variables prior to running your binary. Zero filled sections now get
section data correctly filled with zeroes when Target::ReadMemory
reads from the object file section data.
Added new option groups and option values for file lists. I still need
to hook up all of the options to "target variable" to allow more complete
introspection by file and shlib.
Added the ability for ValueObjectVariable objects to be created with
only the target as the execution context. This allows them to be read
from the object files through Target::ReadMemory(...).
Added a "virtual Module * GetModule()" function to the ValueObject
class. By default it will look to the parent variable object and
return its module. The module is needed when we have global variables
that have file addresses (virtual addresses that are specific to
module object files) and in turn allows global variables to be displayed
prior to running.
Removed all of the unused proxy object support that bit rotted in
lldb_private::Value.
Replaced a lot of places that used "FileSpec::Compare (lhs, rhs) == 0" code
with the more efficient "FileSpec::Equal (lhs, rhs)".
Improved logging in GDB remote plug-in.

level in the public API.
Also modified the ValueObject values to be able to display global variables
without having a valid running process. The globals will read themselves from
the object file section data if there is no process, and from the process if
there is one.
Also fixed an issue where modifications for dynamic types could cause child
values of ValueObjects to not show up if the value was unable to evaluate
itself (children of NULL pointer objects).

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

the way LLDB lazily gets complete definitions for types within the debug info.
When we run across a class/struct/union definition in the DWARF, we will only
parse the full definition if we need to. This works fine for top level types
that are assigned directly to variables and arguments, but when we have a
variable with a class, lets say "A" for this example, that has a member:
"B *m_b". Initially we don't need to hunt down a definition for this class
unless we are ever asked to do something with it ("expr m_b->getDecl()" for
example). With my previous approach to lazy type completion, we would be able
to take a "A *a" and get a complete type for it, but we wouldn't be able to
then do an "a->m_b->getDecl()" unless we always expanded all types within a
class prior to handing out the type. Expanding everything is very costly and
it would be great if there were a better way.
A few months ago I worked with the llvm/clang folks to have the
ExternalASTSource class be able to complete classes if there weren't completed
yet:
class ExternalASTSource {
....
virtual void
CompleteType (clang::TagDecl *Tag);
virtual void
CompleteType (clang::ObjCInterfaceDecl *Class);
};
This was great, because we can now have the class that is producing the AST
(SymbolFileDWARF and SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap) sign up as external AST sources
and the object that creates the forward declaration types can now also
complete them anywhere within the clang type system.
This patch makes a few major changes:
- lldb_private::Module classes now own the AST context. Previously the TypeList
objects did.
- The DWARF parsers now sign up as an external AST sources so they can complete
types.
- All of the pure clang type system wrapper code we have in LLDB (ClangASTContext,
ClangASTType, and more) can now be iterating through children of any type,
and if a class/union/struct type (clang::RecordType or ObjC interface)
is found that is incomplete, we can ask the AST to get the definition.
- The SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap class now will create and use a single AST that
all child SymbolFileDWARF classes will share (much like what happens when
we have a complete linked DWARF for an executable).
We will need to modify some of the ClangUserExpression code to take more
advantage of this completion ability in the near future. Meanwhile we should
be better off now that we can be accessing any children of variables through
pointers and always be able to resolve the clang type if needed.

RegisterContext* - normally this is retrieved from the ExecutionContext's
StackFrame but when we need to evaluate an expression while creating
the stack frame list this can be a little tricky.
Add DW_OP_deref_size, needed for the _sigtramp FDE expression.
Add support for processing DWARF expressions in RegisterContextLLDB.
Update callers to DWARFExpression::Evaluate.

cases when getting the clang type:
- need only a forward declaration
- need a clang type that can be used for layout (members and args/return types)
- need a full clang type
This allows us to partially parse the clang types and be as lazy as possible.
The first case is when we just need to declare a type and we will complete it
later. The forward declaration happens only for class/union/structs and enums.
The layout type allows us to resolve the full clang type _except_ if we have
any modifiers on a pointer or reference (both R and L value). In this case
when we are adding members or function args or return types, we only need to
know how the type will be laid out and we can defer completing the pointee
type until we later need it. The last type means we need a full definition for
the clang type.
Did some renaming of some enumerations to get rid of the old "DC" prefix (which
stands for DebugCore which is no longer around).
Modified the clang namespace support to be almost ready to be fed to the
expression parser. I made a new ClangNamespaceDecl class that can carry around
the AST and the namespace decl so we can copy it into the expression AST. I
modified the symbol vendor and symbol file plug-ins to use this new class.

