We want to provide more flexibility for users to make changes to their configurations while the debug session is running. This could be accomplished by creating a custom request, but that were require a new UI as well, and every client of dlv dap to provide its own UI for this. By using the evaluate context, users can use the already existing debug console to change their configurations.
This change includes a refactor of the terminal code in order to share the code with the dap package.
This change provides a very similar to UI as the terminal package, but there are different configuration options that are DAP specific. We plan to use this same mechanism to expose a few other commands including "sources" to help users debug an ineffective substitutePath configuration.
Adds watchpoint support to gdbserver backend for rr debugger and
debugserver on macOS/amd64 and macOS/arm64.
Also changes stack watchpoints to support reverse execution.
* terminal,service: add way to see internal breakpoints
Now that Delve has internal breakpoints that survive for long periods
of time it will be useful to have an option to display them.
* proc,terminal,service: support stack watchpoints
Adds support for watchpoints on stack allocated variables.
When a stack variable is watched, in addition to the normal watchpoint
some support breakpoints are created:
- one breakpoint inside runtime.copystack, used to adjust the address
of the watchpoint when the stack is resized
- one or more breakpoints used to detect when the stack variable goes
out of scope, those are similar to the breakpoints set by StepOut.
Implements #279
This patch implements fuzzy searching for tab completions in the
terminal client. Under the hood it is using a trie data structure
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trie) to perform very fast prefix / fuzzy
searches.
Ignore existing breakpoints when using the continue command to continue
to a specific location such as `continue main.main`. The point of this
command is to continue to a specific location, so if there is already a
breakpoint set there there should be no error returned, just continue
until we hit the breakpoint already set in that location.
Before this change when you typed `help` at the Delve prompt you would
only see the following:
```
examinemem (alias: x) Examine memory:
```
Now with this patch the output is more descriptive:
```
examinemem (alias: x) Examine raw memory at the given address.
```
* terminal: add prompt when breakpoint is hit during next/step/stepout
Adds a prompt asking the user what to do when a breakpoint is hit on a
different goroutine while next/step/stepout is being executed.
Gives the user the opportunity to cancel next/step/stepout, continue
once skipping the breakpoint or automatically skipping all other
concurrent breakpoints until next/step/stepout is finished.
Fixes#2317
* terminal: improve 'on' command
Adds the ability to edit the list of commands executed after stopping
on a breakpoint, as well as converting a breakpoint into a tracepoint
and vice versa.
Prior to this it was possible to add commands to a breakpoint but
removing commands or changing a breakpoint into a tracepoint, or vice
versa, could only be done by removing and recreating the breakpoint.
Adds filtering and grouping to the goroutines command.
The current implementation of the goroutines command is modeled after
the threads command of gdb. It works well for programs that have up to
a couple dozen goroutines but becomes unusable quickly after that.
This commit adds the ability to filter and group goroutines by several
different properties, allowing a better debugging experience on
programs that have hundreds or thousands of goroutines.
Ensure that any command executed after the process we are trying to
debug prints a correct and consistent exit status.
Previously the exit code was being lost after the first time we printed
that a process has exited. Additionally, certain commands would print
the PID of the process and other would not. This change makes everything
more correct and consistent.
Commit 30cdedae6910f5e9af6739845bacfd5b8778e745 introduced a dependency
from service/dap to pkg/terminal to call a stack printing function,
it's weird to have code that implements the DAP protocol depend on the
code for the JSON-RPC client.
Move PrintStack to a different package that can be called by both.
Apply a presentation hint to the internal runtime stack frames, so that these can be deemphasized in the UI. This should allow
users to more easily inspect their own code, and will keep the option to view those frames if they choose to.

Changes the expression evaluation code so that register names, when not
shadowed by local or global variables, will evaluate to the current
value of the corresponding CPU register.
This allows a greater flexibility with displaying CPU registers than is
possible with using the ListRegisters API call. Also it allows
debuggers users to view register values even if the frontend they are
using does not implement a register view.
* examinememory: evaluate addr as expression
This makes it easy to read memory locations at an offset of a known
address, e.g.:
x 0xc000046800 + 32
* use feedback from @aarzilli
- expression mode is now enabled via -x flag
- support "-x var", "-x &var" in addition to "-x <addr expr>"
- some refactoring

Changes print so a format argument can be specified by using '%' as
prefix. For example:
print %x d
will print variable 'd' in hexadecimal. The interpretarion of the
format argument is the same as that of fmt's package.

