Summary:
We still have some leftovers of the old completion API in the internals of
LLDB that haven't been replaced by the new CompletionRequest. These leftovers
are:
* The return values (int/size_t) in all completion functions.
* Our result array that starts indexing at 1.
* `WordComplete` mode.
I didn't replace them back then because it's tricky to figure out what exactly they
are used for and the completion code is relatively untested. I finally got around
to writing more tests for the API and understanding the semantics, so I think it's
a good time to get rid of them.
A few words why those things should be removed/replaced:
* The return values are really cryptic, partly redundant and rarely documented.
They are also completely ignored by Xcode, so whatever information they contain will end up
breaking Xcode's completion mechanism. They are also partly impossible to even implement
as we assign negative values special meaning and our completion API sometimes returns size_t.
Completion functions are supposed to return -2 to rewrite the current line. We seem to use this
in some untested code path to expand the history repeat character to the full command, but
I haven't figured out why that doesn't work at the moment.
Completion functions return -1 to 'insert the completion character', but that isn't implemented
(even though we seem to activate this feature in LLDB sometimes).
All positive values have to match the number of results. This is obviously just redundant information
as the user can just look at the result list to get that information (which is what Xcode does).
* The result array that starts indexing at 1 is obviously unexpected. The first element of the array is
reserved for the common prefix of all completions (e.g. "foobar" and "footar" -> "foo"). The idea is
that we calculate this to make the life of the API caller easier, but obviously forcing people to have
1-based indices is not helpful (or even worse, forces them to manually copy the results to make it
0-based like Xcode has to do).
* The `WordComplete` mode indicates that LLDB should enter a space behind the completion. The
idea is that we let the top-level API know that we just provided a full completion. Interestingly we
`WordComplete` is just a single bool that somehow represents all N completions. And we always
provide full completions in LLDB, so in theory it should always be true.
The only use it currently serves is providing redundant information about whether we have a single
definitive completion or not (which we already know from the number of results we get).
This patch essentially removes `WordComplete` mode and makes the result array indexed from 0.
It also removes all return values from all internal completion functions. The only non-redundant information
they contain is about rewriting the current line (which is broken), so that functionality was moved
to the CompletionRequest API. So you can now do `addCompletion("blub", "description", CompletionMode::RewriteLine)`
to do the same.
For the SB API we emulate the old behaviour by making the array indexed from 1 again with the common
prefix at index 0. I didn't keep the special negative return codes as we either never sent them before (e.g. -2) or we
didn't even implement them in the Editline handler (e.g. -1).
I tried to keep this patch minimal and I'm aware we can probably now even further simplify a bunch of related code,
but I would prefer doing this in follow-up NFC commits

Originally I wanted to remove the RegularExpression class in Utility and
replace it with llvm::Regex. However, during that transition I noticed
that there are several places where need the regular expression string.
So instead I propose to keep the RegularExpression class and make it a
thin wrapper around llvm::Regex.
This patch also removes the workaround for empty regular expressions.
The result is that we are now (more or less) POSIX conformant.

Summary:
Right now our CommandOptions.inc only generates the initializer for the options list but
not the array declaration boilerplate around it. As the array definition is identical for all arrays,
we might as well also let the CommandOptions.inc generate it alongside the initializers.
This patch will also allow us to generate additional declarations related to that option list in
the future (e.g. a enum class representing the specific options which would make our
handling code less prone).
This patch also fixes a few option tables that didn't follow our naming style.

This is part two of the change started in r359330. This patch moves the
ownership of the script interpreter from the command interpreter into
the debugger. I would've preferred to remove the lazy initialization,
however the fact that the scripting language is set after the debugger
is created makes that tricky. So for now this does exactly the same
thing as when it was under the command interpreter. The result is that
this patch is fully NFC.

