The many many benefits include:
1 - Input/Output/Error streams are now handled as real streams not a push style input
2 - auto completion in python embedded interpreter
3 - multi-line input for "script" and "expression" commands now allow you to edit previous/next lines using up and down arrow keys and this makes multi-line input actually a viable thing to use
4 - it is now possible to use curses to drive LLDB (please try the "gui" command)
We will need to deal with and fix any buildbot failures and tests and arise now that input/output and error are correctly hooked up in all cases.

It completes the job of using EvaluateExpressionOptions consistently throughout
the inferior function calling mechanism in lldb begun in Greg's patch r194009.
It removes a handful of alternate calls into the ClangUserExpression/ClangFunction/ThreadPlanCallFunction which
were there for convenience. Using the EvaluateExpressionOptions removes the need for them.
Using that it gets the --debug option from Greg's patch to work cleanly.
It also adds another EvaluateExpressionOption to not trap exceptions when running expressions. You shouldn't
use this option unless you KNOW your expression can't throw beyond itself. This is:
<rdar://problem/15374885>
At present this is only available through the SB API's or python.
It fixes a bug where function calls would unset the ObjC & C++ exception breakpoints without checking whether
they were set by somebody else already.
llvm-svn: 194182
Cleaned up ClangUserExpression::Evaluate() to have only one variant that takes a "const EvaluateExpressionOptions& options" instead of taking many arguments.
The "--debug" option is designed to allow you to debug your expression by stopping at the first instruction (it enables --ignore-breakpoints=true and --unwind-on-error=false) and allowing you to step through your JIT code. It needs to be more integrated with the thread plan, so I am checking this in so Jim Ingham can make it happen.

pure virtual base class and made StackFrame a subclass of that. As
I started to build on top of that arrangement today, I found that it
wasn't working out like I intended. Instead I'll try sticking with
the single StackFrame class -- there's too much code duplication to
make a more complicated class hierarchy sensible I think.
llvm-svn: 193983
defines a protocol that all subclasses will implement. StackFrame
is currently the only subclass and the methods that Frame vends are
nearly identical to StackFrame's old methods.
Update all callers to use Frame*/Frame& instead of pointers to
StackFrames.
This is almost entirely a mechanical change that touches a lot of
the code base so I'm committing it alone. No new functionality is
added with this patch, no new subclasses of Frame exist yet.
I'll probably need to tweak some of the separation, possibly moving
some of StackFrame's methods up in to Frame, but this is a good
starting point.

DumpValueObject() 2.0
This checkin restores pre-Xcode5 functionality to the "po" (expr -O) command:
- expr now has a new --description-verbosity (-v) argument, which takes either compact or full as a value (-v is the same as -vfull)
When the full mode is on, "po" will show the extended output with type name, persistent variable name and value, as in
(lldb) expr -O -v -- foo
(id) $0 = 0x000000010010baf0 {
1 = 2;
2 = 3;
}
When -v is omitted, or -vcompact is passed, the Xcode5-style output will be shown, as in
(lldb) expr -O -- foo
{
1 = 2;
2 = 3;
}
- for a non-ObjectiveC object, LLDB will still try to retrieve a summary and/or value to display
(lldb) po 5
5
-v also works in this mode
(lldb) expr -O -vfull -- 5
(int) $4 = 5
On top of that, this is a major refactoring of the ValueObject printing code. The functionality is now factored into a ValueObjectPrinter class for easier maintenance in the future
DumpValueObject() was turned into an instance method ValueObject::Dump() which simply calls through to the printer code, Dump_Impl has been removed
Test case to follow
llvm-svn: 191694
ValueObjects themselves use DumpValueObjectOptions as the currency for the same purpose
The code to convert between these two units was replicated (to varying degrees of correctness) in several spots in the code
This checkin provides one and only one (and hopefully correct :-) entry point for this conversion
llvm-svn: 178044
Ensure that option -Y also works for expression as it does for frame variable
Also, if the user passes an explicit format specifier when printing a variable, override the summary's decision to hide the value.
This is required for scenarios like this to work:
(lldb) p/x c
(Class) $0 = 0x0000000100adb7f8 NSObject
Previously this would say:
(lldb) p/x c
(Class) $0 = NSObject
ignoring the explicit format specifier
llvm-svn: 177893
Providing a compact display mode for "po" to use where the convenience variable name and the pointer value are both hidden.
This is for convenience when dealing with ObjC instances where the description often gets it right and the debugger-provided information is not useful to most people.
If you need either of these, "expr" will still show them.
llvm-svn: 173748
Major fixed to allow reading files that are over 4GB. The main problems were that the DataExtractor was using 32 bit offsets as a data cursor, and since we mmap all of our object files we could run into cases where if we had a very large core file that was over 4GB, we were running into the 4GB boundary.
So I defined a new "lldb::offset_t" which should be used for all file offsets.
After making this change, I enabled warnings for data loss and for enexpected implicit conversions temporarily and found a ton of things that I fixed.
Any functions that take an index internally, should use "size_t" for any indexes and also should return "size_t" for any sizes of collections.
llvm-svn: 173463
controlled by the --unwind-on-error flag, and --ignore-breakpoint which separately controls behavior when a called
function hits a breakpoint. For breakpoints, we don't unwind, we either stop, or ignore the breakpoint, which makes
more sense.
Also make both these behaviors globally settable through "settings set".
Also handle the case where a breakpoint command calls code that ends up re-hitting the breakpoint. We were recursing
and crashing. Now we just stop without calling the second command.

