ELF notes contain a 'name' field, which specifies a vendor who defines
the format of the note. Examples are 'FreeBSD' or 'GNU', or it may be
empty for generic notes.
Add a case for FreeBSD-specific notes, leaving Linux and GNU notes,
other vendor-specific notes, and generic notes to be handled by the
existing code for now.
Thanks to Samuel Jacob for reviewing and suggesting improvements.

plan providers from a "ThreadPlan *" to a "lldb::ThreadPlanSP". That was needed to fix
a bug where the ThreadPlanStepInRange wasn't checking with its sub-plans to make sure they
succeed before trying to proceed further. If the sub-plan failed and as a result didn't make
any progress, you could end up retrying the same failing algorithm in an infinite loop.

Added a setting to control timeout for kdp response packets. While I was at it, I also added a way to control the response timeout for gdb-remote packets.
KDP defaults to 5 seconds, and GDB defaults to 1 second. These were the default values that were in the code prior to adding these settings.

- MachO files now correctly extract the UUID all the time
- More file size and offset verification done for universal mach-o files to watch for truncated files
- ObjectContainerBSDArchive now supports enumerating all objects in BSD archives (.a files)
- lldb_private::Module() can not be properly constructed using a ModuleSpec for a .o file in a .a file
- The BSD archive plug-in shares its cache for GetModuleSpecifications() and the create callback
- Improved printing for ModuleSpec objects

A long time ago we start with clang types that were created by the symbol files and there were many functions in lldb_private::ClangASTContext that helped. Later we create ClangASTType which contains a clang::ASTContext and an opauque QualType, but we didn't switch over to fully using it. There were a lot of places where we would pass around a raw clang_type_t and also pass along a clang::ASTContext separately. This left room for error.
This checkin change all type code over to use ClangASTType everywhere and I cleaned up the interfaces quite a bit. Any code that was in ClangASTContext that was type related, was moved over into ClangASTType. All code that used these types was switched over to use all of the new goodness.

- ObjectFile::GetSymtab() and ObjectFile::ClearSymtab() no longer takes any flags
- Module coordinates with the object files and contain a unified section list so that object file and symbol file can share sections when they need to, yet contain their own sections.
Other cleanups:
- Fixed Symbol::GetByteSize() to not have the symbol table compute the byte sizes on the fly
- Modified the ObjectFileMachO class to compute symbol sizes all at once efficiently
- Modified the Symtab class to store a file address lookup table for more efficient lookups
- Removed Section::Finalize() and SectionList::Finalize() as they did nothing
- Improved performance of the detection of symbol files that have debug maps by excluding stripped files and core files, debug files, object files and stubs
- Added the ability to tell if an ObjectFile has been stripped with ObjectFile::IsStripped() (used this for the above performance improvement)

The build system is currently miss-identifying GNU/kFreeBSD as FreeBSD.
This kind of simplification is sometimes useful, but in general it's not correct.
As GNU/kFreeBSD is an hybrid system, for kernel-related issues we want to match the
build definitions used for FreeBSD, whereas for userland-related issues we want to
match the definitions used for other systems with Glibc.
The current modification adjusts the build system so that they can be distinguished,
and explicitly adds GNU/kFreeBSD to the build checks in which it belongs.
Fixes bug #16446.

been suitable for preparing a single IR function
for operation in the target. However, using blocks
and lambdas creates other IR functions that also
need to be processed.
I have audited IRForTarget to make it process
multiple functions. Where IRForTarget would add
new instructions at the beginning of the main
expression function, it now adds them on-demand
in the function where they are needed. This is
enabled by a system of FunctionValueCaches, which
invoke a lambda to create or derive the values as
needed, or report the result of that lambda if it
has already been called for the given function.

bother checking if a region is safe to use. In
cases where regions need to be synthesized rather
than properly allocated, the memory reads required
to determine whether the area is used are
- insufficient, because intermediate locations
could be in use, and
- unsafe, because on some platforms reading from
memory can trigger events.
All this only makes a difference on platforms
where memory allocation in the target is impossible.
Behavior on platforms where it is possible should
stay the same.

The semi-unofficial way of returning a status from a Python command was to return a string (e.g. return "no such variable was found") that LLDB would pick as a clue of an error having happened
This checkin changes that:
- SBCommandReturnObject now exports a SetError() call, which can take an SBError or a plain C-string
- script commands now drop any return value and expect the SBCommandReturnObject ("return object") to be filled in appropriately - if you do nothing, a success will be assumed
If your commands were relying on returning a value and having LLDB pick that up as an error, please change your commands to SetError() through the return object or expect changes in behavior

Specifically, the ${target ${process ${thread and ${frame specifiers have been extended to allow a subkeyword .script:<fctName> (e.g. ${frame.script:FooFunction})
The functions are prototyped as
def FooFunction(Object,unused)
where object is of the respective SB-type (SBTarget for target.script, ... and so on)
This has not been implemented for ${var because it would be akin to a Python summary which is already well-defined in LLDB