A lot of comments in LLDB are surrounded by an ASCII line to delimit the
begging and end of the comment.
Its use is not really consistent across the code base, sometimes the
lines are longer, sometimes they are shorter and sometimes they are
omitted. Furthermore, it looks kind of weird with the 80 column limit,
where the comment actually extends past the line, but not by much.
Furthermore, when /// is used for Doxygen comments, it looks
particularly odd. And when // is used, it incorrectly gives the
impression that it's actually a Doxygen comment.
I assume these lines were added to improve distinguishing between
comments and code. However, given that todays editors and IDEs do a
great job at highlighting comments, I think it's worth to drop this for
the sake of consistency. The alternative is fixing all the
inconsistencies, which would create a lot more churn.

We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header

Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM

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).

Summary:
We currently allow any completion handler to read and manipulate the list of matches we
calculated so far. This leads to a few problems:
Firstly, a completion handler's logic can now depend on previously calculated results
by another handlers. No completion handler should have such an implicit dependency,
but the current API makes it likely that this could happen (or already happens). Especially
the fact that some completion handler deleted all previously calculated results can mess
things up right now.
Secondly, all completion handlers have knowledge about our internal data structures with
this API. This makes refactoring this internal data structure much harder than it should be.
Especially planned changes like the support of descriptions for completions are currently
giant patches because we have to refactor every single completion handler.
This patch narrows the contract the CompletionRequest has with the different handlers to:
1. A handler can suggest a completion.
2. A handler can ask how many suggestions we already have.
Point 2 obviously means we still have a dependency left between the different handlers, but
getting rid of this is too large to just append it to this patch.
Otherwise this patch just completely hides the internal StringList to the different handlers.
The CompletionRequest API now also ensures that the list of completions is unique and we
don't suggest the same value multiple times to the user. This property has been so far only
been ensured by the `Option` handler, but is now applied globally. This is part of this patch
as the OptionHandler is no longer able to implement this functionality itself.

Summary:
As suggested in D48796, this patch replaces even more internal calls that were using the old
completion API style with a single CompletionRequest. In some cases we also pass an option
vector/index, but as we don't always have this information, it currently is not part of the
CompletionRequest class.
The constructor of the CompletionRequest is now also more sensible. You only pass the
user input, cursor position and your list of matches to the request and the rest will be
inferred (using the same code we used before to calculate this). You also have to pass these
match window parameters to it, even though they are unused right now.
The patch shouldn't change any behavior.

Summary:
This patch refactors the internal completion API. It now takes (as far as possible) a single
CompletionRequest object instead o half a dozen in/out/in-out parameters. The CompletionRequest
contains a common superset of the different parameters as far as it makes sense. This includes
the raw command line string and raw cursor position, which should make the `expr` command
possible to implement (at least without hacks that reconstruct the command line from the args).
This patch is not intended to change the observable behavior of lldb in any way. It's also as
minimal as possible and doesn't attempt to fix all the problems the API has.
Some Q&A:
Q: Why is this not fixing all the problems in the completion API?
A: Because is a blocker for the expr command completion which I want to get in ASAP. This is the
smallest patch that unblocks the expr completion patch and which allows trivial refactoring in the future.
The patch also doesn't really change the internal information flow in the API, so that hopefully
saves us from ever having to revert and resubmit this humongous patch.
Q: Can we merge all the copy-pasted code in the completion methods
(like computing the current incomplete arg) into CompletionRequest class?
A: Yes, but it's out of scope for this patch.
Q: Why the `word_complete = request.GetWordComplete(); ... ` pattern?
A: I don't want to add a getter that returns a reference to the internal integer. So we have
to use a temporary variable and the Getter/Setter instead. We don't throw exceptions
from what I can tell, so the behavior doesn't change.
Q: Why are we not owning the list of matches?
A: Because that's how the previous API works. But that should be fixed too (in another patch).
Q: Can we make the constructor simpler and compute some of the values from the plain command?
A: I think this works, but I rather want to have this in a follow up commit. Especially when making nested
request it's a bit awkward that the parsed arguments behave as both input/output (as we should in theory
propagate the changes on the nested request back to the parent request if we don't want to change the
behavior too much).
Q: Can't we pass one const request object and then just return another result object instead of mixing
them together in one in/out parameter?
A: It's hard to get keep the same behavior with that pattern, but I think we can also get a nice API with just
a single request object. If we make all input parameters read-only, we have a clear separation between what
is actually an input and what an output parameter (and hopefully we get rid of the in-out parameters).
Q: Can we throw out the 'match' variables that are not implemented according to the comment?
A: We currently just forward them as in the old code to the different methods, even though I think
they are really not used. We can easily remove and readd them once every single completion method just
takes a CompletionRequest, but for now I prefer NFC behavior from the perspective of the API user.

