:mod:`bdb` --- Debugger framework
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: bdb
|
|
:synopsis: Debugger framework.
|
|
|
|
**Source code:** :source:`Lib/bdb.py`
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The :mod:`bdb` module handles basic debugger functions, like setting breakpoints
|
|
or managing execution via the debugger.
|
|
|
|
The following exception is defined:
|
|
|
|
.. exception:: BdbQuit
|
|
|
|
Exception raised by the :class:`Bdb` class for quitting the debugger.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The :mod:`bdb` module also defines two classes:
|
|
|
|
.. class:: Breakpoint(self, file, line, temporary=False, cond=None, funcname=None)
|
|
|
|
This class implements temporary breakpoints, ignore counts, disabling and
|
|
(re-)enabling, and conditionals.
|
|
|
|
Breakpoints are indexed by number through a list called :attr:`bpbynumber`
|
|
and by ``(file, line)`` pairs through :attr:`bplist`. The former points to
|
|
a single instance of class :class:`Breakpoint`. The latter points to a list
|
|
of such instances since there may be more than one breakpoint per line.
|
|
|
|
When creating a breakpoint, its associated :attr:`file name <file>` should
|
|
be in canonical form. If a :attr:`funcname` is defined, a breakpoint
|
|
:attr:`hit <hits>` will be counted when the first line of that function is
|
|
executed. A :attr:`conditional <cond>` breakpoint always counts a
|
|
:attr:`hit <hits>`.
|
|
|
|
:class:`Breakpoint` instances have the following methods:
|
|
|
|
.. method:: deleteMe()
|
|
|
|
Delete the breakpoint from the list associated to a file/line. If it is
|
|
the last breakpoint in that position, it also deletes the entry for the
|
|
file/line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: enable()
|
|
|
|
Mark the breakpoint as enabled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: disable()
|
|
|
|
Mark the breakpoint as disabled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: bpformat()
|
|
|
|
Return a string with all the information about the breakpoint, nicely
|
|
formatted:
|
|
|
|
* Breakpoint number.
|
|
* Temporary status (del or keep).
|
|
* File/line position.
|
|
* Break condition.
|
|
* Number of times to ignore.
|
|
* Number of times hit.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.2
|
|
|
|
.. method:: bpprint(out=None)
|
|
|
|
Print the output of :meth:`bpformat` to the file *out*, or if it is
|
|
``None``, to standard output.
|
|
|
|
:class:`Breakpoint` instances have the following attributes:
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: file
|
|
|
|
File name of the :class:`Breakpoint`.
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: line
|
|
|
|
Line number of the :class:`Breakpoint` within :attr:`file`.
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: temporary
|
|
|
|
True if a :class:`Breakpoint` at (file, line) is temporary.
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: cond
|
|
|
|
Condition for evaluating a :class:`Breakpoint` at (file, line).
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: funcname
|
|
|
|
Function name that defines whether a :class:`Breakpoint` is hit upon
|
|
entering the function.
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: enabled
|
|
|
|
True if :class:`Breakpoint` is enabled.
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: bpbynumber
|
|
|
|
Numeric index for a single instance of a :class:`Breakpoint`.
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: bplist
|
|
|
|
Dictionary of :class:`Breakpoint` instances indexed by
|
|
(:attr:`file`, :attr:`line`) tuples.
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: ignore
|
|
|
|
Number of times to ignore a :class:`Breakpoint`.
