plug-ins are add on plug-ins for the lldb_private::Process class that can add
thread contexts that are read from memory. It is common in kernels to have
a lot of threads that are not currently executing on any cores (JTAG debugging
also follows this sort of thing) and are context switched out whose state is
stored in memory data structures. Clients can now subclass the OperatingSystem
plug-ins and then make sure their Create functions correcltly only enable
themselves when the right binary/target triple are being debugged. The
operating system plug-ins get a chance to attach themselves to processes just
after launching or attaching and are given a lldb_private::Process object
pointer which can be inspected to see if the main executable, target triple,
or any shared libraries match a case where the OS plug-in should be used.
Currently the OS plug-ins can create new threads, define the register contexts
for these threads (which can all be different if desired), and populate and
manage the thread info (stop reason, registers in the register context) as
the debug session goes on.

This is helping us track down some extra references to ModuleSP objects that
are causing things to get kept around for too long.
Added a module pointer accessor to target and change a lot of code to use
it where it would be more efficient.
"taret delete" can now specify "--clean=1" which will cleanup the global module
list for any orphaned module in the shared module cache which can save memory
and also help track down module reference leaks like we have now.
llvm-svn: 137294
event is removed. Also use the return value of asynchronous breakpoint callbacks, they get checked before, and override the
breakpoint conditions.
Added ProcessModInfo class, to unify "stop_id generation" and "memory modification generation", and use where needed.
llvm-svn: 137102
method so process plug-ins that are requested by name can answer yes when
asked if they can debug a target that might not have any file in the target.
Modified the ConnectionFileDescriptor to have both a read and a write file
descriptor. This allows us to support UDP, and eventually will allow us to
support pipes. The ConnectionFileDescriptor class also has a file descriptor
type for each of the read and write file decriptors so we can use the correct
read/recv/recvfrom call when reading, or write/send/sendto for writing.
Finished up an initial implementation of UDP where you can use the "udp://"
URL to specify a host and port to connect to:
(lldb) process connect --plugin kdp-remote udp://host:41139
This will cause a ConnectionFileDescriptor to be created that can send UDP
packets to "host:41139", and it will also bind to a localhost port that can
be given out to receive the connectionless UDP reply.
Added the ability to get to the IPv4/IPv6 socket port number from a
ConnectionFileDescriptor instance if either file descriptor is a socket.
The ProcessKDP can now successfully connect to a remote kernel and detach
using the above "processs connect" command!!! So far we have the following
packets working:
KDP_CONNECT
KDP_DISCONNECT
KDP_HOSTINFO
KDP_VERSION
KDP_REATTACH
Now that the packets are working, adding new packets will go very quickly.
llvm-svn: 135363
of duplicated code from appearing all over LLDB:
lldb::addr_t
Process::ReadPointerFromMemory (lldb::addr_t vm_addr, Error &error);
bool
Process::WritePointerToMemory (lldb::addr_t vm_addr, lldb::addr_t ptr_value, Error &error);
size_t
Process::ReadScalarIntegerFromMemory (lldb::addr_t addr, uint32_t byte_size, bool is_signed, Scalar &scalar, Error &error);
size_t
Process::WriteScalarToMemory (lldb::addr_t vm_addr, const Scalar &scalar, uint32_t size, Error &error);
in lldb_private::Process the following functions were renamed:
From:
uint64_t
Process::ReadUnsignedInteger (lldb::addr_t load_addr,
size_t byte_size,
Error &error);
To:
uint64_t
Process::ReadUnsignedIntegerFromMemory (lldb::addr_t load_addr,
size_t byte_size,
uint64_t fail_value,
Error &error);
Cleaned up a lot of code that was manually doing what the above functions do
to use the functions listed above.
Added the ability to get a scalar value as a buffer that can be written down
to a process (byte swapping the Scalar value if needed):
uint32_t
Scalar::GetAsMemoryData (void *dst,
uint32_t dst_len,
lldb::ByteOrder dst_byte_order,
Error &error) const;
The "dst_len" can be smaller that the size of the scalar and the least
significant bytes will be written. "dst_len" can also be larger and the
most significant bytes will be padded with zeroes.
Centralized the code that adds or removes address bits for callable and opcode
addresses into lldb_private::Target:
lldb::addr_t
Target::GetCallableLoadAddress (lldb::addr_t load_addr, AddressClass addr_class) const;
lldb::addr_t
Target::GetOpcodeLoadAddress (lldb::addr_t load_addr, AddressClass addr_class) const;
All necessary lldb_private::Address functions now use the target versions so
changes should only need to happen in one place if anything needs updating.
Fixed up a lot of places that were calling :
addr_t
Address::GetLoadAddress(Target*);
to call the Address::GetCallableLoadAddress() or Address::GetOpcodeLoadAddress()
as needed. There were many places in the breakpoint code where things could
go wrong for ARM if these weren't used.
llvm-svn: 131878
action the second time the event is removed (the first is the internal ->
external transition, the second when it is pulled off the public event
queue, and further times when it is put back because we are faking a
stop reason to hide the expression evaluation stops.
llvm-svn: 131869
StoppointLocation.h.
Added a new lldb_private::Address function:
addr_t
Address::GetOpcodeLoadAddress (Target *target) const;
This will strip any special bits from an address to make sure it is suitable
for use in addressing an opcode. Often ARM addresses have an extra bit zero
that can be set to indicate ARM vs Thumb addresses (gotten from return address
registers, or symbol addresses that may be marked up specially). We need to
strip these bits off prior to setting breakpoints, so we can centralized the
place to do this inside the Address class.

