<p>The idea of the LLVM debugging information is to capture how the important
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
pieces of the source-language's Abstract Syntax Tree map onto LLVM code.
|
|
|
|
Several design aspects have shaped the solution that appears here. The
|
|
|
|
important ones are:</p>
|
2004-01-05 05:06:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2004-05-12 19:21:57 +00:00
|
|
|
<ul>
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>Debugging information should have very little impact on the rest of the
|
|
|
|
compiler. No transformations, analyses, or code generators should need to
|
|
|
|
be modified because of debugging information.</li>
|
2004-01-05 05:06:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>LLVM optimizations should interact in <a href="#debugopt">well-defined and
|
|
|
|
easily described ways</a> with the debugging information.</li>
|
2004-01-05 05:06:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>Because LLVM is designed to support arbitrary programming languages,
|
|
|
|
LLVM-to-LLVM tools should not need to know anything about the semantics of
|
|
|
|
the source-level-language.</li>
|
2004-01-05 05:06:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>Source-level languages are often <b>widely</b> different from one another.
|
|
|
|
LLVM should not put any restrictions of the flavor of the source-language,
|
|
|
|
and the debugging information should work with any language.</li>
|
2004-01-05 05:06:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>With code generator support, it should be possible to use an LLVM compiler
|
|
|
|
to compile a program to native machine code and standard debugging
|
|
|
|
formats. This allows compatibility with traditional machine-code level
|
|
|
|
debuggers, like GDB or DBX.</li>

|
|
<p>The approach used by the LLVM implementation is to use a small set
|
|
|
|
of <a href="#format_common_intrinsics">intrinsic functions</a> to define a
|
|
|
|
mapping between LLVM program objects and the source-level objects. The
|
|
|
|
description of the source-level program is maintained in LLVM global
|
|
|
|
variables in an <a href="#ccxx_frontend">implementation-defined format</a>
|
|
|
|
(the C/C++ front-end currently uses working draft 7 of
|
|
|
|
the <a href="http://www.eagercon.com/dwarf/dwarf3std.htm">DWARF 3
|
|
|
|
standard</a>).</p>

|
|
|
<p>When a program is being debugged, a debugger interacts with the user and
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
turns the stored debug information into source-language specific information.
|
|
|
|
As such, a debugger must be aware of the source-language, and is thus tied to
|
|
|
|
a specific language or family of languages.</p>

<p>The role of debug information is to provide meta information normally

2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
stripped away during the compilation process. This meta information provides

an LLVM user a relationship between generated code and the original program

source code.</p>

<p>Currently, debug information is consumed by the DwarfWriter to produce dwarf
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
information used by the gdb debugger. Other targets could use the same

information to produce stabs or other debug forms.</p>
|
2006-03-23 17:54:33 +00:00
|
|

|
<p>It would also be reasonable to use debug information to feed profiling tools
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
for analysis of generated code, or, tools for reconstructing the original

<p>An extremely high priority of LLVM debugging information is to make it
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
interact well with optimizations and analysis. In particular, the LLVM debug
|
|
|
|
information provides the following guarantees:</p>
|
2004-05-12 19:21:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>LLVM debug information <b>always provides information to accurately read
|
|
|
|
the source-level state of the program</b>, regardless of which LLVM
|
|
|
|
optimizations have been run, and without any modification to the
|
|
|
|
optimizations themselves. However, some optimizations may impact the
|
|
|
|
ability to modify the current state of the program with a debugger, such
|
|
|
|
as setting program variables, or calling functions that have been
|
|
|
|
deleted.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>LLVM optimizations gracefully interact with debugging information. If
|
|
|
|
they are not aware of debug information, they are automatically disabled
|
|
|
|
as necessary in the cases that would invalidate the debug info. This
|
|
|
|
retains the LLVM features, making it easy to write new
|
|
|
|
transformations.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>As desired, LLVM optimizations can be upgraded to be aware of the LLVM
|
|
|
|
debugging information, allowing them to update the debugging information
|
|
|
|
as they perform aggressive optimizations. This means that, with effort,
|
|
|
|
the LLVM optimizers could optimize debug code just as well as non-debug
|
|
|
|
code.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>LLVM debug information does not prevent many important optimizations from
|
|
|
|
happening (for example inlining, basic block reordering/merging/cleanup,
|
|
|
|
tail duplication, etc), further reducing the amount of the compiler that
|
|
|
|
eventually is "aware" of debugging information.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>LLVM debug information is automatically optimized along with the rest of
|
|
|
|
the program, using existing facilities. For example, duplicate
|
|
|
|
information is automatically merged by the linker, and unused information
|
|
|
|
is automatically removed.</li>
|

