2024-05-08Only update ncurses display on activity or keypressHEADmasterMalfurious1-1/+1
Previously, the test UI logic would constantly regenerate and print the screen's contents every iteration of the main processing loop to naively ensure that changes to the underlying system were reflected immediately. Sometimes, this would result in a screen flicker due to the rapid clearing and printing. This makes the UI a bit smarter about when refreshes occur, by monitoring activity results from the debugger and console modules in addition to user input. This should improve the screen flicker performance. This also addresses an issue selecting text on the screen, which was previously not possible due to the rapid refreshing as well.

2024-05-08Parameterize architecture-specific detailsMalfurious1-2/+3
Abstract architecture details into architecture.h and add x86 constants. This is slightly complicated by the fact that 64-bit hosts can run 32-bit code, so we do still need to resolve some values dynamically. The architecture_info() function is intented to address this, and performs parameter lookups based on the current state of the guest process. Resolving values on a per-process-state basis is important due to the process model under Linux. If we fork to debug a 32-bit program, the forked process will be native 64-bit until the execve system call. And of course, the process is then free to exec anything it likes later on as well.

2024-04-27Fix removal of temporary breakpoints when rapidly restarting threadMalfurious1-0/+1
This bug would occur when the debugger keeps rapidly hitting a breakpoint and restarting execution (and the breakpoint is temporary / one-time). For example, stepping over a long recursive call. It would be possible for the user to manually interrupt execution at the precise moment that the debugee was returning from a single step over the breakpoint. In this scenario, the thread would correctly remain stopped as requested, however the temporary breakpoint would incorrectly remain in the breakpoint list. The cause of this issue is that uninstall_breakpoints only considered removing temporaries if they were currently installed for use. This makes sense, as we have used the b->installed flag as a sort of check to see if we have YET installed the breakpoint (rather than "is it STILL installed?") to ensure that we don't remove it too soon. The more accurate logic here is to acctually check whether the breakpoint has EVER been installed and only then consider it for removal if it is temporary. This fixes the case in question without breaking behavior when performing an initial run single step. Signed-off-by: Malfurious <m@lfurio.us>
