*** to conform to clang-format’s LLVM style. This kind of mass change has
*** 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.

- Made the dynamic register context for the GDB remote plug-in inherit from the generic DynamicRegisterInfo to avoid code duplication
- Finished up the target definition python setting stuff.
- Added a new "slice" key/value pair that can specify that a register is part of another register:
{ 'name':'eax', 'set':0, 'bitsize':32, 'encoding':eEncodingUint, 'format':eFormatHex, 'slice': 'rax[31:0]' },
- Added a new "composite" key/value pair that can specify that a register is made up of two or more registers:
{ 'name':'d0', 'set':0, 'bitsize':64 , 'encoding':eEncodingIEEE754, 'format':eFormatFloat, 'composite': ['s1', 's0'] },
- Added a new "invalidate-regs" key/value pair for when a register is modified, it can invalidate other registers:
{ 'name':'cpsr', 'set':0, 'bitsize':32 , 'encoding':eEncodingUint, 'format':eFormatHex, 'invalidate-regs': ['r8', 'r9', 'r10', 'r11', 'r12', 'r13', 'r14', 'r15']},
This now completes the feature that allows a GDB remote target to completely describe itself.

When debugging with the GDB remote in LLDB, LLDB uses special packets to discover the
registers on the remote server. When those packets aren't supported, LLDB doesn't
know what the registers look like. This checkin implements a setting that can be used
to specify a python file that contains the registers definitions. The setting is:
(lldb) settings set plugin.process.gdb-remote.target-definition-file /path/to/module.py
Inside module there should be a function:
def get_dynamic_setting(target, setting_name):
This dynamic setting function is handed the "target" which is a SBTarget, and the
"setting_name", which is the name of the dynamic setting to retrieve. For the GDB
remote target definition the setting name is 'gdb-server-target-definition'. The
return value is a dictionary that follows the same format as the OperatingSystem
plugins follow. I have checked in an example file that implements the x86_64 GDB
register set for people to see:
examples/python/x86_64_target_definition.py
This allows LLDB to debug to any archticture that is support and allows users to
define the registers contexts when the discovery packets (qRegisterInfo, qHostInfo)
are not supported by the remote GDB server.
A few benefits of doing this in Python:
1 - The dynamic register context was already supported in the OperatingSystem plug-in
2 - Register contexts can use all of the LLDB enumerations and definitions for things
like lldb::Format, lldb::Encoding, generic register numbers, invalid registers
numbers, etc.
3 - The code that generates the register context can use the program to calculate the
register context contents (like offsets, register numbers, and more)
4 - True dynamic detection could be used where variables and types could be read from
the target program itself in order to determine which registers are available since
the target is passed into the python function.
This is designed to be used instead of XML since it is more dynamic and code flow and
functions can be used to make the dictionary.