respective ABI plugins as they were plug-ins that supplied ABI specfic info.
Also hookep up the UnwindAssemblyInstEmulation so that it can generate the
unwind plans for ARM.
Changed the way ABI plug-ins are handed out when you get an instance from
the plug-in manager. They used to return pointers that would be mananged
individually by each client that requested them, but now they are handed out
as shared pointers since there is no state in the ABI objects, they can be
shared.
llvm-svn: 131193

Also fixed a bug that caused the results of
statically-evaluated expressions to be materialized
improperly.
This bug also removes some duplicate code.
llvm-svn: 131042
command line driver, including the lldb prompt being output by
editline, the asynchronous process output & error messages, and
asynchronous messages written by target stop-hooks.
As part of this it introduces a new Stream class,
StreamAsynchronousIO. A StreamAsynchronousIO object is created with a
broadcaster, who will eventually broadcast the stream's data for a
listener to handle, and an event type indicating what type of event
the broadcaster will broadcast. When the Write method is called on a
StreamAsynchronousIO object, the data is appended to an internal
string. When the Flush method is called on a StreamAsynchronousIO
object, it broadcasts it's data string and clears the string.
Anything in lldb-core that needs to generate asynchronous output for
the end-user should use the StreamAsynchronousIO objects.
I have also added a new notification type for InputReaders, to let
them know that a asynchronous output has been written. This is to
allow the input readers to, for example, refresh their prompts and
lines, if desired. I added the case statements to all the input
readers to catch this notification, but I haven't added any code for
handling them yet (except to the IOChannel input reader).
llvm-svn: 130721
interface.
Added a quick way to set the platform though the SBDebugger interface. I will
actually an a SBPlatform support soon, but for now this will do.
ConnectionFileDescriptor can be passed a url formatted as: "fd://<fd>" where
<fd> is a file descriptor in the current process. This is handy if you have
services, deamons, or other tools that can spawn processes and give you a
file handle.
llvm-svn: 130565
set by default when dumping registers. If you want to see all of the register
sets you can use the "--all" option:
(lldb) register read --all
If you want to just see some register sets, you can currently specify them
by index:
(lldb) register read --set 0 --set 2
We need to get shorter register set names soon so we can specify the register
sets by name without having to type too much. I will make this change soon.
You can also have any integer encoded registers resolve the address values
back to any code or data from the object files using the "--lookup" option.
Below is sample output when stopped in the libc function "puts" with some
const strings in registers:
Process 8973 stopped

