Introduce a new boolean setting enable-auto-oneliner
This setting if set to false will force LLDB to not use the new compact one-line display
By default, one-line mode stays on, at least until we can be confident it works.
But now if it seriously impedes your workflow while it evolves/it works wonders but you still hate it, there's a way to turn it off

Added a new key that we understand for the "qHostInfo" packet: "default_packet_timeout:T;" where T is a default packet timeout in seconds.
This allows GDB servers with known slow packet response times to increase the default timeout to a value that makes sense for the connection.

Some versions of the GNU MIPS toolchain generate 64-Bit DWARF (even though
it isn't really necessary). This change adds support for the 64-Bit DWARF
format, but is not actually tested with >4GB of debug data.
Similar changes are in progress for llvm's version of DWARFDebugLine, in
review D1988.

This check was overly strict. Relax it.
While one could conceivably want nested one-lining:
(Foo) aFoo = (x = 1, y = (t = 3, q = “Hello), z = 3.14)
the spirit of this feature is mostly to make *SMALL LINEAR* structs come out more compact.
Aggregates with children and no summary for now just disable the one-lining. Define a one-liner summary to override :)

Fixed an issue with reexported symbols on MacOSX by adding support for symbols re-exporting symbols. There is now a new symbol type eSymbolTypeReExported which contains a new name for the re-exported symbol and the new shared library. These symbols are only used when a symbol is re-exported as a symbol under a different name.
Modified the expression parser to be able to deal with finding the re-exported symbols and track down the actual symbol it refers to.

Removing Host/Atomic.h
This header file was not being copied as part of our public API headers and this in turn was causing any plugin to link against LLDB.framework, since SharingPtr.h depends on it
Out of several possible options to fix this issue, the cleanest one is to revert LLDB to use std::atomic<>, as we are a C++11 project and should take advantage of it
The original rationale for going from std::atomic to Host/Atomic.h was that MSVC++ fails to link in CLR mode when std::atomic is used
This is a very Visual Studio/.net specific issue, which hopefully will be fixed
Until them, to allow Windows development to proceed, we are going with a targeted solution where we #ifdef include the Windows specific calls, and let everyone else use the
proper atomic support, as should be
If there is an unavoidable need for a LLDB-specific atomic header, the right way to go at it would be to make an API/lldb-atomic.h header and #ifdef the Windows dependency there
The FormatManager should not need to conditionalize use of std::atomic<>, as other parts of the LLDB internals are successfully using atomic (Address and IRExecutionUnit), so this
Win-specific hack is limited to SharingPtr

This commit adds an example python file that can be used with 'target-definition-file' setting for Linux gdbserver.
This file has an extra key 'breakpoint-pc-offset' that LLDB uses to determine how much to change the PC
after hitting the breakpoint.

queue name out of ProcessGDBRemote and in to the Platform
plugin, specifically PlatformDarwin.
Also add a Platform method to translate a dispatch_quaddr
to a QueueID, and a Thread::GetQueueID().
I'll add an SBThread::GetQueueID() next.

::Fork already does this internally, so this was simply leaking file handles.
This fixes the problem where the test suite would occasionally run out of file handles.
llvm-svn: 192929
To make this work this patch extends LLDB to:
- Explicitly track the link_map address for each module. This is effectively the module handle, not sure why it wasn't already being stored off anywhere. As an extension later, it would be nice if someone were to add support for printing this as part of the modules list.
- Allow reading the per-thread data pointer via ptrace. I have added support for Linux here. I'll be happy to add support for FreeBSD once this is reviewed. OS X does not appear to have __thread variables, so maybe we don't need it there. Windows support should eventually be workable along the same lines.
- Make DWARF expressions track which module they originated from.
- Add support for the DW_OP_GNU_push_tls_address DWARF opcode, as generated by gcc and recent versions of clang. Earlier versions of clang (such as 3.2, which is default on Ubuntu right now) do not generate TLS debug info correctly so can not be supported here.
- Understand the format of the pthread DTV block. This is where it gets tricky. We have three basic options here:
1) Call "dlinfo" or "__tls_get_addr" on the inferior and ask it directly. However this won't work on core dumps, and generally speaking it's not a good idea for the debugger to call functions itself, as it has the potential to not work depending on the state of the target.
2) Use libthread_db. This is what GDB does. However this option requires having a version of libthread_db on the host cross-compiled for each potential target. This places a large burden on the user, and would make it very hard to cross-debug from Windows to Linux, for example. Trying to build a library intended exclusively for one OS on a different one is not pleasant. GDB sidesteps the problem and asks the user to figure it out.
3) Parse the DTV structure ourselves. On initial inspection this seems to be a bad option, as the DTV structure (the format used by the runtime to manage TLS data) is not in fact a kernel data structure, it is implemented entirely in useerland in libc. Therefore the layout of it's fields are version and OS dependent, and are not standardized.
However, it turns out not to be such a problem. All OSes use basically the same algorithm (a per-module lookup table) as detailed in Ulrich Drepper's TLS ELF ABI document, so we can easily write code to decode it ourselves. The only question therefore is the exact field layouts required. Happily, the implementors of libpthread expose the structure of the DTV via metadata exported as symbols from the .so itself, designed exactly for this kind of thing. So this patch simply reads that metadata in, and re-implements libthread_db's algorithm itself. We thereby get cross-platform TLS lookup without either requiring third-party libraries, while still being independent of the version of libpthread being used.
Test case included.

