When expression evaluation is performed after a crash, and the expression can
be handled by the expression interpreter, lldb fails with
error: warning: expression result unused
error: Interpreting the expression locally failed: Result of expression is in
bad memory
To reproduce, build test/functionalities/inferior-crashing and run
lldb a.out
run
p argc
Note that the automated test, test_inferior_expr shows the expected result and
can be run using:
python dotest.py --executable <path-to-lldb>
functionalities/inferior-crashing
Note that the above test fails because ClangExpressionParser::ParseAST fails:
runCmd: p argc
error: use of undeclared identifier 'argc'
error: 1 errors parsing expression
The following stack frame shows the expected context for the call:
#1 0x00007ffff1474b93 in lldb_private::ClangUserExpression::Parse
(this=0x102d410, error_stream=..., exe_ctx=...,
execution_policy=lldb_private::eExecutionPolicyNever,
keep_result_in_memory=true) at
/home/athirumu/dev/lldb/tools/lldb/source/Expression/ClangUserExpression.cpp:453
To reproduce the above failure manually, use:
lldb a.out
run
p argc
p argc
Reproduced using Ubuntu 12.04 with clang using r179749. Also reproduces using
gcc 4.6.3 and icc 13.1.0. Cannot reproduce manually using gcc in place of
lldb.
