Change `char` type in debuginfo to DW_ATE_UTF #89887

arlosi · 2021-10-14T17:40:42Z

Rust previously encoded the char type as DW_ATE_unsigned_char. The more appropriate encoding is DW_ATE_UTF.

Clang also uses the DW_ATE_UTF for char32_t in C++.

This fixes the display of the char type in the Windows debuggers. Without this change, the variable did not show in the locals window.

LLDB 13 is also able to display the char value, when before it failed with need to add support for DW_TAG_base_type 'char' encoded with DW_ATE = 0x8, bit_size = 32

Looks reasonable to me. The test failure with gdb seems concerning, though; does gdb (or the tested version of gdb) not understand this?

arlosi · 2021-10-15T14:16:53Z

It seems that with this change, GDB only prints the numerical value of the character :/.

When I do set language c++ in gdb, then it prints correctly. So there's something in GDB's rust language mode that's causing char to not be interpreted as a character anymore with this change.

We could make the change MSVC specific, using the msvc_like_names variable, but I think we need to understand the situation a bit better first.

joshtriplett · 2021-10-15T19:05:39Z

@arlosi Sounds like we should fix gdb's rust mode to handle this better, like the C++ mode does.

arlosi · 2021-10-15T19:19:06Z

@joshtriplett I agree, I think we should fix gdb and continue with this change. I'll update the tests.

TLDR: only GDB is regressed, and other debuggers are either the same or improved by this change.

LLDB 10 is broken both with and without the change.
LLDB 13 works correctly with the change, and does not work without it.
WinDbg, VS, CDB work correctly with the change and do not work without it.
GDB is regressed by this change such that only the numeric value is printed.

@joshtriplett do you know of someone who could look in to the GDB issue? I work on debuggers at work and can't look at GDB's source.

Even with the (hopefully temporary) GDB regression I feel like this is worth merging, since it fixes both recent LLDB and Windows debuggers (which were previously unusable) and GDB still prints the numeric representation.

joshtriplett · 2021-10-31T00:07:02Z

I'm not sure. cc @tromey perhaps?

tromey · 2021-10-31T17:18:18Z

I sent a gdb patch: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-October/182960.html

The Rust compiler plans to change the encoding of a Rust 'char' type to use DW_ATE_UTF. You can see the discussion here: rust-lang/rust#89887 However, this fails in gdb. I looked into this, and it turns out that the handling of DW_ATE_UTF is currently fairly specific to C++. In particular, the code here assumes the C++ type names, and it creates an integer type. This comes from commit 53e710a ("GDB thinks char16_t and char32_t are signed in C++"). The message says: Both places need fixing. But since I couldn't tell why dwarf2read.c needs to create a new type, I've made it use the per-arch built-in types instead, so that the types are only created once per arch instead of once per objfile. That seems to work fine. ... which is fine, but it seems to me that it's also correct to make a new character type; and this approach is better because it preserves the type name as well. This does use more memory, but first we shouldn't be too concerned about the memory use of types coming from debuginfo; and second, if we are, we should implement type interning anyway. Changing this code to use a character type revealed a couple of oddities in the C/C++ handling of TYPE_CODE_CHAR. This patch fixes these as well.

arlosi · 2021-11-03T15:46:09Z

@tromey thanks for getting this fixed in GDB!

@joshtriplett how long should we wait before merging this?

wesleywiser · 2021-11-10T16:42:15Z

Nominating for compiler team discussion. This PR changes debug info for char which fixes LLDB and WinDbg and causes variables of this type to be correctly displayed in the debugger. However, this PR also causes GDB to regress slightly in that it no longer will display the character value, just the numeric value. @tromey has fixed this in gdb but we're unsure how long we should wait before merging this PR.

Mark-Simulacrum · 2021-11-10T16:47:14Z

Has that patch been merged upstream? I think I would block on a merge at least, personally.

Can we have an interim situation where we change the type (as per this PR) only on Windows targets (which seem the primary audience for WinDbg, though not LLDB) and then enable it more broadly when the next GDB release occurs?

tromey · 2021-11-29T18:19:05Z

I'll be merging it soon. It will appear in gdb 11.2 as well. This should be coming reasonably soon; the last status report is here: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-November/183905.html

I think it's better to simply ship it. Distros that are concerned with this, and that don't want to wait for GDB 11.2, can just apply the upstream patch.

We discussed this in yesterday's compiler team meeting and the consensus was that we should wait for the gdb 11.2 release to occur before merging. It sounds like that should be relatively soon but we will re-evaluate if that proves incorrect.

I'm going to mark this PR as blocked for now.

mati865 · 2022-01-19T01:30:10Z

Gdb 11.2 has been released. Shouldn't this wait for it to popularise a bit though?

tromey · 2022-01-19T23:24:44Z

Gdb 11.2 has been released. Shouldn't this wait for it to popularise a bit though?

What's the lead time on a rustc patch making it into a release? It used to be multiple weeks, and if that's still true, then I personally think it's fine to land it now.

wesleywiser · 2022-01-20T00:15:34Z

If we merged right now, this would go into 1.60 which ships on April 7th.

mati865 · 2022-01-20T00:50:07Z

FWIW Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with this version should be available by the end of April.

mati865 · 2022-02-22T20:34:36Z

Beta promotion has happened already which means distribuitions with working GDB version should be already available when this hits stable. So should be good to go from POV.

wesleywiser · 2022-02-23T14:59:05Z

Thanks for the reminder @mati865! Since the compiler team has already decided the gdb 11.2 would be sufficient and we're now at the point where that release will be available in various distros by the time this reaches stable, I think we should merge.

Thanks to @arlosi for your patience and also to @tromey for contributing that gdb patch! It's very much appreciated.

Rust previously encoded the `char` type as DW_ATE_unsigned_char. The more appropriate encoding is DW_ATE_UTF. Clang uses this same debug encoding for char32_t. This fixes the display of `char` types in Windows debuggers as well as LLDB.

Compatibility Notes ------------------- - Previously native static libraries were linked as `whole-archive` in some cases, but now rustc tries not to use `whole-archive` unless explicitly requested. This [change][93901] may result in linking errors in some cases. To fix such errors, native libraries linked from the command line, build scripts, or [`#[link]` attributes][link-attr] need to - (more common) either be reordered to respect dependencies between them (if `a` depends on `b` then `a` should go first and `b` second) - (less common) or be updated to use the [`+whole-archive`] modifier. - [Catching a second unwind from FFI code while cleaning up from a Rust panic now causes the process to abort][92911] - [Proc macros no longer see `ident` matchers wrapped in groups][92472] - [The number of `#` in `r#` raw string literals is now required to be less than 256][95251] - [When checking that a dyn type satisfies a trait bound, supertrait bounds are now enforced][92285] - [`cargo vendor` now only accepts one value for each `--sync` flag] [cargo/10448] - [`cfg` predicates in `all()` and `any()` are always evaluated to detect errors, instead of short-circuiting.][94295] The compatibility considerations here arise in nightly-only code that used the short-circuiting behavior of `all` to write something like `cfg(all(feature = "nightly", syntax-requiring-nightly))`, which will now fail to compile.

Change char type in debuginfo to DW_ATE_UTF

be454f0

Rust previously encoded the `char` type as DW_ATE_unsigned_char. The more appropriate encoding is DW_ATE_UTF. Clang uses this same debug encoding for char32_t. This fixes the display of `char` types in Windows debuggers as well as LLDB.