|
|
|
|
2004-05-12 19:21:57 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>Basically, the debug information allows you to compile a program with
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
"<tt>-O0 -g</tt>" and get full debug information, allowing you to arbitrarily
|
|
|
|
modify the program as it executes from a debugger. Compiling a program with
|
|
|
|
"<tt>-O3 -g</tt>" gives you full debug information that is always available
|
|
|
|
and accurate for reading (e.g., you get accurate stack traces despite tail
|
|
|
|
call elimination and inlining), but you might lose the ability to modify the
|
|
|
|
program and call functions where were optimized out of the program, or
|
|
|
|
inlined away completely.</p>

<p><a href="TestingGuide.html#quicktestsuite">LLVM test suite</a> provides a
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
framework to test optimizer's handling of debugging information. It can be
|
|
|
|
run like this:</p>

<p>LLVM debugging information has been carefully designed to make it possible
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
for the optimizer to optimize the program and debugging information without
|
|
|
|
necessarily having to know anything about debugging information. In
|
|
|
|
particular, the global constant merging pass automatically eliminates
|
|
|
|
duplicated debugging information (often caused by header files), the global
|
|
|
|
dead code elimination pass automatically deletes debugging information for a
|
|
|
|
function if it decides to delete the function, and the linker eliminates
|
|
|
|
debug information when it merges <tt>linkonce</tt> functions.</p>
|
2004-01-05 05:06:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2006-03-14 18:08:46 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>To do this, most of the debugging information (descriptors for types,
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
variables, functions, source files, etc) is inserted by the language
|
|
|
|
front-end in the form of LLVM global variables. These LLVM global variables
|
|
|
|
are no different from any other global variables, except that they have a web
|
|
|
|
of LLVM intrinsic functions that point to them. If the last references to a
|
|
|
|
particular piece of debugging information are deleted (for example, by the
|
|
|
|
<tt>-globaldce</tt> pass), the extraneous debug information will
|
|
|
|
automatically become dead and be removed by the optimizer.</p>
|
2006-03-14 18:08:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Debug information is designed to be agnostic about the target debugger and
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
debugging information representation (e.g. DWARF/Stabs/etc). It uses a
|
|
|
|
generic machine debug information pass to decode the information that
|
|
|
|
represents variables, types, functions, namespaces, etc: this allows for
|
|
|
|
arbitrary source-language semantics and type-systems to be used, as long as
|
|
|
|
there is a module written for the target debugger to interpret the
|
|
|
|
information. In addition, debug global variables are declared in
|
|
|
|
the <tt>"llvm.metadata"</tt> section. All values declared in this section
|
|
|
|
are stripped away after target debug information is constructed and before
|
|
|
|
the program object is emitted.</p>

|
|
|
|
2006-03-14 18:08:46 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>To provide basic functionality, the LLVM debugger does have to make some
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
assumptions about the source-level language being debugged, though it keeps
|
|
|
|
these to a minimum. The only common features that the LLVM debugger assumes
|
|
|
|
exist are <a href="#format_compile_units">source files</a>,
|
|
|
|
and <a href="#format_global_variables">program objects</a>. These abstract
|
|
|
|
objects are used by a debugger to form stack traces, show information about
|
|
|
|
local variables, etc.</p>

