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`.
Some tests used a fake vendor directory placed inside _fixtures to
import some support packages.
In go.mod mode vendor directory are only supported on the root of the
project, which breaks some of our tests.
Since vendor directories outside the root of the project are so rare
anyway it's possible that a future version of go will stop supporting
it even in GOPATH mode.
Also it was weird and unnecessary in the first place anyawy.
Support for position independent executables (PIE) on the native linux
backend, the gdbserver backend on linux and the core backend.
Also implemented in the windows native backend, but it can't be tested
because go doesn't support PIE on windows yet.
With this syntax users do not need to type the concrete type of an
interface variable to access its contents. This also sidesteps the
problem where the serialization of a type by go/printer is different
from the one used for debug_info type names.
Updates #1328
Go allows converting a single integer value to string, resulting in a
string containing a single unicode rune with the same code as the value
of the integer.
Allow the same conversion to happen.
Fixes#1322
Normally variables that have a named struct as a type will get a
typedef entry as their type, sometimes however the Go linker will
decide to use the DW_TAG_structure_type entry instead.
For consistency always wrap a struct type into a typedef when we are
creating a new variables (see comment in newVariable for exceptions).
This fixes a bug where it would be impossible to call methods on a
global variable.
Evaluates var.method expressions into a variable holding the
corresponding method with the receiver variable as a child, in
preparation for extending CallFunction so that it can call methods.
Changes (*Variable).setValue so that it can be used in CallFunction to
set up the argument frame for the function call, adding the ability to:
- nil nillable types
- set strings to the empty string
- copy from one structure to another (including strings and slices)
- convert any interface type to interface{}
- convert pointer shaped types (map, chan, pointers, and structs
consisting of a single pointer field) to interface{}
This covers all cases where an assignment statement can be evaluated
without allocating memory or calling functions in the target process.
Implements the function call injection protocol introduced in go 1.11
by https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/109699.
This is only the basic support, see TODO comments in pkg/proc/fncall.go
for a list of missing features.
Updates #119
If the application being debugged imports two packages with the same
name (but different paths) there was no way to disambiguate the two,
since the character '/' can not appear inside a go identifier.
By allowing users to use a string literal as the package name a package
path can be specified.
Change the linux verison of proc/native and proc/gdbserial (with
debugserver) so that they let the target process use the terminal when
delve is launched in headless mode.
Windows already worked, proc/gdbserial (with rr) already worked.
I couldn't find a way to make proc/gdbserial (with lldb-server) work.
No tests are added because I can't think of a way to test for
foregroundness of a process.
Fixes#65
debug_info entries can use DW_AT_abstract_origin to inherit the
attributes of another entry, supporting this attribute is necessary to
support DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine.
Go, starting with 1.10, emits DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine entries when
inlining is enabled.
Much like the bug in issue #1031 and commit
f6f6f0bf13e4c708cb501202b83a6327a0f00e31 pointers can also escape to
the heap and then have a zero address (and no children) when we
autodereference.
1. Mark autodereferenced escaped variables with a 0 address as
unreadable.
2. Add guards to the pretty printers for unsafe.Pointer and pointers.
Fixes#1075
Replace the unsafe.Pointer type of the buf field of channels with the
appropriate array type, allow expressions accessing member field of the
channel struct.
Fixes#962
* string to []rune
* string to []byte
* []rune to string
* []byte to string
* any pointer to uintptr
The string, []rune, []byte conversion pairs aligns this to the go
language.
The pointer -> uintptr conversion pair is symmetric to the uintptr ->
pointer that we already have.
Also lets the user specify any size for byte array types instead of
just the ones already used by the program, this can be used to read
arbitrary memory.
Fixes#548, #867
Before go1.9 embedded struct fields had name == "" in runtime and ==
type name in DWARF. After go1.9 both runtime and DWARF use a simplified
version of the type as name.
Embedded structs are distinguished from normal fields by setting a flag
in the runtime.structfield, for runtime, and by adding a custom
attribute in DWARF.
The concrete value of an interface is always stored as a pointer inside
an interface variable. So far we have followed the memory layout and
reported the type of the 'data' attribute of interfaces as a pointer,
however this makes it impossible to distinguish interfaces with
concrete value of type 'A' from interfaces of concrete value of type
'*A'.
With this changeset when we autodereference pointers when the concrete
type of an interface is not a pointer.
* 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.
According to https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Test_packages
service_test is more appropriate becuase this directory contains
no non-test code and the intention is to compile these *_test.go
files as a separate package and link/run with the main test package.

Generate names of the concrete types stored inside interface variables
by fully parsing their runtime._type instead of simply using the str
field.
This allows delve to read the contents of an interface variable when
the program imports multiple packages that have the same name. It also
allows delve to correctly interpret some complex anonymous types.
Fixes#455
* 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.
New API version with better backwards compatibility plus mechanism to
select the API version that a headless instance should use.
Adds service/test/cmd/typecheckrpc.go to type check the RPC interface.
proc.(*Process) methods are not thread safe, multiple clients
connecting simultaneously to a delve server (Issue #383) or a even
a single over-eager client (Issue #408) can easily crash it.
Additionally (Issue #419) calls to client.(*RPCClient).Halt can
crash the server because they can result in calling the function
debug/dwarf.(*Data).Type simultaneously in multiple threads which
will cause it to return incompletely parsed dwarf.Type values.
Fixes#408, #419 (partial)
Past the maximum recursion depth maps shouldn't be loaded at all,
adding map children and not loading them breaks assumptions in
the prettyprinter.
Fixes#406
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
The concrete type of an interface only contains the abbreviated
package name, we must construct a map from package names to package
paths to be able to resolve the concrete type of an interface.
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
