Well, I am much happier now that I understand about dsymutil, and can actually step through my program in gdb. However, there are still some issues that are puzzling me. 1) First off, the debugger appears to stop at odd points. The IR for my main function looks correct to me: define i32 @"main(tart.core.Array[tart.core.String])->int"(%"tart.core.Array[tart.core.String]"*

Problem 1: I tried llvm-db of LLVM 1.6, in the Linux environment. However, it always prompts the following info for different tests: ====================================== :> llvm-db a.out.bc llvm-db: The LLVM source-level debugger Loading program... successfully loaded 'a.out.bc'! (llvm-db) run Starting program: a.out.bc Error: Error waiting for the child process to stop. It exited

Hi, It's taking me a while to get familiar with the cfe in order to add emitting stop points for debugging. It's a lot to work through, so in order to speed things up, I've got a few questions. Any help would be appreciated. I understand the design of the intrinsics once they're in the code, but how to generate them is still a little fuzzy, mainly because llvm_expand is a little

Dear Staff, I am asking this question: given a line of IR code in *.ll file, how can I know the corresponding line number and C/C++ source file name for this IR code? I am investigating some code patterns with LLVM IR, I need to know where this IR code come from (the line number in a source file name). An existing way is using -g option to compile my software, then I can

Hi All, Today, debugging information is encoded in LLVM IR using various llvm.dbg intrinsics, such as llvm.dbg.stoppoint. For exmaple, !1 = metadata !{i32 458769, i32 0, i32 12, metadata !"foo.c", metadata !"/tmp", metadata !"clang 1.0", i1 true, i1 false, metadata !"", i32 0} ... call void @llvm.dbg.stoppoint(i32 5, i32 5, metadata !1) store i32

I'm trying to generate the declarations for function intrinsics, and I must be misunderstanding how to create new functions - I saw that a function with no basic blocks is treated as a declaration, so I tried to just create one and add it to the globals list: llvm_type *structTy, *ptrToStructTy; structTy = llvm_type_create_struct(0, 0); structTy =

Hi, I'm just getting back to working on the cfe debug info after a brief hiatus. It appears that the appropriate place to be inserting stoppoints is starting in llvm_expand_stmt, using STMT_LINENO(t) . If that's not the best place, comments would be appreciated. Using the debug_hooks seems to be a non-starter, because they're called during rtl generation, which apparently isn't

Thanks for the info regarding DebugLoc field. Another related question that I have is regarding debug info for local variables. With -fast option, ISD::DECLARE nodes are created in DAG for debug info of local variables. I am planning to custom handle these nodes, get the required info from llvm.dbg.variable global address and emit it in ISel. But without -fast option ISD::DECLARE nodes

Dear Staff, Here are some questions on the output formats of AliasSetTracker. The code is as below: int G1 = 9; int G2 = 5; int main() { int * XX; int * YY; XX = &G1; YY = XX; YY = &G2; XX = &G2; } The output for -anders-aa is: Alias Set Tracker: 5 alias sets for 4 pointer values. AliasSet[0xea6fb0,0] may alias, Mod/Ref 10 Call Sites: void ({ }*)*

Hi, Im new to llvm and I'm using llvm-2.6 and I know how to extract the metadata in the stoppoints but what I'm interested in is the meta data regarding a local variable. I know that the @llvm.dgb.declare such as: call void @llvm.dbg.declare({ }* %2, { }* bitcast (%llvm.dbg.variable.type* @llvm.dbg.variable9 to { }*)) links to meta data for @llvm.dbg.variable9 which is:

Quoting Eli Friedman <eli.friedman at gmail.com>: Dear Eli, Thanks very much for your reply. I have modified the XX and YY to be global variables, but the output of AliasSetTracker are still MUST alias: Alias Set Tracker: 5 alias sets for 4 pointer values. AliasSet[0xea55d0,0] may alias, Mod/Ref 8 Call Sites: void ({ }*)* @llvm.dbg.func.start, void (i32, i32, { }*)*

I'm playing around with different combinations of LTO passes, and I've run into a strange problem: I have a 'main' function that looks like this: define i32 @"main(tart.core.Array[tart.core.String])->int"(%"tart.core.Array[tart.core.String]"* %args) { entry: call void @llvm.dbg.func.start(metadata !0) call void @llvm.dbg.stoppoint(i32 2, i32 19, metadata

I need to generate line number debug information for PIC16 target. PIC16 does not support dwarf format. It supports coff format. So I need to custom handle the STOPPOINT nodes. Without -fast option the STOPPOINT nodes are not created in dag because of the below check in SelectionDAGBuild.cpp if (Fast) DAG.setRoot(DAG.getDbgStopPoint(getRoot(), If I give -fast option then the Fast

hi, According to the llvm docs, llvm will generate global variable information such as llvm.dbg.global_variable.type which contains the line number and original name of global variables. But I tried on llvm-1.8 with -g, no such debug intrinsic functions are dumped, I only see some stoppoint, func.start. Are there any secrete options I should pass to llvm-gcc? Thanks. -Jerry

Well, after some investigation I have a few more clues as to what is going on. I have a module which contains a call to an external native function. This native function lives in a static library, and there is an external declaration for it in the module. I find that I can run "llvm-ld -disable-opts -native -l mylibrary test.bc" and it works fine. That is, llvm-ld is able to
