LLVM/Clang. This brings in several fixes, including:
- Improvements in the Just-In-Time compiler's
allocation of memory: the JIT now allocates
memory in chunks of sections, improving its
ability to generate relocations. I have
revamped the RecordingMemoryManager to reflect
these changes, as well as to get the memory
allocation and data copying out fo the
ClangExpressionParser code. Jim Grosbach wrote
the updates to the JIT on the LLVM side.
- A new ExternalASTSource interface to allow LLDB to
report accurate structure layout information to
Clang. Previously we could only report the sizes
of fields, not their offsets. This meant that if
data structures included field alignment
directives, we could not communicate the necessary
alignment to Clang and accesses to the data would
fail. Now we can (and I have update the relevant
test case). Thanks to Doug Gregor for implementing
the Clang side of this fix.
- The way Objective-C interfaces are completed by
Clang has been made consistent with RecordDecls;
with help from Doug Gregor and Greg Clayton I have
ensured that this still works.
- I have eliminated all local LLVM and Clang patches,
committing the ones that are still relevant to LLVM
and Clang as needed.
I have tested the changes extensively locally, but
please let me know if they cause any trouble for you.

instead of the __repr__. __repr__ is a function that should return an
expression that can be used to recreate an python object and we were using
it to just return a human readable string.
Fixed a crasher when using the new implementation of SBValue::Cast(SBType).
Thread hardened lldb::SBValue and lldb::SBWatchpoint and did other general
improvements to the API.
Fixed a crasher in lldb::SBValue::GetChildMemberWithName() where we didn't
correctly handle not having a target.

performing Objective-C instance variable lookup.
Previously, it only completed the derived class
that was the beginning of the search. Now, as
it walks up the superclass chain looking for the
ivar, it completes each superclass in turn.
Also added a testcase covering this issue.

parser has hitherto been an implementation waiting
for a use. I have now tied the '-o' option for
the expression command -- which indicates that the
result is an Objective-C object and needs to be
printed -- to the ExpressionParser, which
communicates the desired type to Clang.
Now, if the result of an expression is determined
by an Objective-C method call for which there is
no type information, that result is implicitly
cast to id if and only if the -o option is passed
to the expression command. (Otherwise if there
is no explicit cast Clang will issue an error.
This behavior is identical to what happened before
r146756.)
Also added a testcase for -o enabled and disabled.

"id" from being found by the parser as an
externally-defined type. Before, "id" would
sometimes make it through if it was defined in
a namespace, but this sometimes caused
confusion, for example when it conflicted with
std::locale::id.
llvm-svn: 146891
we handle Objective-C method calls. Currently,
LLDB treats the result of an Objective-C method
as unknown if the type information doesn't have
the method's signature. Now Clang can cast the
result to id if it isn't explicitly cast.
I also added a test case for this, as well as a
fix for a type import problem that this feature
exposed.

translation unit has a interface for a class "Bar" that contains hidden ivars
in the implementation and we make sure we can see these hidden ivars. We also
test the case where we stop in translation unit that contains the
implementation first. So the test runs two tests:
1 - run and stop where we have an interface, run to main and print and make
sure we find the hidden ivar
2 - run and stop where we have an implementation, run to main and print and make
sure we find the hidden ivar
llvm-svn: 146216
in the context in which it was originally found, the
expression parser now goes hunting for it in all modules
(in the appropriate namespace, if applicable). This means
that forward-declared types that exist in another shared
library will now be resolved correctly.
Added a test case to cover this. The test case also tests
"frame variable," which does not have this functionality
yet.

