Detailed Description

A plug-in interface definition class for dynamic loaders.

Dynamic loader plug-ins track image (shared library) loading and unloading. The class is initialized given a live process that is halted at its entry point or just after attaching.

Dynamic loader plug-ins can track the process by registering callbacks using the: Process::RegisterNotificationCallbacks (const Notifications&) function.

Breakpoints can also be set in the process which can register functions that get called using: Process::BreakpointSetCallback (lldb::user_id_t, BreakpointHitCallback, void *). These breakpoint callbacks return a boolean value that indicates if the process should continue or halt and should return the global setting for this using: DynamicLoader::StopWhenImagesChange() const.

Member Function Documentation

◆ AlwaysRelyOnEHUnwindInfo()

virtual bool lldb_private::DynamicLoader::AlwaysRelyOnEHUnwindInfo ( SymbolContext & sym_ctx )

inlinevirtual

Ask if the eh_frame information for the given SymbolContext should be relied on even when it's the first frame in a stack unwind.

The CFI instructions from the eh_frame section are normally only valid at call sites – places where a program could throw an exception and need to unwind out. But some Modules may be known to the system as having reliable eh_frame information at all call sites. This would be the case if the Module's contents are largely hand-written assembly with hand-written eh_frame information. Normally when unwinding from a function at the beginning of a stack unwind lldb will examine the assembly instructions to understand how the stack frame is set up and where saved registers are stored. But with hand-written assembly this is not reliable enough – we need to consult those function's hand-written eh_frame information.

Returns: True if the symbol context should use eh_frame instructions unconditionally when unwinding from this frame. Else false, the normal lldb unwind behavior of only using eh_frame when the function appears in the middle of the stack.

Reimplemented in DynamicLoaderPOSIXDYLD, and lldb_private::DynamicLoaderDarwin.

Definition at line 187 of file DynamicLoader.h.

◆ CanLoadImage()

virtual Status lldb_private::DynamicLoader::CanLoadImage ( )

pure virtual

Ask if it is ok to try and load or unload an shared library (image).

The dynamic loader often knows when it would be ok to try and load or unload a shared library. This function call allows the dynamic loader plug-ins to check any current dyld state to make sure it is an ok time to load a shared library.

Returns: true if it is currently ok to try and load a shared library into the process, false otherwise.

Implemented in DynamicLoaderMacOSXDYLD, DynamicLoaderDarwinKernel, DynamicLoaderMacOS, DynamicLoaderPOSIXDYLD, DynamicLoaderStatic, DynamicLoaderHexagonDYLD, lldb_private::DynamicLoaderWindowsDYLD, and lldb_private::wasm::DynamicLoaderWasmDYLD.

◆ DidAttach()

virtual void lldb_private::DynamicLoader::DidAttach ( )

pure virtual

Called after attaching a process.

Allow DynamicLoader plug-ins to execute some code after attaching to a process.

Implemented in DynamicLoaderDarwinKernel, DynamicLoaderPOSIXDYLD, DynamicLoaderStatic, lldb_private::DynamicLoaderDarwin, DynamicLoaderHexagonDYLD, lldb_private::DynamicLoaderWindowsDYLD, and lldb_private::wasm::DynamicLoaderWasmDYLD.

◆ DidLaunch()

virtual void lldb_private::DynamicLoader::DidLaunch ( )

pure virtual

Called after launching a process.

Allow DynamicLoader plug-ins to execute some code after the process has stopped for the first time on launch.

Implemented in DynamicLoaderDarwinKernel, DynamicLoaderPOSIXDYLD, DynamicLoaderStatic, lldb_private::DynamicLoaderDarwin, DynamicLoaderHexagonDYLD, lldb_private::DynamicLoaderWindowsDYLD, and lldb_private::wasm::DynamicLoaderWasmDYLD.

◆ FindEquivalentSymbols()

virtual void lldb_private::DynamicLoader::FindEquivalentSymbols	(	Symbol *	original_symbol,
		ModuleList &	module_list,
		SymbolContextList &	equivalent_symbols
	)

inlinevirtual

Some dynamic loaders provide features where there are a group of symbols "equivalent to" a given symbol one of which will be chosen when the symbol is bound.

