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
Like we do with unrecovered panics, create a default breakpoint to
catch runtime errors that will cause the program to terminate.
Primarily intended to give users the opportunity to examine the state
of a deadlocked process.
runtime.clone (on some operating systems?) work similarly to fork:
when a thread calls runtime.clone a new thread is created. For a
short period of time both the parent thread and the child thread
appear to be running the same goroutine, until the child thread
adjusts its TLS to point to the correct goroutine.
This means that proc.GetG for a thread that's currently running
'runtime.clone' could be wrong and, consequently, the field
proc.(G).thread of a G struct returned by GoroutinesInfo could be
also wrong. And, finally, that FindGoroutine could sometimes return
a *G with a bad associated thread if the goroutine of interest
recently called 'runtime.clone'.
To work around this problem this commit makes two changes:
1. proc.GetG will return nil for all threads executing runtime.clone.
2. FindGoroutine will return the selected goroutine as long as the
ID matches the one requested.
Change (1) takes care of the 'runtime.clone' problem. If we stop
the target process shortly after a thread executed the SYSCALL
instruction in 'runtime.clone' there are three possibilities:
a. Both the parent thread and the child thread are stopped inside
'runtime.clone'. In this case the state we report is slightly
incorrect, because both threads will be reported as not running any
goroutine when we do know which goorutine one of them (the parent)
is running. This doesn't actually matter since runtime.clone is
always called on the system stack and therefore the goroutine in
runtime.allgs will have the correct location.
b. The child thread managed to exit 'runtime.clone' but the parent
thread didn't. This is similar to (a) but in this case GetG on the
child thread will return the correct goroutine. GetG on the parent
thread will still return (incorrectly) nil but this doesn't matter
for the samer reason as described in (a).
c. The parent thread managed to exit 'runtime.clone' but the child
thread didn't. In this case GetG will return the correct goroutine
both for the parent thread (because it's not executing runtime.clone)
and the child thread.
Change (2) means that even if a thread has a completely nonsensical
TLS (for example because it's set through cgo) evaluating a variable
with a valid GoroutineID will still work as long as it's the current
goroutine (which is the most common case). This change also doubles
as an optimization for FindGoroutine.
Fixes#1469
When compression is applied by default running the DWZ tool on the
resulting binary will crash.
The actual default compression code will look and see if compression
makes any difference and if so replace the normal `.debug_*` section
with `.zdebug_*`. This is why it may not have been hit before. On one of
my workstations I build with 1.12rc1 and no compression happens, but on
a Fedora VM I build and the binary results in compressed DWARF sections.
Adding this flag will make this test more consistent overall.
Add new version to CHANGELOG and update internal version.

* config/config.go
This change checks for the environmental variable XDG_CONFIG_HOME
before storing the configuration file in the home directory.
Closes#1454
* config/config.go
This change attempts to move the previous config file location to the
new XDG_CONFIG_HOME compliant location on linux systems or when
XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set.
This change removes the old config file location if the file is
successfully moved.
* config/config.go
Consolidate messages about config moving and clean up into one.
Remove extraneous newlines.
* pkg/config: config path error messages print to stderr
This change updates the output location of error messages related to
the config path. This will prevent clients from getting unexpected output
when an error occurs.
* pkg/config: Update path used when returning unable to move config error
This change fixes the error message when Delve was unable to move the config. Previously returned a FileInfo object not the file path.
* pkg/config: Remove check for stderr when printing error messages
* pkg/config: Move success message for moving config to stderr
This prevents the success message from being printed to stdout and
breaking frontends.
* pkg/config: Rename variable to be more descriptive
FindGoroutine can be slow when there are many goroutines running. This
can not be fixed in the general case, however:
1. Instead of getting the entire list of goroutines at once just get a
few at a time and return as soon as we find the one we want.
2. Since FindGoroutine is mostly called by ConvertEvalScope and users
are more likely to request informations about a goroutine running on a
thread, look within the threads first.
