This checkin adds the capability for LLDB to load plugins from external dylibs that can provide new commands
It exports an SBCommand class from the public API layer, and a new SBCommandPluginInterface
There is a minimal load-only plugin manager built into the debugger, which can be accessed via Debugger::LoadPlugin.
Plugins are loaded from two locations at debugger startup (LLDB.framework/Resources/PlugIns and ~/Library/Application Support/LLDB/PlugIns) and more can be (re)loaded via the "plugin load" command
For an example of how to make a plugin, refer to the fooplugin.cpp file in examples/plugins/commands
Caveats:
Currently, the new API objects and features are not exposed via Python.
The new commands can only be "parsed" (i.e. not raw) and get their command line via a char** parameter (we do not expose our internal Args object)
There is no unloading feature, which can potentially lead to leaks if you overwrite the commands by reloading the same or different plugins
There is no API exposed for option parsing, which means you may need to use getopt or roll-your-own

This may (but shouldn't) break Linux (but I tested and it still worked on FreeBSD).
The same shell scripts are now used on Xcode and Makefiles, for generating
the SWIG bindings.
Some compatibility fixes were applied, too (python path, bash-isms, etc).

is not available (LLDB_DISABLE_PYTHON is defined).
Change build-swig-Python.sh to emit an empty LLDBPythonWrap.cpp file if
this build is LLDB_DISABLE_PYTHON.
Change the "Copy to Xcode.app" shell script phase in the lldb.xcodeproj
to only do this copying for Mac native builds.

New public API for handling formatters: creating, deleting, modifying categories, and formatters, and managing type/formatter association.
This provides SB classes for each of the main object types involved in providing formatter support:
SBTypeCategory
SBTypeFilter
SBTypeFormat
SBTypeSummary
SBTypeSynthetic
plus, an SBTypeNameSpecifier class that is used on the public API layer to abstract the notion that formatters can be applied to plain type-names as well as to regular expressions
For naming consistency, this patch also renames a lot of formatters-related classes.
Plus, the changes in how flags are handled that started with summaries is now extended to other classes as well. A new enum (lldb::eTypeOption) is meant to support this on the public side.
The patch also adds several new calls to the formatter infrastructure that are used to implement by-index accessing and several other design changes required to accommodate the new API layer.
An architectural change is introduced in that backing objects for formatters now become writable. On the public API layer, CoW is implemented to prevent unwanted propagation of changes.
Lastly, there are some modifications in how the "default" category is constructed and managed in relation to other categories.

- If you download and build the sources in the Xcode project, x86_64 builds
by default using the "llvm.zip" checkpointed LLVM.
- If you delete the "lldb/llvm.zip" and the "lldb/llvm" folder, and build the
Xcode project will download the right LLVM sources and build them from
scratch
- If you have a "lldb/llvm" folder already that contains a "lldb/llvm/lib"
directory, we will use the sources you have placed in the LLDB directory.
Python can now be disabled for platforms that don't support it.
Changed the way the libllvmclang.a files get used. They now all get built into
arch specific directories and never get merged into universal binaries as this
was causing issues where you would have to go and delete the file if you wanted
to build an extra architecture slice.

to the Python interface.
Implement yet another (threre're 3 now) iterator protocol for SBTarget: watchpoint_location_iter(),
to iterate on the available watchpoint locations. And add a print representation for
SBWatchpointLocation.
Exercise some of these Python API with TestWatchpointLocationIter.py.