Summary:
The Args class is used in plenty of places besides the command
interpreter (e.g., anything requiring an argc+argv combo, such as when
launching a process), so it needs to be in a lower layer. Now that the
class has no external dependencies, it can be moved down to the Utility
module.
This removes the last (direct) dependency from the Host module to
Interpreter, so I remove the Interpreter module from Host's dependency
list.

A change of this magnitude cannot easily be done without

The goal here is to get lldbUtility into a state where it has

starting point at which to start untangling LLDB's dependencies.
These are all low level and very widely used classes, and
previously lldbUtility had dependencies up to lldbCore in order
to use these classes. So moving then down to lldbUtility makes
sense from both the short term and long term perspective in
solving this problem.

This change is very mechanical. All it does is change the
signature of `Options::GetDefinitions()` and `OptionGroup::
GetDefinitions()` to return an `ArrayRef<OptionDefinition>`
instead of a `const OptionDefinition *`. In the case of the
former, it deletes the sentinel entry from every table, and
in the case of the latter, it removes the `GetNumDefinitions()`
method from the interface. These are no longer necessary as
`ArrayRef` carries its own length.
In the former case, iteration was done by using a sentinel
entry, so there was no knowledge of length. Because of this
the individual option tables were allowed to be defined below
the corresponding class (after all, only a pointer was needed).
Now, however, the length must be known at compile time to
construct the `ArrayRef`, and as a result it is necessary to
move every option table before its corresponding class. This
results in this CL looking very big, but in terms of substance
there is not much here.

*** two obvious implications:
Firstly, merging this particular commit into a downstream fork may be a huge
effort. Alternatively, it may be worth merging all changes up to this commit,
performing the same reformatting operation locally, and then discarding the
merge for this particular commit. The commands used to accomplish this
reformatting were as follows (with current working directory as the root of
the repository):
find . \( -iname "*.c" -or -iname "*.cpp" -or -iname "*.h" -or -iname "*.mm" \) -exec clang-format -i {} +
find . -iname "*.py" -exec autopep8 --in-place --aggressive --aggressive {} + ;
The version of clang-format used was 3.9.0, and autopep8 was 1.2.4.
Secondly, “blame” style tools will generally point to this commit instead of
a meaningful prior commit. There are alternatives available that will attempt
to look through this change and find the appropriate prior commit. YMMV.

When a process stops due to a crash, we get the crashing instruction and the
crashing memory location (if there is one). From the user's perspective it is
often unclear what the reason for the crash is in a symbolic sense.
To address this, I have added new fuctionality to StackFrame to parse the
disassembly and reconstruct the sequence of dereferneces and offsets that were
applied to a known variable (or fuction retrn value) to obtain the invalid
pointer.
This makes use of enhancements in the disassembler, as well as new information
provided by the DWARF expression infrastructure, and is exposed through a
"frame diagnose" command. It is also used to provide symbolic information, when
available, in the event of a crash.
The algorithm is very rudimentary, and it needs a bunch of work, including
- better parsing for assembly, preferably with help from LLVM
- support for non-Apple platforms
- cleanup of the algorithm core, preferably to make it all work in terms of
Operands instead of register/offset pairs
- improvement of the GetExpressioPath() logic to make prettier expression
paths, and
- better handling of vtables.
I welcome all suggestios, improvements, and testcases.
