# `bdb` — Debugger framework

Código-fonte: Lib/bdb.py

The `bdb` module handles basic debugger functions, like setting breakpoints or managing execution via the debugger.

A seguinte exceção é definida:

exception bdb.BdbQuit

  Exception raised by the `Bdb` class for quitting the debugger.

The `bdb` module also defines two classes:

class bdb.Breakpoint(self, file, line, temporary=False, cond=None, funcname=None)

  This class implements temporary breakpoints, ignore counts, disabling and (re-)enabling, and conditionals.

  Breakpoints are indexed by number through a list called `bpbynumber` and by `(file, line)` pairs through `bplist`. The former points to a single instance of class `Breakpoint`. The latter points to a list of such instances since there may be more than one breakpoint per line.

  When creating a breakpoint, its associated `file name` should be in canonical form. If a `funcname` is defined, a breakpoint `hit` will be counted when the first line of that function is executed. A `conditional` breakpoint always counts a `hit`.

  `Breakpoint` instances have the following methods:

  deleteMe()

    Delete the breakpoint from the list associated to a file/line. If it is the last breakpoint in that position, it also deletes the entry for the file/line.

  enable()

    Mark the breakpoint as enabled.

  disable()

    Mark the breakpoint as disabled.

  bpformat()

    Return a string with all the information about the breakpoint, nicely formatted:

    - Breakpoint number.

    - Temporary status (del or keep).

    - File/line position.

    - Break condition.

    - Número de vezes para ignorar.

    - Number of times hit.

    Adicionado na versão 3.2.

  bpprint(out=None)

    Print the output of `bpformat()` to the file out, or if it is `None`, to standard output.

  `Breakpoint` instances have the following attributes:

  file

    Nome do arquivo do `Breakpoint`.

  line

    Line number of the `Breakpoint` within `file`.

  temporary

    `True` if a `Breakpoint` at (file, line) is temporary.

  cond

    Condition for evaluating a `Breakpoint` at (file, line).

  funcname

    Function name that defines whether a `Breakpoint` is hit upon entering the function.

  enabled

    `True` if `Breakpoint` is enabled.

  bpbynumber

    Numeric index for a single instance of a `Breakpoint`.

  bplist

    Dictionary of `Breakpoint` instances indexed by (`file`, `line`) tuples.

  ignore

    Number of times to ignore a `Breakpoint`.

  hits

    Count of the number of times a `Breakpoint` has been hit.

class bdb.Bdb(skip=None)

  The `Bdb` class acts as a generic Python debugger base class.

  This class takes care of the details of the trace facility; a derived class should implement user interaction. The standard debugger class (`pdb.Pdb`) is an example.

  The skip argument, if given, must be an iterable of glob-style module name patterns. The debugger will not step into frames that originate in a module that matches one of these patterns. Whether a frame is considered to originate in a certain module is determined by the `__name__` in the frame globals.

  Alterado na versão 3.1: Adicionado o parâmetro skip.

  The following methods of `Bdb` normally don’t need to be overridden.

  canonic(filename)

    Return canonical form of filename.

    For real file names, the canonical form is an operating-system-dependent, `case-normalized` `absolute path`. A filename with angle brackets, such as `"<stdin>"` generated in interactive mode, is returned unchanged.

  reset()

    Set the `botframe`, `stopframe`, `returnframe` and `quitting` attributes with values ready to start debugging.

  trace_dispatch(frame, event, arg)

    This function is installed as the trace function of debugged frames. Its return value is the new trace function (in most cases, that is, itself).

    The default implementation decides how to dispatch a frame, depending on the type of event (passed as a string) that is about to be executed. event can be one of the following:

    - `"line"`: A new line of code is going to be executed.

    - `"call"`: A function is about to be called, or another code block entered.

    - `"return"`: A function or other code block is about to return.

    - `"exception"`: An exception has occurred.

    - `"c_call"`: A C function is about to be called.

    - `"c_return"`: A C function has returned.

    - `"c_exception"`: A C function has raised an exception.

    For the Python events, specialized functions (see below) are called. For the C events, no action is taken.

    The arg parameter depends on the previous event.

    See the documentation for `sys.settrace()` for more information on the trace function. For more information on code and frame objects, refer to A hierarquia de tipos padrão.

  dispatch_line(frame)

    If the debugger should stop on the current line, invoke the `user_line()` method (which should be overridden in subclasses). Raise a `BdbQuit` exception if the `quitting` flag is set (which can be set from `user_line()`). Return a reference to the `trace_dispatch()` method for further tracing in that scope.

  dispatch_call(frame, arg)

    If the debugger should stop on this function call, invoke the `user_call()` method (which should be overridden in subclasses). Raise a `BdbQuit` exception if the `quitting` flag is set (which can be set from `user_call()`). Return a reference to the `trace_dispatch()` method for further tracing in that scope.

  dispatch_return(frame, arg)

    If the debugger should stop on this function return, invoke the `user_return()` method (which should be overridden in subclasses). Raise a `BdbQuit` exception if the `quitting` flag is set (which can be set from `user_return()`). Return a reference to the `trace_dispatch()` method for further tracing in that scope.

  dispatch_exception(frame, arg)

    If the debugger should stop at this exception, invokes the `user_exception()` method (which should be overridden in subclasses). Raise a `BdbQuit` exception if the `quitting` flag is set (which can be set from `user_exception()`). Return a reference to the `trace_dispatch()` method for further tracing in that scope.