- Made the dynamic register context for the GDB remote plug-in inherit from the generic DynamicRegisterInfo to avoid code duplication
- Finished up the target definition python setting stuff.
- Added a new "slice" key/value pair that can specify that a register is part of another register:
{ 'name':'eax', 'set':0, 'bitsize':32, 'encoding':eEncodingUint, 'format':eFormatHex, 'slice': 'rax[31:0]' },
- Added a new "composite" key/value pair that can specify that a register is made up of two or more registers:
{ 'name':'d0', 'set':0, 'bitsize':64 , 'encoding':eEncodingIEEE754, 'format':eFormatFloat, 'composite': ['s1', 's0'] },
- Added a new "invalidate-regs" key/value pair for when a register is modified, it can invalidate other registers:
{ 'name':'cpsr', 'set':0, 'bitsize':32 , 'encoding':eEncodingUint, 'format':eFormatHex, 'invalidate-regs': ['r8', 'r9', 'r10', 'r11', 'r12', 'r13', 'r14', 'r15']},
This now completes the feature that allows a GDB remote target to completely describe itself.

Extend DummySyntheticProvider to actually use debug-info vended children as the source of information
Make Python synthetic children either be valid, or fallback to the dummy, like their C++ counterparts
This allows LLDB to actually stop bailing out upon encountering an invalid synthetic children provider front-end, and still displaying the non synthetized ivar info

When debugging with the GDB remote in LLDB, LLDB uses special packets to discover the
registers on the remote server. When those packets aren't supported, LLDB doesn't
know what the registers look like. This checkin implements a setting that can be used
to specify a python file that contains the registers definitions. The setting is:
(lldb) settings set plugin.process.gdb-remote.target-definition-file /path/to/module.py
Inside module there should be a function:
def get_dynamic_setting(target, setting_name):
This dynamic setting function is handed the "target" which is a SBTarget, and the
"setting_name", which is the name of the dynamic setting to retrieve. For the GDB
remote target definition the setting name is 'gdb-server-target-definition'. The
return value is a dictionary that follows the same format as the OperatingSystem
plugins follow. I have checked in an example file that implements the x86_64 GDB
register set for people to see:
examples/python/x86_64_target_definition.py
This allows LLDB to debug to any archticture that is support and allows users to
define the registers contexts when the discovery packets (qRegisterInfo, qHostInfo)
are not supported by the remote GDB server.
A few benefits of doing this in Python:
1 - The dynamic register context was already supported in the OperatingSystem plug-in
2 - Register contexts can use all of the LLDB enumerations and definitions for things
like lldb::Format, lldb::Encoding, generic register numbers, invalid registers
numbers, etc.
3 - The code that generates the register context can use the program to calculate the
register context contents (like offsets, register numbers, and more)
4 - True dynamic detection could be used where variables and types could be read from
the target program itself in order to determine which registers are available since
the target is passed into the python function.
This is designed to be used instead of XML since it is more dynamic and code flow and
functions can be used to make the dictionary.

This is implemented by means of a get_dynamic_setting(target, setting_name) function vended by the Python module, which can respond to arbitrary string names with dynamically constructed
settings objects (most likely, some of those that PythonDataObjects supports) for LLDB to parse
This needs to be hooked up to the debugger via some setting to allow users to specify which module will vend the information they want to supply
