swift-lldb release branches

It is run with the —test flag. But you can also run it by hand (that’s primarily what I do):

$cd <LLDB_SOURCE_DIR>/test
$ ./dotest.py

Or if you just want to run the swift part of the test suite, do:

$ ./dotest.py testcases/lang/swift

Is the lldb test suite run automatically by swift's build-script? I'm
running the following and not seeing any lldb tests run:

./swift/utils/build-script -d --lldb --test

I'd try to just run the test suite manually from the lldb build
directory, but I've never had any luck running the lldb test suite via
xcodebuild, even upstream.

Does the swift testsuite work with the lldb you've built? The lang/swift directory will build a lot of swift binaries and debug them.

If that's failing altogether, then we'll have to look at what's going wrong there, but we run the testsuite from the swift lldb on a couple of Ubuntu systems, and that works pretty consistently (when we don't break it with changes...)

If the test suite is passing, then look at how the test suite build it's binaries and see if you can copy that.

Currently, as a super basic test, I'm just using:

swift/utils/build-script --build-swift-stdlib-unittest-extra -T -d --lldb

With matching release branches (either 3.1 or 4.0) checked out in
llvm, swift, clang, and lldb. That should ensure that everybody is
matching in terms of ABI/version. I'm then running lldb with a test
binary compiled as part of that build script invocation (that compiles
stdlib and validation tests for swift).

I can't quite tell from the your description, but the first thing to note about using lldb for swift is that at present the debug information format for swift is the swift module file which is highly dependent on the layout of objects in the swift compiler. So you have to build your binaries using the toolchain you built as part of building lldb. If you are doing this all by hand to play around, you can just point at the compiler you've built (the lldb test suite does this automatically for all the tests it runs internally.)

Or you can build a swift toolchain and install and use that.

The crucial bit is that you have to use the exact same swift version for building and debugging.

Is swift-lldb only actively supported for debugging xcode projects?
Swift in general is cross platform (runs on windows, linux, android,
etc), and I don't generally target iOS or use Xcode. I'd very much
like to get non-iOS non-Xcode debugging up and running, and I'm
curious what the current status there is expected to be.

It adds a BUNCH of command line options to the compile that makes things work.. So I would suggest building a simple example with it and watching the compile options and the linker options and all of them are very important... I gave up on doing manual builds because of this and I let Xcode do it.

At the very least you can have your build system just call "xcodebuild -configuration Debug" or "xcodebuild -configuration Release".

Try using an Xcode project and see if debugging works.

Nope, was using Ninja. Is Xcode required?

Hi all!

I'm getting started doing some development on swift-lldb, and I'm
having trouble getting basic debugging functionality out of the lldb
binaries I build off of the swift release branches (swift-3.1-branch
and swift-4.0-branch). On both branches, when I run lldb against a
stdlib unit test binary (tried Stdin.swift and TestDate.swift), even
breakpoints don't work. With a swift binary built in debug mode, line
number breakpoints don't get set, and function name breakpoints get
set but not hit. In release mode, lldb hits an illegal instruction in
the test and the test crashes.

I'm building in a pretty vanilla way, just using build-script --lldb
on a mac, wondering if I'm missing some important setup (or whether I
should be on a different branch). I care about abi stability with a
swift compiler built on the release branches, so I don't think I can
run off of master or stable.

Francis
