Dave Lee 6e450d1347 [lldb] Use SWIG_fail in python-typemaps.swig (NFC)
When attempting to use SWIG's `-builtin` flag, there were a few compile
failures caused by a mismatch between return type and return value. In those
cases, the return type was `int` but many of the type maps assume returning
`NULL`/`nullptr` (only the latter caused compile failures).

This fix abstracts failure paths to use the `SWIG_fail` macro, which performs
`goto fail;`. Each of the generated functions contain a `fail` label, which
performs any resource cleanup and returns the appropriate failure value.

This change isn't strictly necessary at this point, but seems like the right
thing to do, and for anyone who tries `-builtin` later, it resolves those
issues.

Jorge Gorbe Moya ef3fa232b3 [Formatters][NFCI] Replace 'is_regex' arguments with an enum.
Modify `SBTypeNameSpecifier` and `lldb_private::TypeMatcher` so they
have an enum value for the type of matching to perform instead of an
`m_is_regex` boolean value.

This change paves the way for introducing formatter matching based on
the result of a python callback in addition to the existing name-based
matching. See the RFC thread at
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-python-callback-for-data-formatters-type-matching/64204

[lldb] Fixed a number of typos
I went over the output of the following mess of a command:

and proceeded to spend a few days looking at it to find probable typos
and fixed a few hundred of them in all of the llvm project (note, the
ones I found are not anywhere near all of them, but it seems like a
good start).

Greg Clayton 4763200ec9 Add the ability to show when variables fails to be available when debug info is valid.
Summary:
Many times when debugging variables might not be available even though a user can successfully set breakpoints and stops somewhere. Letting the user know will help users fix these kinds of issues and have a better debugging experience.

Examples of this include:
- enabling -gline-tables-only and being able to set file and line breakpoints and yet see no variables
- unable to open object file for DWARF in .o file debugging for darwin targets due to modification time mismatch or not being able to locate the N_OSO file.

This patch adds an new API to SBValueList:

  lldb::SBError lldb::SBValueList::GetError();

object so that if you request a stack frame's variables using SBValueList SBFrame::GetVariables(...), you can get an error the describes why the variables were not available.

This patch adds the ability to get an error back when requesting variables from a lldb_private::StackFrame when calling GetVariableList.

It also now shows an error in response to "frame variable" if we have debug info and are unable to get varialbes due to an error as mentioned above:

(lldb) frame variable
error: "a.o" object from the "/tmp/libfoo.a" archive: either the .o file doesn't exist in the archive or the modification time (0x63111541) of the .o file doesn't match

Dave Lee 75f05fccbb [lldb][bindings] Fix module_access handling of regex
Fixes broken support for: `target.module[re.compile("libFoo")]`

There were two issues:
1. The type check was expecting `re.SRE_Pattern`
2. The expression to search the module path had a typo

In the first case, `re.SRE_Pattern` does not exist in Python 3, and is replaced
with `re.Pattern`.

While editing this code, I changed the type checks to us `isinstance`, which is
the conventional way of type checking.

From the docs on `type()`:

> The `isinstance()` built-in function is recommended for testing the type of an object, because it takes subclasses into account.

Greg Clayton f0697d7c3f Don't create sections for SHN_ABS symbols in ELF files.
Symbols that have the section index of SHN_ABS were previously creating extra top level sections that contained the value of the symbol as if the symbol's value was an address. As far as I can tell, these symbol's values are not addresses, even if they do have a size. To make matters worse, adding these extra sections can stop address lookups from succeeding if the symbol's value + size overlaps with an existing section as these sections get mapped into memory when the image is loaded by the dynamic loader. This can cause stack frames to appear empty as the address lookup fails completely.

This patch:
- doesn't create a section for any SHN_ABS symbols
- makes symbols that are absolute have values that are not addresses
- add accessors to SBSymbol to get the value and size of a symbol as raw integers. Prevoiusly there was no way to access a symbol's value from a SBSymbol because the only accessors were:

  SBAddress SBSymbol::GetStartAddress();
  SBAddress SBSymbol::GetEndAddress();

  and these accessors would return an invalid SBAddress if the symbol's value wasn't an address
- Adds a test to ensure no ".absolute.<symbol-name>" sections are created
- Adds a test to test the new SBSymbol APIs

Dave Lee c7a56af307 [lldb][bindings] Implement __repr__ instead of __str__
When using the `script` Python repl, SB objects are printed in a way that gives
the user no information. The simplest example is:

```
(lldb) script lldb.debugger
<lldb.SBDebugger; proxy of <Swig Object of type 'lldb::SBDebugger *' at 0x1097a5de0> >
```

This output comes from the Python repl printing the `repr()` of an object.

None of the SB classes implement `__repr__`, and all print like the above.
However, many (most?, all?) SB classes implement `__str__`. Because they
implement `__str__`, a more detailed output can be had by `print`ing the
object, for example:

```
(lldb) script print(lldb.debugger)
Debugger (instance: "debugger_1", id: 1)
```

For convenience, this change switches all SB classes that implement to
`__str__` to instead implement `__repr__`. **The result is that `str()` and
`repr()` will produce the same output**. This is because `str` calls `__repr__`
for classes that have  no `__str__` method.

