[LLDB] libcxx summary formatters for std::string_view
ClosedPublic

Authored by puremourning on Oct 21 2021, 7:54 AM.

Details

Summary

When printing a std::string_view, print the referenced string as the
summary. Support string_view, u32string_view, u16string_view and
wstring_view, as we do for std::string and friends.

This is based on the existing fomratter for std::string, and just
extracts the data and length members, pushing them through the existing
string formatter.

In testing this, a "FIXME" was corrected for printing of non-ASCII empty
values. Previously, the "u", 'U" etc. prefixes were not printed for
basic_string<> types that were not char. This is trivial to resolve by
printing the prefix before the "".

I'm happy to revert/split out the change for empty strings, as this is perhaps contentious (and not exactly minimal for this patch).

Also, I'm only implementing libcxx (for now). We can follow up with libstdc++ in another patch if this is accepted.

This is my first lldb patch, so apologies if I did something out of ordinary.

I would actually prefer if we could split this into a separate change :) (Sorry!)

Sounds good to me.

Nope, I think this is actually looking pretty good. I just have a few nits that I'll try get around today/tomorrow.

No problem, that was my gut feeling at the time too.

Remove change to the formatting of empty u16 and u32 strings

We have lldbtest.expect_var_path for doing this sort of test. It makes these tests easier to read and less likely to be fooled by accidental matches.

Use expect_var_path rather than just expect in test

Thanks for the review!

Done. There's s slight difference in this API - the null pointer summary returns "" via this api rather than the output which returns "nullptr", so I've inlaced both in the test.

It looks good to me but can we verify it behaves nicely with undefined behavior cases e.g.:

std::string s = "Hellooooooooooooooo ";
std::string_view sv = s + "World\n";

and a case like the one that was fixed in D108228

I am not expecting any surprises since you are using the underlying string formatter but worth checking.

Revert some formatting lost in rebase

std::string_view sv = s + "World\n";

Will add some cases, sure.

Thanks for the pointer! (no pun intended). I will apply the same change/mitigattion to my new code.

yes, certainly is, thanks!

Add some tests for dodgy inputs.
Handle invalid cases more consistently.
Factor out some copy paste code.

Sorry, but is anything further required from me on this patch ?

You addressed an issue Shafik asked you to, so then he should make sure he's happy with the change and mark the patch accepted. OTOH we're all busy so it's easy to let this sort of thing drop. On your end, you should wait a polite interval then issue a gentle ping in his direction... A week is an okay interval, I think, so now would be appropriate.

Sure, I wasn't nagging, just checking :) I completely understand how these things go. There's no rush.

Apologies, this dropped off my radar it LGTM, thank you!

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.Nov 19 2021, 2:38 PM

Apologies, this dropped off my radar it LGTM, thank you!

Thanks!

Sorry for my ignorance, but what's the next step to land this? Do you want me to rebase it first and push that, or is someone abele land this for me, as I don't have commit rights ?

Just giving this a gentle nudge again. As I said before, there's no rush, but if there's any action I can take to get this landed, please let me know. Many thanks again, ben.

Polite ping to get this committed.

I have rebased against main today and run the test, it still passes and the patch applies cleanly.

Friendly ping to get this landed.
