This commit enables the new HasChildren() feature for synthetic children providers
Namely, it hooks up the required bits and pieces so that individual synthetic children providers can implement a new (optional) has_children call
Default implementations have been provided where necessary so that any existing providers continue to work and behave correctly
Next steps are:
2) writing smart implementations of has_children for our providers whenever possible
3) make a test case

Given our implementation of ValueObjects we could have a scenario where a ValueObject has a dynamic type of Foo* at one point, and then its dynamic type changes to Bar*
If Bar* has synthetic children enabled, by the time we figure that out, our public API is already vending SBValues wrapping a DynamicVO, instead of a SyntheticVO and there was
no trivial way for us to change the SP inside an SBValue on the fly
This checkin reimplements SBValue in terms of a wrapper, ValueImpl, that allows this substitutions on-the-fly by overriding GetSP() to do The Right Thing (TM)
As an additional bonus, GetNonSyntheticValue() now works, and we can get rid of the ForceDisableSyntheticChildren idiom in ScriptInterpreterPython
Lastly, this checkin makes sure the synthetic VOs get the correct m_value and m_data from their parents (prevented summaries from working in some cases)

- Tweaked a parameter name in SBDebugger.h so my typemap will catch it;
- Added a SBDebugger.Create(bool, callback, baton) to the swig interface;
- Added SBDebugger.SetLoggingCallback to the swig interface;
- Added a callback utility function for log callbacks;
- Guard against Py_None on both callback utility functions;
- Added a FIXME to the SBDebugger API test;
- Added a __del__() stub for SBDebugger.
We need to be able to get both the log callback and baton from an
SBDebugger if we want to protect against memory leaks (or make the user
responsible for holding another reference to the callback).
Additionally, it's impossible to revert from a callback-backed log
mechanism to a file-backed log mechanism.

Now it's possible to use SBInputReader callbacks in Python.
We leak the callback object, unfortunately. A __del__ method can be added
to SBInputReader, but we have no way to check the callback function that
is on the reader. So we can't call Py_DECREF on it when we have our
PythonCallback function. One way to do it is to assume that reified
SBInputReaders always have a Python callback (and always call Py_DECREF).
Another one is to add methods or properties to SBInputReader (or make the
m_callback_function property public).

Changes to synthetic children:
- the update(self): function can now (optionally) return a value - if it returns boolean value True, ValueObjectSyntheticFilter will not clear its caches across stop-points
this should allow better performance for Python-based synthetic children when one can be sure that the child ValueObjects have not changed
- making a difference between a synthetic VO and a VO with a synthetic value: now a ValueObjectSyntheticFilter will not return itself as its own synthetic value, but will (correctly)
claim to itself be synthetic
- cleared up the internal synthetic children architecture to make a more consistent use of pointers and references instead of shared pointers when possible
- major cleanup of unnecessary #include, data and functions in ValueObjectSyntheticFilter itself
- removed the SyntheticValueType enum and replaced it with a plain boolean (to which it was equivalent in the first place)
Some clean ups to the summary generation code
Centralized the code that clears out user-visible strings and data in ValueObject
More efficient summaries for libc++ containers
llvm-svn: 153061
a) adds a Python summary provider for NSDate
b) changes the initialization for ScriptInterpreter so that we are not passing a bulk of Python-specific function pointers around
c) provides a new ScriptInterpreterObject class that allows for ref-count safe wrapping of scripting objects on the C++ side
d) contains much needed performance improvements:
1) the pointer to the Python function generating a scripted summary is now cached instead of looked up every time
2) redundant memory reads in the Python ObjC runtime wrapper are eliminated
3) summaries now use the m_summary_str in ValueObject to store their data instead of passing around ( == copying) an std::string object
e) contains other minor fixes, such as adding descriptive error messages for some cases of summary generation failure

LLDBSwigPythonCallCommand crashes when a command script returns an object
Add more robustness to LLDBSwigPythonCallCommand. It should check whether the returned Python object
is a string, and only assign it as the error msg when the check holds.
Also add a regression test.

- introduced two new classes ValueObjectConstResultChild and ValueObjectConstResultImpl: the first one is a ValueObjectChild obtained from
a ValueObjectConstResult, the second is a common implementation backend for VOCR and VOCRCh of method calls meant to read through pointers stored
in frozen objects ; now such reads transparently move from host to target as required
- as a consequence of the above, removed code that made target-memory copies of expression results in several places throughout LLDB, and also
removed code that enabled to recognize an expression result VO as such
- introduced a new GetPointeeData() method in ValueObject that lets you read a given amount of objects of type T from a VO
representing a T* or T[], and doing dereferences transparently
in private layer it returns a DataExtractor ; in public layer it returns an instance of a newly created lldb::SBData
- as GetPointeeData() does the right thing for both frozen and non-frozen ValueObject's, reimplemented ReadPointedString() to use it
en lieu of doing the raw read itself
- introduced a new GetData() method in ValueObject that lets you get a copy of the data that backs the ValueObject (for pointers,
this returns the address without any previous dereferencing steps ; for arrays it actually reads the whole chunk of memory)
in public layer this returns an SBData, just like GetPointeeData()
- introduced a new CreateValueFromData() method in SBValue that lets you create a new SBValue from a chunk of data wrapped in an SBData
the limitation to remember for this kind of SBValue is that they have no address: extracting the address-of for these objects (with any
of GetAddress(), GetLoadAddress() and AddressOf()) will return invalid values
- added several tests to check that "p"-ing objects (STL classes, char* and char[]) will do the right thing
Solved a bug where global pointers to global variables were not dereferenced correctly for display
New target setting "max-string-summary-length" gives the maximum number of characters to show in a string when summarizing it, instead of the hardcoded 128
Solved a bug where the summary for char[] and char* would not be shown if the ValueObject's were dumped via the "p" command
Removed m_pointers_point_to_load_addrs from ValueObject. Introduced a new m_address_type_of_children, which each ValueObject can set to tell the address type
of any pointers and/or references it creates. In the current codebase, this is load address most of the time (the only notable exception being file
addresses that generate file address children UNLESS we have a live process)
Updated help text for summary-string
Fixed an issue in STL formatters where std::stlcontainer::iterator would match the container's synthetic children providers
Edited the syntax and help for some commands to have proper argument types
llvm-svn: 139160
If you have a Python module foo, in order to use its contained objects in LLDB you do not need to use
'from foo import *'. You can use 'import foo', and then refer to items in foo as 'foo.bar', and LLDB
will know how to resolve bar as a member of foo.
Accordingly, GNU libstdc++ formatters have been moved from the global namespace to gnu_libstdcpp and a few
test cases are also updated to reflect the new convention. Python docs suggest using a plain 'import' en lieu of
'from-import'.

- 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
llvm-svn: 137785
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
