Currently, SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap works on the assumption that there is
only one compile unit per object file. This patch documents this
limitation (when using the general SymbolFile API), and allows users of
the concrete SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap class to find out about these extra
compile units.

Now that we display an error when users try to get variables, but something in the debug info is preventing variables from showing up, track this with a new bool in each module's statistic information named "debugInfoHadVariableErrors".
This patch modifies the code to track when we have variable errors in a module and adds accessors to get/set this value. This value is used in the module statistics and we added a test to verify this value gets set correctly.

Summary:
Many times when debugging variables might not be available even though a user can successfully set breakpoints and stops somewhere. Letting the user know will help users fix these kinds of issues and have a better debugging experience.
Examples of this include:
- enabling -gline-tables-only and being able to set file and line breakpoints and yet see no variables
- unable to open object file for DWARF in .o file debugging for darwin targets due to modification time mismatch or not being able to locate the N_OSO file.
This patch adds an new API to SBValueList:
lldb::SBError lldb::SBValueList::GetError();
object so that if you request a stack frame's variables using SBValueList SBFrame::GetVariables(...), you can get an error the describes why the variables were not available.
This patch adds the ability to get an error back when requesting variables from a lldb_private::StackFrame when calling GetVariableList.
It also now shows an error in response to "frame variable" if we have debug info and are unable to get varialbes due to an error as mentioned above:
(lldb) frame variable
error: "a.o" object from the "/tmp/libfoo.a" archive: either the .o file doesn't exist in the archive or the modification time (0x63111541) of the .o file doesn't match

This reverts commit 967df65a36.
This fixes test/Shell/SymbolFile/NativePDB/find-functions.cpp. When
looking up functions with the PDB plugins, if we are looking for a
full function name, we should use `GetName` to populate the `name`
field instead of `GetLookupName` since `GetName` has the more
complete information.
Context:
When setting a breakpoint by name, we invoke Module::FindFunctions to
find the function(s) in question. However, we use a Module::LookupInfo
to first process the user-provided name and figure out exactly what
we're looking for. When we actually perform the function lookup, we
search for the basename. After performing the search, we then filter out
the results using Module::LookupInfo::Prune. For example, given
a:🅱️:foo we would first search for all instances of foo and then filter
out the results to just names that have a:🅱️:foo in them. As one can
imagine, this involves a lot of debug info processing that we do not
necessarily need to be doing. Instead of doing one large post-processing
step after finding each instance of `foo`, we can filter them as we go
to save time.
Some numbers:
Debugging LLDB and placing a breakpoint on
llvm::itanium_demangle::StringView::begin without this change takes
approximately 70 seconds and resolves 31,920 DIEs. With this change,
placing the breakpoint takes around 30 seconds and resolves 8 DIEs.

This mainly affects Darwin targets (macOS, iOS, tvOS and watchOS) when these targets don't use dSYM files and the debug info was in the .o files. All modules, including the .o files that are loaded by the debug maps, were in the global module list. This was great because it allows us to see each .o file and how much it contributes. There were virtual functions on the SymbolFile class to fetch the symtab/debug info parse and index times, and also the total debug info size. So the main executable would add all of the .o file's stats together and report them as its own data. Then the "totalDebugInfoSize" and many other "totalXXX" top level totals were all being added together. This stems from the fact that my original patch only emitted the modules for a target at the start of the patch, but as comments from the reviews came in, we switched to emitting all of the modules from the global module list.
So this patch fixes it so when we have a SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap that loads .o files, the main executable will have no debug info size or symtab/debug info parse/index times, but each .o file will have its own data as a separate module. Also, to be able to tell when/if we have a dSYM file I have added a "symbolFilePath" if the SymbolFile for the main modules path doesn't match that of the main executable. We also include a "symbolFileModuleIdentifiers" key in each module if the module does have multiple lldb_private::Module objects that contain debug info so that you can track down the information for a module and add up the contributions of all of the .o files.
Tests were added that are labeled with @skipUnlessDarwin and @no_debug_info_test that test all of this functionality so it doesn't regress.
For a module with a dSYM file, we can see the "symbolFilePath" is included:
```
"modules": [
{
"debugInfoByteSize": 1070,
"debugInfoIndexLoadedFromCache": false,
"debugInfoIndexSavedToCache": false,
"debugInfoIndexTime": 0,

"uuid": "E1F7D85B-3A42-321E-BF0D-29B103F5F2E3"
},
```
And for the DWARF in .o file case we can see the "symbolFileModuleIdentifiers" in the executable's module stats:
```
"modules": [
{
"debugInfoByteSize": 0,
"debugInfoIndexLoadedFromCache": false,
"debugInfoIndexSavedToCache": false,
"debugInfoIndexTime": 0,
"debugInfoParseTime": 0,