fs = 0x0000000000000000
gs = 0x0000000000000000
As we can see, we see two constant strings and the PC (register "rip") is
showing the code it resolves to.
I fixed the register "--format" option to work as expected.
Added a setting to disable skipping the function prologue when setting
breakpoints as a target settings variable:
(lldb) settings set target.skip-prologue false
Updated the user settings controller boolean value handler funciton to be able
to take the default value so it can correctly respond to the eVarSetOperationClear
operation.
Did some usability work on the OptionValue classes.
Fixed the "image lookup" command to correctly respond to the "--verbose"
option and display the detailed symbol context information when looking up
line table entries and functions by name. This previously was only working
for address lookups.
llvm-svn: 129977
threads, and stack frame down in the lldb_private::Process,
lldb_private::Thread, lldb_private::StackFrameList and the
lldb_private::StackFrame classes. We had some command line
commands that had duplicate versions of the process status
output ("thread list" and "process status" for example).
Removed the "file" command and placed it where it should
have been: "target create". Made an alias for "file" to
"target create" so we stay compatible with GDB commands.
We can now have multple usable targets in lldb at the
same time. This is nice for comparing two runs of a program
or debugging more than one binary at the same time. The
new command is "target select <target-idx>" and also to see
a list of the current targets you can use the new "target list"
command. The flow in a debug session can be:
(lldb) target create /path/to/exe/a.out
(lldb) breakpoint set --name main
(lldb) run
... hit breakpoint
(lldb) target create /bin/ls
(lldb) run /tmp
Process 36001 exited with status = 0 (0x00000000)
(lldb) target list
Current targets:
target #0: /tmp/args/a.out ( arch=x86_64-apple-darwin, platform=localhost, pid=35999, state=stopped )
* target #1: /bin/ls ( arch=x86_64-apple-darwin, platform=localhost, pid=36001, state=exited )
(lldb) target select 0
Current targets:
* target #0: /tmp/args/a.out ( arch=x86_64-apple-darwin, platform=localhost, pid=35999, state=stopped )
target #1: /bin/ls ( arch=x86_64-apple-darwin, platform=localhost, pid=36001, state=exited )
(lldb) bt
* thread #1: tid = 0x2d03, 0x0000000100000b9a a.out`main + 42 at main.c:16, stop reason = breakpoint 1.1

