cases when getting the clang type:
- need only a forward declaration
- need a clang type that can be used for layout (members and args/return types)
- need a full clang type
This allows us to partially parse the clang types and be as lazy as possible.
The first case is when we just need to declare a type and we will complete it
later. The forward declaration happens only for class/union/structs and enums.
The layout type allows us to resolve the full clang type _except_ if we have
any modifiers on a pointer or reference (both R and L value). In this case
when we are adding members or function args or return types, we only need to
know how the type will be laid out and we can defer completing the pointee
type until we later need it. The last type means we need a full definition for
the clang type.
Did some renaming of some enumerations to get rid of the old "DC" prefix (which
stands for DebugCore which is no longer around).
Modified the clang namespace support to be almost ready to be fed to the
expression parser. I made a new ClangNamespaceDecl class that can carry around
the AST and the namespace decl so we can copy it into the expression AST. I
modified the symbol vendor and symbol file plug-ins to use this new class.

Changed all of our synthesized "___clang" functions, types and variables
that get used in expressions over to have a prefix of "$_lldb". Now when we
do name lookups we can easily switch off of the first '$' character to know
if we should look through only our internal (when first char is '$') stuff,
or when we should look through program variables, functions and types.
Converted all of the clang expression code over to using "const ConstString&"
values for names instead of "const char *" since there were many places that
were converting the "const char *" names into ConstString names and them
throwing them away. We now avoid making a lot of ConstString conversions and
benefit from the quick comparisons in a few extra spots.
Converted a lot of code from LLVM coding conventions into LLDB coding
conventions.

results. The clang opaque type for the expression result will be added to the
Target's ASTContext, and the bytes will be stored in a DataBuffer inside
the new object. The class is named: ValueObjectConstResult
Now after an expression is evaluated, we can get a ValueObjectSP back that
contains a ValueObjectConstResult object.
Relocated the value object dumping code into a static function within
the ValueObject class instead of being in the CommandObjectFrame.cpp file
which is what contained the code to dump variables ("frame variables").

adding methods to C++ and objective C classes. In order to make methods, we
need the function prototype which means we need the arguments. Parsing these
could cause a circular reference that caused an assertion.
Added a new typedef for the clang opaque types which are just void pointers:
lldb::clang_type_t. This appears in lldb-types.h.
This was fixed by enabling struct, union, class, and enum types to only get
a forward declaration when we make the clang opaque qual type for these
types. When they need to actually be resolved, lldb_private::Type will call
a new function in the SymbolFile protocol to resolve a clang type when it is
not fully defined (clang::TagDecl::getDefinition() returns NULL). This allows
us to be a lot more lazy when parsing clang types and keeps down the amount
of data that gets parsed into the ASTContext for each module.
Getting the clang type from a "lldb_private::Type" object now takes a boolean
that indicates if a forward declaration is ok:
clang_type_t lldb_private::Type::GetClangType (bool forward_decl_is_ok);
So function prototypes that define parameters that are "const T&" can now just
parse the forward declaration for type 'T' and we avoid circular references in
the type system.

- If you put a semicolon at the end of an expression,
this no longer causes the expression parser to
error out. This was a two-part fix: first,
ClangExpressionDeclMap::Materialize now handles
an empty struct (such as when there is no return
value); second, ASTResultSynthesizer walks backward
from the end of the ASTs until it reaches something
that's not a NullStmt.
- ClangExpressionVariable now properly byte-swaps when
printing itself.
- ClangUtilityFunction now cleans up after itself when
it's done compiling itself.
- Utility functions can now use external functions just
like user expressions.
- If you end your expression with a statement that does
not return a value, the expression now runs correctly
anyway.
Also, added the beginnings of an Objective-C object
validator function, which is neither installed nor used
as yet.

storing pointers to objects inside a std::vector.
These objects can move around as the std::vector
changes, invalidating the pointers.

expression parser. There shouldn't be four separate
classes encapsulating a variable.
ClangExpressionVariable is now meant to be the
container for all variable information. It has
several optional components that hold data for
different subsystems.
ClangPersistentVariable has been removed; we now
use ClangExpressionVariable instead.
