[lldb] Add WebAssembly Process Plugin (#150143) Extend support in LLDB for WebAssembly. This PR adds a new Process plugin (ProcessWasm) that extends ProcessGDBRemote for WebAssembly targets. It adds support for WebAssembly's memory model with separate address spaces, and the ability to fetch the call stack from the WebAssembly runtime. I have tested this change with the WebAssembly Micro Runtime (WAMR, https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasm-micro-runtime) which implements a GDB debug stub and supports the qWasmCallStack packet. ``` (lldb) process connect --plugin wasm connect://localhost:4567 Process 1 stopped * thread #1, name = 'nobody', stop reason = trace frame #0: 0x40000000000001ad wasm32_args.wasm`main: -> 0x40000000000001ad <+3>: global.get 0 0x40000000000001b3 <+9>: i32.const 16 0x40000000000001b5 <+11>: i32.sub 0x40000000000001b6 <+12>: local.set 0 (lldb) b add Breakpoint 1: where = wasm32_args.wasm`add + 28 at test.c:4:12, address = 0x400000000000019c (lldb) c Process 1 resuming Process 1 stopped * thread #1, name = 'nobody', stop reason = breakpoint 1.1 frame #0: 0x400000000000019c wasm32_args.wasm`add(a=<unavailable>, b=<unavailable>) at test.c:4:12 1 int 2 add(int a, int b) 3 { -> 4 return a + b; 5 } 6 7 int (lldb) bt * thread #1, name = 'nobody', stop reason = breakpoint 1.1 * frame #0: 0x400000000000019c wasm32_args.wasm`add(a=<unavailable>, b=<unavailable>) at test.c:4:12 frame #1: 0x40000000000001e5 wasm32_args.wasm`main at test.c:12:12 frame #2: 0x40000000000001fe wasm32_args.wasm ``` This PR is based on an unmerged patch from Paolo Severini: https://reviews.llvm.org/D78801. I intentionally stuck to the foundations to keep this PR small. I have more PRs in the pipeline to support the other features/packets. My motivation for supporting Wasm is to support debugging Swift compiled to WebAssembly: https://www.swift.org/documentation/articles/wasm-getting-started.html
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.
For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.
Join the LLVM Discourse forums, Discord chat, LLVM Office Hours or Regular sync-ups.
The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
