Please fix this

This seems it could leak.
Are you sure it doesn't? If so add a comment here explaining where it's freed.

The raw variants here are overkill, you can the use normal ones

Leaking?

else Lua error?

Missing test cases!
Either a script that test it all, individual unit tests or a combination of both.

This update adds some tests for Lua LLDB module.

Trying to run the tests in my system failed with the following:

My guess is that you are not using LLVM's lit but instead using the system's

lldb/CMakeLists.txt

This is broken if the user specifies another INSTALL_PREFIX, as it forces it to /usr/local/lib/lua/5.3.
I think a safe option is to always set to lib/lua/5.3, so install prefixes can be concatenated freely.

I think we are missing the Framework build here.
LLDB_BUILD_FRAMEWORK is a Darwin specific variable, so you will most likely need one to test this.
I can help if you don't have access to a Darwin device.

Add comment here saying that the raw calls will restrict the table to be a sequence of strings.

Please add it in other functions as well.

219–221

This is not being generated by SWIG for some reason.

I think it's more readable to just have an else clause that raises an error on line 212.

275

Else clause here for raising an error for types that are not supported

278

This bug was not caught by the tests, perhaps we need to expand it more?
This would certainly generate a NULL pointer de-reference as the argument would always be NULL, since it's replacing the above code with just free().

I tried commenting and uncommenting these lines then diff, found that the typecheck is actually generated on those overloaded functions. SBTarget::Launch no longer works after commenting in my cases:

lua5.3: test.lua:27: Wrong arguments for overloaded function 'SBTarget_Launch'
  Possible C/C++ prototypes are:
    lldb::SBTarget::Launch(lldb::SBListener &,char const **,char const **,char const *,char const *,char const *,char const *,uint32_t,bool,lldb::SBError &)
    lldb::SBTarget::Launch(lldb::SBLaunchInfo &,lldb::SBError &)

It seems that SWIG uses "SWIG_isptrtype" to decide arg matches "char**", so this typecheck is necessary.

For those functions with just one definition (i.e. not overloaded), this typecheck does nothing on them, so it will be typemap(in)'s responsibility to check arg types.

Hi Siger,

We are almost there.
I encourage you to continue working on this patch.

I have been busy the past weeks, but I will try to review ASAP once you address my comments.

I see, Thanks.
That was indeed a good way to see what SWIG is generating :).

FindLuaAndSwig.cmake is responsible for finding Lua. If LLDB_ENABLE_LUA is set, then you can assume Lua is available.

This update mainly fixed problematic typemaps and adding necessary comments.

Together, it forced Lua installation path as "PREFIX/lib/lua/5.3" and removed "lit.util" in tests.

Fix typo in SBData test.

Rebase commits.

Just one last thing and I think we are done!

Thanks for your work.

Could we not use an external dependency?
For instance in my setup it fails because it couldn't find this library.

Does it make sense to directly copy "luaunit.lua" to the Lua test dir?

You don't seem to have a hard dependency on it.
Couldn't you just replicate what you are interested? Instead of bringing in a full blown unit testing framework...

Add dependency "luaunit" as an internal one.

Oh sorry, I didn't notice the comments here.

I will remove the dependency of "luaunit" soon.

Add assertion functions and error status detection to remove "luaunit"

LGTM.

You will have to rebase to main.

Thanks!

Pull and merge conflicts, will soon be merged into main.