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: hits
|
|
|
|
Count of the number of times a :class:`Breakpoint` has been hit.
|
|
|
|
.. class:: Bdb(skip=None)
|
|
|
|
The :class:`Bdb` class acts as a generic Python debugger base class.
|
|
|
|
This class takes care of the details of the trace facility; a derived class
|
|
should implement user interaction. The standard debugger class
|
|
(:class:`pdb.Pdb`) is an example.
|
|
|
|
The *skip* argument, if given, must be an iterable of glob-style
|
|
module name patterns. The debugger will not step into frames that
|
|
originate in a module that matches one of these patterns. Whether a
|
|
frame is considered to originate in a certain module is determined
|
|
by the ``__name__`` in the frame globals.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 3.1
|
|
Added the *skip* parameter.
|
|
|
|
The following methods of :class:`Bdb` normally don't need to be overridden.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: canonic(filename)
|
|
|
|
Return canonical form of *filename*.
|
|
|
|
For real file names, the canonical form is an operating-system-dependent,
|
|
:func:`case-normalized <os.path.normcase>` :func:`absolute path
|
|
<os.path.abspath>`. A *filename* with angle brackets, such as ``"<stdin>"``
|
|
generated in interactive mode, is returned unchanged.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: reset()
|
|
|
|
Set the :attr:`!botframe`, :attr:`!stopframe`, :attr:`!returnframe` and
|
|
:attr:`quitting <Bdb.set_quit>` attributes with values ready to start debugging.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: trace_dispatch(frame, event, arg)
|
|
|
|
This function is installed as the trace function of debugged frames. Its
|
|
return value is the new trace function (in most cases, that is, itself).
|
|
|
|
The default implementation decides how to dispatch a frame, depending on
|
|
the type of event (passed as a string) that is about to be executed.
|
|
*event* can be one of the following:
|
|
|
|
* ``"line"``: A new line of code is going to be executed.
|
|
* ``"call"``: A function is about to be called, or another code block
|
|
entered.
|
|
* ``"return"``: A function or other code block is about to return.
|
|
* ``"exception"``: An exception has occurred.
|
|
* ``"c_call"``: A C function is about to be called.
|
|
* ``"c_return"``: A C function has returned.
|
|
* ``"c_exception"``: A C function has raised an exception.
|
|
|
|
For the Python events, specialized functions (see below) are called. For
|
|
the C events, no action is taken.
|
|
|
|
The *arg* parameter depends on the previous event.
|
|
|
|
See the documentation for :func:`sys.settrace` for more information on the
|
|
trace function. For more information on code and frame objects, refer to
|
|
:ref:`types`.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: dispatch_line(frame)
|
|
|
|
If the debugger should stop on the current line, invoke the
|
|
:meth:`user_line` method (which should be overridden in subclasses).
|
|
Raise a :exc:`BdbQuit` exception if the :attr:`quitting <Bdb.set_quit>` flag is set
|
|
(which can be set from :meth:`user_line`). Return a reference to the
|
|
:meth:`trace_dispatch` method for further tracing in that scope.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: dispatch_call(frame, arg)
|
|
|
|
If the debugger should stop on this function call, invoke the
|
|
:meth:`user_call` method (which should be overridden in subclasses).
|
|
Raise a :exc:`BdbQuit` exception if the :attr:`quitting <Bdb.set_quit>` flag is set
|
|
(which can be set from :meth:`user_call`). Return a reference to the
|
|
:meth:`trace_dispatch` method for further tracing in that scope.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: dispatch_return(frame, arg)
|
|
|
|
If the debugger should stop on this function return, invoke the
|
|
:meth:`user_return` method (which should be overridden in subclasses).
|
|
Raise a :exc:`BdbQuit` exception if the :attr:`quitting <Bdb.set_quit>` flag is set
|
|
(which can be set from :meth:`user_return`). Return a reference to the
|
|
:meth:`trace_dispatch` method for further tracing in that scope.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: dispatch_exception(frame, arg)
|
|
|
|
If the debugger should stop at this exception, invokes the
|
|
:meth:`user_exception` method (which should be overridden in subclasses).
|
|
Raise a :exc:`BdbQuit` exception if the :attr:`quitting <Bdb.set_quit>` flag is set
|
|
(which can be set from :meth:`user_exception`). Return a reference to the
|
|
:meth:`trace_dispatch` method for further tracing in that scope.
