plug-ins are add on plug-ins for the lldb_private::Process class that can add
thread contexts that are read from memory. It is common in kernels to have
a lot of threads that are not currently executing on any cores (JTAG debugging
also follows this sort of thing) and are context switched out whose state is
stored in memory data structures. Clients can now subclass the OperatingSystem
plug-ins and then make sure their Create functions correcltly only enable
themselves when the right binary/target triple are being debugged. The
operating system plug-ins get a chance to attach themselves to processes just
after launching or attaching and are given a lldb_private::Process object
pointer which can be inspected to see if the main executable, target triple,
or any shared libraries match a case where the OS plug-in should be used.
Currently the OS plug-ins can create new threads, define the register contexts
for these threads (which can all be different if desired), and populate and
manage the thread info (stop reason, registers in the register context) as
the debug session goes on.

e.g. you may get "foo_class @ 0x123456" when typing "type summary add -f ${var} foo_class"
- Added a new special formatting token %T for summaries. This shows the type of the object.
Using it, the new "type @ location" summary could be manually generated by writing ${var%T} @ ${var%L}
- Bits and pieces required to support "frame variable array[n-m]"
The feature is not enabled yet because some additional design and support code is required, but the basics
are getting there
- Fixed a potential issue where a ValueObjectSyntheticFilter was not holding on to its SyntheticChildrenSP
Because of the way VOSF are being built now, this has never been an actual issue, but it is still sensible for
a VOSF to hold on to the SyntheticChildrenSP as well as to its FrontEnd

and to invoke lldb-disasm.py on the binary file to disassemble its symbols. The number of symbols can
be specified by, for example, '-n 10000', to specify 10,000 symbols to disassemble for each module.
By default, only 1000 symbols from each module are disassembled.
Example:
utils/test/run-dis.py -r '/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/4.3/Symbols' -p '^/System/Library/.*Frameworks/.*\.framework/[^/]+$'
tries to disassemble every public/private frameworks (by default only 1000 symbols are disassembled) under iOS4.3.

revision and adding a patch that fixes an AsmParser
crash on ARM.
One feature that we unfortunately lost (for the
moment!) is the ability to cast unknown code symbols
to arbitrary function types and put the resulting
function pointer in a result variable. This feature
will be back, though.
llvm-svn: 138036
- reorganizing the PTS (Partial Template Specializations) in FormatManager.h
- applied a patch by Filipe Cabecinhas to make LLDB compile with GCC
Functional changes:
- fixed an issue where command type summary add for type "struct Foo" would not match any types.
currently, "struct" will be stripped off and type "Foo" will be matched.
similar behavior occurs for class, enum and union specifiers.

test cases in TestThreadAPI.py by decorating it with @expectedFailureClang.
Example:
@expectedFailureClang
@python_api_test
def test_step_over_3_times_with_dwarf(self):
"""Test Python SBThread.StepOver() API."""
# We build a different executable than the default buildDwarf() does.
d = {'CXX_SOURCES': 'main2.cpp', 'EXE': self.exe_name}
self.buildDwarf(dictionary=d)
self.setTearDownCleanup(dictionary=d)
self.step_over_3_times(self.exe_name)

This could be useful by reducing the strain on standard output.

LLVM to pull in the older ARM disassembler. I
also modified our build scripts to support
building LLVM from one SVN revision and Clang
from another.
These are temporary measures; as soon as we
get some solid testing in with the new ARM
disassembler, we plan to switch right back.

- reorganizing classes layout to have public part first
Typedefs that we want to keep private, but must be defined for some public code to work correctly are an exception
- avoiding methods in the form T foo() { code; } all on one-line
- moving method implementations from .h to .cpp whenever feasible
Templatized code is an exception and so are very small methods
- generally, adhering to coding conventions followed project-wide
Functional changes:
- fixed an issue where using ${var} in a summary for an aggregate, and then displaying a pointer-to-aggregate would lead to no summary being displayed
The issue was not a major one because all ${var} was meant to do in that context was display an error for invalid use of pointer
Accordingly fixed test cases and added a new test case
llvm-svn: 137944
- all instances of "vobj" have been renamed to "valobj"
- class Debugger::Formatting has been renamed to DataVisualization (defined in FormatManager.h/cpp)
The interface to this class has not changed
- FormatCategory now uses ConstString's as keys to the navigators instead of repeatedly casting
from ConstString to const char* and back all the time
Next step is making the same happen for categories themselves
- category gnu-libstdc++ is defined in the constructor for a FormatManager
The source code for it is defined in gnu_libstdcpp.py, drawn from examples/synthetic at compile time
All references to previous 'osxcpp' name have been removed from both code and file names
Functional changes:
- the name of the option to use a summary string for 'type summary add' has changed from the previous --format-string
to the new --summary-string. It is expected that the short option will change from -f to -s, and -s for --python-script
will become -o
llvm-svn: 137886
The category is enabled by default. If you run into issues with it, disable it and the previous behavior of LLDB is restored
** This is a temporary solution. The general solution to having formatters pulled in at startup should involve going through the Platform.
Fixed an issue in type synthetic list where a category with synthetic providers in it was not shown if all the providers were regex-based
llvm-svn: 137850
If no docstring is provided, a default help text is created
LLDB will refuse to create scripted commands if the scripting language is anything but Python
Some additional comments in AppleObjCRuntimeV2.cpp to describe the memory layout expected by the dynamic type lookup code

