Create a new "lldb_private::CompilerDeclContext" class that will replace all direct uses of "clang::DeclContext" when used in compiler agnostic code, yet still allow for conversion to clang::DeclContext subclasses by clang specific code. This completes the abstraction of type parsing by removing all "clang::" references from the SymbolFileDWARF. The new "lldb_private::CompilerDeclContext" class abstracts decl contexts found in compiler type systems so they can be used in internal API calls. The TypeSystem is required to support CompilerDeclContexts with new pure virtual functions that start with "DeclContext" in the member function names. Converted all code that used lldb_private::ClangNamespaceDecl over to use the new CompilerDeclContext class and removed the ClangNamespaceDecl.cpp and ClangNamespaceDecl.h files.
Removed direct use of clang APIs from SBType and now use the abstract type systems to correctly explore types.
Bulk renames for things that used to return a ClangASTType which is now CompilerType:
"Type::GetClangFullType()" to "Type::GetFullCompilerType()"
"Type::GetClangLayoutType()" to "Type::GetLayoutCompilerType()"
"Type::GetClangForwardType()" to "Type::GetForwardCompilerType()"
"Value::GetClangType()" to "Value::GetCompilerType()"
"Value::SetClangType (const CompilerType &)" to "Value::SetCompilerType (const CompilerType &)"
"ValueObject::GetClangType ()" to "ValueObject::GetCompilerType()"
many more renames that are similar.

This is more preparation for multiple different kinds of types from different compilers (clang, Pascal, Go, RenderScript, Swift, etc).
llvm-svn: 244689
Summary:
Other changes around the main change include:
1. Add a method Cast to ValueObjectConstResult, ValueObjectConstResultImpl
and ValueObjectConstResultChild.
2. Add an argument |live_address| of type lldb::addr_t to the constructor
of ValueObjectConstResultChild. This is passed on to the backing
ValueObjectConstResultImpl object constructor so that the address of the
child value can be calculated properly.

There was a test in the test suite that was triggering the backtrace logging output that requested that the client pass an execution context. Sometimes we need the process for Objective C types because our static notion of the type might not align with the reality when being run in a live runtime.
Switched from an "ExecutionContext *" to an "ExecutionContextScope *" for greater ease of use.

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
Fixes rdar://18092770
llvm-svn: 227282
This is necessary because the byte size of an ObjC class type is not reliably statically knowable (e.g. because superclasses sit deep in frameworks that we have no debug info for)
The lack of reliable size info is a problem when trying to freeze-dry an ObjC instance (not the pointer, the pointee)
This commit lays the foundation for having language runtimes help in figuring out byte sizes, and having ClangASTType ask for runtime help
No feature change as no runtime actually implements the logic, and nowhere is an ExecutionContext passed in yet

Such a persisted version is equivalent to evaluating the value via the expression evaluator, and holding on to the $n result of the expression, except this API can be used on SBValues that do not obviously come from an expression (e.g. are the result of a memory lookup)
Expose this via SBValue::Persist() in our public API layer, and ValueObject::Persist() in the lldb_private layer
Includes testcase
Fixes rdar://19136664

Two flags are introduced:
- preferred display language (as in, ObjC vs. C++)
- summary capping (as in, should a limit be put to the amount of data retrieved)
The meaning - if any - of these options is for individual formatters to establish
The topic of a subsequent commit will be to actually wire these through to individual data formatters
llvm-svn: 221482
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

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.

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.

Modified the heap.py to be able to correctly indentify the exact ivar for the "ptr_refs" command no matter how deep the ivar is in a class hierarchy. Also fixed the ability for the heap command to symbolicate the stack backtrace when MallocStackLogging is set in the environment and the "--stack" option was specified.
llvm-svn: 159883
Fixed type lookups to "do the right thing". Prior to this fix, looking up a type using "foo::bar" would result in a type list that contains all types that had "bar" as a basename unless the symbol file was able to match fully qualified names (which our DWARF parser does not).
This fix will allow type matches to be made based on the basename and then have the types that don't match filtered out. Types by name can be fully qualified, or partially qualified with the new "bool exact_match" parameter to the Module::FindTypes() method.
This fixes some issue that we discovered with dynamic type resolution as well as improves the overall type lookups in LLDB.

