This is implemented by means of a get_dynamic_setting(target, setting_name) function vended by the Python module, which can respond to arbitrary string names with dynamically constructed
settings objects (most likely, some of those that PythonDataObjects supports) for LLDB to parse
This needs to be hooked up to the debugger via some setting to allow users to specify which module will vend the information they want to supply

Summary:
This merge brings in the improved 'platform' command that knows how to
interface with remote machines; that is, query OS/kernel information, push
and pull files, run shell commands, etc... and implementation for the new
communication packets that back that interface, at least on Darwin based
operating systems via the POSIXPlatform class. Linux support is coming soon.
Verified the test suite runs cleanly on Linux (x86_64), build OK on Mac OS
X Mountain Lion.
Additional improvements (not in the source SVN branch 'lldb-platform-work'):
- cmake build scripts for lldb-platform
- cleanup test suite
- documentation stub for qPlatform_RunCommand
- use log class instead of printf() directly
- reverted work-in-progress-looking changes from test/types/TestAbstract.py that work towards running the test suite remotely.
- add new logging category 'platform'

OS Plugins' __init__ method takes two arguments: (self,process)
I was erroneously passing the session_dict as well as part of my PyCallable changes and that caused plugins to fail to work

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

Now, the way SWIG wrappers call into Python is through a utility PyCallable object, which overloads operator () to look like a normal function call
Plus, using the SBTypeToSWIGWrapper() family of functions, we can call python functions transparently as if they were plain C functions
Using this new technique should make adding new Python call points easier and quicker
The PyCallable is a generally useful facility, and we might want to consider moving it to a separate layer where other parts of LLDB can use it
llvm-svn: 184608
Any time a SWIG wrapper needs a PyObject for an SB object, it now should call into SBTypeToSWIGWrapper<SBType>(SBType*)
If you try to use it on an SBType for which there is not an implementation yet, LLDB will fail to link - just add your specialization to python-swigsafecast.swig and rebuild
This is the first step in simplifying our SWIG Wrapper layer
llvm-svn: 184580
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
llvm-svn: 184500
Allowing LLDB to resolve names of Python functions when they are located in classes
This allows things like *bound* classmethods to be used for formatters, commands, ...
llvm-svn: 183772
Upon encountering an object not of type string, LLDB will get the string representation of it (akin to calling str(X) in Python code) and use that as the summary to display
Feedback is welcome as to whether repr() should be used instead (but the argument for repr() better be highly persuasive :-)

Python breakpoint actions can return False to say that they don't want to stop at the breakpoint to which they are associated
Almost all of the work to support this notion of a breakpoint callback was in place, but two small moving parts were missing:
a) the SWIG wrapper was not checking the return value of the script
b) when passing a Python function by name, the call statement was dropping the return value of the function
This checkin addresses both concerns and makes this work
Care has been taken that you only keep running when an actual value of False has been returned, and that any other value (None included) means Stop!

This commit enables the new HasChildren() feature for synthetic children providers
Namely, it hooks up the required bits and pieces so that individual synthetic children providers can implement a new (optional) has_children call
Default implementations have been provided where necessary so that any existing providers continue to work and behave correctly
Next steps are:
2) writing smart implementations of has_children for our providers whenever possible
3) make a test case

Given our implementation of ValueObjects we could have a scenario where a ValueObject has a dynamic type of Foo* at one point, and then its dynamic type changes to Bar*
If Bar* has synthetic children enabled, by the time we figure that out, our public API is already vending SBValues wrapping a DynamicVO, instead of a SyntheticVO and there was
no trivial way for us to change the SP inside an SBValue on the fly
This checkin reimplements SBValue in terms of a wrapper, ValueImpl, that allows this substitutions on-the-fly by overriding GetSP() to do The Right Thing (TM)
As an additional bonus, GetNonSyntheticValue() now works, and we can get rid of the ForceDisableSyntheticChildren idiom in ScriptInterpreterPython
Lastly, this checkin makes sure the synthetic VOs get the correct m_value and m_data from their parents (prevented summaries from working in some cases)

- Tweaked a parameter name in SBDebugger.h so my typemap will catch it;
- Added a SBDebugger.Create(bool, callback, baton) to the swig interface;
- Added SBDebugger.SetLoggingCallback to the swig interface;
- Added a callback utility function for log callbacks;
- Guard against Py_None on both callback utility functions;
- Added a FIXME to the SBDebugger API test;
- Added a __del__() stub for SBDebugger.
We need to be able to get both the log callback and baton from an
SBDebugger if we want to protect against memory leaks (or make the user
responsible for holding another reference to the callback).
Additionally, it's impossible to revert from a callback-backed log
mechanism to a file-backed log mechanism.
llvm-svn: 162633
Now it's possible to use SBInputReader callbacks in Python.
We leak the callback object, unfortunately. A __del__ method can be added
to SBInputReader, but we have no way to check the callback function that
is on the reader. So we can't call Py_DECREF on it when we have our
PythonCallback function. One way to do it is to assume that reified
SBInputReaders always have a Python callback (and always call Py_DECREF).
Another one is to add methods or properties to SBInputReader (or make the
m_callback_function property public).
