This flag allows users on UNIX systems to set the tty for the program
being debugged by Delve. This is useful for debugging command line
applications which need access to their own TTY, and also for
controlling the output of the debugged programs so that IDEs may open a
dedicated terminal to show the output for the process.
* gdbserial/gdbserver: Dynamically resolve debugserver binary
Instead of hardcoding the absolute path to the Command Line
Tools (CLT) binary, will attempt to resolve the path at the
$PATH, or at the Xcode bundle. If none are available, will
fallback to the default CLT location.

* 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
* proc,proc/*: move SelectedGoroutine to proc.Target, remove PostInitializationSetup
moves SelectedGoroutine, SwitchThread and SwitchGoroutine to
proc.Target, merges PostInitializationSetup with NewTarget.
* proc,proc/*: add StopReason field to Target
Adds a StopReason field to the Target object describing why the target
process is currently stopped. This will be useful for the DAP server
(which needs to report this reason in one of its requests) as well as
making pull request #1785 (reverse step) conformant to the new
architecture.
* proc: collect NewTarget arguments into a struct
Implement debugging function for 386 on linux with reference to AMD64.
There are a few remaining problems that need to be solved in another time.
1. The stacktrace of cgo are not exactly as expected.
2. Not implement `core` for now.
3. Not implement `call` for now. Can't not find `runtime·debugCallV1` or
similar function in $GOROOT/src/runtime/asm_386.s.
Update #20
Instead of reloading the registers for every thread every time the
process executes, reload the registers on demand for individual threads
and memoize the result.
A significant amount of time is spent generating the string
representation for the proc.Registers object of each thread, since this
field is rarely used (only when the Registers API is called) it should
be generated on demand.
Also by changing the internal representation of proc.Register to be
closer to that of op.DwarfRegister it will help us implement #1838
(when Delve will need to be able to display the registers of an
internal frame, which we currently represent using op.DwarfRegister
objects).
Benchmark before:
BenchmarkConditionalBreakpoints-4 1 22292554301 ns/op
Benchmark after:
BenchmarkConditionalBreakpoints-4 1 17326345671 ns/op
Reduces conditional breakpoint latency from 2.2ms to 1.7ms.