Objective-C classes. This allows LLDB to find
ivars declared in class extensions in modules other
than where the debugger is currently stopped (we
already supported this when the debugger was
stopped in the same module as the definition).
This involved the following main changes:
- The ObjCLanguageRuntime now knows how to hunt
for the authoritative version of an Objective-C
type. It looks for the symbol indicating a
definition, and then gets the type from the
module containing that symbol.
- ValueObjects now report their type with a
potential override, and the override is set if
the type of the ValueObject is an Objective-C
class or pointer type that is defined somewhere
other than the original reported type. This
means that "frame variable" will always use the
complete type if one is available.
- The ClangASTSource now looks for the complete
type when looking for ivars. This means that
"expr" will always use the complete type if one
is available.
- I added a testcase that verifies that both
"frame variable" and "expr" work.

result variable on a "finish" statement. The
ownership of the result value was not being properly
assigned to the newly-created persistent result
variable; now it is.

as part of the thread format output.
Currently this is only done for the ThreadPlanStepOut.
Add a convenience API ABI::GetReturnValueObject.
Change the ValueObject::EvaluationPoint to BE an ExecutionContextScope, rather than
trying to hand out one of its subsidiary object's pointers. That way this will always
be good.

valobj.AddressOf() returns None when an address is expected in a SyntheticChildrenProvider
Patch from Enrico Granata:
The problem was that the frozen object created by the expression parser was a copy of the contents of the StgClosure, rather than a pointer to it. Thus, the expression parser was correctly computing the result of the arithmetic&cast operation along with its address, but only saving it in the live object. This meant that the frozen copy acted as an address-less variable, hence the problem.
The fix attached to this email lets the expression parser store the "live address" in the frozen copy of the address when the object is built without a valid address of its own.
Doing so, along with delegating ValueObjectConstResult to calculate its own address when necessary, solves the issue. I have also added a new test case to check for regressions in this area, and checked that existing test cases pass correctly.
llvm-svn: 146768
- introduced two new classes ValueObjectConstResultChild and ValueObjectConstResultImpl: the first one is a ValueObjectChild obtained from
a ValueObjectConstResult, the second is a common implementation backend for VOCR and VOCRCh of method calls meant to read through pointers stored
in frozen objects ; now such reads transparently move from host to target as required
- as a consequence of the above, removed code that made target-memory copies of expression results in several places throughout LLDB, and also
removed code that enabled to recognize an expression result VO as such
- introduced a new GetPointeeData() method in ValueObject that lets you read a given amount of objects of type T from a VO
representing a T* or T[], and doing dereferences transparently
in private layer it returns a DataExtractor ; in public layer it returns an instance of a newly created lldb::SBData
- as GetPointeeData() does the right thing for both frozen and non-frozen ValueObject's, reimplemented ReadPointedString() to use it
en lieu of doing the raw read itself
- introduced a new GetData() method in ValueObject that lets you get a copy of the data that backs the ValueObject (for pointers,
this returns the address without any previous dereferencing steps ; for arrays it actually reads the whole chunk of memory)
in public layer this returns an SBData, just like GetPointeeData()
- introduced a new CreateValueFromData() method in SBValue that lets you create a new SBValue from a chunk of data wrapped in an SBData
the limitation to remember for this kind of SBValue is that they have no address: extracting the address-of for these objects (with any
of GetAddress(), GetLoadAddress() and AddressOf()) will return invalid values
- added several tests to check that "p"-ing objects (STL classes, char* and char[]) will do the right thing
Solved a bug where global pointers to global variables were not dereferenced correctly for display
New target setting "max-string-summary-length" gives the maximum number of characters to show in a string when summarizing it, instead of the hardcoded 128
Solved a bug where the summary for char[] and char* would not be shown if the ValueObject's were dumped via the "p" command
Removed m_pointers_point_to_load_addrs from ValueObject. Introduced a new m_address_type_of_children, which each ValueObject can set to tell the address type
of any pointers and/or references it creates. In the current codebase, this is load address most of the time (the only notable exception being file
addresses that generate file address children UNLESS we have a live process)
Updated help text for summary-string
Fixed an issue in STL formatters where std::stlcontainer::iterator would match the container's synthetic children providers
Edited the syntax and help for some commands to have proper argument types
