The linux version of proc/native and proc/core contained largely
overlapping implementations of the register handling code, deduplicate
it by moving it into proc/linutil.
This patch allows the `trace` CLI subcommand to display return values of
a function. Additionally, it will also display information on where the
function exited, which could also be helpful in determining the path
taken during function execution.
Fixes#388
Some libraries (for example steam_api64.dll) will send this exception
code to set the thread name on Microsoft VisualC.
In theory it should be fine to send the exception back to the target,
which is responsible for setting a handler for it, in practice in some
cases (steam_api64.dll) this will crash the program. So we'll mask it
instead.
Fixes#1383
Continue did not resume execution after a call to CallFunction if the
point where the process was stopped, before the call CallFunction, was
a breakpoint.
Fixes#1374
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
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.
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
We should print something when we exit from continue/next/step/stepout
even if we don't have a source file for the instruction that we are
stopped on.
This is mostly important on macOS where a SIGSEGV will cause 'continue'
to fail with a 'bad access' error (see #852) and the output can be
confusing.
Fixes#1244
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
Add a flag to Stackframe that indicates where the stack frame is the
bottom-most frame of the stack. This allows clients to know whether the
stack trace terminated normally or if it was truncated because the
maximum depth was reached.
Add a truncation message to the 'stack' command.
Fncall.go was written with the assumption that the object returned by
proc.Thread.Registers does not change after we call
proc.Thread.SetPC/etc.
This is true for the native backend but not for gdbserial. I had
anticipated this problem and introduced the Save/SavedRegisters
mechanism during the first implementation of fncall.go but that's
insufficient.
Instead:
1. clarify that the object returned by proc.Thread.Registers could
change when the CPU registers are modified.
2. add a Copy method to Registers that returns a copy of the registers
that are guaranteed not to change when the CPU registers change.
3. remove the Save/SavedRegisters mechanism.
This solution leaves us the option, in the future, to cache the output
of proc.(Thread).Registers, avoiding a system call every time it's
called.
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.
Add new version to CHANGELOG and update internal version.

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.
This patch makes it so inlined functions are returned in the
function
list, and also allows users to set breakpoints on the call site of
inlined functions.
Fixes#1261
If we send a process to foreground while the headless instance may get
a SIGTTOU/SIGTTIN, if not ignored this signal will stop the headless.
It's not clear why this only happens the second time we do this but
that's how it is.
Also removes the direct syscall to TIOCSPGRP and lets the go runtime do
it instead.
Fixes#1279
Adds a test that compares the output of our state machine with the
output of the debug_line reader in the standard library and checks that
they produce the same output for the debug_line section of grafana as
compiled on macOS (which is the most interesting case since it uses cgo
and therefore goes through dsymutil).
A few bugs were uncovered and fixed:
1. is_stmt was reset improperly after a DW_LNS_end_sequence instruction
2. basic_block, prologue_end and epilogue_begin were not reset after a
DW_LNS_copy instruction
3. some opcodes were not decoded properly if the debug_line section
declares fewer standard opcodes than we know about.
Fixes#1282
Adds -defer flag to the stack command that decorates the stack traces
by associating each stack frame with its deferred calls.
Reworks proc.next to use this feature instead of using proc.DeferPC,
laying the groundwork to implement #1240.
next/step/stepout should work even if the current frame isn't the
topmost stack frame, but their behavior should be different in that
case (they should continue inside the function of the selected frame).
Most of the logic of next/step/stepout would work correctly if we
simply replaced the call to proc.topframe with something that took a
frame index. However the breakpoint they set on the first deferred
function is wrong, and fixing it requires scanning the defer stack and
matching it to the call stack, something we can't do yet.
Given that enhancing next/step/stepout will take time and the current
behavior confuses users (see issue #1240) return an error if
next/step/stepout are called while the currently selected frame isn't
frame 0.
Updates #1240
There is no guarantee that files will end up stored contiguously in the
debug_line section which makes this optimization wrong in the general
case.
In particular with recent versions of go1.11 and a go.mod file present
the go compiler seems to sometimes produce executables that actually
violate this assumption.
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
The JSON-RPC layer doesn't like non-nil error that return an empty string
when the Error method is called and when this happens it shuts down the
connection to the server.
Since we can return a ThreadBlockedError to the client it can't have an
empty string as return value.
Fixes#1251
