[lldb] Encode `bool` as unsigned int
ClosedPublic

Authored by werat on May 18 2021, 5:44 AM.

Details

Summary

bool is considered to be unsigned according to std::is_unsigned<bool>::value (and Type::GetTypeInfo). Encoding it as signed int works fine for normal variables and fields, but breaks when reading the values of boolean bitfields. If the field is declared as bool b : 1 and has a value of 0b1, the call to SBValue::GetValueAsSigned() will return -1.

Nice, and it's not even my birthday. Just some nits that don't need another round of review.

Please land that as it's own commit (from what I understand from the bug report this worked before and you just remove the skipIf here)

You might want to assert that bb.IsValid() after this call (otherwise the GetValueAs* calls just return 0 and that's a confusing error).
