This option evaluates an expression and, if the result is of pointer type, treats it as if it was an array of that many elements and displays such elements
This has a couple subtle points but is mostly as straightforward as it sounds
Add a parray N <expr> alias for this new mode
Also, extend the --object-description mode to do the moral equivalent of the above but display each element in --object-description mode
Add a poarray N <expr> alias for this

This latter determination may or may not be possible on a per-language basis; and neither is mandatory to implement for any language
Use this knowledge in the ValueObjectPrinter to generalize the notion of IsObjCNil() and the respective printout
llvm-svn: 252663
ValueObjectPrinter can now mask out pointer values during a printout; also, it supports helper functions to print declarations in different formats if needed
Practically speaking however, this change is NFC as nothing yet uses it in the codebase

Create a new "lldb_private::CompilerDeclContext" class that will replace all direct uses of "clang::DeclContext" when used in compiler agnostic code, yet still allow for conversion to clang::DeclContext subclasses by clang specific code. This completes the abstraction of type parsing by removing all "clang::" references from the SymbolFileDWARF. The new "lldb_private::CompilerDeclContext" class abstracts decl contexts found in compiler type systems so they can be used in internal API calls. The TypeSystem is required to support CompilerDeclContexts with new pure virtual functions that start with "DeclContext" in the member function names. Converted all code that used lldb_private::ClangNamespaceDecl over to use the new CompilerDeclContext class and removed the ClangNamespaceDecl.cpp and ClangNamespaceDecl.h files.
Removed direct use of clang APIs from SBType and now use the abstract type systems to correctly explore types.
Bulk renames for things that used to return a ClangASTType which is now CompilerType:
"Type::GetClangFullType()" to "Type::GetFullCompilerType()"
"Type::GetClangLayoutType()" to "Type::GetLayoutCompilerType()"
"Type::GetClangForwardType()" to "Type::GetForwardCompilerType()"
"Value::GetClangType()" to "Value::GetCompilerType()"
"Value::SetClangType (const CompilerType &)" to "Value::SetCompilerType (const CompilerType &)"
"ValueObject::GetClangType ()" to "ValueObject::GetCompilerType()"
many more renames that are similar.

Summary:
For certain data structures, when the synthetic child provider returns
zero children, a summary like "Empty instance of <typename>" could be
more appropriate than something like "size=0 {}". This new option helps
hide the trailing "{}".
This is also exposed with a -h option for the command "type summary add".

Because vector types use their formats in special ways (i.e. children get generated based on them), this change by itself would cause a regression in printing vector types with some custom formats
Work around that issue by special casing vector types out of this format-passdown mode. I believe there is a more general feature to be designed in this space, but until I see more cases of interest, I am going to leave this as a special case

This was of course overridable by using DumpValueObjectOptions, but the default should be saner and the previous behavior made for a few fun investigations....

The way to do this is to write a synthetic child provider for your type, and have it vend the (optional) get_value function.
If get_value is defined, and it returns a valid SBValue, that SBValue's value (as in lldb_private::Value) will be used as the synthetic ValueObject's Value
The rationale for doing things this way is twofold:
- there are many possible ways to define a "value" (SBData, a Python number, ...) but SBValue seems general enough as a thing that stores a "value", so we just trade values that way and that keeps our currency trivial
- we could introduce a new level of layering (ValueObjectSyntheticValue), a new kind of formatter (synthetic value producer), but that would complicate the model (can I have a dynamic with no synthetic children but synthetic value? synthetic value with synthetic children but no dynamic?), and I really couldn't see much benefit to be reaped from this added complexity in the matrix
On the other hand, just defining a synthetic child provider with a get_value but returning no actual children is easy enough that it's not a significant road-block to adoption of this feature
Comes with a test case
llvm-svn: 219330
Rationale:
Pretty simply, the idea is that sometimes type names are way too long and contain way too many details for the average developer to care about. For instance, a plain ol' vector of int might be shown as
std::__1::vector<int, std::__1::allocator<....
rather than the much simpler std::vector<int> form, which is what most developers would actually type in their code
Proposed solution:
Introduce a notion of "display name" and a corresponding API GetDisplayTypeName() to return such a crafted for visual representation type name
Obviously, the display name and the fully qualified (or "true") name are not necessarily the same - that's the whole point
LLDB could choose to pick the "display name" as its one true notion of a type name, and if somebody really needs the fully qualified version of it, let them deal with the problem
Or, LLDB could rename what it currently calls the "type name" to be the "display name", and add new APIs for the fully qualified name, making the display name the default choice
The choice that I am making here is that the type name will keep meaning the same, and people who want a type name suited for display will explicitly ask for one
It is the less risky/disruptive choice - and it should eventually make it fairly obvious when someone is asking for the wrong type
Caveats:
- for now, GetDisplayTypeName() == GetTypeName(), there is no logic to produce customized display type names yet.
- while the fully-qualified type name is still the main key to the kingdom of data formatters, if we start showing custom names to people, those should match formatters

This decision has always been statically-bound to the individual formatter. With this patch, the idea is that this decision could potentially be dynamic depending on the ValueObject itself

Revert the spirit of r199857 - a convincing case can be made that overriding a summary's format markers behind its back is not the right thing to do
This commit reverts the behavior of the code to the previous model, and changes the test case to validate the opposite of what it was validating before
llvm-svn: 201455
ValueObjectPrinter could enter an infinite loop while trying to display an aptly formed ValueObject: a reference, with a child of some pointer type, such that the pointees chain ended up pointing back to some part of itself - a pointer to itself being the simplest such case
Fixed here by only setting a pointer depth when needed, and ensuring that we won't overflow and wrap the pointer depth when it's zero.
llvm-svn: 200247
This radar extends the notion of one-liner summaries to automagically apply in a few interesting cases
More specifically, this checkin changes the printout of ValueObjects to print on one-line (as if type summary add -c had been applied) iff:
this ValueObject does not have a summary
its children have no synthetic children
its children are not a non-empty base class without a summary
its children do not have a summary that asks for children to show up
the aggregate length of all the names of all the children is <= 50 characters
you did not ask to see the types during a printout
your pointer depth is 0
This is meant to simplify the way LLDB shows data on screen for small structs and similarly compact data types (e.g. std::pair<int,int> anyone?)
Feedback is especially welcome on how the feature feels and corner cases where we should apply this printout and don't (or viceversa, we are applying it when we shouldn't be)
llvm-svn: 191996
DumpValueObject() 2.0
This checkin restores pre-Xcode5 functionality to the "po" (expr -O) command:
- expr now has a new --description-verbosity (-v) argument, which takes either compact or full as a value (-v is the same as -vfull)
When the full mode is on, "po" will show the extended output with type name, persistent variable name and value, as in
(lldb) expr -O -v -- foo
(id) $0 = 0x000000010010baf0 {
1 = 2;
2 = 3;
}
When -v is omitted, or -vcompact is passed, the Xcode5-style output will be shown, as in
(lldb) expr -O -- foo
{
1 = 2;
2 = 3;
}
- for a non-ObjectiveC object, LLDB will still try to retrieve a summary and/or value to display
(lldb) po 5
5
-v also works in this mode
(lldb) expr -O -vfull -- 5
(int) $4 = 5
On top of that, this is a major refactoring of the ValueObject printing code. The functionality is now factored into a ValueObjectPrinter class for easier maintenance in the future
DumpValueObject() was turned into an instance method ValueObject::Dump() which simply calls through to the printer code, Dump_Impl has been removed
Test case to follow
