Displays the return values of the current function when we step out of
it after executing a step, next or stepout command.
Implementation of this feature is tricky: when the function has
returned the return variables are not in scope anymore. Implementing
this feature requires evaluating variables that are out of scope, using
a stack frame that doesn't exist anymore.
We can't calculate the address of these variables when the
next/step/stepout command is initiated either, because between that
point and the time where the stepout breakpoint is actually hit the
goroutine stack could grow and be moved to a different memory address.
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
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
* 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
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.
When there's a error reading the stack trace the call stack itself
could be corrupted and we should return the partial stacktrace that we
have.
Fixes#868
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
Other debuggers can be instructed to decorate the stacktrace with the
value of SP. Our SP equivalent is the frame offset, since we can add it
to the Stackframe structure without incurring into added costs we
should, so that frontends can use it if they want.
- 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.
* service/debugger: Restore breakpoints using file:line on restart
Restoring by address can cause the breakpoint to be inserted in the
middle of an instruction if the executable file has changed.
* terminal: Warn of stale executable when printing source
This version preserves the order of requests, allows the
client to switch between API versions and introduces a
way to send notifications to the client (see TODO item at:
proc/proc_linux.go:325).
Fixes#523, #571
This provides a better error message when the user tries to run dlv
debug on a directory that does not contain a main package, when `dlv
exec` is used with a source file.
Additionally the architecture of the executable is checked as suggested
by @alexbrainman in #443.
Fixes#509
* 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.
* proc: bugfix: StepInto can not function when temp bps exist
* terminal,service: auto-continue during next and step
Make dlv call continue automatically when a breakpoint is hit on a
different goroutine during a next or step operation.
Added API hooks to implement the other solution to this problem (cancel
the next/step operation if a different breakpoint is hit).
Fixes#387
* 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.
Refactor to introduce client/server separation, including a typed
client API and a HTTP REST server implementation.
Refactor the terminal to be an API consumer.
