The initial implementation of the 'call' command required the
function call to be the root expression, i.e. something like:
double(3) + 1
was not allowed, because the root expression was the binary operator
'+', not the function call.
With this change expressions like the one above and others are
allowed.
This is the first step necessary to implement nested function calls
(where the result of a function call is used as argument to another
function call).
This is implemented by replacing proc.CallFunction with
proc.EvalExpressionWithCalls. EvalExpressionWithCalls will run
proc.(*EvalScope).EvalExpression in a different goroutine. This
goroutine, the 'eval' goroutine, will communicate with the main
goroutine of the debugger by means of two channels: continueRequest
and continueCompleted.
The eval goroutine evaluates the expression recursively, when
a function call is encountered it takes care of setting up the
function call on the target program and writes a request to the
continueRequest channel, this causes the 'main' goroutine to restart
the target program by calling proc.Continue.
Whenever Continue encounters a breakpoint that belongs to the
function call injection protocol (runtime.debugCallV1 and associated
functions) it writes to continueCompleted which resumes the 'eval'
goroutine.
The 'eval' goroutine takes care of implementing the function call
injection protocol.
When the expression is fully evaluated the 'eval' goroutine will
write a special message to 'continueRequest' signaling that the
expression evaluation is terminated which will cause Continue to
return to the user.
Updates #119
This change splits the BinaryInfo object into a slice of Image objects
containing information about the base executable and each loaded shared
library (note: go plugins are shared libraries).
Delve backens are supposed to call BinaryInfo.AddImage whenever they
detect that a new shared library has been loaded.
Member fields of BinaryInfo that are used to speed up access to dwarf
(Functions, packageVars, consts, etc...) remain part of BinaryInfo and
are updated to reference the correct image object. This simplifies this
change.
This approach has a few shortcomings:
1. Multiple shared libraries can define functions or globals with the
same name and we have no way to disambiguate between them.
2. We don't have a way to handle library unloading.
Both of those affect C shared libraries much more than they affect go
plugins. Go plugins can't be unloaded at all and a lot of name
collisions are prevented by import paths.
There's only one problem that is concerning: if two plugins both import
the same package they will end up with multiple definition for the same
function.
For example if two plugins use fmt.Printf the final in-memory image
(and therefore our BinaryInfo object) will end up with two copies of
fmt.Printf at different memory addresses. If a user types
break fmt.Printf
a breakpoint should be created at *both* locations.
Allowing this is a relatively complex change that should be done in a
different PR than this.
For this reason I consider this approach an acceptable and sustainable
stopgap.
Updates #865
Remove the breakpoint set in TestCallConcurrent so that it doesn't
interfere with the call injection protocol.
The fact that it can is a bug but that bug is better addressed after
PRs #1503 and #1504 are merged, this keeps tests happy in the meantime.
Fixes#1542
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.
Go 1.12 introduced a change to the internal map representation where
empty map cells can be marked with a tophash value of 1 instead of just
0.
Fixes#1531
RestoreRegisters on linux would also restore FS_BASE and GS_BASE, if
the target goroutine migrated to a different thread during the call
injection this would result in two threads of the target process
pointing to the same TLS area which would greatly confuse the target
runtime, leading to fatal panics with nonsensical stack traces.
Other backends are unaffected:
- native/windows doesn't store the TLS in the same CONTEXT struct as
the other register values.
- native/darwin doesn't support function calls (and wouldn't store the
TLS value in the same struct)
- gdbserial/rr doesn't support function calls (because it's a
recording)
- gsdbserial/lldb extracts the value of TLS by executing code in the
target process.
* *: 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
Like we do with unrecovered panics, create a default breakpoint to
catch runtime errors that will cause the program to terminate.
Primarily intended to give users the opportunity to examine the state
of a deadlocked process.
runtime.clone (on some operating systems?) work similarly to fork:
when a thread calls runtime.clone a new thread is created. For a
short period of time both the parent thread and the child thread
appear to be running the same goroutine, until the child thread
adjusts its TLS to point to the correct goroutine.
This means that proc.GetG for a thread that's currently running
'runtime.clone' could be wrong and, consequently, the field
proc.(G).thread of a G struct returned by GoroutinesInfo could be
also wrong. And, finally, that FindGoroutine could sometimes return
a *G with a bad associated thread if the goroutine of interest
recently called 'runtime.clone'.
To work around this problem this commit makes two changes:
1. proc.GetG will return nil for all threads executing runtime.clone.
2. FindGoroutine will return the selected goroutine as long as the
ID matches the one requested.
