Summary:
Move breakpoints from the old, bad ArgInfo::count to the new, better
ArgInfo::max_positional_args. Soon ArgInfo::count will be no more.
It looks like this functionality is already well tested by
`TestBreakpointCommandsFromPython.py`, so there's no need to write
additional tests for it.

Move breakpoints from the old, bad ArgInfo::count to the new, better
ArgInfo::max_positional_args. Soon ArgInfo::count will be no more.
This functionality is tested in `TestFormatters.py`, `TestDataFormatterSynthVal.py`,
`TestDataFormatterSynthType.py`.
You may notice that the old code was passing 0 arguments when count was 1, and passing
1 argument when count is 2.
This is no longer necessary because max_positional_args counts the self pointer
correctly.

For example, it is pretty easy to write a breakpoint command that implements "stop when my caller is Foo", and
it is pretty easy to write a breakpoint command that implements "stop when my caller is Bar". But there's no
way to write a generic "stop when my caller is..." function, and then specify the caller when you add the
command to a breakpoint.
With this patch, you can pass this data in a SBStructuredData dictionary. That will get stored in
the PythonCommandBaton for the breakpoint, and passed to the implementation function (if it has the right
signature) when the breakpoint is hit. Then in lldb, you can say:
(lldb) break com add -F caller_is -k caller_name -v Foo
More generally this will allow us to write reusable Python breakpoint commands.

With this patch, only the no-argument form of `Reset()` remains in
PythonDataObjects. It also deletes PythonExceptionState in favor of
PythonException, because the only call-site of PythonExceptionState was
also using Reset, so I cleaned up both while I was there.

Summary:
When users define a debugger command from python, they provide a callable
object. Because the signature of the function has been extended, LLDB
needs to inspect the number of parameters the callable can take.
The rule it was using to decide was weird, apparently not tested, and
giving wrong results for some kinds of python callables.
This patch replaces the weird rule with a simple one: if the callable can
take 5 arguments, it gets the 5 argument version of the signature.
Otherwise it gets the old 4 argument version.
It also adds tests with a bunch of different kinds of python callables
with both 4 and 5 arguments.

I was writing an SB API client and it was crashing on:
bool DoExecute(SBDebugger dbg, char **command, SBCommandReturnObject &result) {
result = subcommand(dbg, "help");
That is because SBCommandReturnObject &result gets initialized inside LLDB by:
bool DoExecute(Args &command, CommandReturnObject &result) override {
// std::unique_ptr gets initialized here from `&result`!!!
SBCommandReturnObject sb_return(&result);
DoExecute(...);

This patch introduces a concept of "frame recognizer" and "recognized frame". This should be an extensible mechanism that retrieves information about special frames based on ABI, arguments or other special properties of that frame, even without source code. A few examples where that could be useful could be 1) objc_exception_throw, where we'd like to get the current exception, 2) terminate_with_reason and extracting the current terminate string, 3) recognizing Objective-C frames and automatically extracting the receiver+selector, or perhaps all arguments (based on selector).

This finishes the effort to port python-wrapper.swig code over to
using PythonDataObjects.
Also included in this patch is the removal of `PyCallable` from
`python-wrapper.swig`, as it is no longer used after having been
replaced by `PythonCallable` everywhere.
There might be additional cleanup as followup patches, but it should
be all fairly simple and minor.
llvm-svn: 252939
PyCallable is a class that exists solely within the swig wrapper
code. PythonCallable is a more generic implementation of the same
idea that can be used by any Python-related interop code, and lives
in PythonDataObjects.h
The CL is mostly mechanical, and it doesn't cover every possible
user of PyCallable, because I want to minimize the impact of this
change (as well as making it easier to figure out what went wrong
in case this causes a failure). I plan to finish up the rest of
the changes in a subsequent patch, culminating in the removal of
PyCallable entirely.

Relying on manual Python C API calls is error prone, especially
when trying to maintain compatibility with Python 2 and Python 3.
This patch additionally fixes what appears to be a potentially
serious memory leak, in that were were incref'ing two values
returned from the session dictionary but never decref'ing them.
There was a comment indicating that it was intentional, but the
reasoning was, I believe, faulty and it resulted in a legitimate
memory leak.
Switching everything to PythonObject based classes solves both
the compatibility issues as well as the resource leak issues.

Summary:
Along with this, support for an optional argument to the "num_children"
method of a Python synthetic child provider has also been added. These have
been added with the following use case in mind:
Synthetic child providers currently have a method "has_children" and
"num_children". While the former is good enough to know if there are
children, it does not give any insight into how many children there are.
Though the latter serves this purpose, calculating the number for children
of a data structure could be an O(N) operation if the data structure has N
children. The new method added in this change provide a middle ground.
One can call GetNumChildren(K) to know if a child exists at an index K
which can be as large as the callers tolerance can be. If the caller wants
to know about children beyond K, it can make an other call with 2K. If the
synthetic child provider maintains state about it counting till K
previosly, then the next call is only an O(K) operation. Infact, all
calls made progressively with steps of K will be O(K) operations.