- They now have an SBCommandReturnObject instead of an SBStream as third argument
- The class CommandObjectPythonFunction has been merged into CommandObjectCommands.cpp
- The command to manage them is now:
command script with subcommands add, list, delete, clear
command alias is returned to its previous functionality
- Python commands are now part of an user dictionary, instead of being seen as aliases

C++ methods for a function depending on how the DWARF was
created. Now we parse the class type from the definition,
and all methods that use DW_AT_specification or DW_AT_abstract_origin
attributes to point to the definition, now won't create
duplicate entries. This is in response to how clang++ creates
much different DWARF than gcc.

being searched for in too heavyweight a way. Now,
when asking for the address of a function, the
expression parser just asks for a corresponding
data symbol.

It is now possible to use 'command alias --python' to define a command name that actually triggers execution of a Python function
(e.g. command alias --python foo foo_impl makes a command named 'foo' that runs Python function 'foo_impl')
The Python function foo_impl should have as signature: def foo_impl(debugger, args, stream, dict): where
debugger is an object wrapping an LLDB SBDebugger
args is the command line arguments, as an unparsed Python string
stream is an SBStream that represents the standard output
dict is an internal utility parameter and should be left untouched
The function should return None on no error, or an error string to describe any problems

For the default case (illegal encoding type), just return false instead of break.

any integers that are larger than a 8 bytes. We can now
display signed decimal, unsigned decimal, octal, and binary
(we could already view hex before this fix).
llvm-svn: 137602
Also change the SourceInitFile to look for .lldb-<APPNAME> and source that
preferentially if it exists.
Also made the breakpoint site report its address as well as its breakpoint number
when it gets hit and can't find any the associated locations (usually because the
breakpoint got disabled or deleted programmatically between the time it was hit
and reported.)
Changed ThreadPlanCallFunction to initialize the ivar m_func in the initializers of the
constructor, rather than waiting to initialize till later on in the function.
Fixed a bug where if you make an SBError and the ask it Success, it returns false.
Fixed ValueObject::ResolveValue so that it resolves a temporary value, rather than
overwriting the one in the value object.

cause extra shared pointer references to one or more modules to be leaked.
This would cause many object files to stay around the life of LLDB, so after
a recompile and rexecution, we would keep adding more and more memory. After
fixing the leak, we found many cases where leaked stack frames were still
being used and causing crashes in the test suite. These are now all resolved.
llvm-svn: 137516
First, main.c causes a crash, the inferior then gets re-built with main2.c which is not crashing.
Add Base.cleanup(self, dictionary=None) for platform specfic way to do cleanup after build.
This plugin method is used by the above test case to cleanup the main.c build before rebuild for main2.c.

The converse is also true: an error is shown when the user tries to add a synthetic provider to a category that already has a filter for the same type
llvm-svn: 137493
was failing if the DWARF was laid out in a certain way. The way
we detect C++ classes is now more robust so that a class method
can be defined outside of the class and refer to a definition inside
the class with a DW_AT_specification or DW_AT_abstract_origin attribute.
Fixed a case in Thread.cpp where we were looking up info in the frame
when we didn't need to. This was from some changes to support external
editors. Now the info is only looked up if needed.
llvm-svn: 137436
If the IOChannel has already freed out its m_driver member, and
there's still a character to be read/written (that is, the ^D
character), just skip that char instead of trying to write through
a null object pointer.

*New setting target.max-children-count gives an upper-bound to the number of child objects that will be displayed at each depth-level
This might be a breaking change in some scenarios. To override the new limit you can use the --show-all-children (-A) option
to frame variable or increase the limit in your lldbinit file
*Command "type synthetic" has been split in two:
- "type synthetic" now only handles Python synthetic children providers
- the new command "type filter" handles filters
Because filters and synthetic providers are both ways to replace the children of a ValueObject, only one can be effective at any given time.
