Hi debuginfo-cabal, tl;dr: Let's please consider using a new implementation of LiveDebugValues that produces richer information, might be slightly faster, but mostly will support the instruction referencing and value tracking paradigm from my RFC [0] rather than the location tracking that LiveDebugValues does today. In that RFC, the main motivator is to treat variable locations a bit more

Hi debug-info folks, Time for another update on the variable location "instruction referencing" implementation I've been doing, see this RFC [0, 1] for background. It's now at the point where I'd call it "done" (as far as software ever is), and so it's a good time to look at what results it produces. And here are the scores-on-the-doors using llvm-locstats, on

The most obvious place where it is lacking at the moment is that it only supports DBG_VALUEs in registers. Adding support for constant values, memory locations, and fp constants would be a big win! thanks, Adrian > On May 11, 2016, at 2:52 PM, Francois Pichet <pichet2000 at gmail.com> wrote: > > In retrospect I totally agree with you.

Awesome to read how it's coming along - I'm mostly aside from the debug location work, but had just one or two clarifying questions On Fri, Nov 6, 2020 at 10:27 AM Jeremy Morse <jeremy.morse.llvm at gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi debug-info folks, > > Time for another update on the variable location "instruction referencing" > implementation I've been doing,

The TII::emitFrameIndexDebugValue() hook is

I'm investigating a bug associated with debug information that manifests itself in the XCore backend (PR11105). I'd like to understand what the expected behavior of eliminateFrameIndex() is when it is called on a dbg_value machine instruction. Currently the XCore target replaces the frame index with the frame register and sets the next operand to the byte offset from the frame

The thing that worries me is the over-complicated lattices -- I didn't anticipate the problem, and there's a risk that it's more complex than it needs to be. As it

Hi, (Resent with proper subject line) I recently found myself in trouble because the crash I had disappeared with -g, so I could not debug the program. This happened because the optimizer did not remember to consider DBG_VALUEs instruction so it changed its behavior, and the bug went hiding. I then started discussing this onhttps://reviews.llvm.org/D45878, and

> I don't see how this is a meaningful distinction in LLVM IR. In LLVM IR we only have SSA values. An SSA value could be an alloca, or a gep into an alloca, or spilled onto the stack at the MIR level, in which case the dbg.value should get lowered into a memory location (if it isn't explicitly a DW_OP_stack_value). I think the distinction is still important; even at the IR level, if we

I have been investigating missing variables / incorrect variable values when debugging code compiled at -O1 (and above) and believe that I have tracked the issue down to the interaction of the generation of IR @llvm.dbg.value entries and phi nodes. I would welcome someone who is more familiar with the generation of debug information to help me determine if what I think is going wrong is correct

Hi David, Thanks for your comments! I just want to add that I think it would neat if the entry values could map into multi-location dbg.values and DBG_VALUEs that are being proposed on this list. For example, if we have: int local = param1 + param2 + 123; I think it would be good if we would be able to to represent the four different permutations of the values of the parameters being

Here is a proposal for improving DbgValueHistoryCalculator and the overall quality of debug locations. Focus: This is about lowering the DBG_VALUE machine instructions to DWARF location lists. Non-focus: This is not about (typical -O0) variables that permanently reside at a frame index and are described with dbg.declare intrinsics in the IR. These variables are stored in the MMI side-table and

Hi all, The debug entry values feature introduces new DWARF symbols (tags, attributes, operations) on caller (call site) as well as on callee side; and the intention is to improve debugging user experience by using the functionality (especially in “optimized” code by turning “<optimized_out>” values into real values). The call site information includes info about call itself (described with
