Johnny Chen a9e77784e0 Move some print stmts to the test method, where they get printed only if the test is qualified to run
under the current test driver run configuration.

Johnny Chen 1669f67776 Modified the script to have the flexibility of specifying the gdb executable path
for use in the benchmark against lldb's disassembly speed.  Note that the lldb
executable path can already be specified using the LLDB_EXEC env variable.

Johnny Chen c2d6974702 This benchmark is meant to run the locally built 'lldb' binary, not the binary on the PATH env variable.

Johnny Chen 66d362e9bf Establish a baseline for bench.py score by using a fixed lldb executable as the
inferior program for the lldb debugger to operate on.  The fixed lldb executable
corresponds to r142902.

Plus some minor modifications to the test benchmark to conform to way bench.py
is meant to be invoked.

Johnny Chen 6e5b330fb4 Add another metric for startup delay -- run to breakpoint, which measures the time from issuing
the run command till the first breakpoint hit.  Example:

 $ ./dotest.py -v +b -n -x '-F Driver::MainLoop()' -p TestStartupDelays.py

Johnny Chen 2a80858903 Modify lldbtest.Base.runHooks() to now take the following keyword arguments:
child=None, child_prompt=None, use_cmd_api=False

By default, expect a pexpect spawned child and child prompt to be
supplied (use_cmd_api=False).  If use_cmd_api is true, ignore the child
and child prompt and use self.runCmd() to run the hooks one by one.

Modify existing client to reflect the change.

Johnny Chen 8a7f3f5bac Add a more generic stepping benchmark, which uses the '-k' option of the test driver
to be able to specify the runhook(s) to bring the debug session to a certain state
before running the benchmarking logic.  An example,

./dotest.py -v -t +b -k 'process attach -n Mail' -k 'thread backtrace all' -p TestRunHooksThenSteppings.py

spawns lldb, attaches to the 'Mail' application, does a backtrace for all threads, and then
runs the benchmark to step the inferior multiple times.

Johnny Chen a10e6c1052 Add '-e' and '-x' options to the test driver to be able to specify an executable (full path)
and the breakpoint specification for the benchmark purpose.  This is used by TestSteppingSpeed.py
to benchmark the lldb stepping speed.  Without '-e' and 'x' specified, the test defaults to
run the built lldb against itself and stopped on Driver::MainLoop, then stepping for 50 times.

Johnny Chen ebe51726b8 If we spawn an lldb process for test (via pexpect), do not load the init file unless told otherwise.
Set up self.lldbOption to be "--no-lldbibit" unless env variable NO_LLDBIBIT is defined and equals "NO".
Also add "-nx" to gdb spawned.

Johnny Chen d890bfc962 Add a new attribute self.lldbHere, representing the fullpath to the 'lldb' executable
built locally from the source tree.  This is distinguished from self.lldbExec, which
can be used by test/benchmarks to measure the performances against other debuggers.

You can use environment variable LLDB_EXEC to specify self.lldbExec to the dotest.py
test driver, otherwise it is going to be populated with self.lldbHere.

Modify the regular tests under test dir, i.e., not test/benchmarks, to use self.lldbHere.
Also modify the benchmarks tests to use self.lldbHere when it needs an 'lldb' executable
with debug info to do the performance measurements.

Johnny Chen 250a501702 Check in a customized benchmark which compares the Xcode 4.1 vs. Xcode 4.2's gdb disassembly speed
on lldb's Driver::MainLoop function which is ~1190 lines of x86 assembly code.  This file is not
exercised during the normal test suite run, i.e., no +b option specified.  So it should be ok.

The following is the benchmark result on my MBP running OSX Lion:

Johnny Chen aaa82ff9ad Add the real benchmarks comparing lldb against gdb for repeated expression evaluations.
Modify lldbbench.py so that lldbtest.line_number() utility function is available to
BenchBase client as just line_number(), and modify lldbtest.py so that self.lldbExec
(the full path for the 'lldb' executable) is available to BenchBase client as well.

modified later on to actually measure repeated expression evaluations within the
context of lldb as well as gdb.

By default, tests decorated with the @benchmarks_test decorator do not get run.

Add an example benchmarks test directory which contains nothing for the time being,
just to demonstrate the @benchmarks_test concept.

$ ./dotest.py -v benchmarks