pointer to make the result of an expression. LLDB now
dumps the ivars of the Objective-C object and all of
its parents. This just required fixing a bug where we
didn't distinguish between Objective-C object pointers
and regular C-style pointers.
Also added a testcase to verify that this continues to
work.
llvm-svn: 146164
of problems with Objective-C object completion. To go
along with the LLVM/Clang-side fixes, we have a variety
of Objective-C improvements.
Fixes include:
- It is now possible to run expressions when stopped in
an Objective-C class method and have "self" act just
like "self" would act in the class method itself (i.e.,
[self classMethod] works without casting the return
type if debug info is present). To accomplish this,
the expression masquerades as a class method added by
a category.
- Objective-C objects can now provide methods and
properties and methods to Clang on demand (i.e., the
ASTImporter sets hasExternalVisibleDecls on Objective-C
interface objects).
- Objective-C built-in types, which had long been a bone
of contention (should we be using "id"? "id*"?), are
now fetched correctly using accessor functions on
ClangASTContext. We inhibit searches for them in the
debug information.
There are also a variety of logging fixes, and I made two
changes to the test suite:
- Enabled a test case for Objective-C properties in the
current translation unit.
- Added a test case for calling Objective-C class methods
when stopped in a class method.

This is the actual fix for the above radar where global variables that weren't
initialized were not being shown correctly when leaving the DWARF in the .o
files. Global variables that aren't intialized have symbols in the .o files
that specify they are undefined and external to the .o file, yet document the
size of the variable. This allows the compiler to emit a single copy, but makes
it harder for our DWARF in .o files with the executable having a debug map
because the symbol for the global in the .o file doesn't exist in a section
that we can assign a fixed up linked address to, and also the DWARF contains
an invalid address in the "DW_OP_addr" location (always zero). This means that
the DWARF is incorrect and actually maps all such global varaibles to the
first file address in the .o file which is usually the first function. So we
can fix this in either of two ways: make a new fake section in the .o file
so that we have a file address in the .o file that we can relink, or fix the
the variable as it is created in the .o file DWARF parser and actually give it
the file address from the executable. Each variable contains a
SymbolContextScope, or a single pointer that helps us to recreate where the
variables came from (which module, file, function, etc). This context helps
us to resolve any file addresses that might be in the location description of
the variable by pointing us to which file the file address comes from, so we
can just replace the SymbolContextScope and also fix up the location, which we
would have had to do for the other case as well, and update the file address.
Now globals display correctly.
The above changes made it possible to determine if a variable is a global
or static variable when parsing DWARF. The DWARF emits a DW_TAG_variable tag
for each variable (local, global, or static), yet DWARF provides no way for
us to classify these variables into these categories. We can now detect when
a variable has a simple address expressions as its location and this will help
us classify these correctly.
While making the above changes I also noticed that we had two symbol types:
eSymbolTypeExtern and eSymbolTypeUndefined which mean essentially the same
thing: the symbol is not defined in the current object file. Symbol objects
also have a bit that specifies if a symbol is externally visible, so I got
rid of the eSymbolTypeExtern symbol type and moved all code locations that
used it to use the eSymbolTypeUndefined type.

correctly, and added a testcase to check that it works.
The main problem here is that Objective-C class method
selectors are external references stored in a special
data structure in the LLVM IR module for an expression.
I just had to extract them and ensure that the real
class object locations were properly resolved.

"object borked"... Also made the error when the checker fails reflect this fact rather than
report a crash at 0x0.
Also a little cleanup:
- StopInfoMachException had a redundant copy of the description string.
- ThreadPlanCallFunction had a redundant copy of the thread, and had a
copy of the process that it didn't really need.
llvm-svn: 143419
Fix the RegularExpression class so it has a real copy constructor.
Fix the breakpoint setting with multiple shared libraries so it makes
one breakpoint not one per shared library.
Add SBFileSpecList, to be used to expose the above to the SB interface (not done yet.)

- 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

rolled back, and the testcase that the rollback
broke.
The new LLVM has a new ARM disassembler, which
may cause instability. Keeping the old one would
force us into a contorted position vis-a-vis the
LLVM sources we bring in, so we will address
issues on the new one rather than keeping the old
one around.
