Previously, when trying to parse the location info of a member
variable, we asserted that the location info of its parent is of type
'Address'.
However, there are cases where we cannot compute the location info of
the parent (for example - because we do not yet support the type of
debug info generated for it).
In those cases, it is better to just leave the location info of the
member variable empty instead of crashing.
DebugSession now makes the loader stop after loading the libraries,
and parses the loaded libraries of the program before continuing its
execution.
DebugSession now also supports inserting a breakpoint at a given symbol
or source position.
Additionally, DebugInfo now takes the base address of its object into
consideration.
This commit gets rid of ELF::Loader entirely since its very ambiguous
purpose was actually to load executables for the kernel, and that is
now handled by the kernel itself.
This patch includes some drive-by cleanup in LibDebug and CrashDaemon
enabled by the fact that we no longer need to keep the ref-counted
ELF::Loader around.
I originally defined the bytes() method for the String class, because it
made it obvious that it's a span of bytes instead of span of characters.
This commit makes this more consistent by defining a bytes() method when
the type of the span is known to be u8.
Additionaly, the cast operator to Bytes is overloaded for ByteBuffer and
such.
We can now step into library code in the debugger.
Since we now need the whole source code of our libraries
(and not just the headers), we clone the whole serenity git repo into
/usr/share/serenity.
Additionally, we will parse and expose the types of variables
if they are complex, like Enums or Structs. Variables of an enum
type are special in that they do not store all the members of said
enum in their own VariableInfo like Structs do, rather, all of the
values are stored in the VariableInfo for the Enum.
DWARF line number information, if generated, is stored in the
.debug_line section of an object file.
The information is encoded as instructions for a VM that is defined in
the DWARF specification.
By executing these instructions, we can extract the encoded line number
information.