|
|
<p>This section of the documentation first describes the representation aspects
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
common to any source-language. The <a href="#ccxx_frontend">next section</a>
|
|
|
|
describes the data layout conventions used by the C and C++ front-ends.</p>

|
|
|
<p>In consideration of the complexity and volume of debug information, LLVM
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
provides a specification for well formed debug global variables. The
|
|
|
|
constant value of each of these globals is one of a limited set of
|
|
|
|
structures, known as debug descriptors.</p>
|
2006-03-14 18:08:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Consumers of LLVM debug information expect the descriptors for program
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
objects to start in a canonical format, but the descriptors can include
|
|
|
|
additional information appended at the end that is source-language
|
|
|
|
specific. All LLVM debugging information is versioned, allowing backwards
|
|
|
|
compatibility in the case that the core structures need to change in some
|
|
|
|
way. Also, all debugging information objects start with a tag to indicate
|
|
|
|
what type of object it is. The source-language is allowed to define its own
|
|
|
|
objects, by using unreserved tag numbers. We recommend using with tags in
|
|
|
|
the range 0x1000 thru 0x2000 (there is a defined enum DW_TAG_user_base =
|
|
|
|
0x1000.)</p>

<p>The fields of debug descriptors used internally by LLVM (MachineModuleInfo)
|

|
|
|
are restricted to only the simple data types <tt>int</tt>, <tt>uint</tt>,

|
|
<tt>bool</tt>, <tt>float</tt>, <tt>double</tt>, <tt>i8*</tt> and
|

<tt>{ }*</tt>. References to arbitrary values are handled using a

references to other field descriptors, arrays of descriptors or global

<p>Each input file is encoded as a separate compile unit in LLVM debugging

information output. However, many target specific tool chains prefer to

encode only one compile unit in an object file. In this situation, the LLVM

code generator will include debugging information entities in the compile
|
|
|
|
unit that is marked as main compile unit. The code generator accepts maximum
|
|
|
|
one main compile unit per module. If a module does not contain any main
|
|
|
|
compile unit then the code generator will emit multiple compile units in the
|
|
|

<p>These descriptors define primitive types used in the code. Example int, bool
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
and float. The context provides the scope of the type, which is usually the
|
|
|
|
top level. Since basic types are not usually user defined the compile unit
|
|
|
|
and line number can be left as NULL and 0. The size, alignment and offset
|
|
|
|
are expressed in bits and can be 64 bit values. The alignment is used to
|
|
|
|
round the offset when embedded in a
|
|
|
|
<a href="#format_composite_type">composite type</a> (example to keep float
|
|

<p>LLVM debugger "stop points" are a key part of the debugging representation

that allows the LLVM to maintain simple semantics

for <a href="#debugopt">debugging optimized code</a>. The basic idea is that
|
|
|
|
the front-end inserts calls to
|
|
|
|
the <a href="#format_common_stoppoint">%<tt>llvm.dbg.stoppoint</tt></a>
|
|
|
|
intrinsic function at every point in the program where a debugger should be
|
|
|
|
able to inspect the program (these correspond to places a debugger stops when
|
|
|
|
you "<tt>step</tt>" through it). The front-end can choose to place these as
|
|
|
|
fine-grained as it would like (for example, before every subexpression
|
|
|
|
evaluated), but it is recommended to only put them after every source
|
|
|
|
statement that includes executable code.</p>

|
debugger to inspect the program automatically disables any optimizations that
|
|
|
|
could potentially confuse debugging information. To
|
|
|
|
non-debug-information-aware transformations, these calls simply look like
|
|
|
|
calls to an external function, which they must assume to do anything
|
|
|
|
(including reading or writing to any part of reachable memory). On the other
|
|
|
|
hand, it does not impact many optimizations, such as code motion of
|
|
|
|
non-trapping instructions, nor does it impact optimization of subexpressions,
|
|

code duplication transformations, or basic-block reordering

transformations.</p>

<p>In many languages, the local variables in functions can have their lifetime
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
or scope limited to a subset of a function. In the C family of languages,
|

