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.

symbols correctly. There were a couple of pieces to this.
1) When a breakpoint location finds itself pointing to an Indirect symbol, when the site for it is created
it needs to resolve the symbol and actually set the site at its target.
2) Not all breakpoints want to do this (i.e. a straight address breakpoint should always set itself on the
specified address, so somem machinery was needed to specify that.
3) I added some info to the break list output for indirect symbols so you could see what was happening.
Also I made it clear when we re-route through re-exported symbols.
4) I moved ResolveIndirectFunction from ProcessPosix to Process since it works the exact same way on Mac OS X
and the other posix systems. If we find a platform that doesn't do it this way, they can override the
call in Process.
5) Fixed one bug in RunThreadPlan, if you were trying to run a thread plan after a "running" event had
been broadcast, the event coalescing would cause you to miss the ThreadPlan running event. So I added
a way to override the coalescing.
6) Made DynamicLoaderMacOSXDYLD::GetStepThroughTrampolinePlan handle Indirect & Re-exported symbols.

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:

Fixed the test case for "test/functionalities/exec/TestExec.py" on Darwin.
The issue was breakpoints were persisting and causing problems. When we exec, we need to clear out the process and target and start fresh with nothing and let the breakpoints populate themselves again. This patch correctly clears out the breakpoints and also flushes the process so that the objects (process/thread/frame) give out valid information.

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.

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.

Added a way to set hardware breakpoints from the "breakpoint set" command with the new "--hardware" option. Hardware breakpoints are not a request, they currently are a requirement. So when breakpoints are specified as hardware breakpoints, they might fail to be set when they are able to be resolved and should be used sparingly. This is currently hooked up for GDB remote debugging.
Linux and FreeBSD should quickly enable this feature if possible, or return an error for any breakpoints that are hardware breakpoint sites in the "virtual Error Process::EnableBreakpointSite (BreakpointSite *bp_site);" function.

that /bin/sh re-exec's itself to /bin/bash, so it needs one more resume when you
are using it as the shell than /bin/bash did or you will stop at the start of your
program, rather than running it.
So I added a Platform API to get the number of resumes needed when launching with
a particular shell, and set the right values for Mac OS X.

- this fix ensures the ThreadList mutex is always locked before the StackFrameList mutex
Situation where deadlock could occur (without this fix):
Thread 1 is in Process::WillResume and locks the ThreadList mutex (on entry), and subsequently calls StackFrameList::Clear() which locks the StackFrameList mutex.
Meanwhile, thread 2 is in Process::RunThreadPlan and calls Thread::SetSelectedFrame() (which locks the StackFrameList mutex) before calling GetSelectedThread (which attempts to lock the ThreadList mutex)
In my testing on both Linux and Mac OS X, I was unable to reproduce any hangs with this patch applied.

LLDB requires that the inferior process be stopped before, and remain
stopped during, certain accesses to process state.
Previously this was achieved with a POSIX rwlock which had a write lock
taken for the duration that the process was running, and released when
the process was stopped. Any access to process state was performed with
a read lock held.
However, POSIX requires that pthread_rwlock_unlock() be called from the
same thread as pthread_rwlock_wrlock(), and lldb needs to stop and start
the process from different threads. Violating this constraint is
technically undefined behaviour, although as it happens Linux and Darwin
result in the unlock proceeding in this case. FreeBSD follows POSIX
more strictly, and the unlock would fail, resulting in a hang later upon
the next attempt to take the lock.
All read lock consumers use ReadTryLock() and handle failure to obtain
the lock (typically by logging an error "process is running"). Thus,
instead of using the lock state itself to track the running state, this
change adds an explicit m_running flag. ReadTryLock tests the flag, and
if the process is not running it returns with the read lock held.
WriteLock and WriteTryLock are renamed to SetRunning and TrySetRunning,
and (if successful) they set m_running with the lock held. This way,
read consumers can determine if the process is running and act
appropriately, and write consumers are still held off from starting the
process if read consumers are active.
Note that with this change there are still some curious access patterns,
such as calling WriteUnlock / SetStopped twice in a row, and there's no
protection from multiple threads trying to simultaneously start the
process. In practice this does not seem to be a problem, and was
exposing other undefined POSIX behaviour prior to this change.

bother checking if a region is safe to use. In
cases where regions need to be synthesized rather
than properly allocated, the memory reads required
to determine whether the area is used are
- insufficient, because intermediate locations
could be in use, and
- unsafe, because on some platforms reading from
memory can trigger events.
All this only makes a difference on platforms
where memory allocation in the target is impossible.
Behavior on platforms where it is possible should
stay the same.

325,000 breakpoints for running "breakpoint set --func-regex ." on lldb itself (after hitting a breakpoint at main so that LLDB.framework is loaded) used to take up to an hour to set, now we are down under a minute. With warm file caches, we are at 40 seconds, and that is with setting 325,000 breakpoint through the GDB remote API. Linux and the native debuggers might be faster. I haven't timed what how much is debug info parsing and how much is the protocol traffic to/from GDB remote.
That there were many performance issues. Most of them were due to storing breakpoints in the wrong data structures, or using the wrong iterators to traverse the lists, traversing the lists in inefficient ways, and not optimizing certain function name lookups/symbol merges correctly.
Debugging after that is also now very efficient. There were issues with replacing the breakpoint opcodes in memory that was read, and those routines were also fixed.

regions that aren't actually allocated in the
process. This cache is used by the expression
parser if the underlying process doesn't support
memory allocation, to avoid needless repeated
searches for unused address ranges.
Also fixed a silly bug in IRMemoryMap where it
would continue searching even after it found a
valid region.

Avoid a deadlock when using the OperatingSystemPython code and typing "process interrupt". There was a possible lock inversion between the target API lock and the process' thread list lock due to code trying to discard the thread list. This was fixed by adding a boolean to Process::Halt() that indicates if the thread plans should be discarded and doing it in the private state thread when we process the stopped state.

Main changes in this patch include:
- cleanup plug-in interface and use ConstStrings for plug-in names
- Modfiied the BSD Archive plug-in to be able to pick out the correct .o file when .a files contain multiple .o files with the same name by using the timestamp
- Modified SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap to properly verify the timestamp on .o files it loads to ensure we don't load updated .o files and cause problems when debugging
The plug-in interface changes:
Modified the lldb_private::PluginInterface class that all plug-ins inherit from:
Changed:
virtual const char * GetPluginName() = 0;
To:
virtual ConstString GetPluginName() = 0;
Removed:
virtual const char * GetShortPluginName() = 0;
- Fixed up all plug-in to adhere to the new interface and to return lldb_private::ConstString values for the plug-in names.
- Fixed all plug-ins to return simple names with no prefixes. Some plug-ins had prefixes and most ones didn't, so now they all don't have prefixed names, just simple names like "linux", "gdb-remote", etc.

This re-submission of this patch fixes a problem where the code sometimes caused a deadlock. The Process::SetPrivateState method was locking the Process::m_private_state variable and then later calling ThreadList::DidStop, which locks the ThreadList mutex. Other methods in ThreadList which were being called from other threads lock the ThreadList mutex and then call Process::GetPrivateState which locks the Process::m_private_state mutex. To avoid deadlocks, Process::SetPrivateState now locks the ThreadList mutex before locking the Process::m_private_state mutex.
