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
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.
Replace the unsafe.Pointer type of the buf field of channels with the
appropriate array type, allow expressions accessing member field of the
channel struct.
Fixes#962
* 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
* 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.