frame #1: 0x0000000100000b64 a.out`start + 52
Above we created a target for "a.out" and ran and hit a
breakpoint at "main". Then we created a new target for /bin/ls
and ran it. Then we listed the targest and selected our original
"a.out" program, so we showed two concurent debug sessions
going on at the same time.
llvm-svn: 129695
expressions that are simple enough to get passed to the "frame var" underpinnings. The parser code will
have to be changed to also query for the dynamic types & offsets as it is looking up variables.
The behavior of "frame var" is controlled in two ways. You can pass "-d {true/false} to the frame var
command to get the dynamic or static value of the variables you are printing.
There's also a general setting:
target.prefer-dynamic-value (boolean) = 'true'
which is consulted if you call "frame var" without supplying a value for the -d option.
llvm-svn: 129623
lldb_private::OptionGroup
lldb_private::OptionGroupOptions
OptionGroup lets you define a class that encapsulates settings that you want
to reuse in multiple commands. It contains only the option definitions and the
ability to set the option values, but it doesn't directly interface with the
lldb_private::Options class that is the front end to all of the CommandObject
option parsing. For that the OptionGroupOptions class can be used. It aggregates
one or more OptionGroup objects and directs the option setting to the
appropriate OptionGroup class. For an example of this, take a look at the
CommandObjectFile and how it uses its "m_option_group" object shown below
to be able to set values in both the FileOptionGroup and PlatformOptionGroup
classes. The members used in CommandObjectFile are:
OptionGroupOptions m_option_group;
FileOptionGroup m_file_options;
PlatformOptionGroup m_platform_options;
Then in the constructor for CommandObjectFile you can combine the option
settings. The code below shows a simplified version of the constructor:
CommandObjectFile::CommandObjectFile(CommandInterpreter &interpreter) :
CommandObject (...),
m_option_group (interpreter),
m_file_options (),
m_platform_options(true)
{
m_option_group.Append (&m_file_options);
m_option_group.Append (&m_platform_options);
m_option_group.Finalize();
}
We append the m_file_options and then the m_platform_options and then tell
the option group the finalize the results. This allows the m_option_group to
become the organizer of our prefs and after option parsing we end up with
valid preference settings in both the m_file_options and m_platform_options
objects. This also allows any other commands to use the FileOptionGroup and
PlatformOptionGroup classes to implement options for their commands.
Renamed:
virtual void Options::ResetOptionValues();
to:
virtual void Options::OptionParsingStarting();
And implemented a new callback named:
virtual Error Options::OptionParsingFinished();
This allows Options subclasses to verify that the options all go together
after all of the options have been specified and gives the chance for the
command object to return an error. It also gives a chance to take all of the
option values and produce or initialize objects after all options have
completed parsing.
Modfied:
virtual Error
SetOptionValue (int option_idx, const char *option_arg) = 0;
to be:
virtual Error
SetOptionValue (uint32_t option_idx, const char *option_arg) = 0;
(option_idx is now unsigned).
llvm-svn: 129415
the CommandInterpreter where it was always being used.
Make sure that Modules can track their object file offsets correctly to
allow opening of sub object files (like the "__commpage" on darwin).
Modified the Platforms to be able to launch processes. The first part of this
move is the platform soon will become the entity that launches your program
and when it does, it uses a new ProcessLaunchInfo class which encapsulates
all process launching settings. This simplifies the internal APIs needed for
launching. I want to slowly phase out process launching from the process
classes, so for now we can still launch just as we used to, but eventually
the platform is the object that should do the launching.
Modified the Host::LaunchProcess in the MacOSX Host.mm to correctly be able
to launch processes with all of the new eLaunchFlag settings. Modified any
code that was manually launching processes to use the Host::LaunchProcess
functions.
Fixed an issue where lldb_private::Args had implicitly defined copy
constructors that could do the wrong thing. This has now been fixed by adding
an appropriate copy constructor and assignment operator.
Make sure we don't add empty ModuleSP entries to a module list.
Fixed the commpage module creation on MacOSX, but we still need to train
the MacOSX dynamic loader to not get rid of it when it doesn't have an entry
in the all image infos.
Abstracted many more calls from in ProcessGDBRemote down into the
GDBRemoteCommunicationClient subclass to make the classes cleaner and more
efficient.
Fixed the default iOS ARM register context to be correct and also added support
for targets that don't support the qThreadStopInfo packet by selecting the
current thread (only if needed) and then sending a stop reply packet.
Debugserver can now start up with a --unix-socket (-u for short) and can
then bind to port zero and send the port it bound to to a listening process
on the other end. This allows the GDB remote platform to spawn new GDB server
instances (debugserver) to allow platform debugging.
llvm-svn: 129351
This allows you to have a platform selected, then specify a triple using
"i386" and have the remaining triple items (vendor, os, and environment) set
automatically.
Many interpreter commands take the "--arch" option to specify an architecture
triple, so now the command options needed to be able to get to the current
platform, so the Options class now take a reference to the interpreter on
construction.
Modified the build LLVM building in the Xcode project to use the new
Xcode project level user definitions:
LLVM_BUILD_DIR - a path to the llvm build directory
LLVM_SOURCE_DIR - a path to the llvm sources for the llvm that will be used to build lldb
LLVM_CONFIGURATION - the configuration that lldb is built for (Release,
Release+Asserts, Debug, Debug+Asserts).
I also changed the LLVM build to not check if "lldb/llvm" is a symlink and
then assume it is a real llvm build directory versus the unzipped llvm.zip
package, so now you can actually have a "lldb/llvm" directory in your lldb
sources.
llvm-svn: 129112
event.
Modified the ProcessInfo structure to contain all process arguments. Using the
new function calls on MacOSX allows us to see the full process name, not just
the first 16 characters.
Added a new platform command: "platform process info <pid> [<pid> <pid> ...]"
that can be used to get detailed information for a process including all
arguments, user and group info and more.
llvm-svn: 128694
class now implements the Host functionality for a lot of things that make
sense by default so that subclasses can check:
int
PlatformSubclass::Foo ()
{
if (IsHost())
return Platform::Foo (); // Let the platform base class do the host specific stuff
// Platform subclass specific code...
int result = ...
return result;
}
Added new functions to the platform:
virtual const char *Platform::GetUserName (uint32_t uid);
virtual const char *Platform::GetGroupName (uint32_t gid);
The user and group names are cached locally so that remote platforms can avoid
sending packets multiple times to resolve this information.
Added the parent process ID to the ProcessInfo class.
Added a new ProcessInfoMatch class which helps us to match processes up
and changed the Host layer over to using this new class. The new class allows
us to search for processs:
1 - by name (equal to, starts with, ends with, contains, and regex)
2 - by pid
3 - And further check for parent pid == value, uid == value, gid == value,
euid == value, egid == value, arch == value, parent == value.
This is all hookup up to the "platform process list" command which required
adding dumping routines to dump process information. If the Host class
implements the process lookup routines, you can now lists processes on
your local machine:
machine1.foo.com % lldb
(lldb) platform process list

