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

performing an inferior function call so the driver can skip
making that function call on that thread. Often the function
call can be executed on another thread instead.

You can either provide the function name, or function body text.
Also propagate the compilation error up from where it is checked so we can report compilation errors.

These changes were written by Greg Clayton, Jim Ingham, Jason Molenda.
It builds cleanly against TOT llvm with xcodebuild. I updated the
cmake files by visual inspection but did not try a build. I haven't
built these sources on any non-Mac platforms - I don't think this
patch adds any code that requires darwin, but please let me know if
I missed something.
In debugserver, MachProcess.cpp and MachTask.cpp were renamed to
MachProcess.mm and MachTask.mm as they picked up some new Objective-C
code needed to launch processes when running on iOS.

changing the data it returns; this change accepts either the old format or
the new format. It doesn't yet benefit from the new format's additions -
but I need to get this checked in so we aren't rev-locked.
Also add a missing .i entry for SBQueue::GetNumRunningItems() missing from
the last checkin.

Also remove SetStopOthers from the ThreadPlanCallFunction, because if the value you have doesn't match what is
in the EvaluateExpressionOptions the plan was passed when created it won't work correctly.

libldi library to collect extended backtrace information; switch
to the libBacktraceRecording library and its APIs. Complete the
work of adding QueueItems to Queues and allow for the QueueItems
to be interrogated about their extended backtraces in turn.
There's still cleanup and documentation to do on this code but the
code is functional and I it's a good time to get the work-in-progress
checked in.

The many many benefits include:
1 - Input/Output/Error streams are now handled as real streams not a push style input
2 - auto completion in python embedded interpreter
3 - multi-line input for "script" and "expression" commands now allow you to edit previous/next lines using up and down arrow keys and this makes multi-line input actually a viable thing to use
4 - it is now possible to use curses to drive LLDB (please try the "gui" command)
We will need to deal with and fix any buildbot failures and tests and arise now that input/output and error are correctly hooked up in all cases.

SBType SBType::GetTypedefedType();
Also added the ability to get a type by type ID from a SBModule:
SBType SBModule::GetTypeByID (lldb::user_id_t uid);
llvm-svn: 199939
The "type format add" command gets a new flag --type (-t). If you pass -t <sometype>, upon fetching the value for an object of your type,
LLDB will display it as-if it was of enumeration type <sometype>
This is useful in cases of non-contiguous enums where there are empty gaps of unspecified values, and as such one cannot type their variables as the enum type,
but users would still like to see them as-if they were of the enum type (e.g. DWARF field types with their user-reserved ranges)
The SB API has also been improved to handle both types of formats, and a test case is added

This patch adds a new lldb_private::SectionLoadHistory class that tracks what shared libraries were loaded given a process stop ID. This allows us to keep a history of the sections that were loaded for a time T. Many items in history objects will rely upon the process stop ID in the future.

Example code:
remote_platform = lldb.SBPlatform("remote-macosx");
remote_platform.SetWorkingDirectory("/private/tmp")
debugger.SetSelectedPlatform(remote_platform)
connect_options = lldb.SBPlatformConnectOptions("connect://localhost:1111");
err = remote_platform.ConnectRemote(connect_options)
if err.Success():
print >> result, 'Connected to remote platform:'
print >> result, 'hostname: %s' % (remote_platform.GetHostname())
src = lldb.SBFileSpec("/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/LLDB.framework", False)
dst = lldb.SBFileSpec()
# copy src to platform working directory since "dst" is empty
err = remote_platform.Install(src, dst);
if err.Success():
print >> result, '%s installed successfully' % (src)
else:
print >> result, 'error: failed to install "%s": %s' % (src, err)
Implemented many calls needed in lldb-platform to be able to install a directory that contains symlinks, file and directories.
The remote lldb-platform can now launch GDB servers on the remote system so that remote debugging can be spawned through the remote platform when connected to a remote platform.
The API in SBPlatform is subject to change and will be getting many new functions.

(and same thing to Thread base class) which can be used when looking
at an ExtendedBacktrace thread; it will try to find the IndexID() of
the original thread that was executing this backtrace when it was
recorded. If lldb can't find a record of that thread, it will return
the same value as IndexID() for the ExtendedBacktrace thread.

It completes the job of using EvaluateExpressionOptions consistently throughout
the inferior function calling mechanism in lldb begun in Greg's patch r194009.
It removes a handful of alternate calls into the ClangUserExpression/ClangFunction/ThreadPlanCallFunction which
were there for convenience. Using the EvaluateExpressionOptions removes the need for them.
Using that it gets the --debug option from Greg's patch to work cleanly.
It also adds another EvaluateExpressionOption to not trap exceptions when running expressions. You shouldn't
use this option unless you KNOW your expression can't throw beyond itself. This is:
<rdar://problem/15374885>
At present this is only available through the SB API's or python.
It fixes a bug where function calls would unset the ObjC & C++ exception breakpoints without checking whether
they were set by somebody else already.
