Providing a compact display mode for "po" to use where the convenience variable name and the pointer value are both hidden.
This is for convenience when dealing with ObjC instances where the description often gets it right and the debugger-provided information is not useful to most people.
If you need either of these, "expr" will still show them.

Extending ValueObjectDynamicValue so that it stores a TypeAndOrName instead of a TypeSP.
This change allows us to reflect the notion that a ValueObject can have a dynamic type for which we have no debug information.
Previously, we would coalesce that to the static type of the object, potentially losing relevant information or even getting it wrong.
This fix ensures we can correctly report the class name for Cocoa objects whose types are hidden classes that we know nothing about (e.g. __NSArrayI for immutable arrays).
As a side effect, our --show-types argument to frame variable no longer needs to append custom dynamic type information.

in an Objective-C class method. Before, errors
of the form
error: cannot find interface declaration for '$__lldb_objc_class'
would appear when running any expression when
the current frame is a block that captures 'self'
from an Objective-C class method.

Adding useful formatting options to the expression (expr) command.
As a side effect of this change, the -d option now supports the same three-values enumeration that frame variables uses (run, don't run, none) instead of a boolean like it did previously
These options do not apply to print, p or po because these are aliased to not take any options.
In order to use them, use expression or expr.

Setting breakpoints using "breakpoint set --selector <SEL>" previously didn't when there was no dSYM file.
Also fixed issues in the test suite that arose after fixing the bug.
Also fixed the log channels to properly ref count the log streams using weak pointers to the streams. This fixes a test suite problem that would happen when you specified a full path to the compiler with the "--compiler" option.

for reporting class types from Objective-C runtime
class symbols. Instead, LLDB now queries the
Objective-C runtime for class types.
We have also added a (minimal) Objective-C runtime
type vendor for Objective-C runtime version 1, to
prevent regressions when calling class methods in
the V1 runtime.
Other components of this fix include:
- We search the Objective-C runtime in a few more
places.
- We enable enumeration of all members of
Objective-C classes, which Clang does in certain
circumstances.
- SBTarget::FindFirstType and SBTarget::FindTypes
now query the Objective-C runtime as needed.
- I fixed several test cases.

Supporting a compact display syntax for ObjC pointers where 0x00.....0 is replaced by a much more legible "nil"
e.g. this would show:
(NSArray *) $2 = nil
instead of:
(NSArray *) $2 = 0x0000000000000000 <nil>
llvm-svn: 170161
the option to print the runtime-specific description has been modified in the frame variable, memory read and expression command.
All three commands now support a --object-description option, with a shortcut of -O (uppercase letter o)
This is a breaking change:
frame variable used --objc as the long option name
expression used -o as a shortcut
memory read uses --objd as the long option name
Hopefully, most users won't be affected by the change since people tend to access "expression --object-description" under the alias "po" which still works
The test suite has been tweaked accordingly.

"self" when those pointers are in registers.
Previously in this case the IRInterpreter would
handle them just as if the user had typed in
"$rdi", which isn't safe because $rdi is passed
in through the argument struct.
Now we correctly break out all three cases (i.e.,
normal variables in registers, $reg, and this/self),
and handle them in a way that's a little bit easier
to read and change.
This results in more accurate printing of "this" and
"self" pointers all around. I have strengthened the
optimized-code test case for Objective-C to ensure
that we catch regressions in this area reliably in
the future.

Cleaned up the option parsing code to always pass around the short options as integers. Previously we cast this down to "char" and lost some information. I recently added an assert that would detect duplicate short character options which was firing during the test suite.
This fix does the following:
- make sure all short options are treated as "int"
- make sure that short options can be non-printable values when a short option is not required or when an option group is mixed into many commands and a short option is not desired
- fix the help printing to "do the right thing" in all cases. Previously if there were duplicate short character options, it would just not emit help for the duplicates
- fix option parsing when there are duplicates to parse options correctly. Previously the option parsing, when done for an OptionGroup, would just start parsing options incorrectly by omitting table entries and it would end up setting the wrong option value
llvm-svn: 169189
expressions that refer to ivars will not work because Clang
emits IR that refers to them to get the ivar offsets.
However, it is possible to search the runtime for these values.
I have added support for reading the relevant tables to the
Objective-C runtime, and extended ClangExpressionDeclMap to
query that information if and only if it doesn't find the symbols
in the binary.
Also added a testcase.

This feature allows us to group test cases into logical groups (categories), and to only run a subset of test cases based on these categories.
Each test-case can have a new method getCategories(self): which returns a list of strings that are the categories to which the test case belongs.
If a test-case does not provide its own categories, we will look for categories in the class that contains the test case.
If that fails too, the default implementation looks for a .category file, which contains a comma separated list of strings.
The test suite will recurse look for .categories up until the top level directory (which we guarantee will have an empty .category file).
The driver dotest.py has a new --category <foo> option, which can be repeated, and specifies which categories of tests you want to run.
(example: ./dotest.py --category objc --category expression)
All tests that do not belong to any specified category will be skipped. Other filtering options still exist and should not interfere with category filtering.
A few tests have been categorized. Feel free to categorize others, and to suggest new categories that we could want to use.
All categories need to be validly defined in dotest.py, or the test suite will refuse to run when you use them as arguments to --category.
In the end, failures will be reported on a per-category basis, as well as in the usual format.
This is the very first stage of this feature. Feel free to chime in with ideas for improvements!

boxed expressions returning numbers and strings.
I also added boxed expressions to our testcases, and
enabled boxed expressions when libarclite is linked into
the inferior.

the controlling plans so that they don't lose control.
Also change "ThreadPlanStepThrough" to take the return StackID for its backstop breakpoint as an argument
to the constructor rather than having it try to figure it out itself, since it might get it wrong whereas
the caller always knows where it is coming from.

ObjCPlusPlus as Objective-C classes. Really the
compiler should say they have Objective-C runtime
class, but we should be a little more resilient
(we were refusing to find ivars in those classes
before).
Also added a test case.
llvm-svn: 155515
This takes two important changes:
- Calling blocks is now supported. You need to
cast their return values, but that works fine.
- We now can correctly run JIT-compiled
expressions that use floating-point numbers.
Also, we have taken a fix that allows us to
ignore access control in Objective-C as in C++.

Objective-C classes. This allows LLDB to find
ivars declared in class extensions in modules other
than where the debugger is currently stopped (we
already supported this when the debugger was
stopped in the same module as the definition).
This involved the following main changes:
- The ObjCLanguageRuntime now knows how to hunt
for the authoritative version of an Objective-C
type. It looks for the symbol indicating a
definition, and then gets the type from the
module containing that symbol.
- ValueObjects now report their type with a
potential override, and the override is set if
the type of the ValueObject is an Objective-C
class or pointer type that is defined somewhere
other than the original reported type. This
means that "frame variable" will always use the
complete type if one is available.
- The ClangASTSource now looks for the complete
type when looking for ivars. This means that
"expr" will always use the complete type if one
is available.
- I added a testcase that verifies that both
"frame variable" and "expr" work.