If you want to set a breakpoint on one of these symbols, you really need to set it on all the equivalent symbols.

Parameters

[in]	original_symbol	The symbol for which we are finding equivalences.
[in]	module_list	The set of modules in which to search.
[out]	equivalent_symbols	The equivalent symbol list - any equivalent symbols found are appended to this list.

Reimplemented in lldb_private::DynamicLoaderDarwin.

◆ FindPlugin()

DynamicLoader * DynamicLoader::FindPlugin	(	Process *	process,
		const char *	plugin_name
	)

static

Find a dynamic loader plugin for a given process.

Scans the installed DynamicLoader plug-ins and tries to find an instance that can be used to track image changes in process.

Parameters

[in]	process	The process for which to try and locate a dynamic loader plug-in instance.
[in]	plugin_name	An optional name of a specific dynamic loader plug-in that should be used. If NULL, pick the best plug-in.

◆ GetSharedCacheInformation()

virtual bool lldb_private::DynamicLoader::GetSharedCacheInformation	(	lldb::addr_t &	base_address,
		UUID &	uuid,
		LazyBool &	using_shared_cache,
		LazyBool &	private_shared_cache
	)

inlinevirtual

Get information about the shared cache for a process, if possible.

On some systems (e.g. Darwin based systems), a set of libraries that are common to most processes may be put in a single region of memory and mapped into every process, this is called the shared cache, as a performance optimization.

Many targets will not have the concept of a shared cache.

Depending on how the DynamicLoader gathers information about the shared cache, it may be able to only return basic information - like the UUID of the cache - or it may be able to return additional information about the cache.

Parameters

[out]	base_address	The base address (load address) of the shared cache. LLDB_INVALID_ADDRESS if it cannot be determined.
[out]	uuid	The UUID of the shared cache, if it can be determined. If the UUID cannot be fetched, IsValid() will be false.
[out]	using_shared_cache	If this process is using a shared cache. If unknown, eLazyBoolCalculate is returned.
[out]	private_shared_cache	A LazyBool indicating whether this process is using a private shared cache. If this information cannot be fetched, eLazyBoolCalculate.

Returns: Returns false if this DynamicLoader cannot gather information about the shared cache / has no concept of a shared cache.

◆ GetStepThroughTrampolinePlan()

virtual lldb::ThreadPlanSP lldb_private::DynamicLoader::GetStepThroughTrampolinePlan	(	Thread &	thread,
		bool	stop_others
	)

pure virtual

Provides a plan to step through the dynamic loader trampoline for the current state of thread.

Parameters

[in] stop_others Whether the plan should be set to stop other threads.

Returns: A pointer to the plan (caller owned) or NULL if we are not at such a trampoline.

◆ GetStopWhenImagesChange()

bool DynamicLoader::GetStopWhenImagesChange ( ) const

Get whether the process should stop when images change.

When images (executables and shared libraries) get loaded or unloaded, often debug sessions will want to try and resolve or unresolve breakpoints that are set in these images. Any breakpoints set by DynamicLoader plug-in instances should return this value to ensure consistent debug session behaviour.

Returns: Returns true if the process should stop when images change, false if the process should resume.

◆ ProcessDidExec()

virtual bool lldb_private::DynamicLoader::ProcessDidExec ( )

inlinevirtual

Helper function that can be used to detect when a process has called exec and is now a new and different process.

This can be called when necessary to try and detect the exec. The process might be able to answer this question, but sometimes it might not be able and the dynamic loader often knows what the program entry point is. So the process and the dynamic loader can work together to detect this.

void DynamicLoader::SetStopWhenImagesChange ( bool stop )

Set whether the process should stop when images change.

When images (executables and shared libraries) get loaded or unloaded, often debug sessions will want to try and resolve or unresolve breakpoints that are set in these images. The default is set so that the process stops when images change, but this can be overridden using this function callback.

Parameters

[in] stop Boolean value that indicates whether the process should stop when images change.