Change (1) takes care of the 'runtime.clone' problem. If we stop
the target process shortly after a thread executed the SYSCALL
instruction in 'runtime.clone' there are three possibilities:
a. Both the parent thread and the child thread are stopped inside
'runtime.clone'. In this case the state we report is slightly
incorrect, because both threads will be reported as not running any
goroutine when we do know which goorutine one of them (the parent)
is running. This doesn't actually matter since runtime.clone is
always called on the system stack and therefore the goroutine in
runtime.allgs will have the correct location.
b. The child thread managed to exit 'runtime.clone' but the parent
thread didn't. This is similar to (a) but in this case GetG on the
child thread will return the correct goroutine. GetG on the parent
thread will still return (incorrectly) nil but this doesn't matter
for the samer reason as described in (a).
c. The parent thread managed to exit 'runtime.clone' but the child
thread didn't. In this case GetG will return the correct goroutine
both for the parent thread (because it's not executing runtime.clone)
and the child thread.
Change (2) means that even if a thread has a completely nonsensical
TLS (for example because it's set through cgo) evaluating a variable
with a valid GoroutineID will still work as long as it's the current
goroutine (which is the most common case). This change also doubles
as an optimization for FindGoroutine.
Fixes#1469
When compression is applied by default running the DWZ tool on the
resulting binary will crash.
The actual default compression code will look and see if compression
makes any difference and if so replace the normal `.debug_*` section
with `.zdebug_*`. This is why it may not have been hit before. On one of
my workstations I build with 1.12rc1 and no compression happens, but on
a Fedora VM I build and the binary results in compressed DWARF sections.
Adding this flag will make this test more consistent overall.
Add new version to CHANGELOG and update internal version.

* config/config.go
This change checks for the environmental variable XDG_CONFIG_HOME
before storing the configuration file in the home directory.
Closes#1454
* config/config.go
This change attempts to move the previous config file location to the
new XDG_CONFIG_HOME compliant location on linux systems or when
XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set.
This change removes the old config file location if the file is
successfully moved.
* config/config.go
Consolidate messages about config moving and clean up into one.
Remove extraneous newlines.
* pkg/config: config path error messages print to stderr
This change updates the output location of error messages related to
the config path. This will prevent clients from getting unexpected output
when an error occurs.
* pkg/config: Update path used when returning unable to move config error
This change fixes the error message when Delve was unable to move the config. Previously returned a FileInfo object not the file path.
* pkg/config: Remove check for stderr when printing error messages
* pkg/config: Move success message for moving config to stderr
This prevents the success message from being printed to stdout and
breaking frontends.
* pkg/config: Rename variable to be more descriptive
FindGoroutine can be slow when there are many goroutines running. This
can not be fixed in the general case, however:
1. Instead of getting the entire list of goroutines at once just get a
few at a time and return as soon as we find the one we want.
2. Since FindGoroutine is mostly called by ConvertEvalScope and users
are more likely to request informations about a goroutine running on a
thread, look within the threads first.
We forgot to run typecheckrpc.go periodically and it didn't work
anymore and there were some minor errors in service/rpc2/client.go.
Rewrite typecheckrpc.go using go/packages, so that it works with go1.11
and go.mod, and fix the issues in client.go
As specified in line dwarf/godwarf/type.go:507 the typeCache entry
should always be set before recursive calls to readType to avoid infite
recursion.
Most code in readType already does this but some of the code added
later to handle Go types was wrong.
Fix this bug and also fix the String and Size methods of Type so that
they handle recursive types "correctly" (i.e. they don't recur
forever).
No test is added for this since all legitimate uses of cyclical types
were already handled correctly and the malformed types emitted by the
go compiler will probably be removed in 1.12.

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.
Some build environments (such as when building RPMs) enjoy symlinking
things. This unfortunately causes our tests to fail as we record the
path of fixtures and use that when looking up file:line information.
However, the debug info in the binary records the original file
location, not the location of the symlink.
When casting an integer into a struct pointer we make a fake pointer
variable that doesn't have an address, maybeDereference and
structMember should still work on this kind of Variable.
Fixes#1432
The size of the TLS memory arena needs to be aligned to pointer sized
boundaries on 86x64 architectures, otherwise some programs using cgo
will not have the correct offset for the g struct.
No tests because reproducing this problem depends on behavior of the
GNU ld linker caused by unclear influences.
Fixes#1428.
Goroutine id == 0 is special (there can be many goroutines with id 0).
If the caller of FindGoroutine asks for gid==0 and current thread is
running a goroutine 0 (i.e. either no goroutine or a special
goroutine) return whatever goroutine is running on the current thread.
