Add LLDB pretty-printing #8460

Open alexreinking opened 2 weeks ago

alexreinking commented 2 weeks ago

Pulling out changes from my rfactor work...

This PR adds some features for visualizing Halide's types in LLDB, which my IDE (CLion) uses. The IR printer supports a "summary" mode that replaces certain subexpressions / blocks with ellipses. This has greatly improved my debugging experience. I encourage others to add to this and tweak it.

Any idea how this works with "naked" LLDB? If so, adding a comment would be nice.

alexreinking commented 2 weeks ago

This just installs pretty printers. So after loading the script via command script import ./tools/lldbhalide.py, it should just start using the IRPrinter functions to render Exprs and Stmts

Can you add some documentation mention so folks know it exists? Perhaps in the README or maybe an added page in the Doxygen? I guess it's Halide internal devr only, but having a couple lines on it in docs means it will get used. Probably also worth writing down the command line flags to use it with straight command line lldb.

Of course -- I'll do that as I fix the indents I broke

Can you post some example lldb output with this enabled?

Status?

alexreinking commented 2 days ago

Still in progress. I added a bunch more rules in a private branch and will need to update this PR
