Read the command line of the main target process as well as any other
process Delve attaches to in follow exec mode.
The command line can be viewed using the 'target list' command.
In follow exec mode this command line is used to match the follow exec
regex to decide whether or not to attach to a child process.
On macOS or when using rr the list of arguments is not available for
attached processes since there is no way to use the gdb serial protocol
to read it.
Fixes#2242
Changes FindLocation to support multiple targets and adds an AddrPid
member to api.Breakpoint so that clients can set breakpoints by address
when multiple targets are connected (but at them moment this field is
ignored).
Updates #1653
Updates #2551
Go 1.20 switched to uint64 to represent goroutine IDs, we can't
actually follow suit because we have allowed clients to use -1 to refer
to the currently selected goroutine, however we should at least switch
to int64 and also update the rtype check to accept the 1.20 type.
Adds a LogicalBreakpoint type to represent logical breakpoints
explicitly. Until now logical breakpoints were constructed implicitly
by grouping physical breakpoints together by their LogicalID.
Having logical breakpoints represented explicitly allows for a simpler
implementation of disabled breakpoints, as well as allowing a simple
implementation of delayed breakpoints (#1653, #2551) and in general of
breakpoints spanning multiple processes if we implement debugging
process trees (#2551).
Updates #1653
Updates #2551
When printing breakpoints on generic functions use the function name
without parameters instead of using the name of the first instantiation
that appears on the list.
Internal breakpoints do not need IDs and assigning them from a counter
separate from the user ID counter can be a cause of confusion.
If a user breakpoint is overlayed on top of a pre-existing internal
breakpoint the temporary ID will be surfaced as if it was a user ID,
possibly conflicting with another user ID.
If a temporary breakpoint is overlayed on top of a pre-existing user
breakpoint and the user breakpoint is first deleted and then
re-created, the user ID will be resurrected along with the breakpoint,
instead of allocating a fresh one.
This change removes internal breakpoint IDs entirely, only user
breakpoints receive an ID.
Log points are special kinds of breakpoints that do not 'break' but instead log a message and then continue. This change implements basic log points that simply log the provided message, without any interpolation.
In order to resume execution after hitting a breakpoint, I added a new lock resumeMu and tracked the running state within the DAP server. resumeMu must be held in order to issue a debugger request that would start execution. This means it can be used to make sure that another goroutine does not resume execution while you are holding the lock.
Most of the synchronization logic is taken from PR #2530
Updates golang/vscode-go#123
Changes Breakpoint to allow multiple overlapping internal breakpoints
on the same instruction address.
This is done by changing the Breakpoint structure to contain a list of
"breaklets", each breaklet has a BreakpointKind and a condition
expression, independent of the other.
A breakpoint is considered active if any of its breaklets are active.
A breakpoint is removed when all its breaklets are removed.
We also change the terminology "internal breakpoint" to "stepping
breakpoint":
HasInternalBreakpoints -> HasSteppingBreakpoints
IsInternal -> IsStepping
etc...
The motivation for this change is implementing watchpoints on stack
variables.
Watching a stack variable requires also setting a special breakpoint to
find out when the variable goes out of scope. These breakpoints can not
be UserBreakpoints because only one user breakpoint is allowed on the
same instruction and they can not be internal breakpoints because they
should not be cleared when a next operation is completed (they should
be cleared when the variable watch is cleared).
Updates #279
* proc: support new Go 1.17 panic/defer mechanism
Go 1.17 will create wrappers for deferred calls that take arguments.
Change defer reading code so that wrappers are automatically unwrapped.
Also the deferred function is called directly by runtime.gopanic, without going through runtime.callN which means that sometimes when a panic happens the stack is either:
0. deferred function call
1. deferred call wrapper
2. runtime.gopanic
or:
0. deferred function call
1. runtime.gopanic
instead of always being:
0. deferred function call
1. runtime.callN
2. runtime.gopanic
the isPanicCall check is changed accordingly.
* test: miscellaneous minor test fixes for Go 1.17
* proc: resolve inlined calls when stepping out of runtime.breakpoint
Calls to runtime.Breakpoint are inlined in Go 1.17 when inlining is
enabled, resolve inlined calls in stepInstructionOut.
* proc: add support for debugCallV2 with regabi
This change adds support for the new debug call protocol which had to
change for the new register ABI introduced in Go 1.17.
Summary of changes:
- Abstracts over the debug call version depending on the Go version
found in the binary.
- Uses R12 instead of RAX as the debug protocol register when the binary
is from Go 1.17 or later.
- Creates a variable directly from the DWARF entry for function
arguments to support passing arguments however the ABI expects.
- Computes a very conservative stack frame size for the call when
injecting a call into a Go process whose version is >=1.17.

* proc/core: off-by-one error reading ELF core files
core.(*splicedMemory).ReadMemory checked the entry interval

* 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.

Move the conversion of some 'proc' types from service/debugger into
service/rpc1 and service/rpc2. The methods of
service/debugger.(*Debugger) are also used by service/dap which
requires these types to be converted differently and converting them
twice is inefficent and doesn't make much sense.
Updates #2161
When reading truncated core files GoroutinesInfo will sometimes produce
some proc.G structs with only the Unreadable field set. These proc.G
can not be used for anything, but the service layer will still try to
convert them.
Since they are not fully initialized parts of the conversion will fail,
api.ConvertGoroutine should not try to call methods of unreadable
goroutines.

