Add a breakpoint override resolver feature to lldb (#195392) This is a general mechanism that allows a custom breakpoint resolver to "override" the resolver lldb would have used. It is implemented by making a scripted breakpoint resolver class, implementing an extra "overrides_resolver" method. When lldb has decided what resolver it is going to use for the breakpoint, if there are any override resolvers registered, it will pass the serialized form of the resolver to the `overrides_resolver` method of the registered resolvers. If any of the override resolvers return true from the overrides_resolver method, that resolver will be used in place of the one lldb would have used. The original motivation for this feature is to make the support of "debugging a scripting language from the implementation side". We added the notion of "facade breakpoints" so that a location given in the context of the scripting language can be handled by the emulation code. But when you are using lldb in some IDE, when "stopped" in the scripting language, the IDE will show the scripting language source. It is natural in that case for the user to expect the UI gesture to set a file and line breakpoint should work the same way. To implement that, the implementor would make their facade breakpoint resolver also an override resolver that checks to see if the incoming resolver was a file and line breakpoint for a source file of the scripting language type. If it is, it returns true, and lldb will use that resolver instead. Note, this will also work when breakpoints are set on the command line, so you can transparently support "scripting language" breakpoints from the command line as well.
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