* Adds toggle command
Also adds two rpc2 tests for testing the new functionality
* Removes Debuggers' ToggleBreakpoint method
rpc2's ToggleBreakpoint now calls AmendBreakpoint
Refactors the ClearBreakpoint to avoid a lock.
* proc/core: off-by-one error reading ELF core files
core.(*splicedMemory).ReadMemory checked the entry interval
erroneously when dealing with contiguous entries.
* terminal,service,proc/*: adds dump command (gcore equivalent)
Adds the `dump` command that creates a core file from the target process.
Backends will need to implement a new, optional, method `MemoryMap` that
returns a list of mapped memory regions.
Additionally the method `DumpProcessNotes` can be implemented to write out
to the core file notes describing the target process and its threads. If
DumpProcessNotes is not implemented `proc.Dump` will write a description of
the process and its threads in a OS/arch-independent format (that only Delve
understands).
Currently only linux/amd64 implements `DumpProcessNotes`.
Core files are only written in ELF, there is no minidump or macho-o writers.
# Conflicts:
# pkg/proc/proc_test.go
Since proc is supposed to work independently from the target
architecture it shouldn't use architecture-dependent types, like
uintptr. For example when reading a 64bit core file on a 32bit
architecture, uintptr will be 32bit but the addresses proc needs to
represent will be 64bit.
Adds features to support default file descriptor redirects for the
target process:
1. A new command line flag '--redirect' and '-r' are added to specify
file redirects for the target process
2. New syntax is added to the 'restart' command to specify file
redirects.
3. Interactive instances will check if stdin/stdout and stderr are
terminals and print a helpful error message if they aren't.
* terminal/command: Add 'reload' command
These changes add the 'reload' command, which allows us to rebuild the project
and start the debugging session again. Currently, if the project's code is
updated while debugging it, Delve shows the new source code, but it's still
running the old one. With 'reload', the whole binary is rebuilt, and the
process starts again.

This issue causes a failure of TestTracePid that was observed in CI:
https://travis-ci.com/github/go-delve/delve/jobs/343053383
I'm not sure what causes it in this particular instance but there are
several ways in which a thread stopped at a breakpoint might have a
BreakpointInfo == nil field (see variable withBreakpointInfo in
debugger.Debugger.Command).
* cmd/dlv,debugger: Improve dlv trace and trace command output
This patch improves the `dlv trace` subcommand output by reducing the
noise that is generated and providing clearer more concise information.
Also adds new tests closing a gap in our testing (we previously never
really tested this subcommand).
This patch also fixes the `dlv trace` REPL command to behave like the
subcommand in certain situations. If the tracepoint is for a function,
we now show function arguements and return values properly.
Also makes the overall output of the trace subcommand clearer.
Fixes#2027
The option is "source-list-line-count". It defaults to 5, which was previously
hardcoded in printfile(), but now you can change it dynamically, for instance:
$ config source-list-line-count 20
$ list
Allows Delve clients to stop a recording midway by sending a
Command('halt')
request.
This is implemented by changing debugger.New to start recording the
process on a separate goroutine while holding the processMutex locked.
By locking the processMutex we ensure that almost all RPC requests will
block until the recording is done, since we can not respond correctly
to any of them.
API calls that do not require manipulating or examining the target
process, such as "IsMulticlient", "SetApiVersion" and
"GetState(nowait=true)" will work while we are recording the process.
Two other internal changes are made to the API: both GetState and
Restart become asynchronous requests, like Command. Restart because
this way it can be interrupted by a StopRecording request if the
rerecord option is passed.
GetState because clients need a call that will block until the
recording is compelted and can also be interrupted with a
StopRecording.
Clients that are uninterested in allowing the user to stop a recording
can ignore this change, since eventually they will make a request to
Delve that will block until the recording is completed.
Clients that wish to support this feature must:
1. call GetState(nowait=false) after connecting to Delve, before any
call that would need to manipulate the target process
2. allow the user to send a StopRecording request during the initial
GetState call
3. allow the user to send a StopRecording request during any subsequent
Restart(rerecord=true) request (if supported).
Implements #1747
* *: Fix go vet struct complaints
* *: Fix struct vet issue on linux
* *: Ignore proc/native in go vet check
We have to do some unsafe pointer manipulation that will never make go
vet happy within the proc/native package. Ignore it for runs of go vet.
* 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
1. Don't use intelligent '#' in fmt of go because it is not always satisfying
for diffrent version of golang. Always keep one leading zero for octal and
one leading '0x' for hex manually. Then keep alignment for every byte.
2. Always keep addr alignment when the lens of two adjacent address are
different.
Update #1814.
Adds an optional scope prefix to the `regs` command which allows
printing registers for any stack frame (as long as they were somehow
saved). Issue #1838 is not yet to be closed since we are still not
recovering the registers of a segfaulting frame.
Updates #1838
