However, they also contain fallback logic that - in cases where LLDB can't recognize the specific subclass - actually does run code in order to inspect those objects.
The argument for this logic was that these data types are critical enough that the risk of getting it wrong is outweighed by the advantage of always providing accurate child information.
Practical experience however shows that "po" - a code running data-inspection command - is quite frequently used, and not considered burdensome by users.
As such, this makes the code-running fallback in the data formatters a risk that carries very little actual reward. Also, unlike the time this code was originally written, we now have accurate class information for Objective-C, and thus we are less likely to improperly identify classes.
This commit removes support for the code-running fallback, and aligns the data formatters for NSArray, NSDictionary and NSSet to the general no-code-running behavior of other data formatters.
While it is possible for us to add support for some subclasses that are now no longer covered by static inspection alone, this is beyond the scope of this commit.

This latter determination may or may not be possible on a per-language basis; and neither is mandatory to implement for any language
Use this knowledge in the ValueObjectPrinter to generalize the notion of IsObjCNil() and the respective printout

StackFrame * (StackFrame is an ExecutionContextScope.) That allows you to call an
expression on a particular Thread, but not using the context of any particular frame.
That in turn is useful for injecting utility functions that don't actually depend on
locals/self/etc of the current frame.
I also had to include StackFrame.h in a couple of places so the compiler knew
how to downcast StackFrame to ExecutionContextScope.

Introduce the notion of Language-based formatter prefix/suffix
This is meant for languages that share certain data types but present them in syntatically different ways, such that LLDB can now have language-based awareness of which of the syntax variations it has to present to the user when formatting those values
This is goodness for new languages and interoperability, but is NFC for existing languages. As such, existing tests cover this
llvm-svn: 249587
This is meant to support languages that can do some sort of bridging from<-->to these ObjC types via types that statically vend themselves as Cocoa types, but dynamically have an implementation that does not match any of our well-known types, but where an introspecting formatter can be vended by the bridged language

Currently, it only supports Objective-C - C++ types can be looked up through debug info via 'image lookup -t', whereas ObjC types via this command are looked up by runtime introspection
This behavior is in line with type lookup's behavior in Xcode 7, but I am definitely open to feedback as to what makes the most sense here

This cleans up type systems to be more pluggable. Prior to this we had issues:
- Module, SymbolFile, and many others has "ClangASTContext &GetClangASTContext()" functions. All have been switched over to use "TypeSystem *GetTypeSystemForLanguage()"
- Cleaned up any places that were using the GetClangASTContext() functions to use TypeSystem
- Cleaned up Module so that it no longer has dedicated type system member variables:
lldb::ClangASTContextUP m_ast; ///< The Clang AST context for this module.
lldb::GoASTContextUP m_go_ast; ///< The Go AST context for this module.
Now we have a type system map:
typedef std::map<lldb::LanguageType, lldb::TypeSystemSP> TypeSystemMap;
TypeSystemMap m_type_system_map; ///< A map of any type systems associated with this module
- Many places in code were using ClangASTContext static functions to place with CompilerType objects and add modifiers (const, volatile, restrict) and to make typedefs, L and R value references and more. These have been made into CompilerType functions that are abstract:
class CompilerType
{
...
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Return a new CompilerType that is a L value reference to this type if
// this type is valid and the type system supports L value references,
// else return an invalid type.
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
CompilerType
GetLValueReferenceType () const;
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Return a new CompilerType that is a R value reference to this type if
// this type is valid and the type system supports R value references,
// else return an invalid type.
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
CompilerType
GetRValueReferenceType () const;
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Return a new CompilerType adds a const modifier to this type if
// this type is valid and the type system supports const modifiers,
// else return an invalid type.
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
CompilerType
AddConstModifier () const;
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Return a new CompilerType adds a volatile modifier to this type if
// this type is valid and the type system supports volatile modifiers,
// else return an invalid type.
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
CompilerType
AddVolatileModifier () const;
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Return a new CompilerType adds a restrict modifier to this type if
// this type is valid and the type system supports restrict modifiers,
// else return an invalid type.
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
CompilerType
AddRestrictModifier () const;
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Create a typedef to this type using "name" as the name of the typedef
// this type is valid and the type system supports typedefs, else return
// an invalid type.
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
CompilerType
CreateTypedef (const char *name, const CompilerDeclContext &decl_ctx) const;
};
Other changes include:
- Removed "CompilerType TypeSystem::GetIntTypeFromBitSize(...)" and CompilerType TypeSystem::GetFloatTypeFromBitSize(...) and replaced it with "CompilerType TypeSystem::GetBuiltinTypeForEncodingAndBitSize(lldb::Encoding encoding, size_t bit_size);"
- Fixed code in Type.h to not request the full type for a type for no good reason, just request the forward type and let the type expand as needed

Before we had:
ClangFunction
ClangUtilityFunction
ClangUserExpression
and code all over in lldb that explicitly made Clang-based expressions. This patch adds an Expression
base class, and three pure virtual implementations for the Expression kinds:
FunctionCaller
UtilityFunction
UserExpression
You can request one of these expression types from the Target using the Get<ExpressionType>ForLanguage.
The Target will then consult all the registered TypeSystem plugins, and if the type system that matches
the language can make an expression of that kind, it will do so and return it.
Because all of the real expression types need to communicate with their ExpressionParser in a uniform way,
I also added a ExpressionTypeSystemHelper class that expressions generically can vend, and a ClangExpressionHelper
that encapsulates the operations that the ClangExpressionParser needs to perform on the ClangExpression types.
Then each of the Clang* expression kinds constructs the appropriate helper to do what it needs.
The patch also fixes a wart in the UtilityFunction that to use it you had to create a parallel FunctionCaller
to actually call the function made by the UtilityFunction. Now the UtilityFunction can be asked to vend a
FunctionCaller that will run its function. This cleaned up a lot of boiler plate code using UtilityFunctions.
Note, in this patch all the expression types explicitly depend on the LLVM JIT and IR, and all the common
JIT running code is in the FunctionCaller etc base classes. At some point we could also abstract that dependency
but I don't see us adding another back end in the near term, so I'll leave that exercise till it is actually necessary.

This used to be hardcoded in the FormatManager, but in a pluginized world that is not the right way to go
So, move this step to the Language plugin such that appropriate language plugins for a type get a say about adding candidates to the formatters lookup tables

Summary:
This doesn't exist in other LLVM projects any longer and doesn't
do anything.

The Language plugin is menat to answer language-specific questions that are not bound to the existence of a process. Those are still the domain of the LanguageRuntime plugin
The Language plugin will, instead, answer questions such as providing language-specific data formatters or expression evaluation
At the moment, the interface is hollowed out, and empty do-nothing plugins have been setup for ObjC, C++ and ObjC++