The lldb-platform implements everything with the Host:: layer, so this should
"just work" for linux. I will probably be adding more stuff to the Host layer
for launching processes and attaching to processes so that this support should
eventually just work as well.
Modified the target to be able to be created with an architecture that differs
from the main executable. This is needed for iOS debugging since we can have
an "armv6" binary which can run on an "armv7" machine, so we want to be able
to do:
% lldb
(lldb) platform create remote-ios
(lldb) file --arch armv7 a.out
Where "a.out" is an armv6 executable. The platform then can correctly decide
to open all "armv7" images for all dependent shared libraries.
Modified the disassembly to show the current PC value. Example output:
(lldb) disassemble --frame
a.out`main:
0x1eb7: pushl %ebp
0x1eb8: movl %esp, %ebp
0x1eba: pushl %ebx
0x1ebb: subl $20, %esp
0x1ebe: calll 0x1ec3 ; main + 12 at test.c:18
0x1ec3: popl %ebx
-> 0x1ec4: calll 0x1f12 ; getpid
0x1ec9: movl %eax, 4(%esp)
0x1ecd: leal 199(%ebx), %eax
0x1ed3: movl %eax, (%esp)
0x1ed6: calll 0x1f18 ; printf
0x1edb: leal 213(%ebx), %eax
0x1ee1: movl %eax, (%esp)
0x1ee4: calll 0x1f1e ; puts
0x1ee9: calll 0x1f0c ; getchar
0x1eee: movl $20, (%esp)
0x1ef5: calll 0x1e6a ; sleep_loop at test.c:6
0x1efa: movl $12, %eax
0x1eff: addl $20, %esp
0x1f02: popl %ebx
0x1f03: leave
0x1f04: ret
This can be handy when dealing with the new --line options that was recently
added:
(lldb) disassemble --line
a.out`main + 13 at test.c:19
18 {
-> 19 printf("Process: %i\n\n", getpid());
20 puts("Press any key to continue..."); getchar();
-> 0x1ec4: calll 0x1f12 ; getpid
0x1ec9: movl %eax, 4(%esp)
0x1ecd: leal 199(%ebx), %eax
0x1ed3: movl %eax, (%esp)
0x1ed6: calll 0x1f18 ; printf
Modified the ModuleList to have a lookup based solely on a UUID. Since the
UUID is typically the MD5 checksum of a binary image, there is no need
to give the path and architecture when searching for a pre-existing
image in an image list.
Now that we support remote debugging a bit better, our lldb_private::Module
needs to be able to track what the original path for file was as the platform
knows it, as well as where the file is locally. The module has the two
following functions to retrieve both paths:
const FileSpec &Module::GetFileSpec () const;
const FileSpec &Module::GetPlatformFileSpec () const;
llvm-svn: 128563
public types and public enums. This was done to keep the SWIG stuff from
parsing all sorts of enums and types that weren't needed, and allows us to
abstract our API better.
llvm-svn: 128239
static archive that can be linked against. LLDB.framework/lldb.so
exports a very controlled API. Splitting the API into a static
library allows other tools (debugserver for now) to use the power
of the LLDB debugger core, yet not export it as its API is not
portable or maintainable. The Host layer and many of the other
internal only APIs can now be statically linked against.
Now LLDB.framework/lldb.so links against "liblldb-core.a" instead
of compiling the .o files only for the shared library. This fix
is only for compiling with Xcode as the Makefile based build already
does this.
The Xcode projecdt compiler has been changed to LLVM. Anyone using
Xcode 3 will need to manually change the compiler back to GCC 4.2,
or update to Xcode 4.

