[lldb-dev] 32-bit linux IsWatchpointHit assertion failure due to WriteRegister

[Matthew Gardiner]

Hi folks

I've synced with the head of the tree this morning and rebuilt and I'm seeing another assertion failure impacting my 32-bit linux experience. Running my test app looks like this:

$ lldb hello
Current executable set to 'hello' (i386).
(lldb) log enable linux ptrace

RegisterContextPOSIXProcessMonitor_x86_64::IsWatchpointHit(uint32_t): Assertion `false && "Could not initialize watchpoint registers"' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

The source of the failure is now:

bool
RegisterContextPOSIXProcessMonitor_x86_64::IsWatchpointHit(uint32_t hw_index)
{
     bool is_hit = false;

     if (m_watchpoints_initialized == false)
     {
         // Reset the debug status and debug control registers
         RegisterValue zero_bits = RegisterValue(uint64_t(0));
         if (!WriteRegister(m_reg_info.first_dr + 6, zero_bits) || !WriteRegister(m_reg_info.first_dr + 7, zero_bits))
-->            assert(false && "Could not initialize watchpoint registers");

I'll re-sync and build, just to rule out my wimpy build environment, then start digging again...
