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
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
Instead of trying to be clever and make an 'educated guess' as to where
the flow of control may go next, simple do the more naive, yet correct,
approach of setting a breakpoint everywhere we can in the function and
seeing where we end up. On top of this we were already setting a
breakpoint at the return address and deferred functions, so that remains
the same.
This removes a lot of gnarly, hard to maintain code and takes all the
guesswork out of this command.
Fixes#281
Support multiple file / directory tables for multiple compilation units.
- added a type DebugLines that can hold number of DebugLineInfo
- added a supporting attribute to DebugLineInfo called 'Lookup' which is to be
used to quickly lookup if file exists in FileNames slice
- added supporting methods to lookup and return corresponding DebugLineInfo
- changed the debug_line parsing behavior to read all the available tables and
push them to DebugLines
- since Process.lineInfo is now a slice, it was breaking AllPCsBetween as well
- updated that function's definition to accept a new filename parameter to be
able to extract related DebugLineInfo
- updated calls to AllPCsBetween
- fixed tests that were broken due to attribute type change in Process
- updated _fixtures/cgotest program to include stdio.h, so that it updates
.debug_line header
- added a test to check 'next' in a cgo binary
- OSX - 1.4 does not support cgo, handle that in new testcase
FDEs previously were loaded into a red/black tree and searched. This is
significantly more expensive than a binary search over a slice. Not sure
what I was thinking using a red/black tree - this binary search
implementation is significantly more efficient.
Remove any assumption that a wait syscall on a thread id after a
continue will return. Any time we continue a thread, wait for activity
from any thread, because the scheduler may well have switched contexts
on us due to syscall entrace, channel op, etc...
There are several more things to be done here including:
* Potential tracking of goroutine id as we jump around to thread
contexts.
* Potential of selectively choosing threads to operate on based on the
internal M data structures, ensuring that our M has an active G.
This commit partially fixes#23 and #24, however there are still some
random hangs that happen and need to be ironed out.
Once the program detects that we have stepped into another function,
we simply calculate the return address and then set a breakpoint and
continue to that location, avoiding numerous syscalls.
