Hi, Liming:
There is some Python tips as descripted below during udk compiling process.

Hi, Liming:
Based on the below web info:
https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Edk2-buildtools
[Liming] This page is out of date. buildtools-BaseTools is DEPRECATED. Use BaseTools under EDK II instead.
The python tools are used to compile the building tools written by python.
https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/BuildTool-Setup-Guide
in the above web, it said:
“The tools in this section are NOT required to build the EDK II project; they are needed to compile the BaseTools used to build the EDK II project.”
[Liming] Thanks for your point. I will update this wiki page.
If I used the Prebuilt Windows tools (Win32 binaries), then I don’t need install python package anymore?
Or, current UDK source code doesn’t support prebuilt tools binary, it always need installing Python to compile python build tools every time.
[Liming] Now, edk2 requires Python3.x for build. This change happened one year ago. Please see https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/29436.

After edk2-stable201903 tag, edk2 supports Python3. User needs to install Python3.x, doesn’t need to set PYTHON path.

Hello,
I have a question about needing install python 2.7
If user wants to setup udk compiling environment, he needs install python 2.7.
When running build command every time, it always check python tool path.
Why?
If I compiled basetools before, and use the prebuilt basetools package, then I don’t need install python 2.7 package?

Hi Liming,
If have observed in newer Windows 10 versions, when using __debugbreak()in any
application that Windows just terminates the app, instead offering to debug it.
So in WinHost.exe too.
That’s why I usually insert the code snippet below to run into getchar()
when the program was started with the /debug command line switch.
As long as the App waits for the next keystroke, I can start the debugger (VS2019)
and connect to WinHost.exe process for debugging.
Do you have a better solution without modifying the source code?
Thanks,
Kilian

Hi Liming,
CpuBreakPoint() is the same as __debugbreak() on Microsoft Compiler and generates INT 3 DebugTrap.
Yes, that procedure has worked in the past and I have used it in the same way as you do.
But with newer Windows versions, Windows just terminates the “exceptional” process that emits
INT 3 or any other violation trap and does not offer to debug the process – surly for security reasons…
For debugging purpose on newer Windows 10 versions I always insert the code snippet below.
It gives the developer the chance to connect VS to the process to be debugged, while waiting on keyboard input.
(ALT-CTRL-P attach to process)
After that, with the debuggee is connected to VS _before_ the debug trap appears. VS is now
available for debugging the process with full source code.
The EmulatorPkg (and Nt32Pkg) was the most helpful tool to understand and debug UEFI internals for me.
EmulatorPkg should also usable and helpful for other devolpers.
Can you please insert the code snippet into main() from WinHost.c?
Thanks,
Kilian

Kilian:
I think this idea is good. It can be enabled when the developer wants to do the source level debug. So, one PCD may be introduced to control the logic. By default, there is no change. When PCD is enabled, WinHost will wait for the developer input.
Can you submit BZ for this request, and prepare the patch for the change?

Hi Liming,
If have observed in newer Windows 10 versions, when using __debugbreak()in any
application that Windows just terminates the app, instead offering to debug it.
So in WinHost.exe too.
That's why I usually insert the code snippet below to run into getchar()
when the program was started with the /debug command line switch.
As long as the App waits for the next keystroke, I can start the debugger (VS2019)
and connect to WinHost.exe process for debugging.
Do you have a better solution without modifying the source code?
Thanks,
Kilian

Hi Liming,
1. when you invoke WINHOST.EXE /debug, it waits for developer input
2. otherwise default behavior
A PCD is needless.

Hi Liming,
CpuBreakPoint() is the same as __debugbreak() on Microsoft Compiler and generates INT 3 DebugTrap.
Yes, that procedure has worked in the past and I have used it in the same way as you do.
But with newer Windows versions, Windows just terminates the “exceptional” process that emits

For debugging purpose on newer Windows 10 versions I always insert the code snippet below.
It gives the developer the chance to connect VS to the process to be debugged, while waiting on keyboard input.
(ALT-CTRL-P attach to process)
After that, with the debuggee is connected to VS _before_ the debug trap appears. VS is now
available for debugging the process with full source code.
The EmulatorPkg (and Nt32Pkg) was the most helpful tool to understand and debug UEFI internals for me.

This may be something that is better with a command line option when WinHost.exe is started instead of a PCD.
I also think there is a way to run VS first and start a process from VS and do an initial BP. Does that work with latest Windows 10?

