This is meant to cover cases such as the obvious
Base *base = new Derived();
where GetDynamicTypeAndAddress(base) would return the type "Derived", not "Derived *"

For C++ and ObjC, dynamic values are always (at least somewhat) pointer-like in nature, so a ValueType of scalar is actually good enough that it could originally be hardcoded as the right choice
Other languages, might have broader notions of things that are dynamic (e.g. a language where a value type can be dynamic). In those cases, it might actually be the case that a dynamic value is a pointer-to the data, or even a host address if dynamic expression results entirely in host space are being talked about
This patch enables the language runtime to make that decision, and makes ValueObjectDynamicValue comply with it

Summary:
This fixes an issue with GCC generated binaries wherein an expression
with method invocations on std::string variables was failing. Such use
cases are tested in TestSTL (albeit, in a test marked with
@unittest2.expectedFailure because of other reasons).
The reason for this particular failure with GCC is that the generated
DWARF for std::basic_string<...> is incomplete, which makes clang not
to use the alternate mangling scheme. GCC correctly generates the name
of basic_string<...>:
DW_AT_name "basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >"
It also lists the template parameters of basic_string correctly:
DW_TAG_template_type_parameter
DW_AT_name "_CharT"
DW_AT_type <0x0000009c>
DW_TAG_template_type_parameter
DW_AT_name "_Traits"
DW_AT_type <0x00000609>
DW_TAG_template_type_parameter
DW_AT_name "_Alloc"
DW_AT_type <0x000007fb>
However, it does not list the template parameters of std::char_traits<>.
This makes Clang feel (while parsing the expression) that the string
variable is not actually a basic_string instance, and consequently does
not use the alternate mangling scheme.
Test Plan:
dotest.py -C gcc -p TestSTL
-- See it go past the "for" loop expression successfully.

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.

Main changes in this patch include:
- cleanup plug-in interface and use ConstStrings for plug-in names
- Modfiied the BSD Archive plug-in to be able to pick out the correct .o file when .a files contain multiple .o files with the same name by using the timestamp
- Modified SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap to properly verify the timestamp on .o files it loads to ensure we don't load updated .o files and cause problems when debugging
The plug-in interface changes:
Modified the lldb_private::PluginInterface class that all plug-ins inherit from:
Changed:
virtual const char * GetPluginName() = 0;
To:
virtual ConstString GetPluginName() = 0;
Removed:
virtual const char * GetShortPluginName() = 0;
- Fixed up all plug-in to adhere to the new interface and to return lldb_private::ConstString values for the plug-in names.
- Fixed all plug-ins to return simple names with no prefixes. Some plug-ins had prefixes and most ones didn't, so now they all don't have prefixed names, just simple names like "linux", "gdb-remote", etc.

expressions that are simple enough to get passed to the "frame var" underpinnings. The parser code will
have to be changed to also query for the dynamic types & offsets as it is looking up variables.
The behavior of "frame var" is controlled in two ways. You can pass "-d {true/false} to the frame var
command to get the dynamic or static value of the variables you are printing.
There's also a general setting:
target.prefer-dynamic-value (boolean) = 'true'
which is consulted if you call "frame var" without supplying a value for the -d option.

an interface to a local or remote debugging platform. By default each host OS
that supports LLDB should be registering a "default" platform that will be
used unless a new platform is selected. Platforms are responsible for things
such as:
- getting process information by name or by processs ID
- finding platform files. This is useful for remote debugging where there is
an SDK with files that might already or need to be cached for debug access.
- getting a list of platform supported architectures in the exact order they
should be selected. This helps the native x86 platform on MacOSX select the
correct x86_64/i386 slice from universal binaries.
- Connect to remote platforms for remote debugging
- Resolving an executable including finding an executable inside platform
specific bundles (macosx uses .app bundles that contain files) and also
selecting the appropriate slice of universal files for a given platform.
So by default there is always a local platform, but remote platforms can be
connected to. I will soon be adding a new "platform" command that will support
the following commands:
(lldb) platform connect --name machine1 macosx connect://host:port
Connected to "machine1" platform.
(lldb) platform disconnect macosx
This allows LLDB to be well setup to do remote debugging and also once
connected process listing and finding for things like:
(lldb) process attach --name x<TAB>
The currently selected platform plug-in can now auto complete any available
processes that start with "x". The responsibilities for the platform plug-in
will soon grow and expand.