Changes implementations of proc.Registers interface and the
op.DwarfRegisters struct so that floating point registers can be loaded
only when they are needed.
Removes the floatingPoint parameter from proc.Thread.Registers.
This accomplishes three things:
1. it simplifies the proc.Thread.Registers interface
2. it makes it impossible to accidentally create a broken set of saved
registers or of op.DwarfRegisters by accidentally calling
Registers(false)
3. it improves general performance of Delve by avoiding to load
floating point registers as much as possible
Floating point registers are loaded under two circumstances:
1. When the Slice method is called with floatingPoint == true
2. When the Copy method is called

* *: 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.
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
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).

Reduces conditional breakpoint latency from 2.2ms to 1.7ms.
Updates #1549, #1838
Modifies FindFileLocation, FindFunctionLocation and LineToPC as well as
service/debugger to support inlining and introduces the concept of
logical breakpoints.
For inlined functions FindFileLocation, FindFunctionLocation and
LineToPC will now return one PC address for each inlining and one PC
for the concrete implementation of the function (if present).
A proc.Breakpoint will continue to represent a physical breakpoint, at
a single memory location.
Breakpoints returned by service/debugger, however, will represent
logical breakpoints and may be associated with multiple memory
locations and, therefore, multiple proc.Breakpoints.
The necessary logic is introduced in service/debugger so that a change
to a logical breakpoint will be mirrored to all its physical
breakpoints and physical breakpoints are aggregated into a single
logical breakpoint when returned.
This change splits the BinaryInfo object into a slice of Image objects
containing information about the base executable and each loaded shared
library (note: go plugins are shared libraries).
Delve backens are supposed to call BinaryInfo.AddImage whenever they
detect that a new shared library has been loaded.
Member fields of BinaryInfo that are used to speed up access to dwarf
(Functions, packageVars, consts, etc...) remain part of BinaryInfo and
are updated to reference the correct image object. This simplifies this
change.
This approach has a few shortcomings:
1. Multiple shared libraries can define functions or globals with the
same name and we have no way to disambiguate between them.
2. We don't have a way to handle library unloading.
Both of those affect C shared libraries much more than they affect go
plugins. Go plugins can't be unloaded at all and a lot of name
collisions are prevented by import paths.
There's only one problem that is concerning: if two plugins both import
the same package they will end up with multiple definition for the same
function.
For example if two plugins use fmt.Printf the final in-memory image
(and therefore our BinaryInfo object) will end up with two copies of
fmt.Printf at different memory addresses. If a user types
break fmt.Printf
a breakpoint should be created at *both* locations.
Allowing this is a relatively complex change that should be done in a
different PR than this.
For this reason I consider this approach an acceptable and sustainable
stopgap.
Updates #865
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.
Users can create sparse maps in two ways, either by:
a) adding lots of entries to a map and then deleting most of them, or
b) using the make(mapType, N) expression with a very large N
When this happens reading the resulting map will be very slow
because loadMap needs to scan many buckets for each entry it finds.
Technically this is not a bug, the user just created a map that's
very sparse and therefore very slow to read. However it's very
annoying to have the debugger hang for several seconds when trying
to read the local variables just because one of them (which you
might not even be interested into) happens to be a very sparse map.
There is an easy mitigation to this problem: not reading any
additional buckets once we know that we have already read all
entries of the map, or as many entries as we need to fulfill the
MaxArrayValues parameter.
Unfortunately this is mostly useless, a VLSM (Very Large Sparse Map)
with a single entry will still be slow to access, because the single
entry in the map could easily end up in the last bucket.
The obvious solution to this problem is to set a limit to the
number of buckets we read when loading a map. However there is no
good way to set this limit.
If we hardcode it there will be no way to print maps that are beyond
whatever limit we pick.
We could let users (or clients) specify it but the meaning of such
knob would be arcane and they would have no way of picking a good
value (because there is no objectively good value for it).
The solution used in this commit is to set an arbirtray limit on
the number of buckets we read but only when loadMap is invoked
through API calls ListLocalVars and ListFunctionArgs. In this way
`ListLocalVars` and `ListFunctionArgs` (which are often invoked
automatically by GUI clients) remain fast even in presence of a
VLSM, but the contents of the VLSM can still be inspected using
`EvalVariable`.
This patch allows the `trace` CLI subcommand to display return values of
a function. Additionally, it will also display information on where the
function exited, which could also be helpful in determining the path
taken during function execution.
Fixes#388
Adds -defer flag to the stack command that decorates the stack traces
by associating each stack frame with its deferred calls.
Reworks proc.next to use this feature instead of using proc.DeferPC,
laying the groundwork to implement #1240.
Adds a configuration option (show-location-expr) that when activated
will cause the whatis command to also print the DWARF location
expression for a variable.
Conditional breakpoints with unmet conditions would cause next and step
to skip the line.
This breakpoint changes the Kind field of proc.Breakpoint from a single
value to a bit field, each breakpoint object can represent
simultaneously a user breakpoint and one internal breakpoint (of which
we have several different kinds).
The breakpoint condition for internal breakpoints is stored in the new
internalCond field of proc.Breakpoint so that it will not conflict with
user specified conditions.
The breakpoint setting code is changed to allow overlapping one
internal breakpoint on a user breakpoint, or a user breakpoint on an
existing internal breakpoint. All other combinations are rejected. The
breakpoint clearing code is changed to clear the UserBreakpoint bit and
only remove the phisical breakpoint if no other bits are set in the
Kind field. ClearInternalBreakpoints does the same thing but clearing
all bits that aren't the UserBreakpoint bit.
