* proc: add a test for dangling unsafe pointers This new tests checks the behavior when dereferencing dangling pointers. The behavior does not fully make sense; the test checks the current behavior for now, which will be improved in subsequent commits. * proc: populate pointer values This patch changes how Value and Unreadable are populated for pointer Variables. Before this patch, variables of kind reflect.Ptr did not have their Value field populated. This patch populates it in Variable.loadValue(), which seems natural and consistent with other types of variables. The Value is the address that the pointer points to. The Unreadable field was populated inconsistently for pointer variables: it was never populated for an outer pointer, but it could be populated for an inner pointer in pointer-to-pointer types. Before this patch, in pointer whose value could not be read was not easily distinguishable from a pointer with a value that could be read, but that cannot be dereferenced (i.e. a dangling pointer): neither of these would be marked as Unreadable, and both would have a child marked as Unreadable. This patch makes it so that a pointer variable whose pointer value cannot be read is marked as Unreadable. Using this new distinction, this patch fixes a bug around dereferencing dangling pointers: before, attempting such a dereference produced a "nil pointer dereference" error. This was bogus, since the pointer was not nil. Now, we are more discerning and generate a different error.

About Delve
Delve is a debugger for the Go programming language. The goal of the project is to provide a simple, full featured debugging tool for Go. Delve should be easy to invoke and easy to use. Chances are if you're using a debugger, things aren't going your way. With that in mind, Delve should stay out of your way as much as possible.