The benefit being that when writing a `script` invocation, you don't need to
remember to wrap in `print()`. If that isn't enough motivation, consider the
case where your Python expression results in a list of SB objects, in that case
you'd have to `map` or use a list comprehension like `[str(x) for x in <expr>]`
in order to see the details of the objects in the list.

For reference, the docs for `repr` say:

> repr(object)
>   Return a string containing a printable representation of an object. For
>   many types, this function makes an attempt to return a string that would
>   yield an object with the same value when passed to eval(); otherwise, the
>   representation is a string enclosed in angle brackets that contains the
>   name of the type of the object together with additional information often
>   including the name and address of the object. A class can control what this
>   function returns for its instances by defining a __repr__() method.

and the docs for `__repr__` say:

> object.__repr__(self)
>   Called by the repr() built-in function to compute the “official” string
>   representation of an object. If at all possible, this should look like a
>   valid Python expression that could be used to recreate an object with the
>   same value (given an appropriate environment). If this is not possible, a
>   string of the form <...some useful description...> should be returned. The
>   return value must be a string object. If a class defines __repr__() but not
>   __str__(), then __repr__() is also used when an “informal” string
>   representation of instances of that class is required.
>
>   This is typically used for debugging, so it is important that the
>   representation is information-rich and unambiguous.

Even if it were convenient to construct Python expressions for SB classes so
that they could be `eval`'d, however for typical lldb usage, I can't think of a
motivating reason to do so. As it stands, the only action the docs say to do,
that this change doesn't do, is wrap the `repr` string in `<>` angle brackets.

An alternative implementation is to change lldb's python repl to apply `str()`
to the top level result. While this would work well in the case of a single SB
object, it doesn't work for a list of SB objects, since `str([x])` uses `repr`
to convert each list element to a string.

(Event objects are mostly prepared for it, CommandReturnObject are not).
Doing so seems unnecessarily disruptive, given that (unlike for some of
the other objects) I don't see any good reason why would someone want to
hold onto these objects after the function terminates.

For that reason, this patch implements a different approach -- the SB
objects will still hold non-owning pointers, but they will be reset to
the empty/default state as soon as the function terminates. This python
code will not crash if the user decides to store these objects -- but
the objects themselves will be useless/empty.

Pavel Labath 7406d236d8 [lldb/python] Fix (some) dangling pointers in our glue code
This starts to fix the other half of the lifetime problems in this code
-- dangling references. SB objects created on the stack will go away
when the function returns, which is a problem if the python code they
were meant for stashes a reference to them somewhere.  Most of the time
this goes by unnoticed, as the code rarely has a reason to store these,
but in case it does, we shouldn't respond by crashing.

This patch fixes the management for a couple of SB objects (Debugger,
Frame, Thread). The SB objects are now created on the heap, and
their ownership is immediately passed on to SWIG, which will ensure they
are destroyed when the last python reference goes away. I will handle
the other objects in separate patches.

I include one test which demonstrates the lifetime issue for SBDebugger.
Strictly speaking, one should create a test case for each of these
objects and each of the contexts they are being used. That would require
figuring out how to persist (and later access) each of these objects.
Some of those may involve a lot of hoop-jumping (we can run python code
from within a frame-format string). I don't think that is
necessary/worth it since the new wrapper functions make it very hard to
get this wrong.

Pavel Labath 9d5e37ed8c [lldb] (Semi-automatically) format .swig files
I've found my recent ventures into the swig land painful because
of the strange way they are formatted. This patch attempts to alleviate
future headaches by formatting these files into something resembling the
normal llvm style.

Unfortunately, completely formatting these files automatically does not
work because clang format gets confused by swigs % syntax, so I have
employed a hybrid approach where I formatted blocks of c++ code with
clang-format and then manually massaged the code until it looked
reasonable (and compiled).

I don't expect these files to remain perfectly formatted (although, if
one's editor is configured to configure the current line/block on
request, one can get pretty good results by using it judiciously), but
at least it will prevent the (mangled form of the) old lldb style being
proliferated endlessly.

Pavel Labath 82de8df26f [lldb] Clarify StructuredDataImpl ownership
StructuredDataImpl ownership semantics is unclear at best. Various
structures were holding a non-owning pointer to it, with a comment that
the object is owned somewhere else. From what I was able to gather that
"somewhere else" was the SBStructuredData object, but I am not sure that
all created object eventually made its way there. (It wouldn't matter
even if they did, as we are leaking most of our SBStructuredData
objects.)

Since StructuredDataImpl is just a collection of two (shared) pointers,
there's really no point in elaborate lifetime management, so this patch
replaces all StructuredDataImpl pointers with actual objects or
unique_ptrs to it. This makes it much easier to resolve SBStructuredData
leaks in a follow-up patch.

Med Ismail Bennani 72e25978f9 [lldb/API] Add SetDataWithOwnership method to SBData
This patch introduces a new method to SBData: SetDataWithOwnership.

Instead of referencing the pointer to the data, this method copies the
data buffer into lldb's heap memory.

This can prevent having the underlying DataExtractor object point to
freed/garbage-collected memory.
