arguments are specified in a standardized way, will have a standardized name, and
have functioning help.
The next step is to start writing useful help for all the argument types.

command options; makes it easier to ensure that the same type of
argument will have the same name everywhere, hooks up help for command
arguments, so that users can ask for help when they are confused about
what an argument should be; puts in the beginnings of the ability to
do tab-completion for certain types of arguments, allows automatic
syntax help generation for commands with arguments, and adds command
arguments into command options help correctly.
Currently only the breakpoint-id and breakpoint-id-range arguments, in
the breakpoint commands, have been hooked up to use the new mechanism.
The next steps will be to fix the command options arguments to use
this mechanism, and to fix the rest of the regular command arguments
to use this mechanism. Most of the help text is currently missing or
dummy text; this will need to be filled in, and the existing argument
help text will need to be cleaned up a bit (it was thrown in quickly,
mostly for testing purposes).
Help command now works for all argument types, although the help may not
be very helpful yet.
Those commands that take "raw" command strings now indicate it in their
help text.

- All single character options will now be printed together
- Changed all options that contains underscores to contain '-' instead
- Made the help come out a little flatter by showing the long and short
option on the same line.
- Modified the short character for "--ignore-count" options to "-i"

accessed by the objects that own the settings. The previous approach wasn't
very usable and made for a lot of unnecessary code just to access variables
that were already owned by the objects.
While I fixed those things, I saw that CommandObject objects should really
have a reference to their command interpreter so they can access the terminal
with if they want to output usaage. Fixed up all CommandObjects to take
an interpreter and cleaned up the API to not need the interpreter to be
passed in.
Fixed the disassemble command to output the usage if no options are passed
down and arguments are passed (all disassebmle variants take options, there
are no "args only").

are always printed immediately after the command, before optional
options; also so that in the detailed descriptions of each command
option, the options and their help are output in alphabetical order
(sorted by the short option) rather in whatever order they happened to
be in the table.

Make get/set variable at the debugger level always set the particular debugger's instance variables rather than
the default variables.
llvm-svn: 113474
handles user settable internal variables (the equivalent of set/show
variables in gdb). In addition to the basic infrastructure (most of
which is defined in UserSettingsController.{h,cpp}, there are examples
of two classes that have been set up to contain user settable
variables (the Debugger and Process classes). The 'settings' command
has been modified to be a command-subcommand structure, and the 'set',
'show' and 'append' commands have been moved into this sub-commabnd
structure. The old StateVariable class has been completely replaced
by this, and the state variable dictionary has been removed from the
Command Interpreter. Places that formerly accessed the state variable
mechanism have been modified to access the variables in this new
structure instead (checking the term-width; getting/checking the
prompt; etc.)
Variables are attached to classes; there are two basic "flavors" of
variables that can be set: "global" variables (static/class-wide), and
"instance" variables (one per instance of the class). The whole thing
has been set up so that any global or instance variable can be set at
any time (e.g. on start up, in your .lldbinit file), whether or not
any instances actually exist (there's a whole pending and default
values mechanism to help deal with that).
llvm-svn: 113041
Add a way for the completers to say whether the completed argument should have a space inserted after is
or not.
Added the file name completer to the "file" command.

to the debugger from GUI windows. Previously there was one global debugger
instance that could be accessed that had its own command interpreter and
current state (current target/process/thread/frame). When a GUI debugger
was attached, if it opened more than one window that each had a console
window, there were issues where the last one to setup the global debugger
object won and got control of the debugger.
To avoid this we now create instances of the lldb_private::Debugger that each
has its own state:
- target list for targets the debugger instance owns
- current process/thread/frame
- its own command interpreter
- its own input, output and error file handles to avoid conflicts
- its own input reader stack
So now clients should call:
SBDebugger::Initialize(); // (static function)
SBDebugger debugger (SBDebugger::Create());
// Use which ever file handles you wish
debugger.SetErrorFileHandle (stderr, false);
debugger.SetOutputFileHandle (stdout, false);
debugger.SetInputFileHandle (stdin, true);
// main loop
SBDebugger::Terminate(); // (static function)
SBDebugger::Initialize() and SBDebugger::Terminate() are ref counted to
ensure nothing gets destroyed too early when multiple clients might be
attached.
Cleaned up the command interpreter and the CommandObject and all subclasses
to take more appropriate arguments.
