This is a very basic implementation of a library that easily allows to drive LLDB.framework to write test cases for performance
This is separate from the LLDB testsuite in test/ in that:
a) this uses C++ instead of Python to avoid measures being affected by SWIG
b) this is in very early development and needs lots of tweaking before it can be considered functionally complete
c) this is not meant to test correctness but to help catch performance regressions
There is a sample application built against the library (in darwin/sketch) that uses the famous sample app Sketch as an inferior to measure certain basic parameters of LLDB's behavior.
The resulting output is a PLIST much like the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Areas for improvement:
- code cleanups (I will be out of the office for a couple days this coming week, but please keep ideas coming!)
- more metrics and test cases
- better error checking
This toolkit also comprises a simple event-loop-driven controller for LLDB, similar yet much simpler to what the Driver does to implement the lldb command-line tool.

counters for a variety of metrics associated
with expression parsing. This should give some
idea of how much work the expression parser is
doing on Clang's behalf, and help with hopefully
reducing that load over time.

Make dynamic type detection faster by using the AST metadata to help out and allow us not to complete types when we don't need to.
After running "purge" on a MacOSX system, the Xcode variables view now populates more than 3x faster with this fix.

- change string "ERROR" to "FAIL" to match clang lit test results
Also, make LLDB tests work on machines that do not have svn and/or git installed

"compile_units" returns an array of all compile units in a module as a list() of lldb.SBCompileUnit objects.
"compile_unit" returns a compile unit accessor object that allows indexed access, search by full or partial path, or by regex:
(lldb) script
comp_unit = lldb.target.module['TextEdit'].compile_unit['Document.m']
comp_unit = lldb.target.module['TextEdit'].compile_unit['/path/to/Document.m']
comp_unit = lldb.target.module['TextEdit'].compile_unit[0]
comp_unit = lldb.target.module['TextEdit'].compile_unit[1]
for comp_unit in lldb.target.module['TextEdit'].compile_unit[re.compile("\.m$")]
print comp_unit
This helps do quick searches and scripting while debugging.

I used this to verify that the debug map line tables were the same as previous LLDB releases prior to my change in the DWARF in .o file linking.

- missing definitions were causing different definitions of type 'off_t', resulting in linker errors
- fix is to define _LARGEFILE_SOURCE and _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
llvm-svn: 176595
The test was marked as expectedFailureLinux, but now it passes with gcc and some versions of clang. Newer versions of clang introduce a failure due to bad DWARF information.
llvm-svn: 176581
Also added C++11 enum test cases to cover enums as int8_t, int16_t int32_t, int64_t, uint8_t, uint16_t, uint32_t, and uint64_t both for DWARF and dSYM cases. The DWARF being emitted by clang is missing the enum integer type, but the code is now ready to accept and deal with the integral type if it is supplied.
llvm-svn: 176548
LLDB wasn't printing the names for negative enums. Fixed the signed extraction of enumerators and how they were registered with clang's type system.

- resolved circular dependency issue by making liblldb depend directly on LLDBWrapPython.cpp
- removed use of '..' for relative directories -- ninja doesn't like this
- fixed build-order problem
llvm-svn: 176517
DWARF with .o files now uses 40-60% less memory!
Big fixes include:
- Change line table internal representation to contain "file addresses". Since each line table is owned by a compile unit that is owned by a module, it makes address translation into lldb_private::Address easy to do when needed.
- Removed linked address members/methods from lldb_private::Section and lldb_private::Address
- lldb_private::LineTable can now relink itself using a FileRangeMap to make it easier to re-link line tables in the future
- Added ObjectFile::ClearSymtab() so that we can get rid of the object file symbol tables after we parse them once since they are not needed and kept memory allocated for no reason
- Moved the m_sections_ap (std::auto_ptr to section list) and m_symtab_ap (std::auto_ptr to the lldb_private::Symtab) out of each of the ObjectFile subclasses and put it into lldb_private::ObjectFile.
- Changed how the debug map is parsed and stored to be able to:
- Lazily parse the debug map for each object file
- not require the address map for a .o file until debug information is linked for a .o file

Make it configurable what to profile.
For Mac, we don't use the dirty page size yet and hence there is no need to gather that. This should be way better in not draining the battery since we are operating between 0% to 0.1% on the Mac after this change.

in a core file if it didn't start at the beginning of a memory segment.
I added more sophisticated kernel location code to DynamicLoaderDarwinKernel
and removed the simple one in ProcessMachCore. Unfortunately the kernel
DynamicLoader doesn't get a chance to search around in memory unless there's
a hint that this might be a kernel debug session. It was easy ot make the
kernel location code static in DynamicLoaderDarwinKernel and call it from
ProcessMachCore on the start of the session, so that's what I did.

Calculate "can branch" using the MC API's rather than our hand-rolled regex'es.
As extra credit, allow setting the disassembly flavor for x86 based architectures to intel or att.

and use it to keep from doing the OS Plugin UpdateThreadList while destroying, since
if that does anything that requires the API lock it may deadlock against whoever is
running the Process::Destroy.
