evalFunctionCall needs to remove the breakpoint from the current thread
after starting the function call injection, otherwise Continue will
think that the thread is stopped at a breakpoint and return to the user
instead of continuing the call injection.
Removes the restriction that the DWARF type for the receiver of a method
must be a TypeDef. This seems reasonable in practice, but it turns out
Go DWARF does not consider
```
type X int
```
to be a typedef. This patch also allows for calling a method where the
receiver is not used or passed in, such as:
```
func (_ X) Method() { println("why") }
```
Trust argument order to determine argument frame layout when calling
functions, this allows calling optimized functions and removes the
special cases for runtime.mallocgc.
Fixes#1589
Allow changing the value of a string variable to a new literal string,
which requires calling runtime.mallocgc to allocate the string into the
target process.
This means that a command like:
call f("some string")
is now supported.
Additionally the command:
call s = "some string"
is also supported.
Fixes#826
* proc: support nested function calls
Changes the code in fncall.go to support nested function calls.
This changes delays argument evaluation until after we have used
the call injection protocol to allocate an argument frame. When
evaluating the parse tree of an expression we'll initiate each
function call we find on the way down and then complete the function
call on the way up.
For example. in:
f(g(x))
we will:
1. initiate the call injection protocol for f(...)
2. progress it until the point where we have space for the arguments
of 'f' (i.e. when we receive the debugCallAXCompleteCall message
from the target runtime)
3. inititate the call injection protocol for g(...)
4. progress it until the point where we have space for the arguments
of 'g'
5. copy the value of x into the argument frame of 'g'
6. finish the call to g(...)
7. copy the return value of g(x) into the argument frame of 'f'
8. finish the call to f(...)
Updates #119
* proc: bugfix: closure addr was wrong for non-closure functions
The initial implementation of the 'call' command required the
function call to be the root expression, i.e. something like:
double(3) + 1
was not allowed, because the root expression was the binary operator
'+', not the function call.
With this change expressions like the one above and others are
allowed.
This is the first step necessary to implement nested function calls
(where the result of a function call is used as argument to another
function call).
This is implemented by replacing proc.CallFunction with
proc.EvalExpressionWithCalls. EvalExpressionWithCalls will run
proc.(*EvalScope).EvalExpression in a different goroutine. This
goroutine, the 'eval' goroutine, will communicate with the main
goroutine of the debugger by means of two channels: continueRequest
and continueCompleted.
The eval goroutine evaluates the expression recursively, when
a function call is encountered it takes care of setting up the
function call on the target program and writes a request to the
continueRequest channel, this causes the 'main' goroutine to restart
the target program by calling proc.Continue.
Whenever Continue encounters a breakpoint that belongs to the
function call injection protocol (runtime.debugCallV1 and associated
functions) it writes to continueCompleted which resumes the 'eval'
goroutine.
The 'eval' goroutine takes care of implementing the function call
injection protocol.
When the expression is fully evaluated the 'eval' goroutine will
write a special message to 'continueRequest' signaling that the
expression evaluation is terminated which will cause Continue to
return to the user.
Updates #119
Normally variables that have a named struct as a type will get a
typedef entry as their type, sometimes however the Go linker will
decide to use the DW_TAG_structure_type entry instead.
For consistency always wrap a struct type into a typedef when we are
creating a new variables (see comment in newVariable for exceptions).
This fixes a bug where it would be impossible to call methods on a
global variable.
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.