Mike,
On the Unix side the strategy was to launch via the debugger [1], and also pass EFI specific debugger scripts into the debuggers on launch.
I've played with trick with OS apps by using CpuDeadLoop(). To get unstuck you just need to update Index to be non Zero. I've also used this technique for JTAG debuggers. For an EFI App I generally use CpuBreakpoint(). The advantage to using getchar() is the "otherwise press enter to continue..." path. So I agree the command line option seems like a reasonable thing to do.
The other trick I played in this area was to have both a `run` and `lldb` option to the script. The `run` option launches the debugger, the 'lldb' (or gdb) option drops you into a debugger prompt so you can set breakpoints early in boot.
Long term maybe we could have a common Python based build commands for both Windows and Unix and at that point we could move to launching via the debugger for all paths?

Subject: [edk2-devel] [edk2] [EmulatorPkg] using __debugbreak()
Hi Liming,
If have observed in newer Windows 10 versions, when using __debugbreak()in any
application that Windows just terminates the app, instead offering to debug it.
So in WinHost.exe too.
That’s why I usually insert the code snippet below to run into getchar()
when the program was started with the /debug command line switch.
As long as the App waits for the next keystroke, I can start the debugger (VS2019)
and connect to WinHost.exe process for debugging.
Do you have a better solution without modifying the source code?
Thanks,
Kilian

If have observed in newer Windows 10 versions, when using __debugbreak()in any
application that Windows just terminates the app, instead offering to debug it.
So in WinHost.exe too.
That's why I usually insert the code snippet below to run into getchar()

Do you have a better solution without modifying the source code?

Hi Ray,
[Ray] 1. Can you remove “if(1)”?:
DONE
Please define it in the begin of the function, and use edk2 data type and coding style, such as UINTN Index.
DONE
[Ray] 2. strncmp assumes user may input “/debugxxxxx”. Is that a valid assumption? I thought we only accept “/debug” the whole word as input parameter to trigger debugging.
I have no preference at all here. We can also consider to use a stricmp() to be case-in-sensitive…
[Ray] 3. I prefer to break the long string to multiple lines of SecPrint() call as what the code does in below.
Removed the entire string, that came in per accident and was a comment only “//”
Thanks,
Kilian

Subject: [edk2-devel] [edk2] [EmulatorPkg] using __debugbreak()
Hi Liming,
If have observed in newer Windows 10 versions, when using __debugbreak()in any
application that Windows just terminates the app, instead offering to debug it.
So in WinHost.exe too.
That’s why I usually insert the code snippet below to run into getchar()
when the program was started with the /debug command line switch.
As long as the App waits for the next keystroke, I can start the debugger (VS2019)
and connect to WinHost.exe process for debugging.
Do you have a better solution without modifying the source code?
Thanks,
Kilian

int i;
SecPrint ("######################################################################################################\n");
SecPrint ("add \"/debug\" command line switch, to connect to the debugger at the very beginning of POST emulation\n");

if(Argc > 1){
for(i = 1 ; i < Argc ; i++){
if(0 == strcmp("/debug", Argv[i])){
//SecPrint("IF YOU WANT TO DEBUG from the very beginning of the EMULATION:\n\t1. start the TASKMGR\n\t2. connect WinHost.exe to the debugger\n\t3. and press ENTER in this command box\nOR\n");
SecPrint("\t1. start Visual Studio\n");

SecPrint("\t6. go back to Visual Studio an RUN/SINGLE STEP the application\n");
SecPrint("\t7. otherwise press enter to continue...\n");

Please define it in the begin of the function, and use edk2 data type and coding style, such as UINTN Index.

How about use strncmp?
[Ray] 2. strncmp assumes user may input “/debugxxxxx”. Is that a valid assumption? I thought we only accept “/debug” the whole word as input parameter to trigger debugging.
Thanks

Subject: [edk2-devel] [edk2] [EmulatorPkg] using __debugbreak()
Hi Liming,
If have observed in newer Windows 10 versions, when using __debugbreak()in any
application that Windows just terminates the app, instead offering to debug it.
So in WinHost.exe too.
That’s why I usually insert the code snippet below to run into getchar()
when the program was started with the /debug command line switch.
As long as the App waits for the next keystroke, I can start the debugger (VS2019)
and connect to WinHost.exe process for debugging.
Do you have a better solution without modifying the source code?
Thanks,
Kilian

SecPrint ("######################################################################################################\n");

if(Argc > 1){
for(i = 1 ; i < Argc ; i++){
if(0 == strcmp("/debug", Argv[i])){
//SecPrint("IF YOU WANT TO DEBUG from the very beginning of the EMULATION:\n\t1. start the TASKMGR\n\t2. connect WinHost.exe to the debugger\n\t3. and press ENTER in this command box\nOR\n");
SecPrint("\t1. start Visual Studio\n");
