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.

Historically, data formatters all exist in a global repository (the category map)
On top of that, some formatters can be "hardcoded" when the conditions under which they apply are not expressible as a typename (or typename regex)
This change paves the way to move formatters into per-language buckets such that the C++ plugin is responsible for ownership of the C++ formatters, and so on
The advantages of this are:
a) language formatters only get created when they might apply
b) formatters for a language are clearly owned by the matching language plugin
The current model is one of static instantiation, that is a language knows the full set of formatters it vends and that is only asked-for once, and then handed off to the FormatManager
In a future revision it might be interesting to add similar ability to the language runtimes, and monitor for certain shared library events to add even more library-specific formatters
No formatters are moved as part of this change, so practically speaking this is NFC

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++
