More use of IProcesses. In the weekly meeting, we had agreed that the RunControl service would make use of IProcesses to list executionContext. To do this, it is the IProcesses service that will now create the MIExecutionDMC, which is newly declared in MIProcesses. Doing this I was able to get rid of IMIRunControl, and I introduced IMIProcesses.
Also, we agreed that all RunControl use of IProcesses should be kept out of MIRunControl and put only in GDBRunControl. This is because other backends using MI will probably need a more sophisticated Process service. I still have to move the use of IProcesses out of MIRunControlNS
I also cleaned up the RunControl and GDBProcesses unit tests.
I also started spreading the use of a String as a ThreadId, while keeping things backwards compatible.
when using GDB6.6, if the solib-search-path is used, the launch will fail because the -gdb-set sysroot command will fail. The concept of sysroot seems to have been introduced with GDB 6.7
Let's comment it out since it was used only as a safeguard.
The public GDB now supports non-stop for linux.
This patch fixes the version number we were using and allows the user to click the non-stop checkbox in the launch.
When non-stop mode is requested by the user, the FinalLaunchSequence now issues:
maint set linux-async 1
set breakpoint always-inserted 1
-gdb-set non-stop on
Ultimately, with the official GDB release, only the last command should be needed.
This patch adds more usage of the IProcesses service. I believe the patch is
backwards compatible with our 1.0 release (not with the latest HEAD). The
patch does the following:
1- cleanup context hierarchy to become:
MIControlDMContext
|
MIProcessDMC (IProcess)
MIExecutionGroupDMC __/ |
(IContainer) |
| MIThreadDMC (IThread)
MIExecutionDMC _____/
(IExecution)
Notice how I put MIControlDMContext at the top.
The create*DMC methods have been updated accordingly.
The constructors of the MI*DMC classes have been updated accordingly.
2- Deprecated GDBRunControl.getThreadData() and GDBRunControl.getProcessData()
and have GdbThreadFilterEditor and ThreadVMNode use IProcesses instead.
3- because of (2) I was able to remove IGDBRunControl and GDBRunControlNS
completely.
4- Made MIProcesses.getExecutionData() fetch the thread data using
CLIInfoThreads as is done (but deprecated) in GDBRunControl.getThreadData()
5- Added a cache and event listeners to MIProcesses to cache CLIInfoThreads.
6- Update MIRunControlEventProcessor and CLIEventProcessor to use
MIControlDMContext as their top context instead of IContainerDMContext
removes the abstract from the methods, and adds ICommandControl, ISignals and ISymbols. It also uses alphabetical order to make it easier to know if something is forgotten.
This change adds support for multli-process debugging although we are still using the single-process GDB.
With this fix, our debug session will now be in a multi-process situation, with only one process being debugged. At this point, there should be no visible changes in the debugging experience.
If no frame context is provided in an expression, but an execution (thread) is present, then we define the expression to belong to the top-most frame of that thread.
Makes getAncestorOfType() return the closest ancestor in terms of
depth. Also adds a new method, getAllAncestorsOfType(), which returns all
the ancestors of the specified type in an array.