This is a rewrite of the command history facility of LLDB
It takes the history management out of the CommandInterpreter into its own CommandHistory class
It reimplements the command history command to allow more combinations of options to work correctly (e.g. com hist -c 1 -s 5)
It adds a new --wipe (-w) option to command history to allow clearing the history on demand
It extends the lldbtest runCmd: and expect: methods to allow adding commands to history if need be
It adds a test case for the reimplemented facility

325,000 breakpoints for running "breakpoint set --func-regex ." on lldb itself (after hitting a breakpoint at main so that LLDB.framework is loaded) used to take up to an hour to set, now we are down under a minute. With warm file caches, we are at 40 seconds, and that is with setting 325,000 breakpoint through the GDB remote API. Linux and the native debuggers might be faster. I haven't timed what how much is debug info parsing and how much is the protocol traffic to/from GDB remote.
That there were many performance issues. Most of them were due to storing breakpoints in the wrong data structures, or using the wrong iterators to traverse the lists, traversing the lists in inefficient ways, and not optimizing certain function name lookups/symbol merges correctly.
Debugging after that is also now very efficient. There were issues with replacing the breakpoint opcodes in memory that was read, and those routines were also fixed.

LLDB API versioning
This checkin makes the LLDB API versioned
We are starting at version 1.0 and will then revise and update the API from there
Further details:
API versioning
---------------------------------
The LLDB API is versioned independently of the LLDB source base
Our API version numbers are composed of a major and a minor number
The major number means a complete and stable revision of the API. Major numbers are compatibility breakers
(i.e. when we change the API major number, there is no promise of compatibility with the previous major version
and we are free to remove and/or change any APIs)
Minor numbers are a work-in-progress evolution of the API. APIs will not be removed or changed across minor versions
(minors do not break compatibility). However, we can deprecate APIs in minor versions or add new APIs in minor versions
A deprecated API is supposedly going to be removed in the next major version and will generate a warning if used
APIs we add in minor versions will not be removed (at least until the following major) but they might theoretically be deprecated
in a following minor version
Users are discouraged from using the LLDB version number to test for API features and should instead use the API version checking
as discussed below
API version checking
---------------------------------
You can (optionally) sign into an API version checking feature
To do so you need to define three macros:
LLDB_API_CHECK_VERSIONING - define to any value (or no value)
LLDB_API_MAJOR_VERSION_WANTED - which major version of the LLDB API you are targeting
LLDB_API_MINOR_VERSION_WANTED - which minor version of the LLDB API you are targeting
If these macros exist - LLDB will enable version checking of the public API
If LLDB_API_MAJOR_VERSION is not equal to LLDB_API_MAJOR_VERSION_WANTED we will immediately halt your compilation with an error
This is by design, since we do not make any promise of compatibility across major versions - if you really want to test your luck, disable the versioning altogether
If the major version test passes, you have signed up for a specific minor version of the API
Whenever we add or deprecate an API in a minor version, we will mark it with either
LLDB_API_NEW_IN_DOT_x - this API is new in LLDB .x
LLDB_API_DEPRECATED_IN_DOT_x - this API is deprecated as of .x
If you are using an API new in DOT_x
if LLDB_API_MINOR_VERSION_WANTED >= x then all is well, else you will get a compilation error
This is meant to prevent you from using APIs that are newer than whatever LLDB you want to target
If you are using an API deprecated in DOT_x
if LLDB_API_MINOR_VERSION_WANTED >= x then you will get a compilation warning, else all is well
This is meant to let you know that you are using an API that is deprecated and might go away
Caveats
---------------------------------
Version checking only works on clang on OSX - you will get an error if you try to enable it on any other OS/compiler
If you want to enable version checking on other platforms, you will need to define appropriate implementations for
LLDB_API_IMPL_DEPRECATED and LLDB_API_IMPL_TOONEW and any other infrastructure your compiler needs for this purpose
We have no deprecation-as-error mode
There is no support for API versioning in Python
We reserve to use macros whose names begin with LLDB_API_ and you should not use them in your source code as they might conflict
with present or future macro names we are using to implement versioning
For API implementors:
If you need to add a new public API call, please remember to add the LLDB_API_NEW_IN_DOT_x marker in the header file
and when you are done with adding stuff, to also update LLDB_API_MINOR_VERSION
If you want to remove a function, deprecate it first, by using LLDB_API_DEPRECATED_IN_DOT_x
and when you are done with deprecating stuff, to also update LLDB_API_MINOR_VERSION
A new major version (LLDB_API_MAJOR_VERSION++) is your only chance to remove and/or change API calls
but is probably quite a big deal and you might want to consider deprecating the existing calls for a while
before doing your changes
A couple more caveats:
Currently, the lldb-tool does NOT use the version checking feature. It would be a nice future improvement to make it do that, once we have proper version checking on other OSs
APIs marked as deprecated by a comment in the source are still deprecated just that way. A good purpose for API 1.1 might be to deprecate them with appropriate markers
