#!/usr/bin/python ''' From gdb 7 onwards, gdb's build can be configured --with-python, allowing gdb to be extended with Python code e.g. for library-specific data visualizations, such as for the C++ STL types. Documentation on this API can be seen at: http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Python-API.html This python module deals with the case when the process being debugged (the "inferior process" in gdb parlance) is itself python, or more specifically, linked against libpython. In this situation, almost every item of data is a (PyObject*), and having the debugger merely print their addresses is not very enlightening. This module embeds knowledge about the implementation details of libpython so that we can emit useful visualizations e.g. a string, a list, a dict, a frame giving file/line information and the state of local variables In particular, given a gdb.Value corresponding to a PyObject* in the inferior process, we can generate a "proxy value" within the gdb process. For example, given a PyObject* in the inferior process that is in fact a PyListObject* holding three PyObject* that turn out to be PyBytesObject* instances, we can generate a proxy value within the gdb process that is a list of bytes instances: [b"foo", b"bar", b"baz"] Doing so can be expensive for complicated graphs of objects, and could take some time, so we also have a "write_repr" method that writes a representation of the data to a file-like object. This allows us to stop the traversal by having the file-like object raise an exception if it gets too much data. With both "proxyval" and "write_repr" we keep track of the set of all addresses visited so far in the traversal, to avoid infinite recursion due to cycles in the graph of object references. We try to defer gdb.lookup_type() invocations for python types until as late as possible: for a dynamically linked python binary, when the process starts in the debugger, the libpython.so hasn't been dynamically loaded yet, so none of the type names are known to the debugger The module also extends gdb with some python-specific commands.