```
And the .o file for 4604429832 looks like:
```
{
"debugInfoByteSize": 1028,
"debugInfoIndexLoadedFromCache": false,

std::chrono::duration types are not thread-safe, and they cannot be

such a thing (only) in the DWARF indexing code
(DWARFUnit::ExtractDIEsRWLocked), but I think it can easily happen that
someone else tries to update another statistic like this without
bothering to check for thread safety.
This patch changes the StatsDuration type from a simple typedef into a
class in its own right. The class stores the duration internally as
std::atomic<uint64_t> (so it can be updated atomically), but presents it
to its users as the usual chrono type (duration<float>).

At the top level we add up all of the debug info size, parse time and index time with the following keys:

Summary:
All of our lookup APIs either use `CompilerDeclContext &` or `CompilerDeclContext *` semi-randomly it seems.
This leads to us constantly converting between those two types (and doing nullptr checks when going from
pointer to reference). It also leads to the confusing situation where we have two possible ways to express
that we don't have a CompilerDeclContex: either a nullptr or an invalid CompilerDeclContext (aka a default
constructed CompilerDeclContext).
This moves all APIs to use references and gets rid of all the nullptr checks and conversions.

Summary:
At the moment, when trying to import the `std` module in LLDB, we look at the imported modules used in the compiled program
and try to infer the Clang configuration we need from the DWARF module-import. That was the initial idea but turned out to
cause a few problems or inconveniences:
* It requires that users compile their programs with C++ modules. Given how experimental C++ modules are makes this feature inaccessible
for many users. Also it means that people can't just get the benefits of this feature for free when we activate it by default
(and we can't just close all the associated bug reports).
* Relying on DWARF's imported module tags (that are only emitted by default on macOS) means this can only be used when using DWARF (and with -glldb on Linux).
* We essentially hardcoded the C standard library paths on some platforms (Linux) or just couldn't support this feature on other platforms (macOS).
This patch drops the whole idea of looking at the imported module DWARF tags and instead just uses the support files of the compilation unit.
If we look at the support files and see file paths that indicate where the C standard library and libc++ are, we can just create the module
configuration this information. This fixes all the problems above which means we can enable all the tests now on Linux, macOS and with other debug information
than what we currently had. The only debug information specific code is now the iteration over external type module when -gmodules is used (as `std` and also the
`Darwin` module are their own external type module with their own files).
The meat of this patch is the CppModuleConfiguration which looks at the file paths from the compilation unit and then figures out the include paths
based on those paths. It's quite conservative in that it only enables modules if we find a single C library and single libc++ library. It's still missing some
test mode where we try to compile an expression before we actually activate the config for the user (which probably also needs some caching mechanism),
but for now it works and makes the feature usable.

Summary:
SymbolFile classes are responsible for creating CompileUnit instances
and they already need to have a notion of the id<->CompileUnit mapping
(because of APIs like ParseCompileUnitAtIndex). However, the
SymbolVendor has remained as the thing responsible for caching created
units (which the SymbolFiles were calling via convoluted constructs like
"m_obj_file->GetModule()->GetSymbolVendor()->SetCompileUnitAtIndex(...)").
This patch moves the responsibility of caching the units into the
SymbolFile class. It does this by moving the implementation of
SymbolVendor::{GetNumCompileUnits,GetCompileUnitAtIndex} into the
equivalent SymbolFile functions. The SymbolVendor functions become just
a passthrough much like the rest of SymbolVendor.
The original implementations of SymbolFile::GetNumCompileUnits is moved
to "CalculateNumCompileUnits", and are made protected, as the "Get"
function is the external api of the class.
SymbolFile::ParseCompileUnitAtIndex is made protected for the same
reason.
This is the first step in removing the SymbolVendor indirection, as
proposed in
<http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/lldb-dev/2019-June/015071.html>. After
removing all interesting logic from the SymbolVendor class, I'll proceed

Summary:
Type units don't describe any code, so they should never be the result
of any address lookup queries.
Previously, we would compute the address ranges for the type units for
via the line tables they reference because the type units looked a lot
like line-tables-only compile units. However, this is not correct, as
the line tables are only referenced from type units so that other
declarations can use the file names contained in them.
In this patch I make the BuildAddressRangeTable function virtual, and
implement it only for compile units.
Testing this was a bit tricky, because the behavior depends on the order
in which we add things to the address range map. This rarely caused a
problem with DWARF v4 type units, as they are always added after all
CUs. It happened more frequently with DWARF v5, as there clang emits the