|
|
for example, variables are only live (readable and writable) within the
|
|
|
|
source block that they are defined in. In functional languages, values are
|
|
|
|
only readable after they have been defined. Though this is a very obvious
|
|
|
|
concept, it is also non-trivial to model in LLVM, because it has no notion of
|
|
|
|
scoping in this sense, and does not want to be tied to a language's scoping

rules.</p>

<p>This example illustrates a few important details about the LLVM debugging
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
information. In particular, it shows how the various intrinsics are applied
|
|
|
|
together to allow a debugger to analyze the relationship between statements,
|
|
|
|
variable definitions, and the code used to implement the function.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The first
|
|
|
|
intrinsic <tt>%<a href="#format_common_func_start">llvm.dbg.func.start</a></tt>
|
|
|
|
provides a link with the <a href="#format_subprograms">subprogram
|
|
|
|
descriptor</a> containing the details of this function. This call also
|
|
|
|
defines the beginning of the function region, bounded by
|
|
|
|
the <tt>%<a href="#format_common_region_end">llvm.region.end</a></tt> at the
|
|
|
|
end of the function. This region is used to bracket the lifetime of
|
|
|
|
variables declared within. For a function, this outer region defines a new
|
|
|
|
stack frame whose lifetime ends when the region is ended.</p>
|
2006-03-14 18:08:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>It is possible to define inner regions for short term variables by using the
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
%<a href="#format_common_stoppoint"><tt>llvm.region.start</tt></a>
|
|
|
|
and <a href="#format_common_region_end"><tt>%llvm.region.end</tt></a> to
|
|
|
|
bound a region. The inner region in this example would be for the block
|
|
|
|
containing the declaration of Z.</p>
|
2004-01-05 05:06:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2004-05-12 19:21:57 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>Using regions to represent the boundaries of source-level functions allow
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
LLVM interprocedural optimizations to arbitrarily modify LLVM functions
|
|
|
|
without having to worry about breaking mapping information between the LLVM
|
|
|
|
code and the and source-level program. In particular, the inliner requires
|
|
|
|
no modification to support inlining with debugging information: there is no
|
|
|
|
explicit correlation drawn between LLVM functions and their source-level
|
|
|
|
counterparts (note however, that if the inliner inlines all instances of a
|
|
|
|
non-strong-linkage function into its caller that it will not be possible for
|
|
|
|
the user to manually invoke the inlined function from a debugger).</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Once the function has been defined,
|
|
|
|
the <a href="#format_common_stoppoint"><tt>stopping point</tt></a>
|
|
|
|
corresponding to line #2 (column #2) of the function is encountered. At this
|
|
|
|
point in the function, <b>no</b> local variables are live. As lines 2 and 3
|
|
|
|
of the example are executed, their variable definitions are introduced into
|
|
|
|
the program using
|
|
|
|
%<a href="#format_common_declare"><tt>llvm.dbg.declare</tt></a>, without the
|
|
|
|
need to specify a new region. These variables do not require new regions to
|
|
|
|
be introduced because they go out of scope at the same point in the program:
|
|
|
|
line 9.</p>
|
2004-01-05 05:06:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2004-05-12 19:21:57 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>In contrast, the <tt>Z</tt> variable goes out of scope at a different time,
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
on line 7. For this reason, it is defined within the inner region, which
|
|
|
|
kills the availability of <tt>Z</tt> before the code for line 8 is executed.
|
|
|
|
In this way, regions can support arbitrary source-language scoping rules, as
|
|
|
|
long as they can only be nested (ie, one scope cannot partially overlap with
|
|
|
|
a part of another scope).</p>
|
2004-01-05 05:06:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2004-05-12 19:21:57 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>It is worth noting that this scoping mechanism is used to control scoping of
|
2009-05-17 05:52:39 +00:00
|
|
|
all declarations, not just variable declarations. For example, the scope of
|
|
|
|
a C++ using declaration is controlled with this and could change how name
|
|
|
|
lookup is performed.</p>