debug information and you evaluated an expression, a crash would occur as a
result of an unchecked pointer.
Added the ability to get the expression path for a ValueObject. For a rectangle
point child "x" the expression path would be something like: "rect.top_left.x".
This will allow GUI and command lines to get ahold of the expression path for
a value object without having to explicitly know about the hierarchy. This
means the ValueObject base class now has a "ValueObject *m_parent;" member.
All ValueObject subclasses now correctly track their lineage and are able
to provide value expression paths as well.
Added a new "--flat" option to the "frame variable" to allow for flat variable
output. An example of the current and new outputs:
(lldb) frame variable
argc = 1
argv = 0x00007fff5fbffe80
pt = {
x = 2
y = 3
}
rect = {
bottom_left = {
x = 1
y = 2
}
top_right = {
x = 3
y = 4
}
}
(lldb) frame variable --flat
argc = 1
argv = 0x00007fff5fbffe80
pt.x = 2
pt.y = 3
rect.bottom_left.x = 1
rect.bottom_left.y = 2
rect.top_right.x = 3
rect.top_right.y = 4
As you can see when there is a lot of hierarchy it can help flatten things out.
Also if you want to use a member in an expression, you can copy the text from
the "--flat" output and not have to piece it together manually. This can help
when you want to use parts of the STL in expressions:
(lldb) frame variable --flat
argc = 1
argv = 0x00007fff5fbffea8
hello_world._M_dataplus._M_p = 0x0000000000000000
(lldb) expr hello_world._M_dataplus._M_p[0] == '\0'
llvm-svn: 116532
adding methods to C++ and objective C classes. In order to make methods, we
need the function prototype which means we need the arguments. Parsing these
could cause a circular reference that caused an assertion.
Added a new typedef for the clang opaque types which are just void pointers:
lldb::clang_type_t. This appears in lldb-types.h.
This was fixed by enabling struct, union, class, and enum types to only get
a forward declaration when we make the clang opaque qual type for these
types. When they need to actually be resolved, lldb_private::Type will call
a new function in the SymbolFile protocol to resolve a clang type when it is
not fully defined (clang::TagDecl::getDefinition() returns NULL). This allows
us to be a lot more lazy when parsing clang types and keeps down the amount
of data that gets parsed into the ASTContext for each module.
Getting the clang type from a "lldb_private::Type" object now takes a boolean
that indicates if a forward declaration is ok:
clang_type_t lldb_private::Type::GetClangType (bool forward_decl_is_ok);
So function prototypes that define parameters that are "const T&" can now just
parse the forward declaration for type 'T' and we avoid circular references in
the type system.

debug map showed that the location lists in the .o files needed some
refactoring in order to work. The case that was failing was where a function
that was in the "__TEXT.__textcoal_nt" in the .o file, and in the
"__TEXT.__text" section in the main executable. This made symbol lookup fail
due to the way we were finding a real address in the debug map which was
by finding the section that the function was in in the .o file and trying to
find this in the main executable. Now the section list supports finding a
linked address in a section or any child sections. After fixing this, we ran
into issue that were due to DWARF and how it represents locations lists.
DWARF makes a list of address ranges and expressions that go along with those
address ranges. The location addresses are expressed in terms of a compile
unit address + offset. This works fine as long as nothing moves around. When
stuff moves around and offsets change between the remapped compile unit base
address and the new function address, then we can run into trouble. To deal
with this, we now store supply a location list slide amount to any location
list expressions that will allow us to make the location list addresses into
zero based offsets from the object that owns the location list (always a
function in our case).
With these fixes we can now re-link random address ranges inside the debugger
for use with our DWARF + debug map, incremental linking, and more.
Another issue that arose when doing the DWARF in the .o files was that GCC
4.2 emits a ".debug_aranges" that only mentions functions that are externally
visible. This makes .debug_aranges useless to us and we now generate a real
address range lookup table in the DWARF parser at the same time as we index
the name tables (that are needed because .debug_pubnames is just as useless).
llvm-gcc doesn't generate a .debug_aranges section, though this could be
fixed, we aren't going to rely upon it.
Renamed a bunch of "UINT_MAX" to "UINT32_MAX".

no elements so that they at least have 1 element.
Added the ability to show the declaration location of variables to the
"frame variables" with the "--show-declaration" option ("-c" for short).
Changed the "frame variables" command over to use the value object code
so that we use the same code path as the public API does when accessing and
displaying variable values.

function statics, file globals and static variables) that a frame contains.
The StackFrame objects can give out ValueObjects instances for
each variable which allows us to track when a variable changes and doesn't
depend on variable names when getting value objects.
StackFrame::GetVariableList now takes a boolean to indicate if we want to
get the frame compile unit globals and static variables.
The value objects in the stack frames can now correctly track when they have
been modified. There are a few more tweaks needed to complete this work. The
biggest issue is when stepping creates partial stacks (just frame zero usually)
and causes previous stack frames not to match up with the current stack frames
because the previous frames only has frame zero. We don't really want to
require that all previous frames be complete since stepping often must check
stack frames to complete their jobs. I will fix this issue tomorrow.
