For Hexagon we want to be able to call functions during debugging, however currently lldb only supports this when there is JIT support.
Although emulation using IR interpretation is an alternative, it is currently limited in that it can't make function calls.
In this patch we have extended the IR interpreter so that it can execute a function call on the target using register manipulation.
To do this we need to handle the Call IR instruction, passing arguments to a new thread plan and collecting any return values to pass back into the IR interpreter.
The new thread plan is needed to call an alternative ABI interface of "ABI::PerpareTrivialCall()", allowing more detailed information about arguments and return values.

expr_options = lldb.SBExpressionOptions()

expr_result = frame.EvaluateExpression ("Foo foo = { 1, 2, 3}; foo", expr_options)
This fixed a current issue with ptr_refs, cstr_refs and malloc_info so that they can work. If expressions define their own types and then return expression results that use those types, those types get copied into the target's AST context so they persist and the expression results can be still printed and used in future expressions. Code was added to the expression parser to copy the context in which types are defined if they are used as the expression results. So in the case of types defined by expressions, they get defined in a lldb_expr function and that function and _all_ of its statements get copied. Many types of statements are not supported in this copy (array subscript, lambdas, etc) so this causes expressions to fail as they can't copy the result types. To work around this issue I have added code that allows expressions to specify an expression specific prefix. Then when you evaluate the expression you can pass the "expr_options" and have types that can be correctly copied out into the target. I added this as a way to work around an issue, but I also think it is nice to be allowed to specify an expression prefix that can be reused by many expressions, so this feature is very useful.

module-loading support for the expression parser.
- It adds support for auto-loading modules referred
to by a compile unit. These references are
currently in the form of empty translation units.
This functionality is gated by the setting
target.auto-import-clang-modules (boolean) = false
- It improves and corrects support for loading
macros from modules, currently by textually
pasting all #defines into the user's expression.
The improvements center around including only those
modules that are relevant to the current context -
hand-loaded modules and the modules that are imported
from the current compile unit.
- It adds an "opt-in" mechanism for all of this
functionality. Modules have to be explicitly
imported (via @import) or auto-loaded (by enabling
the above setting) to enable any of this
functionality.
It also adds support to the compile unit and symbol
file code to deal with empty translation units that
indicate module imports, and plumbs this through to
the CompileUnit interface.
Finally, it makes the following changes to the test
suite:
- It adds a testcase that verifies that modules are
automatically loaded when the appropriate setting
is enabled (lang/objc/modules-auto-import); and
- It modifies lanb/objc/modules-incomplete to test
the case where a module #undefs something that is
#defined in another module.

all the macros from the modules the user has loaded.
These macros are currently imported textually into
the expression's source code, which turns out not to
impose the horrific string processing overhead that
I thought it would, but I still plan to look into
performance improvements.
Also modified TestCModules to test that this works.

and to view the current thread plan stack and to some extent alter it.
I haven't gotten to documentation or tests yet. But this should not cause any behavior changes
if you don't use it, so its safe to check it in now and work on it incrementally.

This patch creates a HostInfo class, a static class used to answer
basic queries about the host platform. As part of this change,
some functionality is moved from Host to HostInfo, and relevant
fixups are performed in the rest of the codebase.
This is part of a larger effort to isolate more code in the Host
layer into platform-specific groups, to make it easier to make
platform specific changes for a particular Host without breaking
other hosts.

First we will stop at the entry point of the expression before it runs, then we can step over a few times and hit the breakpoint in "puts", then we can continue and finishing stepping and fininsh the expression.
Main features:
- New ObjectFileJIT class that can be easily created for JIT functions
- debug info can now be enabled when parsing expressions
- source for any function that is run throught the JIT is now saved in LLDB process specific temp directory and cleaned up on exit
- "expr -g --" allows you to single step through your expression function with source code

This is a mechanical cleanup of unused functions. In the case where the
functions are referenced (in comment form), I've simply commented out the
functions. A second pass to clean that up is warranted.
The functions which are otherwise unused have been removed. Some of these were
introduced in the initial commit and not in use prior to that point!

