SBFrame#

class lldb.SBFrame(*args)#

Represents one of the stack frames associated with a thread.

SBThread contains SBFrame(s). For example (from test/lldbutil.py),

def print_stacktrace(thread, string_buffer = False):
    '''Prints a simple stack trace of this thread.'''

    ...

    for i in range(depth):
        frame = thread.GetFrameAtIndex(i)
        function = frame.GetFunction()

        load_addr = addrs[i].GetLoadAddress(target)
        if not function:
            file_addr = addrs[i].GetFileAddress()
            start_addr = frame.GetSymbol().GetStartAddress().GetFileAddress()
            symbol_offset = file_addr - start_addr
            print >> output, '  frame #{num}: {addr:#016x} {mod}`{symbol} + {offset}'.format(
                num=i, addr=load_addr, mod=mods[i], symbol=symbols[i], offset=symbol_offset)
        else:
            print >> output, '  frame #{num}: {addr:#016x} {mod}`{func} at {file}:{line} {args}'.format(
                num=i, addr=load_addr, mod=mods[i],
                func='%s [inlined]' % funcs[i] if frame.IsInlined() else funcs[i],
                file=files[i], line=lines[i],
                args=get_args_as_string(frame, showFuncName=False) if not frame.IsInlined() else '()')

    ...

And,

for frame in thread:
    print frame

Methods Documentation

Clear(SBFrame self)#
Disassemble(SBFrame self) char const *#
EvaluateExpression(SBFrame self, char const * expr) SBValue#
EvaluateExpression(SBFrame self, char const * expr, lldb::DynamicValueType use_dynamic) SBValue
EvaluateExpression(SBFrame self, char const * expr, lldb::DynamicValueType use_dynamic, bool unwind_on_error) SBValue
EvaluateExpression(SBFrame self, char const * expr, SBExpressionOptions options) SBValue

The version that doesn’t supply a ‘use_dynamic’ value will use the target’s default.

FindRegister(SBFrame self, char const * name) SBValue#
FindValue(SBFrame self, char const * name, lldb::ValueType value_type) SBValue#
FindValue(SBFrame self, char const * name, lldb::ValueType value_type, lldb::DynamicValueType use_dynamic) SBValue

Find variables, register sets, registers, or persistent variables using the frame as the scope.

The version that doesn’t supply a use_dynamic value will use the target’s default.

FindVariable(SBFrame self, char const * var_name) SBValue#
FindVariable(SBFrame self, char const * var_name, lldb::DynamicValueType use_dynamic) SBValue

The version that doesn’t supply a ‘use_dynamic’ value will use the target’s default.

GetBlock(SBFrame self) SBBlock#

Gets the deepest block that contains the frame PC.

See also GetFrameBlock().

GetCFA(SBFrame self) lldb::addr_t#

Get the Canonical Frame Address for this stack frame. This is the DWARF standard’s definition of a CFA, a stack address that remains constant throughout the lifetime of the function. Returns an lldb::addr_t stack address, or LLDB_INVALID_ADDRESS if the CFA cannot be determined.

GetCompileUnit(SBFrame self) SBCompileUnit#
GetDescription(SBFrame self, SBStream description) bool#
GetDescriptionWithFormat(SBFrame self, SBFormat format, SBStream output) SBError#
GetDisplayFunctionName(SBFrame self) char const *#
GetFP(SBFrame self) lldb::addr_t#
GetFrameBlock(SBFrame self) SBBlock#

Gets the lexical block that defines the stack frame. Another way to think of this is it will return the block that contains all of the variables for a stack frame. Inlined functions are represented as SBBlock objects that have inlined function information: the name of the inlined function, where it was called from. The block that is returned will be the first block at or above the block for the PC (SBFrame::GetBlock()) that defines the scope of the frame. When a function contains no inlined functions, this will be the top most lexical block that defines the function. When a function has inlined functions and the PC is currently in one of those inlined functions, this method will return the inlined block that defines this frame. If the PC isn’t currently in an inlined function, the lexical block that defines the function is returned.

GetFrameID(SBFrame self) uint32_t#
GetFunction(SBFrame self) SBFunction#
GetFunctionName(SBFrame self) char const#
GetFunctionName(SBFrame self) char const *

Get the appropriate function name for this frame. Inlined functions in LLDB are represented by Blocks that have inlined function information, so just looking at the SBFunction or SBSymbol for a frame isn’t enough. This function will return the appropriate function, symbol or inlined function name for the frame.

This function returns: - the name of the inlined function (if there is one) - the name of the concrete function (if there is one) - the name of the symbol (if there is one) - NULL

See also IsInlined().

GetLineEntry(SBFrame self) SBLineEntry#
GetModule(SBFrame self) SBModule#
GetPC(SBFrame self) lldb::addr_t#
GetPCAddress(SBFrame self) SBAddress#
GetRegisters(SBFrame self) SBValueList#
GetSP(SBFrame self) lldb::addr_t#
GetSymbol(SBFrame self) SBSymbol#
GetSymbolContext(SBFrame self, uint32_t resolve_scope) SBSymbolContext#
GetThread(SBFrame self) SBThread#
GetValueForVariablePath(SBFrame self, char const * var_expr_cstr, lldb::DynamicValueType use_dynamic) SBValue#
GetValueForVariablePath(SBFrame self, char const * var_path) SBValue

Get a lldb.SBValue for a variable path.

Variable paths can include access to pointer or instance members:

rect_ptr->origin.y
pt.x

Pointer dereferences:

*this->foo_ptr
**argv

Address of:

&pt
&my_array[3].x

Array accesses and treating pointers as arrays:

int_array[1]
pt_ptr[22].x

Unlike EvaluateExpression() which returns SBValue objects with constant copies of the values at the time of evaluation, the result of this function is a value that will continue to track the current value of the value as execution progresses in the current frame.

GetVariables(SBFrame self, bool arguments, bool locals, bool statics, bool in_scope_only) SBValueList#
GetVariables(SBFrame self, bool arguments, bool locals, bool statics, bool in_scope_only, lldb::DynamicValueType use_dynamic) SBValueList
GetVariables(SBFrame self, SBVariablesOptions options) SBValueList

The version that doesn’t supply a ‘use_dynamic’ value will use the target’s default.

GuessLanguage(SBFrame self) lldb::LanguageType#

Returns the language of the frame’s SBFunction, or if there. is no SBFunction, guess the language from the mangled name. .

IsArtificial(SBFrame self) bool#
IsArtificial(SBFrame self) bool

Return true if this frame is artificial (e.g a frame synthesized to capture a tail call). Local variables may not be available in an artificial frame.

IsEqual(SBFrame self, SBFrame that) bool#
IsHidden(SBFrame self) bool#
IsInlined(SBFrame self) bool#
IsInlined(SBFrame self) bool

Return true if this frame represents an inlined function.
