A few of the issue I have been trying to track down and fix have been due to the way LLDB lazily gets complete definitions for types within the debug info. When we run across a class/struct/union definition in the DWARF, we will only parse the full definition if we need to. This works fine for top level types that are assigned directly to variables and arguments, but when we have a variable with a class, lets say "A" for this example, that has a member: "B *m_b". Initially we don't need to hunt down a definition for this class unless we are ever asked to do something with it ("expr m_b->getDecl()" for example). With my previous approach to lazy type completion, we would be able to take a "A *a" and get a complete type for it, but we wouldn't be able to then do an "a->m_b->getDecl()" unless we always expanded all types within a class prior to handing out the type. Expanding everything is very costly and it would be great if there were a better way. A few months ago I worked with the llvm/clang folks to have the ExternalASTSource class be able to complete classes if there weren't completed yet: class ExternalASTSource { .... virtual void CompleteType (clang::TagDecl *Tag); virtual void CompleteType (clang::ObjCInterfaceDecl *Class); }; This was great, because we can now have the class that is producing the AST (SymbolFileDWARF and SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap) sign up as external AST sources and the object that creates the forward declaration types can now also complete them anywhere within the clang type system. This patch makes a few major changes: - lldb_private::Module classes now own the AST context. Previously the TypeList objects did. - The DWARF parsers now sign up as an external AST sources so they can complete types. - All of the pure clang type system wrapper code we have in LLDB (ClangASTContext, ClangASTType, and more) can now be iterating through children of any type, and if a class/union/struct type (clang::RecordType or ObjC interface) is found that is incomplete, we can ask the AST to get the definition. - The SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap class now will create and use a single AST that all child SymbolFileDWARF classes will share (much like what happens when we have a complete linked DWARF for an executable). We will need to modify some of the ClangUserExpression code to take more advantage of this completion ability in the near future. Meanwhile we should be better off now that we can be accessing any children of variables through pointers and always be able to resolve the clang type if needed. llvm-svn: 123613
