New public API for handling formatters: creating, deleting, modifying categories, and formatters, and managing type/formatter association.
This provides SB classes for each of the main object types involved in providing formatter support:
SBTypeCategory
SBTypeFilter
SBTypeFormat
SBTypeSummary
SBTypeSynthetic
plus, an SBTypeNameSpecifier class that is used on the public API layer to abstract the notion that formatters can be applied to plain type-names as well as to regular expressions
For naming consistency, this patch also renames a lot of formatters-related classes.
Plus, the changes in how flags are handled that started with summaries is now extended to other classes as well. A new enum (lldb::eTypeOption) is meant to support this on the public side.
The patch also adds several new calls to the formatter infrastructure that are used to implement by-index accessing and several other design changes required to accommodate the new API layer.
An architectural change is introduced in that backing objects for formatters now become writable. On the public API layer, CoW is implemented to prevent unwanted propagation of changes.
Lastly, there are some modifications in how the "default" category is constructed and managed in relation to other categories.

uint32_t
SBType::GetNumberOfTemplateArguments ();
lldb::SBType
SBType::GetTemplateArgumentType (uint32_t idx);
lldb::TemplateArgumentKind
SBType::GetTemplateArgumentKind (uint32_t idx);
Some lldb::TemplateArgumentKind values don't have a corresponding SBType
that will be returned from SBType::GetTemplateArgumentType(). This will
help our data formatters do their job by being able to find out the
type of template params and do smart things with those.

You can now access a frame in a thread using:
lldb.SBThread.frame[int] -> lldb.SBFrame object for a frame in a thread
Where "int" is an integer index. You can also access a list object with all of
the frames using:
lldb.SBThread.frames => list() of lldb.SBFrame objects
All SB objects that give out SBAddress objects have properties named "addr"
lldb.SBInstructionList now has the following convenience accessors for len() and
instruction access using an index:
insts = lldb.frame.function.instructions
for idx in range(len(insts)):
print insts[idx]
Instruction lists can also lookup an isntruction using a lldb.SBAddress as the key:
pc_inst = lldb.frame.function.instructions[lldb.frame.addr]
lldb.SBProcess now exposes:
lldb.SBProcess.is_alive => BOOL Check if a process is exists and is alive
lldb.SBProcess.is_running => BOOL check if a process is running (or stepping):
lldb.SBProcess.is_running => BOOL check if a process is currently stopped or crashed:
lldb.SBProcess.thread[int] => lldb.SBThreads for a given "int" zero based index
lldb.SBProcess.threads => list() containing all lldb.SBThread objects in a process
SBInstruction now exposes:
lldb.SBInstruction.mnemonic => python string for instruction mnemonic
lldb.SBInstruction.operands => python string for instruction operands
lldb.SBInstruction.command => python string for instruction comment
SBModule now exposes:
lldb.SBModule.uuid => uuid.UUID(), an UUID object from the "uuid" python module
lldb.SBModule.symbol[int] => lldb.Symbol, lookup symbol by zero based index
lldb.SBModule.symbol[str] => list() of lldb.Symbol objects that match "str"
lldb.SBModule.symbol[re] => list() of lldb.Symbol objecxts that match the regex
lldb.SBModule.symbols => list() of all symbols in a module
SBAddress objects can now access the current load address with the "lldb.SBAddress.load_addr"
property. The current "lldb.target" will be used to try and resolve the load address.
Load addresses can also be set using this accessor:
addr = lldb.SBAddress()
addd.load_addr = 0x123023
Then you can check the section and offset to see if the address got resolved.
SBTarget now exposes:
lldb.SBTarget.module[int] => lldb.SBModule from zero based module index
lldb.SBTarget.module[str] => lldb.SBModule by basename or fullpath or uuid string
lldb.SBTarget.module[uuid.UUID()] => lldb.SBModule whose UUID matches
lldb.SBTarget.module[re] => list() of lldb.SBModule objects that match the regex
lldb.SBTarget.modules => list() of all lldb.SBModule objects in the target
SBSymbol now exposes:
lldb.SBSymbol.name => python string for demangled symbol name
lldb.SBSymbol.mangled => python string for mangled symbol name or None if there is none
lldb.SBSymbol.type => lldb.eSymbolType enum value
lldb.SBSymbol.addr => SBAddress object that represents the start address for this symbol (if there is one)
lldb.SBSymbol.end_addr => SBAddress for the end address of the symbol (if there is one)
lldb.SBSymbol.prologue_size => pythin int containing The size of the prologue in bytes
lldb.SBSymbol.instructions => SBInstructionList containing all instructions for this symbol
SBFunction now also has these new properties in addition to what is already has:
lldb.SBFunction.addr => SBAddress object that represents the start address for this function
lldb.SBFunction.end_addr => SBAddress for the end address of the function
lldb.SBFunction.instructions => SBInstructionList containing all instructions for this function
SBFrame now exposes the SBAddress for the frame:
lldb.SBFrame.addr => SBAddress which is the section offset address for the current frame PC
These are all in addition to what was already added. Documentation and website
updates coming soon.