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:

Cleaned up ClangUserExpression::Evaluate() to have only one variant that takes a "const EvaluateExpressionOptions& options" instead of taking many arguments.
The "--debug" option is designed to allow you to debug your expression by stopping at the first instruction (it enables --ignore-breakpoints=true and --unwind-on-error=false) and allowing you to step through your JIT code. It needs to be more integrated with the thread plan, so I am checking this in so Jim Ingham can make it happen.

I started to build on top of that arrangement today, I found that it

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

A long time ago we start with clang types that were created by the symbol files and there were many functions in lldb_private::ClangASTContext that helped. Later we create ClangASTType which contains a clang::ASTContext and an opauque QualType, but we didn't switch over to fully using it. There were a lot of places where we would pass around a raw clang_type_t and also pass along a clang::ASTContext separately. This left room for error.
This checkin change all type code over to use ClangASTType everywhere and I cleaned up the interfaces quite a bit. Any code that was in ClangASTContext that was type related, was moved over into ClangASTType. All code that used these types was switched over to use all of the new goodness.

mostly related to management of the stack frame
for the interpreter.
- First, if the expression can be interpreted,
allocate the stack frame in the target process
(to make sure pointers are valid) but only
read/write to the copy in the host's memory.
- Second, keep the memory allocations for the
stack frame and the materialized struct as
member variables of ClangUserExpression. This
avoids memory allocations and deallocations
each time the expression runs.

Previously, the options for a breakopint or its
locations stored only the text of the breakpoint
condition (ironically, they used ClangUserExpression
as a glorified std::string) and, each time the condition
had to be evaluated in the StopInfo code, the expression
parser would be invoked via a static method to parse and
then execute the expression.
I made several changes here:
- Each breakpoint location now has its own
ClangUserExpressionSP containing a version of
the breakpoint expression compiled for that exact
location.
- Whenever the breakpoint is hit, the breakpoint
condition expression is simply re-run to determine
whether to stop.
- If the process changes (e.g., it's re-run) or
the source code of the expression changes (we use
a hash so as to avoid doing string comparisons)
the ClangUserExpressionSP is re-generated.
This should improve performance of breakpoint
conditions significantly, and takes advantage of
the recent expression re-use work.
llvm-svn: 179838
expressions.
Previously, ClangUserExpression assumed that if
there was a constant result for an expression
then it could be determined during parsing. In
particular, the IRInterpreter ran while parser
state (in particular, ClangExpressionDeclMap)
was present. This approach is flawed, because
the IRInterpreter actually is capable of using
external variables, and hence the result might
be different each run. Until now, we papered
over this flaw by re-parsing the expression each
time we ran it.
I have rewritten the IRInterpreter to be
completely independent of the ClangExpressionDeclMap.
Instead of special-casing external variable lookup,
which ties the IRInterpreter closely to LLDB,
we now interpret the exact same IR that the JIT
would see. This IR assumes that materialization
has occurred; hence the recent implementation of the
Materializer, which does not require parser state
(in the form of ClangExpressionDeclMap) to be
present.
Materialization, interpretation, and dematerialization
are now all independent of parsing. This means that
in theory we can parse expressions once and run them
many times. I have three outstanding tasks before
shutting this down:
- First, I will ensure that all of this works with
core files. Core files have a Process but do not
allow allocating memory, which currently confuses
materialization.
- Second, I will make expression breakpoint
conditions remember their ClangUserExpression and
re-use it.
- Third, I will tear out all the redundant code
(for example, materialization logic in
ClangExpressionDeclMap) that is no longer used.
While implementing this fix, I also found a bug in
IRForTarget's handling of floating-point constants.
This should be fixed.

Materializer for all expressions that need to
run in the target. This includes the following
changes:
- Removed a bunch of (de-)materialization code
from ClangExpressionDeclMap and assumed the
presence of a Materializer where we previously
had a fallback.
- Ensured that an IRMemoryMap is passed into
ClangExpressionDeclMap::Materialize().
- Fixed object ownership on LLVMContext; it is
now owned by the IRExecutionUnit, since the
Module and the ExecutionEngine both depend on
its existence.
- Fixed a few bugs in IRMemoryMap and the
Materializer that showed up during testing.
