The Unwind and RegisterContext subclasses still need
to be finished; none of this code is used by lldb at
this point (unless you call into it by hand).
The ObjectFile class now has an UnwindTable object.
The UnwindTable object has a series of FuncUnwinders
objects (Function Unwinders) -- one for each function
in that ObjectFile we've backtraced through during this
debug session.
The FuncUnwinders object has a few different UnwindPlans.
UnwindPlans are a generic way of describing how to find
the canonical address of a given function's stack frame
(the CFA idea from DWARF/eh_frame) and how to restore the
caller frame's register values, if they have been saved
by this function.
UnwindPlans are created from different sources. One source is the
eh_frame exception handling information generated by the compiler
for unwinding an exception throw. Another source is an assembly
language inspection class (UnwindAssemblyProfiler, uses the Plugin
architecture) which looks at the instructions in the funciton
prologue and describes the stack movements/register saves that are
done.
Two additional types of UnwindPlans that are worth noting are
the "fast" stack UnwindPlan which is useful for making a first
pass over a thread's stack, determining how many stack frames there
are and retrieving the pc and CFA values for each frame (enough
to create StackFrameIDs). Only a minimal set of registers is
recovered during a fast stack walk.
The final UnwindPlan is an architectural default unwind plan.
These are provided by the ArchDefaultUnwindPlan class (which uses
the plugin architecture). When no symbol/function address range can
be found for a given pc value -- when we have no eh_frame information
and when we don't have a start address so we can't examine the assembly
language instrucitons -- we have to make a best guess about how to
unwind. That's when we use the architectural default UnwindPlan.
On x86_64, this would be to assume that rbp is used as a stack pointer
and we can use that to find the caller's frame pointer and pc value.
It's a last-ditch best guess about how to unwind out of a frame.
There are heuristics about when to use one UnwindPlan versues the other --
this will all happen in the still-begin-written UnwindLLDB subclass of
Unwind which runs the UnwindPlans.

Modified lldb_private::Module to have an accessor that can be used to tell if
a module is a dynamic link editor (dyld) as there are functions in dyld on
darwin that mirror functions in libc (malloc, free, etc) that should not
be used when doing function lookups by name in expressions if there are more
than one match when looking up functions by name.

handles user settable internal variables (the equivalent of set/show
variables in gdb). In addition to the basic infrastructure (most of
which is defined in UserSettingsController.{h,cpp}, there are examples
of two classes that have been set up to contain user settable
variables (the Debugger and Process classes). The 'settings' command
has been modified to be a command-subcommand structure, and the 'set',
'show' and 'append' commands have been moved into this sub-commabnd
structure. The old StateVariable class has been completely replaced
by this, and the state variable dictionary has been removed from the
Command Interpreter. Places that formerly accessed the state variable
mechanism have been modified to access the variables in this new
structure instead (checking the term-width; getting/checking the
prompt; etc.)
Variables are attached to classes; there are two basic "flavors" of
variables that can be set: "global" variables (static/class-wide), and
"instance" variables (one per instance of the class). The whole thing
has been set up so that any global or instance variable can be set at
any time (e.g. on start up, in your .lldbinit file), whether or not
any instances actually exist (there's a whole pending and default
values mechanism to help deal with that).

execution context only when the process is still alive. When running the test
suite, the debugger is launching and killing processes constantly.
This might be the cause of the test hang as reported in rdar://problem/8377854,
where the debugger was looping infinitely trying to update a supposedly stale
thread list.

might dump file paths that allows the dumping of full paths or just the
basenames. Switched the stack frame dumping code to use just the basenames for
the files instead of the full path.
Modified the StackID class to no rely on needing the start PC for the current
function/symbol since we can use the SymbolContextScope to uniquely identify
that, unless there is no symbol context scope. In that case we can rely upon
the current PC value. This saves the StackID from having to calculate the
start PC when the StackFrame::GetStackID() accessor is called.
Also improved the StackID less than operator to correctly handle inlined stack
frames in the same stack.
llvm-svn: 112867
function statics, file globals and static variables) that a frame contains.
The StackFrame objects can give out ValueObjects instances for
each variable which allows us to track when a variable changes and doesn't
depend on variable names when getting value objects.
StackFrame::GetVariableList now takes a boolean to indicate if we want to
get the frame compile unit globals and static variables.
The value objects in the stack frames can now correctly track when they have
been modified. There are a few more tweaks needed to complete this work. The
biggest issue is when stepping creates partial stacks (just frame zero usually)
and causes previous stack frames not to match up with the current stack frames
because the previous frames only has frame zero. We don't really want to
require that all previous frames be complete since stepping often must check
stack frames to complete their jobs. I will fix this issue tomorrow.
llvm-svn: 112800
documentation. Symbol now inherits from the symbol
context scope so that the StackID can use a "SymbolContextScope *"
instead of a blockID (which could have been the same as some other
blockID from another symbol file).
Modified the stacks that are created on subsequent stops to reuse
the previous stack frame objects which will allow for some internal
optimization using pointer comparisons during stepping.
llvm-svn: 112495
swaps on the variable list, value object list, and disassembly. This avoids
us having to try and update frame indexes and other things that were getting
out of sync.

has inlined functions that all started at the same address, then the inlined
backtrace would not produce correct stack frames.
Also cleaned up and inlined a lot of stuff in lldb_private::Address.
Added a function to StackFrame to detect if the frame is a concrete frame so
we can detect the difference between actual frames and inlined frames.
llvm-svn: 111989
complex inlined examples.
StackFrame classes don't have a "GetPC" anymore, they have "GetFrameCodeAddress()".
This is because inlined frames will have a PC value that is the same as the
concrete frame that owns the inlined frame, yet the code locations for the
frame can be different. We also need to be able to get the real PC value for
a given frame so that variables evaluate correctly. To get the actual PC
value for a frame you can use:
addr_t pc = frame->GetRegisterContext()->GetPC();
Some issues with the StackFrame stomping on its own symbol context were
resolved which were causing the information to change for a frame when the
stack ID was calculated. Also the StackFrame will now correctly store the
symbol context resolve flags for any extra bits of information that were
looked up (if you ask for a block only and you find one, you will alwasy have
the compile unit and function).
