This is the first in a series of patches that will adds a new processor trace plug-in to LLDB.
The idea for this first patch to to add the plug-in interface with simple commands for the trace files that can "load" and "dump" the trace information. We can test the functionality and ensure people are happy with the way things are done and how things are organized before moving on to adding more functionality.
Processor trace information can be view in a few different ways:
- post mortem where a trace is saved off that can be viewed later in the debugger
- gathered while a process is running and allow the user to step back in time (with no variables, memory or registers) to see how each thread arrived at where it is currently stopped.
This patch attempts to start with the first solution of loading a trace file after the fact. The idea is that we will use a JSON file to load the trace information. JSON allows us to specify information about the trace like:
- plug-in name in LLDB
- path to trace file
- shared library load information so we can re-create a target and symbolicate the information in the trace
- any other info that the trace plug-in will need to be able to successfully parse the trace information
- cpu type
- version info
- ???
A new "trace" command was added at the top level of the LLDB commmands:
- "trace load"
- "trace dump"
I did this because if we load trace information we don't need to have a process and we might end up creating a new target for the trace information that will become active. If anyone has any input on where this would be better suited, please let me know. Walter Erquinigo will end up filling in the Intel PT specific plug-in so that it works and is tested once we can agree that the direction of this patch is the correct one, so please feel free to chime in with ideas on comments!

Currently it is hard to avoid having LLVM link to the system install of
ncurses, since it uses check_library_exists to find e.g. libtinfo and
not find_library or find_package.
With this change the ncurses lib is found with find_library, which also
considers CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH. This solves an issue for the spack package
manager, where we want to use the zlib installed by spack, and spack
provides the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH for it.
This is a similar change as https://reviews.llvm.org/D79219, which just

In some cases when we have a DW_AT_const_value and the data can be found in the

Extract all the provider related logic from Reproducer.h and move it

This is relanding D81001. The patch originally failed as on newer editline
versions it seems CC_REFRESH will move the cursor to the start of the line via
\r and then back to the original position. On older editline versions like
the one used by default on macOS, CC_REFRESH doesn't move the cursor at all.
As the patch changed the way we handle tab completion (previously we did
REDISPLAY but now we're doing CC_REFRESH), this caused a few completion tests
to receive this unexpected cursor movement in the output stream.
This patch updates those tests to also accept output that contains the specific
cursor movement commands (\r and then \x1b[XC). lldbpexpect.py received an
utility method for generating the cursor movement escape sequence.
Original summary:
I implemented autosuggestion if there is one possible suggestion.
I set the keybinds for every character. When a character is typed, Editline::TypedCharacter is called.
Then, autosuggestion part is displayed in gray, and you can actually input by typing C-k.
Editline::Autosuggest is a function for finding completion, and it is like Editline::TabCommand now, but I will add more features to it.
Testing does not work well in my environment, so I can't confirm that it goes well, sorry. I am dealing with it now.

When bit-field data was stored in a Scalar in ValueObjectChild during UpdateValue()
it was extracting the bit-field value. Later on in lldb_private::DumpDataExtractor(…)
we were again attempting to extract the bit-field. Which would then not obtain the
correct value. This will remove the extra extraction in UpdateValue().
We hit this specific case when values are passed in registers, which we could only

On Hexagon, breakpoints need to be on the first instruction of a packet.
When the LLVM disassembler for Hexagon returned 32 bit instructions, we
needed code to find the start of the current packet. Now that the LLVM
disassembler for Hexagon returns packets instead of instructions, we always
have the first instruction of the packet. Remove the packet traversal code
because it can cause problems when the next packet has more than one

This patch has no effect for C and C++. In more dynamic languages,
such as Objective-C and Swift GetByteSize() needs to call into the
language runtime, so it's important to pass one in where possible. My
primary motivation for this is some work I'm doing on the Swift
branch, however, it looks like we are also seeing warnings in
Objective-C that this may resolve. Everything in the SymbolFile
hierarchy still passes in nullptrs, because we don't have an execution
context in SymbolFile, since SymbolFile transcends processes.

Summary:
When modules reference each other (which happens for example with the different
modules LLDB loads when debugging -gmodules-compiled binaries), just iterating
over the module list once isn't good enough to find all orphans. Any removed
modules in the module list will also clear up the shared pointers they hold to
other modules, so after any module was removed from the list, LLDB should
iterate again and check if any additional modules can no be safely deleted.
This is currently causing that many gmodules tests are not cleaning up all
allocated modules which causes cleanup asserts to fail (right now these asserts
just mark the test as unsupported, but after D83865 the tests will start
failing).

The problem is that synthetic value objects can sometimes represent objects in target memory, and other times they might be made up wholly in lldb memory, with pointers from one synthetic object to another, and so the ValueObjectVariable computation was not appropriate.
This patch delegates the computation to the root of the ValueObject in question. That solves the problem for ValueObjectVariable while not messing up the computation for ValueObjectConstResult or ValueObjectSynthetic.

The patch fixes a crash in ValueObject::CreateChildAtIndex caused by a
null pointer dereferencing. This is a corner case that is happening when

Summary:
The Scalar class claims to follow the C type conversion rules. This is
true for the Promote function, but it is not true for the implicit
conversions done in the getter methods.
These functions had a subtle bug: when extending the type, they used the
signedness of the *target* type in order to determine whether to do
sign-extension or zero-extension. This is not how things work in C,
which uses the signedness of the *source* type. I.e., C does
(sign-)extension before it does signed->unsigned conversion, and not the
other way around.
This means that: (unsigned long)(int)-1
is equal to (unsigned long)0xffffffffffffffff
and not (unsigned long)0x00000000ffffffff
Unsurprisingly, we have accumulated code which depended on this
inconsistent behavior. It mainly manifested itself as code calling
"ULongLong/SLongLong" as a way to get the value of the Scalar object in
a primitive type that is "large enough". Previously, the ULongLong
conversion did not do sign-extension, but now it does.
This patch makes the Scalar getters consistent with the declared
semantics, and fixes the couple of call sites that were using it
incorrectly.