- introduced two new classes ValueObjectConstResultChild and ValueObjectConstResultImpl: the first one is a ValueObjectChild obtained from
a ValueObjectConstResult, the second is a common implementation backend for VOCR and VOCRCh of method calls meant to read through pointers stored
in frozen objects ; now such reads transparently move from host to target as required
- as a consequence of the above, removed code that made target-memory copies of expression results in several places throughout LLDB, and also
removed code that enabled to recognize an expression result VO as such
- introduced a new GetPointeeData() method in ValueObject that lets you read a given amount of objects of type T from a VO
representing a T* or T[], and doing dereferences transparently
in private layer it returns a DataExtractor ; in public layer it returns an instance of a newly created lldb::SBData
- as GetPointeeData() does the right thing for both frozen and non-frozen ValueObject's, reimplemented ReadPointedString() to use it
en lieu of doing the raw read itself
- introduced a new GetData() method in ValueObject that lets you get a copy of the data that backs the ValueObject (for pointers,
this returns the address without any previous dereferencing steps ; for arrays it actually reads the whole chunk of memory)
in public layer this returns an SBData, just like GetPointeeData()
- introduced a new CreateValueFromData() method in SBValue that lets you create a new SBValue from a chunk of data wrapped in an SBData
the limitation to remember for this kind of SBValue is that they have no address: extracting the address-of for these objects (with any
of GetAddress(), GetLoadAddress() and AddressOf()) will return invalid values
- added several tests to check that "p"-ing objects (STL classes, char* and char[]) will do the right thing
Solved a bug where global pointers to global variables were not dereferenced correctly for display
New target setting "max-string-summary-length" gives the maximum number of characters to show in a string when summarizing it, instead of the hardcoded 128
Solved a bug where the summary for char[] and char* would not be shown if the ValueObject's were dumped via the "p" command
Removed m_pointers_point_to_load_addrs from ValueObject. Introduced a new m_address_type_of_children, which each ValueObject can set to tell the address type
of any pointers and/or references it creates. In the current codebase, this is load address most of the time (the only notable exception being file
addresses that generate file address children UNLESS we have a live process)
Updated help text for summary-string
Fixed an issue in STL formatters where std::stlcontainer::iterator would match the container's synthetic children providers
Edited the syntax and help for some commands to have proper argument types

This is so that the objects which support the iteration protocol are immediately obvious
from looking at the lldb.py file.
SBTarget supports two types of iterations: module and breakpoint. For an SBTarget instance,
you will need to issue either:
for m in target.module_iter()
or
for b in target.breakpoint_iter()
For other single iteration protocol objects, just use, for example:
for thread in process:
ID = thread.GetThreadID()
for frame in thread:
frame.Disassemble()
....

public types and public enums. This was done to keep the SWIG stuff from
parsing all sorts of enums and types that weren't needed, and allows us to
abstract our API better.

version); change include statements to use Python.h in the Python framework
on Mac OS X systems; leave it using regular Python.h on other systems.
Note: I think this *ought* to work properly on Linux systems, but I don't have
a system to test it on...

it logs the function calls, their arguments and the return values. This is not
complete or polished, but I am committing it now, at the request of someone who
really wants to use it, even though it's not really done. It currently does not
attempt to log all the functions, just the most important ones. I will be
making further adjustments to the API logging code over the next few days/weeks.
(Suggestions for improvements are welcome).
Update the Python build scripts to re-build the swig C++ file whenever
the python-extensions.swig file is modified.
Correct the help for 'log enable' command (give it the correct number & type of
arguments).

tricks to get types to resolve. I did this by correctly including the correct
files: stdint.h and all lldb-*.h files first before including the API files.
This allowed me to remove all of the hacks that were in the lldb.swig file
and it also allows all of the #defines in lldb-defines.h and enumerations
in lldb-enumerations.h to appear in the lldb.py module. This will make the
python script code a lot more readable.
Cleaned up the "process launch" command to not execute a "process continue"
command, it now just does what it should have with the internal API calls
instead of executing another command line command.
Made the lldb_private::Process set the state to launching and attaching if
WillLaunch/WillAttach return no error respectively.

o Fixed a crasher when getting it via SBTarget.GetExecutable().
>>> filespec = target.GetExecutable()
Segmentation fault
o And renamed SBFileSpec::GetFileName() to GetFilename() to be consistent with FileSpec::GetFilename().

with the only exception of launching the process from SBTarget which is under
investigation.
o build-swig-Python.sh should also checks the timestamp of ${swig_input_file}
for update eligibility. Also, once an update is in order, there's no need
to check the remaining header files for timestamps.
o Coaches swig to treat StopReason as an int type, instead of a C++ class.

Add functions to look up debugger by id
Add global variable to lldb python module, to hold debugger id
Modify embedded Python interpreter to update the global variable with the
id of its current debugger.
Modify the char ** typemap definition in lldb.swig to accept 'None' (for NULL)
as a valid value.
The point of all this is so that, when you drop into the embedded interpreter
from the command interpreter (or when doing Python-based breakpoint commands),
there is a way for the Python side to find/get the correct debugger
instance ( by checking debugger_unique_id, then calling
SBDebugger::FindDebuggerWithID on it).
