This patch introduces a concept of "frame recognizer" and "recognized frame". This should be an extensible mechanism that retrieves information about special frames based on ABI, arguments or other special properties of that frame, even without source code. A few examples where that could be useful could be 1) objc_exception_throw, where we'd like to get the current exception, 2) terminate_with_reason and extracting the current terminate string, 3) recognizing Objective-C frames and automatically extracting the receiver+selector, or perhaps all arguments (based on selector).

When we get the `resolve_scope` parameter from the SB API, it's a
`uint32_t`. We then pass it through all of LLDB this way, as a uint32.
This is unfortunate, because it means the user of an API never actually
knows what they're dealing with. We can call it something like
`resolve_scope` and have comments saying "this is a value from the
`SymbolContextItem` enumeration, but it makes more sense to just have it
actually *be* the correct type in the actual C++ type system to begin
with. This way the person reading the code just knows what it is.
The reason to use integers instead of enumerations for flags is because
when you do bitwise operations on enumerations they get promoted to
integers, so it makes it tedious to constantly be casting them back
to the enumeration types, so I've introduced a macro to make this
happen magically. By writing LLDB_MARK_AS_BITMASK_ENUM after defining
an enumeration, it will define overloaded operators so that the
returned type will be the original enum. This should address all
the mechanical issues surrounding using rich enum types directly.
This way, we get a better debugger experience, and new users to
the codebase can get more easily acquainted with the codebase because
their IDE features can help them understand what the types mean.

This patch teaches lldb to detect when there are missing frames in a
backtrace due to a sequence of tail calls, and to fill in the backtrace
with artificial tail call frames when this happens. This is only done
when the execution history can be determined from the call graph and
from the return PC addresses of calls on the stack. Ambiguous sequences
of tail calls (e.g anything involving tail calls and recursion) are
detected and ignored.
Depends on D49887.

These three classes have no external dependencies, but they are used
from various low-level APIs. Moving them down to Utility improves
overall code layering (although it still does not break any particular
dependency completely).
The XCode project will need to be updated after this change.

If we have a function with signature f(addr_t, AddressClass), it is easy to muddle up the order of arguments without any warnings from compiler. 'enum class' prevents passing integer in place of AddressClass and vice versa.

This is intended as a clean up after the big clang-format commit
(r280751), which unfortunately resulted in many of the comment
paragraphs in LLDB being very hard to read.
FYI, the script I used was:
import textwrap
import commands
import os
import sys
import re
tmp = "%s.tmp"%sys.argv[1]
out = open(tmp, "w+")
with open(sys.argv[1], "r") as f:
header = ""
text = ""
comment = re.compile(r'^( *//) ([^ ].*)$')
special = re.compile(r'^((([A-Z]+[: ])|([0-9]+ )).*)|(.*;)$')
for line in f:
match = comment.match(line)
if match and not special.match(match.group(2)):
# skip intentionally short comments.
if not text and len(match.group(2)) < 40:
out.write(line)
continue
if text:
text += " " + match.group(2)
else:
header = match.group(1)
text = match.group(2)
continue
if text:
filled = textwrap.wrap(text, width=(78-len(header)),
break_long_words=False)
for l in filled:
out.write(header+" "+l+'\n')
text = ""
out.write(line)
os.rename(tmp, sys.argv[1])

This patch introduces a new thread backtrace command "unique".
The command is based off of "thread backtrace all" but will instead
find all threads which share matching call stacks and de-duplicate
their output, listing call stack and all the threads which share it.
This is especially useful for apps which use thread/task pools
sitting around waiting for work and cause excessive duplicate output.
I needed this behavior recently when debugging a core with 700+ threads.

llvm-svn: 305197
Summary:
When a call instruction is the last instruction in a function, the
backtrace PC will point past the end of the function. We already had
special code to handle that, but we did not handle the case where the PC
ends up outside of the bounds of the module containing the function,
which is a situation that occured in TestNoreturnUnwind on android for
some arch/compiler combinations.
I fix this by adding an argument to Address resolution code which states
that we are ok with addresses pointing to the end of a module/section to
resolve to that module/section.
I create a reproducible test case for this situation by hand-crafting an
executable which has a noreturn function at the end of a module.

This renames the LLDB error class to Status, as discussed
on the lldb-dev mailing list.
A change of this magnitude cannot easily be done without
find and replace, but that has potential to catch unwanted
occurrences of common strings such as "Error". Every effort
was made to find all the obvious things such as the word "Error"
appearing in a string, etc, but it's possible there are still
some lingering occurences left around. Hopefully nothing too
serious.

This adjusts header file includes for headers and source files
in Core. In doing so, one dependency cycle is eliminated
because all the includes from Core to that project were dead
includes anyway. In places where some files in other projects
were only compiling due to a transitive include from another
header, fixups have been made so that those files also include
the header they need. Tested on Windows and Linux, and plan
to address failures on OSX and FreeBSD after watching the
bots.

Summary:
After this change a sythetic child provider can generate a special child
named "$$dereference$$" what if present is used when "operator*" or
"operator->" used on a ValueObject. The goal of the change is to make
expressions like "up->foo" work inside the "frame variable" command.

Also significantly reduced the indentation level by use of
early returns, and simplified some of the logic by using
StringRef functions such as consumeInteger() and getAsInteger()
instead of strtoll, etc.

This is a large API change that removes the two functions from
StreamString that return a std::string& and a const std::string&,
and instead provide one function which returns a StringRef.
Direct access to the underlying buffer violates the concept of
a "stream" which is intended to provide forward only access,
and makes porting to llvm::raw_ostream more difficult in the
future.

The switch coveres all possible values. If a new one is added in the
future the compiler will start warning, providing a notification that
