feature, either build the JIT in debug mode to enable it by default or pass
-jit-emit-debug to lli.
Right now, the only debug information that this communicates to GDB is call
frame information, since it's already being generated to support exceptions in
the JIT. Eventually, when DWARF generation isn't tied so tightly to AsmPrinter,
it will be easy to push that information to GDB through this interface.
Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how the feature works:
- The JIT generates the machine code and DWARF call frame info
(.eh_frame/.debug_frame) for a function into memory.
- The JIT copies that info into an in-memory ELF file with a symbol for the
function.
- The JIT creates a code entry pointing to the ELF buffer and adds it to a
linked list hanging off of a global descriptor at a special symbol that GDB
knows about.
- The JIT calls a function marked noinline that GDB knows about and has put an
internal breakpoint in.
- GDB catches the breakpoint and reads the global descriptor to look for new
code.
- When sees there is new code, it reads the ELF from the inferior's memory and
adds it to itself as an object file.
- The JIT continues, and the next time we stop the program, we are able to
produce a proper backtrace.
Consider running the following program through the JIT:
#include <stdio.h>
void baz(short z) {
long w = z + 1;
printf("%d, %x\n", w, *((int*)NULL)); // SEGFAULT here
}
void bar(short y) {
int z = y + 1;
baz(z);
}
void foo(char x) {
short y = x + 1;
bar(y);
}
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
char x = 1;
foo(x);
}
Here is a backtrace before this patch:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

This adds location info for all llvm_unreachable calls (which is a macro now) in
!NDEBUG builds.
In NDEBUG builds location info and the message is off (it only prints
"UREACHABLE executed").

Make llvm_unreachable take an optional string, thus moving the cerr<< out of
line.
LLVM_UNREACHABLE is now a simple wrapper that makes the message go away for
NDEBUG builds.

and extern_weak_odr. These are the same as the non-odr versions,
except that they indicate that the global will only be overridden
by an *equivalent* global. In C, a function with weak linkage can
be overridden by a function which behaves completely differently.
This means that IP passes have to skip weak functions, since any
deductions made from the function definition might be wrong, since
the definition could be replaced by something completely different
at link time. This is not allowed in C++, thanks to the ODR
(One-Definition-Rule): if a function is replaced by another at
link-time, then the new function must be the same as the original
function. If a language knows that a function or other global can
only be overridden by an equivalent global, it can give it the
weak_odr linkage type, and the optimizers will understand that it
is alright to make deductions based on the function body. The
code generators on the other hand map weak and weak_odr linkage
to the same thing.

1. When the JIT is asked to remove a function, updating it's
mapping to 0, we invalidate any function stubs used only
by that function. Now, also invalidate the JIT's mapping
from the GV the stub pointed to, to the address of the GV.
2. When dlsym stubs for cross-process JIT are enabled, do not
abort just because a named function cannot be found in the
JIT's process.
3. Fix various assumptions about when it is ok to use the lazy
resolver when non-lazy JITing is enabled.

Do not abort on failure to resolve an external symbol when using dlsym stubs,
since the symbol may not be in the JIT's address space. Just use 0.
Allow dlsym stubs to differentiate between GlobalVars and Functions.

that has not been JIT'd yet, the callee is put on a list of pending functions
to JIT. The call is directed through a stub, which is updated with the address
of the function after it has been JIT'd. A new interface for allocating and
updating empty stubs is provided.
Add support for removing the ModuleProvider the JIT was created with, which
would otherwise invalidate the JIT's PassManager, which is initialized with the
ModuleProvider's Module.
Add support under a new ExecutionEngine flag for emitting the infomration
necessary to update Function and GlobalVariable stubs after JITing them, by
recording the address of the stub and the name of the GlobalValue. This allows
code to be copied from one address space to another, where libraries may live
at different virtual addresses, and have the stubs updated with their new
correct target addresses.
