We added some support for this mode back in 2015, but the feature was
never productionized. It is completely untested, and there are known
major structural lldb issues that need to be resolved before this
feature can really be supported.
It also complicates making further changes to stop reply packet
handling, which is what I am about to do.

This reverts commit 82a3883715.
The original version had a copy-paste error: using the Interrupt timeout
for the ResumeSynchronous wait, which is clearly wrong. This error would
have been evident with real use, but the interrupt is long enough that it
only caused one testsuite failure (in the Swift fork).
Anyway, I found that mistake and fixed it and checked all the other places
where I had to plumb through a timeout, and added a test with a short
interrupt timeout stepping over a function that takes 3x the interrupt timeout
to complete, so that should detect a similar mistake in the future.
This reverts commit bd5751f3d2.
This patch series is causing us to every so often miss switching
the state from eStateRunning to eStateStopped when we get the stop
packet from the debug server.
Reverting till I can figure out how that could be happening.
ProcessGDBRemote plugin layers.
Also fix a bug where if we tried to interrupt, but the ReadPacket
wakeup timer woke us up just after the timeout, we would break out
the switch, but then since we immediately check if the response is
empty & fail if it is, we could end up actually only giving a
small interval to the interrupt.

Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D99828
LLDB uses utility functions to run code in the inferior for its own
internal purposes, such as reading classes from the Objective-C runtime
for example. Because these expressions should be transparent to the
user, we ignore breakpoints and unwind the stack on errors, which
makes them hard to debug.
This patch adds a new setting target.debug-utility-expression that, when
enabled, changes these options to facilitate debugging. It enables
breakpoints, disables unwinding and writes out the utility function
source code to disk so it shows up in the source view.

By now LLDB can import the 'std' C++ module to improve expression evaluation,
but there are still a few problems to solve before we can do this by default.
One is that importing the C++ module is slightly slower than normal expression
evaluation (mostly because the disk access and loading the initial lookup data
is quite slow in comparison to the barebone Clang setup the rest of the LLDB
expression evaluator is usually doing). Another problem is that some complicated
types in the standard library aren't fully supported yet by the ASTImporter, so
we end up types that fail to import (which usually appears to the user as if the
type is empty or there is just no result variable).
To still allow people to adopt this mode in their daily debugging, this patch
adds a setting that allows LLDB to automatically retry failed expression with a
loaded C++ module. All success expressions will behave exactly as they would do
before this patch. Failed expressions get a another parse attempt if we find a
usable C++ module in the current execution context. This way we shouldn't have
any performance/parsing regressions in normal debugging workflows, while the
debugging workflows involving STL containers benefit from the C++ module type
info.
This setting is off by default for now with the intention to enable it by
default on macOS soon-ish.
The implementation is mostly just extracting the existing parse logic into its
own function and then calling the parse function again if the first evaluation
failed and we have a C++ module to retry the parsing with.

While debugging another bug I found out that we currently don't set any limit
for the number of diagnostics Clang emits. If a user does something that
generates a lot of errors (like including some long header file from within the
expression function), then we currently spam the LLDB output with potentially
thousands of Clang error diagnostics.
Clang sets a default limit of 20 errors, but given that LLDB is often used
interactively for small expressions I would say a limit of 5 is enough. The
limit is implemented as a setting, so if a user cares about seeing having a
million errors printed to their terminal then they can just increase the
settings value.

Add an option that allows the user to decide to not make the inferior is
responsible for its own TCC permissions. If you don't make the inferior
responsible, it inherits the permissions of its parent. The motivation
is the scenario of running the LLDB test suite from an external hard
drive. If the inferior is responsible, every test needs to be granted
access to the external volume. When the permissions are inherited,
approval needs to be granted only once.

This patchs adds an optional warning that is printed when stopped at a
frame that was compiled in a source language that LLDB has no plugin
for.
The motivational use-case is debugging Swift code on Linux. When the
user accidentally invokes the system LLDB that was built without the
Swift plugin, it is very much non-obvious why debugging doesnt
work. This warning makes it easy to figure out what went wrong.

