And since enough of these are doing the right thing, add a test case to verify we are doing the right thing with freeze drying ObjC object types

the runtime rather than trying to fix it up,
because now those types have ivars regardless of
whether they come from "frame variable" or from
expressions.

The way to do this is to write a synthetic child provider for your type, and have it vend the (optional) get_value function.
If get_value is defined, and it returns a valid SBValue, that SBValue's value (as in lldb_private::Value) will be used as the synthetic ValueObject's Value
The rationale for doing things this way is twofold:
- there are many possible ways to define a "value" (SBData, a Python number, ...) but SBValue seems general enough as a thing that stores a "value", so we just trade values that way and that keeps our currency trivial
- we could introduce a new level of layering (ValueObjectSyntheticValue), a new kind of formatter (synthetic value producer), but that would complicate the model (can I have a dynamic with no synthetic children but synthetic value? synthetic value with synthetic children but no dynamic?), and I really couldn't see much benefit to be reaped from this added complexity in the matrix
On the other hand, just defining a synthetic child provider with a get_value but returning no actual children is easy enough that it's not a significant road-block to adoption of this feature
Comes with a test case
llvm-svn: 219330
Rationale:
Pretty simply, the idea is that sometimes type names are way too long and contain way too many details for the average developer to care about. For instance, a plain ol' vector of int might be shown as
std::__1::vector<int, std::__1::allocator<....
rather than the much simpler std::vector<int> form, which is what most developers would actually type in their code
Proposed solution:
Introduce a notion of "display name" and a corresponding API GetDisplayTypeName() to return such a crafted for visual representation type name
Obviously, the display name and the fully qualified (or "true") name are not necessarily the same - that's the whole point
LLDB could choose to pick the "display name" as its one true notion of a type name, and if somebody really needs the fully qualified version of it, let them deal with the problem
Or, LLDB could rename what it currently calls the "type name" to be the "display name", and add new APIs for the fully qualified name, making the display name the default choice
The choice that I am making here is that the type name will keep meaning the same, and people who want a type name suited for display will explicitly ask for one
It is the less risky/disruptive choice - and it should eventually make it fairly obvious when someone is asking for the wrong type
Caveats:
- for now, GetDisplayTypeName() == GetTypeName(), there is no logic to produce customized display type names yet.
- while the fully-qualified type name is still the main key to the kingdom of data formatters, if we start showing custom names to people, those should match formatters

This is a purely mechanical change explicitly casting any parameters for printf
style conversion. This cleans up the warnings emitted by gcc 4.8 on Linux.

This commit reimplements the TypeImpl class (the class that backs SBType) in terms of a static,dynamic type pair
This is useful for those cases when the dynamic type of an ObjC variable can only be obtained in terms of an "hollow" type with no ivars
In that case, we could either go with the static type (+iVar information) or with the dynamic type (+inheritance chain)
With the new TypeImpl implementation, we try to combine these two sources of information in order to extract as much information as possible
This should improve the functionality of tools that are using the SBType API to do extensive dynamic type inspection

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.

lets a ValueObject's contents be set from raw
data. This has certain limitations (notably,
registers can only be set to data that is as
large as the register) but will be useful for
the new Materializer.
I also exposed this interface through SBValue.
I have added a testcase that exercises various
special cases of SBValue::SetData().

LLDB is crashing when logging is enabled from lldb-perf-clang. This has to do with the global destructor chain as the process and its threads are being torn down.
All logging channels now make one and only one instance that is kept in a global pointer which is never freed. This guarantees that logging can correctly continue as the process tears itself down.

Data formatters now cache themselves.
This commit provides a new formatter cache mechanism. Upon resolving a formatter (summary or synthetic), LLDB remembers the resolution for later faster retrieval.
Also moved the data formatters subsystem from the core to its own group and folder for easier management, and done some code reorganization.
The ObjC runtime v1 now returns a class name if asked for the dynamic type of an object. This is required for formatters caching to work with the v1 runtime.
Lastly, this commit disposes of the old hack where ValueObjects had to remember whether they were queried for formatters with their static or dynamic type.
Now the ValueObjectDynamicValue class works well enough that we can use its dynamic value setting for the same purpose.

Major fixed to allow reading files that are over 4GB. The main problems were that the DataExtractor was using 32 bit offsets as a data cursor, and since we mmap all of our object files we could run into cases where if we had a very large core file that was over 4GB, we were running into the 4GB boundary.
So I defined a new "lldb::offset_t" which should be used for all file offsets.
After making this change, I enabled warnings for data loss and for enexpected implicit conversions temporarily and found a ton of things that I fixed.
Any functions that take an index internally, should use "size_t" for any indexes and also should return "size_t" for any sizes of collections.

Extending ValueObjectDynamicValue so that it stores a TypeAndOrName instead of a TypeSP.
This change allows us to reflect the notion that a ValueObject can have a dynamic type for which we have no debug information.
Previously, we would coalesce that to the static type of the object, potentially losing relevant information or even getting it wrong.
This fix ensures we can correctly report the class name for Cocoa objects whose types are hidden classes that we know nothing about (e.g. __NSArrayI for immutable arrays).
As a side effect, our --show-types argument to frame variable no longer needs to append custom dynamic type information.

Make sure that ValueObjectDynamicValue clears itself when no dynamic type information can be found
This behavior was supposed to be already happening (as per the comment lines)
llvm-svn: 168743
Removing the IsDynamic() and GetStaticValue() calls, so that they will default to the base class behavior:
- non-dynamic
- itself as the static value
This is in contrast with the previous behavior which could be confusing and could potentially cause issues when using those objects
llvm-svn: 166857
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)
