PyTuple_SetItem steals a reference to the item it inserts in the tuple
This, plus the Py_XDECREF of the tuple a few lines below, causes our session dictionary to go away after the first time a SWIG layer function is called - with disastrous effects for the first subsequent attempt to use any functionality in ScriptInterpreterPython
This fixes it
llvm-svn: 200429
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.

pure virtual base class and made StackFrame a subclass of that. As
I started to build on top of that arrangement today, I found that it
wasn't working out like I intended. Instead I'll try sticking with
the single StackFrame class -- there's too much code duplication to
make a more complicated class hierarchy sensible I think.
llvm-svn: 193983
defines a protocol that all subclasses will implement. StackFrame
is currently the only subclass and the methods that Frame vends are
nearly identical to StackFrame's old methods.
Update all callers to use Frame*/Frame& instead of pointers to
StackFrames.
This is almost entirely a mechanical change that touches a lot of
the code base so I'm committing it alone. No new functionality is
added with this patch, no new subclasses of Frame exist yet.
I'll probably need to tweak some of the separation, possibly moving
some of StackFrame's methods up in to Frame, but this is a good
starting point.

When debugging with the GDB remote in LLDB, LLDB uses special packets to discover the
registers on the remote server. When those packets aren't supported, LLDB doesn't
know what the registers look like. This checkin implements a setting that can be used
to specify a python file that contains the registers definitions. The setting is:
(lldb) settings set plugin.process.gdb-remote.target-definition-file /path/to/module.py
Inside module there should be a function:
def get_dynamic_setting(target, setting_name):
This dynamic setting function is handed the "target" which is a SBTarget, and the
"setting_name", which is the name of the dynamic setting to retrieve. For the GDB
remote target definition the setting name is 'gdb-server-target-definition'. The
return value is a dictionary that follows the same format as the OperatingSystem
plugins follow. I have checked in an example file that implements the x86_64 GDB
register set for people to see:
examples/python/x86_64_target_definition.py
This allows LLDB to debug to any archticture that is support and allows users to
define the registers contexts when the discovery packets (qRegisterInfo, qHostInfo)
are not supported by the remote GDB server.
A few benefits of doing this in Python:
1 - The dynamic register context was already supported in the OperatingSystem plug-in
2 - Register contexts can use all of the LLDB enumerations and definitions for things
like lldb::Format, lldb::Encoding, generic register numbers, invalid registers
numbers, etc.
3 - The code that generates the register context can use the program to calculate the
register context contents (like offsets, register numbers, and more)
4 - True dynamic detection could be used where variables and types could be read from
the target program itself in order to determine which registers are available since
the target is passed into the python function.
This is designed to be used instead of XML since it is more dynamic and code flow and
functions can be used to make the dictionary.
llvm-svn: 192646
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
llvm-svn: 185240
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
llvm-svn: 184893
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