platform status -- gets status information for the selected platform

Note that this is all happening prior to running _or_ connecting to a remote
platform. Once connected to a remote platform the OS version might change which
means we will need to update our dependecies. Also once we run, we will need
to match up the actualy binaries with the actualy UUID's to files in the
SDK, or download and cache them locally.
This is just the start of the remote platforms, but this modification is the
first iteration in getting the platforms really doing something.

Still need to add "in methods of a class" to the specifiers, and the ability to write the stop hooks in the Scripting language as well as in the Command Language.

correct order. Previously this was tacitly implemented but not
enforced, so it was possible to accidentally do things in the wrong
order and cause problems. This fixes that problem.

an interface to a local or remote debugging platform. By default each host OS
that supports LLDB should be registering a "default" platform that will be
used unless a new platform is selected. Platforms are responsible for things
such as:
- getting process information by name or by processs ID
- finding platform files. This is useful for remote debugging where there is
an SDK with files that might already or need to be cached for debug access.
- getting a list of platform supported architectures in the exact order they
should be selected. This helps the native x86 platform on MacOSX select the
correct x86_64/i386 slice from universal binaries.
- Connect to remote platforms for remote debugging
- Resolving an executable including finding an executable inside platform
specific bundles (macosx uses .app bundles that contain files) and also
selecting the appropriate slice of universal files for a given platform.
So by default there is always a local platform, but remote platforms can be
connected to. I will soon be adding a new "platform" command that will support
the following commands:
(lldb) platform connect --name machine1 macosx connect://host:port
Connected to "machine1" platform.
(lldb) platform disconnect macosx
This allows LLDB to be well setup to do remote debugging and also once
connected process listing and finding for things like:
(lldb) process attach --name x<TAB>
The currently selected platform plug-in can now auto complete any available
processes that start with "x". The responsibilities for the platform plug-in
will soon grow and expand.

Modifed lldb_private::Process to be able to handle connecting to a remote
target that isn't running a process. This leaves lldb_private::Process in the
eStateConnected state from which we can then do an attach or launch.
Modified ProcessGDBRemote to be able to set stdin, stdout, stderr, working
dir, disable ASLR and a few other settings down by using new GDB remote
packets. This allows us to keep all of our current launch flags and settings
intact and still be able to communicate them over to the remote GDB server.
Previously these were being sent as arguments to the debugserver binary that
we were spawning. Also modified ProcessGDBRemote to handle losing connection
to the remote GDB server and always exit immediately. We do this by watching
the lldb_private::Communication event bit for the read thread exiting in the
ProcessGDBRemote async thread.
Added support for many of the new 'Q' packets for setting stdin, stdout,
stderr, working dir and disable ASLR to the GDBRemoteCommunication class for
easy accesss.
Modified debugserver for all of the new 'Q' packets and also made it so that
debugserver always exists if it loses connection with the remote debugger.

