Before doing anything check that the version of Go is compatible with
the current version of Delve.
This will improve the error message in the case that another change as
disruptive as Go1.11 dwarf compression, happens.
* *: use loglevel to control what gets logged instead of output redirection
This stops logrus from doing all the formatting just to discard it
immediately afterwards.
* logflags: replace default formatter of logrus
The default formatter of logrus emits logs in two different formats
depending on whether or not the output is going to a terminal. The
output format for non-terminals is indented to be machine readable, but
we mostly read logs ourselves and the excessive quoting makes that
format unreadable.
When outputting to terminals it uses ANSI escape codes unconditionally,
without checking whether the terminal it is connected to actually
supports colors.
This commit replaces the default formatter with a much simpler
formatter that always uses a more readable format, doesn't use colors
and places the key-value pairs at the beginning of the line (which is a
better match for how we use them).
* cmd/dlv: add command line options to redirect logs
Adds two options, --log-to-file and --log-to-fd, to redirect logs to a
file or to a file descriptor.
When one of those two options is specified the "API server listening
at:" message will also be redirected to the specified file/file
descriptor.
This allows clients that want to use the "API server listening at:"
message to do so even if they want to redirect the target's stdout to
another file or device.
Implements #1179, #1523
Adds initial support for plugins, this is only the code needed to keep
track of loaded plugins on linux (both native and gdbserial backend).
It does not actually implement support for debugging plugins on linux.
Updates #865
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.
Minidumps are the windows equivalent of unix core files.
This commit updates pkg/proc/core so that it can open and read windows
minidumps.
Updates #794
Adds an --exec flag for the trace subcommand allowing users to specify a
pre-compiled binary to exec and trace.
Also adds a --test flag as a convienance for compiling and tracing a
test binary.
Fixes#1073
The name "where" may confuse users into thinking that this parameter
actually does something where in fact it's just arbitrary text used to
identify the checkpoint.
Fixes#1373
On macOS 10.14 Apple changed the command line tools so that system
headers now need to be manually installed.
Instead of adding one extra install step to the install procedure add a
build tag to allow compilation of delve without the native backend on
macOS. By default (i.e. when using `go get`) this is how delve will be
compiled on macOS, the make script is changed to enable compiling the
native backend if the required dependencies have been installed.
Insure that both configuration still build correctly on Travis CI and
change the documentation to describe how to compile the native backend
and that it isn't normally needed.
Fixes#1359
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
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
* Adds some links to the more relevant documentation pages on the main
README.md
* Adds a document informally describing how to write a client of delve
* Adds link to slides describing the architecture of delve
This pull request makes several changes to delve to allow headless
instancess that are started with the --accept-multiclient flag to
keep running even if there is no connected client. Specifically:
1. Makes a headless instance started with --accept-multiclient quit
after one of the clients sends a Detach request (previously they
would never ever quit, which was a bug).
2. Changes proc/gdbserial and proc/native so that they mark the
Process as exited after they detach, even if they did not kill the
process during detach. This prevents bugs such as #1231 where we
attempt to manipulate a target process after we detached from it.
3. On non --accept-multiclient instances do not kill the target
process unless we started it or the client specifically requests
it (previously if the client did not Detach before closing the
connection we would kill the target process unconditionally)
4. Add a -c option to the quit command that detaches from the
headless server after restarting the target.
5. Change terminal so that, when attached to --accept-multiclient,
pressing ^C will prompt the user to either disconnect from the
server or pause the target process. Also extend the exit prompt to
ask if the user wants to keep the headless server running.
Implements #245, #952, #1159, #1231
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.
We occasionally receive bug reports from users of VSCode-go and GoLand.
GoLand has its own way of capturing the packet exchange between itself
and delve but VSCode-go (supposedly) doesn't.
So far this hasn't been a problem since all bug reports were obvious
bugs on the plugin or easy to reproduce without VSCode-go, but it might
be helpful in the future to have a way to log the packet exchange
between dlv and a frontend.
This commit adds a --log-output option to enable logging of all rpc
messages and changes service/rpccommon accordingly.
Go1.11 uses the is_stmt flag of .debug_line to communicate which
assembly instructions are good places for breakpoints, we should
respect this flag.
These changes were introduced by:
* https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/102435/
Additionally when setting next breakpoints ignore all PC addresses that
belong to the same line as the one currently under at the cursor. This
matches the behavior of gdb and avoids stopping multiple times at the
heading line of a for statement with go1.11.
Change: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/110416 adds the
prologue_end flag to the .debug_line section to communicate the end of
the stack-split prologue. We should use it instead of pattern matching
the disassembly when available.
Fixes#550
type of interfaces
'c7cde8b'.
Previously to 4e177bb99acc511897f9cdbfc6cbc50d92ae4725 it was possible
to use --log without arguments to enable logging, this commit reenables
that use case.
The new functionality of the --log flag moved to a new flag name
--logx.
Fixes#1188
I found this issue (https://github.com/derekparker/delve/issues/514) where user alexbrainman gave a very helpful answer. Adding this to the official install-guide might help a lot of users.
The formula is broken and produces an endless stream of duplicate bug
reports yet nobody steps up to fix it. Using the formula isn't
necessary and hasn't been in almost a year, the maintainers of delve
aren't using it and the original maintainer of the formula vacated.
