We are introducing a new Logger class on the Python side. This has the same purpose, but is unrelated, to the C++ logging facility
The Pythonic logging can be enabled by using the following scripting commands:
(lldb) script Logger._lldb_formatters_debug_level = {0,1,2,...}
0 = no logging
1 = do log
2 = flush after logging each line - slower but safer
3 or more = each time a Logger is constructed, log the function that has created it
more log levels may be added, each one being more log-active than the previous
by default, the log output will come out on your screen, to direct it to a file:
(lldb) script Logger._lldb_formatters_debug_filename = 'filename'
that will make the output go to the file - set to None to disable the file output and get screen logging back
Logging has been enabled for the C++ STL formatters and for Cocoa class NSData - more logging will follow
synthetic children providers for classes list and map (both libstdcpp and libcxx) now have internal capping for safety reasons
this will fix crashers where a malformed list or map would not ever meet our termination conditions
to set the cap to a different value:
(lldb) script {gnu_libstdcpp|libcxx}.{map|list}_capping_size = new_cap (by default, it is 255)
you can optionally disable the loop detection algorithm for lists
(lldb) script {gnu_libstdcpp|libcxx}.list_uses_loop_detector = False

A new setting enable-synthetic-value is provided on the target to disable this behavior.
There also is a new GetNonSyntheticValue() API call on SBValue to go back from synthetic to non-synthetic. There is no call to go from non-synthetic to synthetic.
The test suite has been changed accordingly.
Fallout from changes to type searching: an hack has to be played to make it possible to use maps that contain std::string due to the special name replacement operated by clang
Fixing a test case that was using libstdcpp instead of libc++ - caught as a consequence of said changes to type searching

Changes to synthetic children:
- the update(self): function can now (optionally) return a value - if it returns boolean value True, ValueObjectSyntheticFilter will not clear its caches across stop-points
this should allow better performance for Python-based synthetic children when one can be sure that the child ValueObjects have not changed
- making a difference between a synthetic VO and a VO with a synthetic value: now a ValueObjectSyntheticFilter will not return itself as its own synthetic value, but will (correctly)
claim to itself be synthetic
- cleared up the internal synthetic children architecture to make a more consistent use of pointers and references instead of shared pointers when possible
- major cleanup of unnecessary #include, data and functions in ValueObjectSyntheticFilter itself
- removed the SyntheticValueType enum and replaced it with a plain boolean (to which it was equivalent in the first place)
Some clean ups to the summary generation code
Centralized the code that clears out user-visible strings and data in ValueObject
More efficient summaries for libc++ containers
llvm-svn: 153061
std::string has a summary provider
std::vector std::list and std::map have both a summary and a synthetic children provider
Given the usage of a custom namespace (std::__1::classname) for the implementation of libc++, we keep both libstdcpp and libc++ formatters enabled at the same time since that raises no conflicts and enabled for seamless transition between the two
The formatters for libc++ reside in a libcxx category, and are loaded from libcxx.py (to be found in examples/synthetic)
The formatters-stl test cases have been divided to be separate for libcxx and libstdcpp. This separation is necessary because
(a) we need different compiler flags for libc++ than for libstdcpp
(b) libc++ inlines a lot more than libstdcpp and some code changes were required to accommodate this difference