Summary:
Usually when Clang emits an error Fix-It it does two things. It emits the diagnostic and then it fixes the
currently generated AST to reflect the applied Fix-It. While emitting the diagnostic is easy to implement,
fixing the currently generated AST is often tricky. That causes that some Fix-Its just keep the AST as-is or
abort the parsing process entirely. Once the parser stopped, any Fix-Its for the rest of the expression are
not detected and when the user manually applies the Fix-It, the next expression will just produce a new
Fix-It.
This is often occurring with quickly made Fix-Its that are just used to bridge temporary API changes
and that often are not worth implementing a proper API fixup in addition to the diagnostic. To still
give some kind of reasonable user-experience for users that have these Fix-Its and rely on them to
fix their expressions, this patch adds the ability to retry parsing with applied Fix-Its multiple time to
give the normal Fix-It experience where things Clang knows how to fix are not causing actual expression
error (at least when automatically applying Fix-Its is activated).
The way this is implemented is just by having another setting in the expression options that specify how
often we should try applying Fix-Its and then reparse the expression. The default setting is still 1 for everyone
so this should not affect the speed in which we fail to parse expressions.

Summary:
The interactions between the environment settings (`target.env-vars`,
`target.inherit-env`) and the inferior life-cycle are non-obvious
today. For example, if `target.inherit-env` is set, the `target.env-vars`
setting will be augmented with the contents of the host environment
the first time the launch environment is queried (usually at
launch). After that point, toggling `target.inherit-env` will have no
effect as there's no tracking of what comes from the host and what is
a user setting.
This patch computes the environment every time it is queried rather
than updating the contents of the `target.env-vars` property. This
means that toggling the `target.inherit-env` property later will now
have the intended effect.
This patch also adds a `target.unset-env-vars` settings that one can
use to remove variables from the launch environment. Using this, you
can inherit all but a few of the host environment.
The way the launch environment is constructed is:
1/ if `target.inherit-env` is set, then read the host environment
into the launch environment.
2/ Remove for the environment the variables listed in
`target.unset-env`.
3/ Augment the launch environment with the contents of
`target.env-vars`. This overrides any common values with the host
environment.
The one functional difference here that could be seen as a regression
is that `target.env-vars` will not contain the inferior environment
after launch. The patch implements a better alternative in the
`target show-launch-environment` command which will return the
environment computed through the above rules.

The fourth field in the property struct is the default unsigned or enum
value for all types, except for Array and Dictionary types. For those,
it is the element type. During the tablegen conversion, this was
incorrectly translated to DefaultValueUnsigned with a value
corresponding to the OptionValue: enum type. So for
OptionValue::eTypeString this became DefaultUnsignedValue<16>. This
patch extends the tablegen backend to understand ElementType to express
this as ElementType<"String">.

Summary:
As discussed on the mailing list [1] we have to make a decision for how to proceed with the modern-type-lookup.
This patch removes modern-type-lookup from LLDB. This just removes all the code behind the modern-type-lookup
setting but it does *not* remove any code from Clang (i.e., the ExternalASTMerger and the clang-import-test stay around
for now).
The motivation for this is that I don't think that the current approach of implementing modern-type-lookup
will work out. Especially creating a completely new lookup system behind some setting that is never turned on by anyone
and then one day make one big switch to the new system seems wrong. It doesn't fit into the way LLVM is developed and has
so far made the transition work much more complicated than it has to be.
A lot of the benefits that were supposed to come with the modern-type-lookup are related to having a better organization
in the way types move across LLDB and having less dependencies on unrelated LLDB code. By just looking at the current code (mostly
the ClangASTImporter) I think we can reach the same goals by just incrementally cleaning up, documenting, refactoring
and actually testing the existing code we have.

Summary:
We got a radar that printing small floats is not very user-friendly in LLDB as we print them with up to
100 leading zeroes before starting to use scientific notation. This patch changes this by already using
scientific notation when we hit 6 padding zeroes by default and moves this value into a target setting
so that users can just set this number back to 100 if they for some reason preferred the old behaviour.
This new setting is influencing how we format data, so that's why we have to reset the data visualisation
cache when it is changed.
Note that we have always been using scientific notation for large numbers because it seems that
the LLVM implementation doesn't support printing out the padding zeroes for them. I would have fixed
that if it was trivial, but looking at the LLVM implementation for this it seems that this is not as trivial
as it sounds. I would say we look into this if we ever get a bug report about someone wanting to have
a large amount of trailing zeroes in their numbers instead of using scientific notation.

This is a bit more explicit, and makes it possible to build LLDB without

multiple libraries on stricter build systems).