|
|
|
|
Normally derived classes don't override the following methods, but they may
|
|
if they want to redefine the definition of stopping and breakpoints.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: is_skipped_line(module_name)
|
|
|
|
Return True if *module_name* matches any skip pattern.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: stop_here(frame)
|
|
|
|
Return True if *frame* is below the starting frame in the stack.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: break_here(frame)
|
|
|
|
Return True if there is an effective breakpoint for this line.
|
|
|
|
Check whether a line or function breakpoint exists and is in effect. Delete temporary
|
|
breakpoints based on information from :func:`effective`.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: break_anywhere(frame)
|
|
|
|
Return True if any breakpoint exists for *frame*'s filename.
|
|
|
|
Derived classes should override these methods to gain control over debugger
|
|
operation.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: user_call(frame, argument_list)
|
|
|
|
Called from :meth:`dispatch_call` if a break might stop inside the
|
|
called function.
|
|
|
|
*argument_list* is not used anymore and will always be ``None``.
|
|
The argument is kept for backwards compatibility.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: user_line(frame)
|
|
|
|
Called from :meth:`dispatch_line` when either :meth:`stop_here` or
|
|
:meth:`break_here` returns ``True``.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: user_return(frame, return_value)
|
|
|
|
Called from :meth:`dispatch_return` when :meth:`stop_here` returns ``True``.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: user_exception(frame, exc_info)
|
|
|
|
Called from :meth:`dispatch_exception` when :meth:`stop_here`
|
|
returns ``True``.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: do_clear(arg)
|
|
|
|
Handle how a breakpoint must be removed when it is a temporary one.
|
|
|
|
This method must be implemented by derived classes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Derived classes and clients can call the following methods to affect the
|
|
stepping state.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: set_step()
|
|
|
|
Stop after one line of code.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: set_next(frame)
|
|
|
|
Stop on the next line in or below the given frame.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: set_return(frame)
|
|
|
|
Stop when returning from the given frame.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: set_until(frame, lineno=None)
|
|
|
|
Stop when the line with the *lineno* greater than the current one is
|
|
reached or when returning from current frame.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: set_trace([frame])
|
|
|
|
Start debugging from *frame*. If *frame* is not specified, debugging
|
|
starts from caller's frame.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: set_continue()
|
|
|
|
Stop only at breakpoints or when finished. If there are no breakpoints,
|
|
set the system trace function to ``None``.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: set_quit()
|
|
|
|
.. index:: single: quitting (bdb.Bdb attribute)
|
|
|
|
Set the :attr:`!quitting` attribute to ``True``. This raises :exc:`BdbQuit` in
|
|
the next call to one of the :meth:`!dispatch_\*` methods.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Derived classes and clients can call the following methods to manipulate
|
|
breakpoints. These methods return a string containing an error message if
|
|
something went wrong, or ``None`` if all is well.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: set_break(filename, lineno, temporary=False, cond=None, funcname=None)
|
|
|
|
Set a new breakpoint. If the *lineno* line doesn't exist for the
|
|
*filename* passed as argument, return an error message. The *filename*
|
|
should be in canonical form, as described in the :meth:`canonic` method.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: clear_break(filename, lineno)
|
|
|
|
Delete the breakpoints in *filename* and *lineno*. If none were set,
|
|
return an error message.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: clear_bpbynumber(arg)
|
|
|
|
Delete the breakpoint which has the index *arg* in the
|
|
:attr:`Breakpoint.bpbynumber`. If *arg* is not numeric or out of range,
|
|
return an error message.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: clear_all_file_breaks(filename)
|
|
|
|
Delete all breakpoints in *filename*. If none were set, return an error
|
|
message.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: clear_all_breaks()
|
|
|
|
Delete all existing breakpoints. If none were set, return an error
|
|
message.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: get_bpbynumber(arg)
|
|
|
|
Return a breakpoint specified by the given number. If *arg* is a string,
|
|
it will be converted to a number. If *arg* is a non-numeric string, if
|
|
the given breakpoint never existed or has been deleted, a
|
|
:exc:`ValueError` is raised.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.2
|
|
|
|
.. method:: get_break(filename, lineno)
|
|
|
|
Return True if there is a breakpoint for *lineno* in *filename*.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: get_breaks(filename, lineno)
|
|
|
|
Return all breakpoints for *lineno* in *filename*, or an empty list if
|
|
none are set.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: get_file_breaks(filename)
|
|
|
|
Return all breakpoints in *filename*, or an empty list if none are set.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: get_all_breaks()
|
|
|
|
Return all breakpoints that are set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Derived classes and clients can call the following methods to get a data
|
|
structure representing a stack trace.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: get_stack(f, t)
|
|
|
|
Return a list of (frame, lineno) tuples in a stack trace, and a size.