Adding useful formatting options to the expression (expr) command.
As a side effect of this change, the -d option now supports the same three-values enumeration that frame variables uses (run, don't run, none) instead of a boolean like it did previously
These options do not apply to print, p or po because these are aliased to not take any options.
In order to use them, use expression or expr.

Now each command object contains a "ExecutionContext m_exe_ctx;" member variable that gets initialized prior to running the command. The validity of the target objects in m_exe_ctx are checked to ensure that any target/process/thread/frame/reg context that are required are valid prior to executing the command. Each command object also contains a Mutex::Locker m_api_locker which gets used if eFlagTryTargetAPILock is set. This centralizes a lot of checking code that was previously and inconsistently implemented across many commands.
llvm-svn: 171990
the option to print the runtime-specific description has been modified in the frame variable, memory read and expression command.
All three commands now support a --object-description option, with a shortcut of -O (uppercase letter o)
This is a breaking change:
frame variable used --objc as the long option name
expression used -o as a shortcut
memory read uses --objd as the long option name
Hopefully, most users won't be affected by the change since people tend to access "expression --object-description" under the alias "po" which still works
The test suite has been tweaked accordingly.
llvm-svn: 169961
- add new header lldb-python.h to be included before other system headers
- short term fix (eventually python dependencies must be cleaned up)
Patch by Matt Kopec!
llvm-svn: 169341
Cleaned up the option parsing code to always pass around the short options as integers. Previously we cast this down to "char" and lost some information. I recently added an assert that would detect duplicate short character options which was firing during the test suite.
This fix does the following:
- make sure all short options are treated as "int"
- make sure that short options can be non-printable values when a short option is not required or when an option group is mixed into many commands and a short option is not desired
- fix the help printing to "do the right thing" in all cases. Previously if there were duplicate short character options, it would just not emit help for the duplicates
- fix option parsing when there are duplicates to parse options correctly. Previously the option parsing, when done for an OptionGroup, would just start parsing options incorrectly by omitting table entries and it would end up setting the wrong option value
llvm-svn: 169189
the expression returns nothing. There is now a
setting, "notify-void." When the user enables
that setting, lldb prints (void) if an expression's
result is void. Otherwise, lldb is silent.

Execute which was never going to get run and another ExecuteRawCommandString. Took the knowledge of how
to prepare raw & parsed commands out of CommandInterpreter and put it in CommandObject where it belongs.
Also took all the cases where there were the subcommands of Multiword commands declared in the .h file for
the overall command and moved them into the .cpp file.
Made the CommandObject flags work for raw as well as parsed commands.
Made "expr" use the flags so that it requires you to be paused to run "expr".
llvm-svn: 158235
Changes to synthetic children:
- the update(self): function can now (optionally) return a value - if it returns boolean value True, ValueObjectSyntheticFilter will not clear its caches across stop-points
this should allow better performance for Python-based synthetic children when one can be sure that the child ValueObjects have not changed
- making a difference between a synthetic VO and a VO with a synthetic value: now a ValueObjectSyntheticFilter will not return itself as its own synthetic value, but will (correctly)
claim to itself be synthetic
- cleared up the internal synthetic children architecture to make a more consistent use of pointers and references instead of shared pointers when possible
- major cleanup of unnecessary #include, data and functions in ValueObjectSyntheticFilter itself
- removed the SyntheticValueType enum and replaced it with a plain boolean (to which it was equivalent in the first place)
Some clean ups to the summary generation code
Centralized the code that clears out user-visible strings and data in ValueObject
More efficient summaries for libc++ containers
llvm-svn: 153061
2) providing an updated list of tagged pointers values for the objc_runtime module - hopefully this one is final
3) changing ValueObject::DumpValueObject to use an Options class instead of providing a bulky list of parameters to pass around
this change had been laid out previously, but some clients of DumpValueObject() were still using the old prototype and some arguments
were treated in a special way and passed in directly instead of through the Options class
4) providing new GetSummaryAsCString() and GetValueAsCString() calls in ValueObject that are passed a formatter object and a destination string
and fill the string by formatting themselves using the formatter argument instead of the default for the current ValueObject
5) removing the option to have formats and summaries stick to a variable for the current stoppoint
after some debate, we are going with non-sticky: if you say frame variable --format hex foo, the hex format will only be applied to the current command execution and not stick when redisplaying foo
the other option would be full stickiness, which means that foo would be formatted as hex for its whole lifetime
we are open to suggestions on what feels "natural" in this regard