This works by creating a command backed by a class whose interface should - at least - include
def __init__(self, debugger, session_dict)
def __call__(self, args, return_obj, exe_ctx)
What works:
- adding a command via command script add --class
- calling a thusly created command
What is missing:
- support for custom help
- test cases
The missing parts will follow over the next couple of days
This is an improvement over the existing system as:
a) it provides an obvious location for commands to provide help strings (i.e. methods)
b) it allows commands to store state in an obvious fashion
c) it allows us to easily add features to script commands over time (option parsing and subcommands registration, I am looking at you :-)

This works similarly to the {thread/frame/process/target.script:...} feature - you write a summary string, part of which is
${var.script:someFuncName}
someFuncName is expected to be declared as
def someFuncName(SBValue,otherArgument) - essentially the same as a summary function
Since . -> [] are the only allowed separators, and % is used for custom formatting, .script: would not be a legitimate symbol anyway, which makes this non-ambiguous

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

and to view the current thread plan stack and to some extent alter it.
I haven't gotten to documentation or tests yet. But this should not cause any behavior changes
if you don't use it, so its safe to check it in now and work on it incrementally.

PyTuple_SetItem steals a reference to the item it inserts in the tuple
This, plus the Py_XDECREF of the tuple a few lines below, causes our session dictionary to go away after the first time a SWIG layer function is called - with disastrous effects for the first subsequent attempt to use any functionality in ScriptInterpreterPython
This fixes it
llvm-svn: 200429
The many many benefits include:
1 - Input/Output/Error streams are now handled as real streams not a push style input
2 - auto completion in python embedded interpreter
3 - multi-line input for "script" and "expression" commands now allow you to edit previous/next lines using up and down arrow keys and this makes multi-line input actually a viable thing to use
4 - it is now possible to use curses to drive LLDB (please try the "gui" command)
We will need to deal with and fix any buildbot failures and tests and arise now that input/output and error are correctly hooked up in all cases.

pure virtual base class and made StackFrame a subclass of that. As
I started to build on top of that arrangement today, I found that it

the single StackFrame class -- there's too much code duplication to
make a more complicated class hierarchy sensible I think.

defines a protocol that all subclasses will implement. StackFrame
is currently the only subclass and the methods that Frame vends are
nearly identical to StackFrame's old methods.
Update all callers to use Frame*/Frame& instead of pointers to
StackFrames.
This is almost entirely a mechanical change that touches a lot of
the code base so I'm committing it alone. No new functionality is
added with this patch, no new subclasses of Frame exist yet.
I'll probably need to tweak some of the separation, possibly moving
some of StackFrame's methods up in to Frame, but this is a good
starting point.

When debugging with the GDB remote in LLDB, LLDB uses special packets to discover the
registers on the remote server. When those packets aren't supported, LLDB doesn't
know what the registers look like. This checkin implements a setting that can be used
to specify a python file that contains the registers definitions. The setting is:
(lldb) settings set plugin.process.gdb-remote.target-definition-file /path/to/module.py
Inside module there should be a function:
def get_dynamic_setting(target, setting_name):
This dynamic setting function is handed the "target" which is a SBTarget, and the
"setting_name", which is the name of the dynamic setting to retrieve. For the GDB
remote target definition the setting name is 'gdb-server-target-definition'. The
return value is a dictionary that follows the same format as the OperatingSystem
plugins follow. I have checked in an example file that implements the x86_64 GDB
register set for people to see:
examples/python/x86_64_target_definition.py
This allows LLDB to debug to any archticture that is support and allows users to
define the registers contexts when the discovery packets (qRegisterInfo, qHostInfo)
are not supported by the remote GDB server.
A few benefits of doing this in Python:
1 - The dynamic register context was already supported in the OperatingSystem plug-in
2 - Register contexts can use all of the LLDB enumerations and definitions for things
like lldb::Format, lldb::Encoding, generic register numbers, invalid registers
numbers, etc.
3 - The code that generates the register context can use the program to calculate the
register context contents (like offsets, register numbers, and more)
4 - True dynamic detection could be used where variables and types could be read from
the target program itself in order to determine which registers are available since
the target is passed into the python function.
This is designed to be used instead of XML since it is more dynamic and code flow and
functions can be used to make the dictionary.
llvm-svn: 192646
This is implemented by means of a get_dynamic_setting(target, setting_name) function vended by the Python module, which can respond to arbitrary string names with dynamically constructed
settings objects (most likely, some of those that PythonDataObjects supports) for LLDB to parse
This needs to be hooked up to the debugger via some setting to allow users to specify which module will vend the information they want to supply

Summary:
This merge brings in the improved 'platform' command that knows how to
interface with remote machines; that is, query OS/kernel information, push
and pull files, run shell commands, etc... and implementation for the new
communication packets that back that interface, at least on Darwin based
operating systems via the POSIXPlatform class. Linux support is coming soon.
Verified the test suite runs cleanly on Linux (x86_64), build OK on Mac OS
X Mountain Lion.
Additional improvements (not in the source SVN branch 'lldb-platform-work'):
- cmake build scripts for lldb-platform
- cleanup test suite
- documentation stub for qPlatform_RunCommand
- use log class instead of printf() directly
- reverted work-in-progress-looking changes from test/types/TestAbstract.py that work towards running the test suite remotely.
- add new logging category 'platform'