|
|
|
|
The most recently called frame is last in the list. The size is the number
|
|
of frames below the frame where the debugger was invoked.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: format_stack_entry(frame_lineno, lprefix=': ')
|
|
|
|
Return a string with information about a stack entry, which is a
|
|
``(frame, lineno)`` tuple. The return string contains:
|
|
|
|
* The canonical filename which contains the frame.
|
|
* The function name or ``"<lambda>"``.
|
|
* The input arguments.
|
|
* The return value.
|
|
* The line of code (if it exists).
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following two methods can be called by clients to use a debugger to debug
|
|
a :term:`statement`, given as a string.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: run(cmd, globals=None, locals=None)
|
|
|
|
Debug a statement executed via the :func:`exec` function. *globals*
|
|
defaults to :attr:`!__main__.__dict__`, *locals* defaults to *globals*.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: runeval(expr, globals=None, locals=None)
|
|
|
|
Debug an expression executed via the :func:`eval` function. *globals* and
|
|
*locals* have the same meaning as in :meth:`run`.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: runctx(cmd, globals, locals)
|
|
|
|
For backwards compatibility. Calls the :meth:`run` method.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: runcall(func, /, *args, **kwds)
|
|
|
|
Debug a single function call, and return its result.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, the module defines the following functions:
|
|
|
|
.. function:: checkfuncname(b, frame)
|
|
|
|
Return True if we should break here, depending on the way the
|
|
:class:`Breakpoint` *b* was set.
|
|
|
|
If it was set via line number, it checks if
|
|
:attr:`b.line <bdb.Breakpoint.line>` is the same as the one in *frame*.
|
|
If the breakpoint was set via
|
|
:attr:`function name <bdb.Breakpoint.funcname>`, we have to check we are in
|
|
the right *frame* (the right function) and if we are on its first executable
|
|
line.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: effective(file, line, frame)
|
|
|
|
Return ``(active breakpoint, delete temporary flag)`` or ``(None, None)`` as the
|
|
breakpoint to act upon.
|
|
|
|
The *active breakpoint* is the first entry in
|
|
:attr:`bplist <bdb.Breakpoint.bplist>` for the
|
|
(:attr:`file <bdb.Breakpoint.file>`, :attr:`line <bdb.Breakpoint.line>`)
|
|
(which must exist) that is :attr:`enabled <bdb.Breakpoint.enabled>`, for
|
|
which :func:`checkfuncname` is True, and that has neither a False
|
|
:attr:`condition <bdb.Breakpoint.cond>` nor positive
|
|
:attr:`ignore <bdb.Breakpoint.ignore>` count. The *flag*, meaning that a
|
|
temporary breakpoint should be deleted, is False only when the
|
|
:attr:`cond <bdb.Breakpoint.cond>` cannot be evaluated (in which case,
|
|
:attr:`ignore <bdb.Breakpoint.ignore>` count is ignored).
|
|
|
|
If no such entry exists, then (None, None) is returned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: set_trace()
|
|
|
|
Start debugging with a :class:`Bdb` instance from caller's frame.
|