ExecutionContext objects have shared pointers to Target, Process, Thread
and Frame objects and they can end up being held onto for too long.
llvm-svn: 149133
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.
llvm-svn: 147099
in the same hashed format as the ".apple_names", but they map objective C
class names to all of the methods and class functions. We need to do this
because in the DWARF the methods for Objective C are never contained in the
class definition, they are scattered about at the translation unit level and
they don't even have attributes that say the are contained within the class
itself.
Added 3 new formats which can be used to display data:
eFormatAddressInfo
eFormatHexFloat
eFormatInstruction
eFormatAddressInfo describes an address such as function+offset and file+line,
or symbol + offset, or constant data (c string, 2, 4, 8, or 16 byte constants).
The format character for this is "A", the long format is "address".
eFormatHexFloat will print out the hex float format that compilers tend to use.
The format character for this is "X", the long format is "hex float".
eFormatInstruction will print out disassembly with bytes and it will use the
current target's architecture. The format character for this is "i" (which
used to be being used for the integer format, but the integer format also has
"d", so we gave the "i" format to disassembly), the long format is
"instruction".
Mate the lldb::FormatterChoiceCriterion enumeration private as it should have
been from the start. It is very specialized and doesn't belong in the public
API.
llvm-svn: 143114
lldb_private::Error objects the rules are:
- short strings that don't start with a capitol letter unless the name is a
class or anything else that is always capitolized
- no trailing newline character
- should be one line if possible
Implemented a first pass at adding "--gdb-format" support to anything that
accepts format with optional size/count.
llvm-svn: 142999
OptionGroupFormat. Updated OptionGroupFormat to be able to also use the
"--size" and "--count" options. Commands that use a OptionGroupFormat instance
can choose which of the options they want by initializing OptionGroupFormat
accordingly. Clients can either get only the "--format", "--format" + "--size",
or "--format" + "--size" + "--count". This is in preparation for upcoming
chnages where there are alternate ways (GDB format specification) to set a
format.
llvm-svn: 142911
shared pointers.
Changed the ExecutionContext over to use shared pointers for
the target, process, thread and frame since these objects can
easily go away at any time and any object that was holding onto
an ExecutionContext was running the risk of using a bad object.
Now that the shared pointers for target, process, thread and
frame are just a single pointer (they all use the instrusive
shared pointers) the execution context is much safer and still
the same size.
Made the shared pointers in the the ExecutionContext class protected
and made accessors for all of the various ways to get at the pointers,
references, and shared pointers.

to execute expressions even in the absence of a process.
This allows expressions to run in situations where the
target cannot run -- e.g., to perform calculations based
on type information, or to inspect a binary's static
data.
This modification touches the following files:
lldb-private-enumerations.h
Introduce a new enum specifying the policy for
processing an expression. Some expressions should
always be JITted, for example if they are functions
that will be used over and over again. Some
expressions should always be interpreted, for
example if the target is unsafe to run. For most,
it is acceptable to JIT them, but interpretation
is preferable when possible.
Target.[h,cpp]
Have EvaluateExpression now accept the new enum.
ClangExpressionDeclMap.[cpp,h]
Add support for the IR interpreter and also make
the ClangExpressionDeclMap more robust in the
absence of a process.
ClangFunction.[cpp,h]
Add support for the new enum.
IRInterpreter.[cpp,h]
New implementation.
ClangUserExpression.[cpp,h]
Add support for the new enum, and for running
expressions in the absence of a process.
ClangExpression.h
Remove references to the old DWARF-based method
of evaluating expressions, because it has been
superseded for now.
ClangUtilityFunction.[cpp,h]
Add support for the new enum.
ClangExpressionParser.[cpp,h]
Add support for the new enum, remove references
to DWARF, and add support for checking whether
the expression could be evaluated statically.
IRForTarget.[h,cpp]
Add support for the new enum, and add utility
functions to support the interpreter.
IRToDWARF.cpp
Removed
CommandObjectExpression.cpp
Remove references to the obsolete -i option.
Process.cpp
Modify calls to ClangUserExpression::Evaluate
to pass the correct enum (for dlopen/dlclose)
SBValue.cpp
Add support for the new enum.
SBFrame.cpp
Add support for he new enum.
BreakpointOptions.cpp
Add support for the new enum.

- 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