due to RTTI worries since llvm and clang don't use RTTI, but I was able to
switch back with no issues as far as I can tell. Once the RTTI issue wasn't
an issue, we were looking for a way to properly track weak pointers to objects
to solve some of the threading issues we have been running into which naturally
led us back to std::tr1::weak_ptr. We also wanted the ability to make a shared
pointer from just a pointer, which is also easily solved using the
std::tr1::enable_shared_from_this class.
The main reason for this move back is so we can start properly having weak
references to objects. Currently a lldb_private::Thread class has a refrence
to its parent lldb_private::Process. This doesn't work well when we now hand
out a SBThread object that contains a shared pointer to a lldb_private::Thread
as this SBThread can be held onto by external clients and if they end up
using one of these objects we can easily crash.
So the next task is to start adopting std::tr1::weak_ptr where ever it makes
sense which we can do with lldb_private::Debugger, lldb_private::Target,
lldb_private::Process, lldb_private::Thread, lldb_private::StackFrame, and
many more objects now that they are no longer using intrusive ref counted
pointer objects (you can't do std::tr1::weak_ptr functionality with intrusive
pointers).

All of the commands now get globbed into a single line.
lldb.target, lldb.process, lldb.thread and lldb.frame now get initialized with
empty SBTarget, SBProcess, SBThread and SBFrame objects when they don't contain
anything.

Remove a pseudo terminal master open and slave file descriptor that was being
used for pythong stdin. It was not hooked up correctly and was causing file
descriptor leaks.

a) adds a new --synchronicity (-s) setting for "command script add" that allows the user to decide if scripted commands should run synchronously or asynchronously (which can make a difference in how events are handled)
b) clears up several error messages
c) adds a new --allow-reload (-r) setting for "command script import" that allows the user to reload a module even if it has already been imported before
d) allows filename completion for "command script import" (much like what happens for "target create")
e) prevents "command script add" from replacing built-in commands with scripted commands
f) changes AddUserCommand() to take an std::string instead of a const char* (for performance reasons)
plus, it fixes an issue in "type summary add" command handling which caused several test suite errors

- If you download and build the sources in the Xcode project, x86_64 builds
by default using the "llvm.zip" checkpointed LLVM.
- If you delete the "lldb/llvm.zip" and the "lldb/llvm" folder, and build the
Xcode project will download the right LLVM sources and build them from
scratch
- If you have a "lldb/llvm" folder already that contains a "lldb/llvm/lib"
directory, we will use the sources you have placed in the LLDB directory.
Python can now be disabled for platforms that don't support it.
Changed the way the libllvmclang.a files get used. They now all get built into
arch specific directories and never get merged into universal binaries as this
was causing issues where you would have to go and delete the file if you wanted
to build an extra architecture slice.

process IDs, and thread IDs, but was mainly needed for for the UserID's for
Types so that DWARF with debug map can work flawlessly. With DWARF in .o files
the type ID was the DIE offset in the DWARF for the .o file which is not
unique across all .o files, so now the SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap class will
make the .o file index part (the high 32 bits) of the unique type identifier
so it can uniquely identify the types.

shared pointers.
Changed the ExecutionContext over to use shared pointers for
the target, process, thread and frame since these objects can
easily go away at any time and any object that was holding onto
an ExecutionContext was running the risk of using a bad object.
Now that the shared pointers for target, process, thread and
frame are just a single pointer (they all use the instrusive
shared pointers) the execution context is much safer and still
the same size.
Made the shared pointers in the the ExecutionContext class protected
and made accessors for all of the various ways to get at the pointers,
references, and shared pointers.

stdarg formats to use __attribute__ format so the compiler can flag
incorrect uses. Fix all incorrect uses. Most of these are innocuous,
a few were resulting in crashes.

- 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

If you have a Python module foo, in order to use its contained objects in LLDB you do not need to use
'from foo import *'. You can use 'import foo', and then refer to items in foo as 'foo.bar', and LLDB
will know how to resolve bar as a member of foo.
Accordingly, GNU libstdc++ formatters have been moved from the global namespace to gnu_libstdcpp and a few
test cases are also updated to reflect the new convention. Python docs suggest using a plain 'import' en lieu of
'from-import'.
