Adds filtering and grouping to the goroutines command.
The current implementation of the goroutines command is modeled after
the threads command of gdb. It works well for programs that have up to
a couple dozen goroutines but becomes unusable quickly after that.
This commit adds the ability to filter and group goroutines by several
different properties, allowing a better debugging experience on
programs that have hundreds or thousands of goroutines.
Changes the expression evaluation code so that register names, when not
shadowed by local or global variables, will evaluate to the current
value of the corresponding CPU register.
This allows a greater flexibility with displaying CPU registers than is
possible with using the ListRegisters API call. Also it allows
debuggers users to view register values even if the frontend they are
using does not implement a register view.
* examinememory: evaluate addr as expression
This makes it easy to read memory locations at an offset of a known
address, e.g.:
x 0xc000046800 + 32
* use feedback from @aarzilli
- expression mode is now enabled via -x flag
- support "-x var", "-x &var" in addition to "-x <addr expr>"
- some refactoring
* add test cases
* deal with double spaces
* update docs
* add new failing test
* fix docs
* simplify implementation, update test & docs
* Fix docs
Changes print so a format argument can be specified by using '%' as
prefix. For example:
print %x d
will print variable 'd' in hexadecimal. The interpretarion of the
format argument is the same as that of fmt's package.

* Adds toggle command
Also adds two rpc2 tests for testing the new functionality
* Removes Debuggers' ToggleBreakpoint method
rpc2's ToggleBreakpoint now calls AmendBreakpoint
Refactors the ClearBreakpoint to avoid a lock.
* proc/core: off-by-one error reading ELF core files
core.(*splicedMemory).ReadMemory checked the entry interval
erroneously when dealing with contiguous entries.
* terminal,service,proc/*: adds dump command (gcore equivalent)
Adds the `dump` command that creates a core file from the target process.
Backends will need to implement a new, optional, method `MemoryMap` that
returns a list of mapped memory regions.
Additionally the method `DumpProcessNotes` can be implemented to write out
to the core file notes describing the target process and its threads. If
DumpProcessNotes is not implemented `proc.Dump` will write a description of
the process and its threads in a OS/arch-independent format (that only Delve
understands).
Currently only linux/amd64 implements `DumpProcessNotes`.
Core files are only written in ELF, there is no minidump or macho-o writers.

Adds features to support default file descriptor redirects for the
target process:
1. A new command line flag '--redirect' and '-r' are added to specify
file redirects for the target process
2. New syntax is added to the 'restart' command to specify file
redirects.
3. Interactive instances will check if stdin/stdout and stderr are
terminals and print a helpful error message if they aren't.
* terminal/command: Add 'reload' command
These changes add the 'reload' command, which allows us to rebuild the project
and start the debugging session again. Currently, if the project's code is
updated while debugging it, Delve shows the new source code, but it's still
running the old one. With 'reload', the whole binary is rebuilt, and the
process starts again.