We forgot to run typecheckrpc.go periodically and it didn't work
anymore and there were some minor errors in service/rpc2/client.go.
Rewrite typecheckrpc.go using go/packages, so that it works with go1.11
and go.mod, and fix the issues in client.go
As specified in line dwarf/godwarf/type.go:507 the typeCache entry
should always be set before recursive calls to readType to avoid infite
recursion.
Most code in readType already does this but some of the code added
later to handle Go types was wrong.
Fix this bug and also fix the String and Size methods of Type so that
they handle recursive types "correctly" (i.e. they don't recur
forever).
No test is added for this since all legitimate uses of cyclical types
were already handled correctly and the malformed types emitted by the
go compiler will probably be removed in 1.12.

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.
Some build environments (such as when building RPMs) enjoy symlinking
things. This unfortunately causes our tests to fail as we record the
path of fixtures and use that when looking up file:line information.
However, the debug info in the binary records the original file
location, not the location of the symlink.
When casting an integer into a struct pointer we make a fake pointer
variable that doesn't have an address, maybeDereference and
structMember should still work on this kind of Variable.
Fixes#1432
The size of the TLS memory arena needs to be aligned to pointer sized
boundaries on 86x64 architectures, otherwise some programs using cgo
will not have the correct offset for the g struct.
No tests because reproducing this problem depends on behavior of the
GNU ld linker caused by unclear influences.
Fixes#1428.
Goroutine id == 0 is special (there can be many goroutines with id 0).
If the caller of FindGoroutine asks for gid==0 and current thread is
running a goroutine 0 (i.e. either no goroutine or a special
goroutine) return whatever goroutine is running on the current thread.
Updates #1428
* pkg/config: Using current directory to store config if getting user details fails.
This patch is to use current directory to store config file.
user.Current() call fails when dlv is run inside a container. (Alpine)
* Addressing comments
* Removed whitespace
* main_test: Fix "gopath mode" detection in projectRoot()
Fails detect that this is a "gopath mode" when GOPATH contains several paths ex. "d:\\dir\\gopath;f:\\dir\\gopath2"
If DebugInfoDirectories is empty, set it to same value as we have in the
default configuration.
This is useful for users which already have an older config file.
Otherwise the later call to ioutil.ReadAll will return an empty array.
This issue is visible from the user's perspective due to the new
debug-info-directories parameter, which does have a value in the default
config.
As a consequence, the first 'dlv' invocation fails to find the separate
debug info files, while the second one works as expected:
$ ./dlv core /usr/bin/dockerd-current /case/dockerd.1234
could not find external debug info file
$ ./dlv core /usr/bin/dockerd-current /case/dockerd.1234
Type 'help' for list of commands.
(dlv) exit
Minidumps are the windows equivalent of unix core files.
This commit updates pkg/proc/core so that it can open and read windows
minidumps.
Updates #794
If a function can be inlined it will appear as two entries in
debug_info. A DW_TAG_subprogram entry with DW_AT_inlined = true (that
will be used as the abstract origin) and a second DW_TAG_subprogram
entry with an abstract origin.
To retrieve the name of this second entry we must load its abstract
origin.
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.
It was never true that return variables were in the inverse order.
Instead in Go1.11 return variables are saved in debug_info in an
arbitrary order and inverting them just happened to work for this
specific example.
This bug was fixed in Go 1.12, regardless we should attempt to
rearrange return variables anyway.
When a location expression requests a register check that we have as
many bytes in the register as requested and if we don't report the
error.
Updates #1416
Instead of unconditionally returning all present goroutines,
GoroutinesInfo now allows specifying a range (start and count). In
addition to the array of goroutines and the error, it now also returns
the next goroutine to be processed, to be used as 'start' argument on
the next call, or 0 if all present goroutines have already been
processed.
This way clients can avoid eating large amounts of RAM while debugging
core dumps and processes with a exceptionally high amount of goroutines.
Fixes#1403
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).