Targets can now specify some additional parameters for when we debug
executables that can help with plug-in selection:
target.execution-level = auto | user | kernel
target.execution-mode = auto | dynamic | static
target.execution-os-type = auto | none | halted | live
On some systems, the binaries that are created are the same wether you use
them to debug a kernel, or a user space program. Many times inspecting an
object file can reveal what an executable should be. For these cases we can
now be a little more complete by specifying wether to detect all of these
things automatically (inspect the main executable file and select a plug-in
accordingly), or manually to force the selection of certain plug-ins.
To do this we now allow the specficifation of wether one is debugging a user
space program (target.execution-level = user) or a kernel program
(target.execution-level = kernel).
We can also specify if we want to debug a program where shared libraries
are dynamically loaded using a DynamicLoader plug-in
(target.execution-mode = dynamic), or wether we will treat all symbol files
as already linked at the correct address (target.execution-mode = static).
We can also specify if the inferior we are debugging is being debugged on
a bare board (target.execution-os-type = none), or debugging an OS where
we have a JTAG or other direct connection to the inferior stops the entire
OS (target.execution-os-type = halted), or if we are debugging a program on
something that has live debug services (target.execution-os-type = live).
For the "target.execution-os-type = halted" mode, we will need to create
ProcessHelper plug-ins that allow us to extract the process/thread and other
OS information by reading/writing memory.
This should allow LLDB to be used for a wide variety of debugging tasks and
handle them all correctly.

it should live and the lldb_private::Process takes care of managing the
auto pointer to the dynamic loader instance.
Also, now that the ArchSpec contains the target triple, we are able to
correctly set the Target architecture in DidLaunch/DidAttach in the subclasses,
and then the lldb_private::Process will find the dynamic loader plug-in
by letting the dynamic loader plug-ins inspect the arch/triple in the target.
So now the ProcessGDBRemote plug-in is another step closer to be purely
process/platform agnostic.
I updated the ProcessMacOSX and the ProcessLinux plug-ins accordingly.
llvm-svn: 125650
now, in addition to cpu type/subtype and architecture flavor, contains:
- byte order (big endian, little endian)
- address size in bytes
- llvm::Triple for true target triple support and for more powerful plug-in
selection.

(lldb) process connect <remote-url>
Currently when you specify a file with the file command it helps us to find
a process plug-in that is suitable for debugging. If you specify a file you
can rely upon this to find the correct debugger plug-in:
% lldb a.out
Current executable set to 'a.out' (x86_64).
(lldb) process connect connect://localhost:2345
...
If you don't specify a file, you will need to specify the plug-in name that
you wish to use:
% lldb
(lldb) process connect --plugin process.gdb-remote connect://localhost:2345
Other connection URL examples:
(lldb) process connect connect://localhost:2345
(lldb) process connect tcp://127.0.0.1
(lldb) process connect file:///dev/ttyS1
We are currently treating the "connect://host:port" as a way to do raw socket
connections. If there is a URL for this already, please let me know and we
will adopt it.
So now you can connect to a remote debug server with the ProcessGDBRemote
plug-in. After connection, it will ask for the pid info using the "qC" packet
and if it responds with a valid process ID, it will be equivalent to attaching.
If it response with an error or invalid process ID, the LLDB process will be
in a new state: eStateConnected. This allows us to then download a program or
specify the program to run (using the 'A' packet), or specify a process to
attach to (using the "vAttach" packets), or query info about the processes
that might be available.