Allows Delve clients to stop a recording midway by sending a
Command('halt')
request.
This is implemented by changing debugger.New to start recording the
process on a separate goroutine while holding the processMutex locked.
By locking the processMutex we ensure that almost all RPC requests will
block until the recording is done, since we can not respond correctly
to any of them.
API calls that do not require manipulating or examining the target
process, such as "IsMulticlient", "SetApiVersion" and
"GetState(nowait=true)" will work while we are recording the process.
Two other internal changes are made to the API: both GetState and
Restart become asynchronous requests, like Command. Restart because
this way it can be interrupted by a StopRecording request if the
rerecord option is passed.
GetState because clients need a call that will block until the
recording is compelted and can also be interrupted with a
StopRecording.
Clients that are uninterested in allowing the user to stop a recording
can ignore this change, since eventually they will make a request to
Delve that will block until the recording is completed.
Clients that wish to support this feature must:
1. call GetState(nowait=false) after connecting to Delve, before any
call that would need to manipulate the target process
2. allow the user to send a StopRecording request during the initial
GetState call
3. allow the user to send a StopRecording request during any subsequent
Restart(rerecord=true) request (if supported).
Implements #1747
* proc: move defer breakpoint code into a function
Moves the code that sets a breakpoint on the first deferred function,
used by both next and StepOut, to its function.
* proc: implement reverse step/next/stepout
When the direction of execution is reversed (on a recording) Step, Next and
StepOut will behave similarly to their forward version. However there are
some subtle interactions between their behavior, prologue skipping, deferred
calls and normal calls. Specifically:
- when stepping backwards we need to set a breakpoint on the first
instruction after each CALL instruction, once this breakpoint is reached we
need to execute a single StepInstruction operation to reverse step into the
CALL.
- to insure that the prologue is skipped reverse next needs to check if it
is on the first instruction after the prologue, and if it is behave like
reverse stepout.
- there is no reason to set breakpoints on deferred calls when reverse
nexting or reverse stepping out, they will never be hit.
- reverse step out should generally place its breakpoint on the CALL
instruction that created the current stack frame (which will be the CALL
instruction immediately preceding the instruction at the return address).
- reverse step out needs to treat panic calls and deferreturn calls
specially.
* service,terminal: implement reverse step, next, stepout
1. Don't use intelligent '#' in fmt of go because it is not always satisfying
for diffrent version of golang. Always keep one leading zero for octal and
one leading '0x' for hex manually. Then keep alignment for every byte.
2. Always keep addr alignment when the lens of two adjacent address are
different.
Update #1814.
Adds an optional scope prefix to the `regs` command which allows
printing registers for any stack frame (as long as they were somehow
saved). Issue #1838 is not yet to be closed since we are still not
recovering the registers of a segfaulting frame.
Updates #1838
According to #1800#1584#1038, `dlv` should enable the user to dive into
memory. User can print binary data in specific memory address range.
But not support for sepecific variable name or structures temporarily.(Because
I have no idea that modify `print` command.)
Close#1584.
Adds an API call that returns a list of packages contained in the
program and the files that were used to build them, and also a best
guess at which filesystem directory contained the package when it was
built.
This can be used by IDEs to map file paths if the debugging environment
doesn't match the build environment exactly.
This script re-runs a program until it fails or hits a breakpoint, it
is useful for debugging non-deterministic problems when used in
conjunction with rr.
Make the 'list' command succeed for file:line expressions that don't
map to any instruction.
Adds an argument to the FindLocations API call that makes FindLocations
return if the expression can be parsed, even if it doesn't end up
matching any instruction in debug_line.
Adds a '-r' option to the 'restart' command (and to the Restart API)
that re-records the target when using rr.
Also moves the code to delete the trace directory inside the gdbserial
package.
Add options to start a stacktrace from the values saved in the
runtime.g struct as well as a way to disable the stackSwitch logic and
just get a normal stacktrace.
* terminal/command: add support for next [count]
* disallow negative counts.
* handle github comments, and regen docs.
* Fix the fact that we don't print the file info in the last step of the next count.
* Fix a typo, cleanup a few other observations.
If the argument of 'source' ends in '.star' it will be interpreted as a
starlark script.
If the argument of 'source' is '-' an interactive starlark repl will be
started.
For documentation on how the starlark execution environment works see
Documentation/cli/starlark.md.
The starlark API is autogenerated from the JSON-RPC API by
script/gen-starlark-bindings.go.
In general for each JSON-RPC API a single global starlark function is
created.
When one of those functions is called (through a starlark script) the
arguments are converted to go structs using reflection. See
unmarshalStarlarkValue in pkg/terminal/starbind/conv.go.
If there are no type conversion errors the JSON-RPC call is executed.
The return value of the JSON-RPC call is converted back into a starlark
value by interfaceToStarlarkValue (same file):
* primitive types (such as integers, floats or strings) are converted
by creating the corresponding starlark value.
* compound types (such as structs and slices) are converted by wrapping
their reflect.Value object into a type that implements the relevant
starlark interfaces.
* api.Variables are treated specially so that their Value field can be
of the proper type instead of always being a string.
Implements #1415, #1443
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.
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
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
