved target.Interface into proc as proc.Process
- rename proc.IThread to proc.Thread
- replaced interfaces DisassembleInfo, Continuable and
EvalScopeConvertible with Process.
- removed superfluous Gdbserver prefix from types in the gdbserial
backend.
- removed superfluous Core prefix from types in the core backend.
* tests: update to cope with go1.7 SSA compiler
* de-vendored golang.org/x/debug/dwarf
We need our own tweaked version
* dwarf/debug/dwarf: always use the entry's name attribute
Using the name attribute leads to better type names as well as fixes
inconsistencies between 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7.
* proc: Updated loadInterface to work with go1.7
go1.7 changed the internal representation of types, removing the string
field from runtime._type.
Updated loadInterface to use the new str field.
* service/api: Removed unused fields of service/api.Function
* proc/eval: Set return variable name to input expression
* all: fine-grained control of loadValue for better variable printing
Makes proc.(*Variable).loadValue loading parameters configurable
through one extra argument of type LoadConfig.
This interface is also exposed through the API so clients can control
how much of a variable delve should read.
Typedefs that resolve to slices are not recorded in DWARF as typedefs
but instead as structs in a way that there is no way to know they
are really slices using debug/dwarf.
Using golang.org/x/debug/dwarf instead this problem is solved and
as a bonus some types are printed with a nicer names: (struct string
→ string, struct []int → []int, etc)
Fixes#356 and #293
Next sets its temporary breakpoints with the condition that they
must only activate on the current goroutine, and then calls Continue
When Continue encounters a temporary breakpoint it clears all
the breakpoint.
User visible changes: breakpoints that get hit while executing Next
are not ignored.
This commit does not implement full conditional breakpoints
functionality, the only condition that can be set is on the
goroutine id.
Fixes race conditions in Next affecting TestNextConcurrent.
Supported operators:
- All (binary and unary) operators between basic types except <-,
++ and -- (includes & to take the address of an expression)
- Comparison operators between supported compound types
- Typecast of integer constants into pointer types
- struct members
- indexing of arrays, slices and strings
- slicing of arrays, slices and strings
- pointer dereferencing
- true, false and nil constants
Implements #116, #117 and #251
Three locations are returned for goroutines: its current location,
its current location excluding unexported runtime functions and
the location of its go instruction.
The command 'goroutines' takes a new parameter to select which
location to print (defaulting to current location w/o runtime)
Previously either the terminal client or the debugger service would
either lock main goroutine to a thread or provide a locked goroutine to
run _all_ DebuggedProcess functions in. This is unnecessary because only
ptrace functions need to be run from the same thread that originated the
PT_ATTACH request.
Here we use a specific thread-locked goroutine to service any ptrace
request. That goroutine is also responsible for the initial spawning /
attaching of the process, since it must be responsible for the PT_ATTACH
request.