* tests: misc test fixes for go1.14
- math.go is now ambiguous due to changes to the go runtime so specify
that we mean our own math.go in _fixtures
- go list -m requires vendor-mode to be disabled so pass '-mod=' to it
in case user has GOFLAGS=-mod=vendor
- update version of go/packages, required to work with go 1.14 (and
executed go mod vendor)
- Increased goroutine migration in one development version of Go 1.14
revealed a problem with TestCheckpoints in command_test.go and
rr_test.go. The tests were always wrong because Restart(checkpoint)
doesn't change the current thread but we can't assume that when the
checkpoint was taken the current goroutine was running on the same
thread.
* goversion: update maximum supported version
* Makefile: disable testing lldb-server backend on linux with Go 1.14
There seems to be some incompatibility with lldb-server version 6.0.0
on linux and Go 1.14.
* proc/gdbserial: better handling of signals
- if multiple signals are received simultaneously propagate all of them to the
target threads instead of only one.
- debugserver will drop an interrupt request if a target thread simultaneously
receives a signal, handle this situation.
* dwarf/line: normalize backslashes for windows executables
Starting with Go 1.14 the compiler sometimes emits backslashes as well
as forward slashes in debug_line, normalize everything to / for
conformity with the behavior of previous versions.
* proc/native: partial support for Windows async preempt mechanism
See https://github.com/golang/go/issues/36494 for a description of why
full support for 1.14 under windows is problematic.
* proc/native: disable Go 1.14 async preemption on Windows
See https://github.com/golang/go/issues/36494
* pkg/proc: Introduce Target
* pkg/proc: Remove Common.fncallEnabled
Realistically we only block it on recorded backends.
* pkg/proc: Move fncallForG to Target
* pkg/proc: Remove CommonProcess
Remove final bit of functionality stored in CommonProcess and move it to
*Target.
* pkg/proc: Add SupportsFunctionCall to Target
Instead of just sending unhandled signals back to the process send them
to the specific thread that received them.
This is important because:
1. debugserver does not appear to support the vCont;CXX packet without
specifying a target thread
2. the non-cooperative preemption change in an upcoming version of Go
(1.15?) will require sending signals to a specific thread.
Fixes#1744
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.
proc.Next and proc.Step will call, after setting their temp
breakpoints, curthread.SetCurrentBreakpoint. This is intended to find
if one of the newly created breakpoints happens to be at the same
instruction that curthread is stopped at.
However SetCurrentBreakpoint is intended to be called after a Continue
and StepInstruction operation so it will also detect if curthread is
stopped one byte after a breakpoint.
If the instruction immediately preceeding the current instruction of
curthread happens to:
1. have one of the newly created temp breakpoints
2. be one byte long
SetCurrentBreakpoint will believe that we just hit that breakpoint and
therefore the instruction should be repeated, and thus rewind the PC of
curthread by 1.
We should distinguish between the two uses of SetCurrentBreakpoint and
disable the check for "just hit" breakpoints when inappropriate.
Fixes#1656
* *: Add .cirrus.yml for FreeBSD testing
* *: run go mod tidy
* service/test: prefer 127.0.0.1 over localhost
* dwarf/line: fix TestDebugLinePrologueParser
* vendor: rerun go mod vendor
Propagate signals when stepping because debugserver will report them,
from the issue:
2019-07-11T16:31:25+02:00 debug layer=gdbconn <- $z0,105525d,1#c9
2019-07-11T16:31:25+02:00 debug layer=gdbconn -> $OK#00
2019-07-11T16:31:25+02:00 debug layer=gdbconn <- $vCont;s:c41c3#50
2019-07-11T16:31:25+02:00 debug layer=gdbconn -> $T1cthread:c41c3;threads:c41c3,c41d7,c41d8,c41d9,c41da;thread-pcs:105525d,7fffc464bf46,7fffc464bbf2,7fffc464bbf2,7fffc46...
2019-07-11T16:31:25+02:00 debug layer=gdbconn <- $Z0,105525d,1#a9
2019-07-11T16:31:25+02:00 debug layer=gdbconn -> $OK#00
in this case we request a single step on thread c41c3 but debugserver
reports instead a signal (in this case SIGWINCH).
Fixes#1610
* *: 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
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.
If proc.Step encounters a CALL instruction that points to an address
that isn't associated with any function it should still follow the
CALL.
The circumstances creating this problem do not normally occur, it was
encountered in the process of fixing a bug created by Go1.12.
This patch is a slight refactor to share more code used for genericprocess initialization. There will always be OS/backend specificinitialization, but as much as can be shared should be to preventduplicating of any logic (setting internal breakpoints, loading bininfo,etc).
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.
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.
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
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
Setting the Level field of a logrus logger doesn't actually do anything
since the Level field simply reports the log level of the last log
message emitted on the logger.
The right way to do that is to set logger.Logger.Level.
Also cleans up newline characters from log messages emitted through
logrus and fixes the direction of the arrows in the messages emitted by
rpccommon, which was inconsistent with the arrows of gdbserial.
This pull request makes several changes to delve to allow headless
instancess that are started with the --accept-multiclient flag to
keep running even if there is no connected client. Specifically:
1. Makes a headless instance started with --accept-multiclient quit
after one of the clients sends a Detach request (previously they
would never ever quit, which was a bug).
2. Changes proc/gdbserial and proc/native so that they mark the
Process as exited after they detach, even if they did not kill the
process during detach. This prevents bugs such as #1231 where we
attempt to manipulate a target process after we detached from it.
3. On non --accept-multiclient instances do not kill the target
process unless we started it or the client specifically requests
it (previously if the client did not Detach before closing the
connection we would kill the target process unconditionally)
4. Add a -c option to the quit command that detaches from the
headless server after restarting the target.
5. Change terminal so that, when attached to --accept-multiclient,
pressing ^C will prompt the user to either disconnect from the
server or pause the target process. Also extend the exit prompt to
ask if the user wants to keep the headless server running.
Implements #245, #952, #1159, #1231
Implements structured logging via Logrus. This gives us a logger per
boundry that we care about, allowing for easier parsing of logs if users
have more than one log option enabled. Also, cleans up a lot of
conditionals in the code by simply silencing the logger at creation as
opposed to conditionally logging everywhere.
Displays the return values of the current function when we step out of
it after executing a step, next or stepout command.
Implementation of this feature is tricky: when the function has
returned the return variables are not in scope anymore. Implementing
this feature requires evaluating variables that are out of scope, using
a stack frame that doesn't exist anymore.
We can't calculate the address of these variables when the
next/step/stepout command is initiated either, because between that
point and the time where the stepout breakpoint is actually hit the
goroutine stack could grow and be moved to a different memory address.
Add a new method "Common" to proc.Process that returns a pointer to a
struct that pkg/proc can use to store its things, independently of the
backend.
This is used here to replace the AllGCache typecasts, it will also be
used to store the return values of the stepout breakpoint and the state
for injected function calls.
Go1.11 uses the is_stmt flag of .debug_line to communicate which
assembly instructions are good places for breakpoints, we should
respect this flag.
These changes were introduced by:
* https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/102435/
Additionally when setting next breakpoints ignore all PC addresses that
belong to the same line as the one currently under at the cursor. This
matches the behavior of gdb and avoids stopping multiple times at the
heading line of a for statement with go1.11.
Change: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/110416 adds the
prologue_end flag to the .debug_line section to communicate the end of
the stack-split prologue. We should use it instead of pattern matching
the disassembly when available.
Fixes#550
type of interfaces
'c7cde8b'.
Change the linux verison of proc/native and proc/gdbserial (with

delve is launched in headless mode.
Windows already worked, proc/gdbserial (with rr) already worked.
I couldn't find a way to make proc/gdbserial (with lldb-server) work.
No tests are added because I can't think of a way to test for