type units first. However, this is still not something that it is
required to do, so for testing I've created an assembly file where I've
deliberately sandwiched a compile unit between two type units, which
should isolate us from both changes in how the compiler emits the units
and changes in the order we process them.

A lot of comments in LLDB are surrounded by an ASCII line to delimit the
begging and end of the comment.
Its use is not really consistent across the code base, sometimes the
lines are longer, sometimes they are shorter and sometimes they are
omitted. Furthermore, it looks kind of weird with the 80 column limit,
where the comment actually extends past the line, but not by much.
Furthermore, when /// is used for Doxygen comments, it looks
particularly odd. And when // is used, it incorrectly gives the
impression that it's actually a Doxygen comment.
I assume these lines were added to improve distinguishing between
comments and code. However, given that todays editors and IDEs do a
great job at highlighting comments, I think it's worth to drop this for
the sake of consistency. The alternative is fixing all the

This parameter was only ever used with the Module set, and
since a SymbolFile is tied to a module, the parameter turns
out to be entirely unnecessary. Furthermore, it doesn't make
a lot of sense to ask a caller to ask SymbolFile which is tied
to Module X to find types for Module Y, but that possibility
was open with the previous interface. By removing this
parameter from the API, it makes it harder to use incorrectly

Every callsite was passing an empty SymbolContext, so this parameter
had no effect. Inside the DWARF implementation of this function,

code path as well.

This method took a SymbolContext but only actually cared about the
case where the m_function member was set. Furthermore, it was
intended to be implemented to parse blocks recursively despite not
documenting this in its name. So we change the name to indicate
that it should be recursive, while also limiting the function
parameter to be a Function&. This lets the caller know what is
required to use it, as well as letting new implementers know what
kind of inputs they need to be prepared to handle.

Previously all of these functions accepted a SymbolContext&.
While a CompileUnit is one member of a SymbolContext, there
are also many others, and by passing such a monolithic parameter
in this way it makes the requirements and assumptions of the
API unclear for both callers as well as implementors.
All these methods need is a CompileUnit. By limiting the
parameter type in this way, we simplify the code as well as
make it self-documenting for both implementers and users.

The function SymbolFile::ParseTypes previously accepted a SymbolContext.
This makes it extremely difficult to implement faithfully, because you
have to account for all possible combinations of members being set in
the SymbolContext. On the other hand, no clients of this function
actually care about implementing this function to this strict of a
standard. AFAICT, there is actually only 1 client in the entire
codebase, and it is the function ParseAllDebugSymbols, which is itself
only called for testing purposes when dumping information. At this
call-site, the only field it sets is the CompileUnit, meaning that an
implementer of a SymbolFile need not worry about any examining or
handling any other fields which might be set.
By restricting this API to accept exactly a CompileUnit& and nothing
more, we can simplify the life of new SymbolFile plugin implementers by
making it clear exactly what the necessary and sufficient set of
functionality they need to implement is, while at the same time removing
some dead code that tried to handle other types of SymbolContext fields
that were never going to be set anyway.

`uint32_t`. We then pass it through all of LLDB this way, as a uint32.
This is unfortunate, because it means the user of an API never actually
knows what they're dealing with. We can call it something like
`resolve_scope` and have comments saying "this is a value from the
`SymbolContextItem` enumeration, but it makes more sense to just have it
actually *be* the correct type in the actual C++ type system to begin
with. This way the person reading the code just knows what it is.
The reason to use integers instead of enumerations for flags is because
when you do bitwise operations on enumerations they get promoted to
integers, so it makes it tedious to constantly be casting them back
to the enumeration types, so I've introduced a macro to make this
happen magically. By writing LLDB_MARK_AS_BITMASK_ENUM after defining
an enumeration, it will define overloaded operators so that the
returned type will be the original enum. This should address all
the mechanical issues surrounding using rich enum types directly.
This way, we get a better debugger experience, and new users to
the codebase can get more easily acquainted with the codebase because
their IDE features can help them understand what the types mean.

This patch teaches lldb to detect when there are missing frames in a
backtrace due to a sequence of tail calls, and to fill in the backtrace
with artificial tail call frames when this happens. This is only done
when the execution history can be determined from the call graph and
from the return PC addresses of calls on the stack. Ambiguous sequences
of tail calls (e.g anything involving tail calls and recursion) are
detected and ignored.
Depends on D49887.