  Normally derived classes don’t override the following methods, but they may if they want to redefine the definition of stopping and breakpoints.

  is_skipped_line(module_name)

    Return `True` if module_name matches any skip pattern.

  stop_here(frame)

    Return `True` if frame is below the starting frame in the stack.

  break_here(frame)

    Return `True` if there is an effective breakpoint for this line.

    Check whether a line or function breakpoint exists and is in effect. Delete temporary breakpoints based on information from `effective()`.

  break_anywhere(frame)

    Return `True` if any breakpoint exists for frame’s filename.

  Derived classes should override these methods to gain control over debugger operation.

  user_call(frame, argument_list)

    Called from `dispatch_call()` if a break might stop inside the called function.

    argument_list is not used anymore and will always be `None`. The argument is kept for backwards compatibility.

  user_line(frame)

    Called from `dispatch_line()` when either `stop_here()` or `break_here()` returns `True`.

  user_return(frame, return_value)

    Called from `dispatch_return()` when `stop_here()` returns `True`.

  user_exception(frame, exc_info)

    Called from `dispatch_exception()` when `stop_here()` returns `True`.

  do_clear(arg)

    Handle how a breakpoint must be removed when it is a temporary one.

    This method must be implemented by derived classes.

  Derived classes and clients can call the following methods to affect the stepping state.

  set_step()

    Stop after one line of code.

  set_next(frame)

    Stop on the next line in or below the given frame.

  set_return(frame)

    Stop when returning from the given frame.

  set_until(frame, lineno=None)

    Stop when the line with the lineno greater than the current one is reached or when returning from current frame.

  set_trace([frame])

    Start debugging from frame. If frame is not specified, debugging starts from caller’s frame.

  set_continue()

    Stop only at breakpoints or when finished. If there are no breakpoints, set the system trace function to `None`.

  set_quit()

    Set the `quitting` attribute to `True`. This raises `BdbQuit` in the next call to one of the `dispatch_*()` methods.

  Derived classes and clients can call the following methods to manipulate breakpoints. These methods return a string containing an error message if something went wrong, or `None` if all is well.

  set_break(filename, lineno, temporary=False, cond=None, funcname=None)

    Set a new breakpoint. If the lineno line doesn’t exist for the filename passed as argument, return an error message. The filename should be in canonical form, as described in the `canonic()` method.

  clear_break(filename, lineno)

    Delete the breakpoints in filename and lineno. If none were set, return an error message.

  clear_bpbynumber(arg)

    Delete the breakpoint which has the index arg in the `Breakpoint.bpbynumber`. If arg is not numeric or out of range, return an error message.

  clear_all_file_breaks(filename)

    Delete all breakpoints in filename. If none were set, return an error message.

  clear_all_breaks()

    Delete all existing breakpoints. If none were set, return an error message.

  get_bpbynumber(arg)

    Return a breakpoint specified by the given number. If arg is a string, it will be converted to a number. If arg is a non-numeric string, if the given breakpoint never existed or has been deleted, a `ValueError` is raised.

    Adicionado na versão 3.2.

  get_break(filename, lineno)

    Return `True` if there is a breakpoint for lineno in filename.

  get_breaks(filename, lineno)

    Return all breakpoints for lineno in filename, or an empty list if none are set.

  get_file_breaks(filename)

    Return all breakpoints in filename, or an empty list if none are set.

  get_all_breaks()

    Return all breakpoints that are set.

  Derived classes and clients can call the following methods to get a data structure representing a stack trace.

  get_stack(f, t)

    Return a list of (frame, lineno) tuples in a stack trace, and a size.

    The most recently called frame is last in the list. The size is the number of frames below the frame where the debugger was invoked.

  format_stack_entry(frame_lineno, lprefix=': ')

    Return a string with information about a stack entry, which is a `(frame, lineno)` tuple. The return string contains:

    - The canonical filename which contains the frame.

    - O nome da função ou `"<lambda>"`.

    - O argumento de entrada.

    - The return value.

    - The line of code (if it exists).

  Os dois métodos a seguir podem ser chamados pelos clientes para usar um depurador e depurar uma instrução, fornecida como uma string.

  run(cmd, globals=None, locals=None)

    Debug a statement executed via the `exec()` function. globals defaults to `__main__.__dict__`, locals defaults to globals.

  runeval(expr, globals=None, locals=None)

    Debug an expression executed via the `eval()` function. globals and locals have the same meaning as in `run()`.

  runctx(cmd, globals, locals)

    For backwards compatibility. Calls the `run()` method.

  runcall(func, /, *args, **kwds)

    Debug a single function call, and return its result.

Finally, the module defines the following functions:

bdb.checkfuncname(b, frame)

  Return `True` if we should break here, depending on the way the `Breakpoint` b was set.

  If it was set via line number, it checks if `b.line` is the same as the one in frame. If the breakpoint was set via `function name`, we have to check we are in the right frame (the right function) and if we are on its first executable line.

bdb.effective(file, line, frame)

  Return `(active breakpoint, delete temporary flag)` or `(None, None)` as the breakpoint to act upon.

  The active breakpoint is the first entry in `bplist` for the (`file`, `line`) (which must exist) that is `enabled`, for which `checkfuncname()` is true, and that has neither a false `condition` nor positive `ignore` count. The flag, meaning that a temporary breakpoint should be deleted, is `False` only when the `cond` cannot be evaluated (in which case, `ignore` count is ignored).

  If no such entry exists, then `(None, None)` is returned.

bdb.set_trace()

  Start debugging with a `Bdb` instance from caller’s frame.
