Make breakpoint setting by file and line much more efficient by only looking for inlined breakpoint locations if we are setting a breakpoint in anything but a source implementation file. Implementing this complex for a many reasons. Turns out that parsing compile units lazily had some issues with respect to how we need to do things with DWARF in .o files. So the fixes in the checkin for this makes these changes:
- Add a new setting called "target.inline-breakpoint-strategy" which can be set to "never", "always", or "headers". "never" will never try and set any inlined breakpoints (fastest). "always" always looks for inlined breakpoint locations (slowest, but most accurate). "headers", which is the default setting, will only look for inlined breakpoint locations if the breakpoint is set in what are consudered to be header files, which is realy defined as "not in an implementation source file".
- modify the breakpoint setting by file and line to check the current "target.inline-breakpoint-strategy" setting and act accordingly
- Modify compile units to be able to get their language and other info lazily. This allows us to create compile units from the debug map and not have to fill all of the details in, and then lazily discover this information as we go on debuggging. This is needed to avoid parsing all .o files when setting breakpoints in implementation only files (no inlines). Otherwise we would need to parse the .o file, the object file (mach-o in our case) and the symbol file (DWARF in the object file) just to see what the compile unit was.
- modify the "SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap" to subclass lldb_private::Module so that the virtual "GetObjectFile()" and "GetSymbolVendor()" functions can be intercepted when the .o file contenst are later lazilly needed. Prior to this fix, when we first instantiated the "SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap" class, we would also make modules, object files and symbol files for every .o file in the debug map because we needed to fix up the sections in the .o files with information that is in the executable debug map. Now we lazily do this in the DebugMapModule::GetObjectFile()
Cleaned up header includes a bit as well.

- no setting auto completion
- very manual and error prone way of getting/setting variables
- tons of code duplication
- useless instance names for processes, threads
Now settings can easily be defined like option values. The new settings makes use of the "OptionValue" classes so we can re-use the option value code that we use to set settings in command options. No more instances, just "does the right thing".

setting breakpoints. That's dangerous, since while we are setting a breakpoint,
the target might hit the dyld load notification, and start removing modules from
the list. This change adds a GetMutex accessor to the ModuleList class, and
uses it whenever we are accessing the target's ModuleList (as returned by GetImages().)

the controlling plans so that they don't lose control.
Also change "ThreadPlanStepThrough" to take the return StackID for its backstop breakpoint as an argument
to the constructor rather than having it try to figure it out itself, since it might get it wrong whereas
the caller always knows where it is coming from.

spin up a temporary "private state thread" that will respond to events from the lower level process plugins. This check-in should work to do
that, but it is still buggy. However, if you don't call functions on the private state thread, these changes make no difference.
This patch also moves the code in the AppleObjCRuntime step-through-trampoline handler that might call functions (in the case where the debug
server doesn't support the memory allocate/deallocate packet) out to a safe place to do that call.

Fixed type lookups to "do the right thing". Prior to this fix, looking up a type using "foo::bar" would result in a type list that contains all types that had "bar" as a basename unless the symbol file was able to match fully qualified names (which our DWARF parser does not).
This fix will allow type matches to be made based on the basename and then have the types that don't match filtered out. Types by name can be fully qualified, or partially qualified with the new "bool exact_match" parameter to the Module::FindTypes() method.
This fixes some issue that we discovered with dynamic type resolution as well as improves the overall type lookups in LLDB.

This takes two important changes:
- Calling blocks is now supported. You need to
cast their return values, but that works fine.
- We now can correctly run JIT-compiled
expressions that use floating-point numbers.
Also, we have taken a fix that allows us to
ignore access control in Objective-C as in C++.

This fix really needed to happen as a previous fix I had submitted for
calculating symbol sizes made many symbols appear to have zero size since
the function that was calculating the symbol size was calling another function
that would cause the calculation to happen again. This resulted in some symbols
having zero size when they shouldn't. This could then cause infinite stack
traces and many other side affects.

I started work on being able to add symbol files after a debug session
had started with a new "target symfile add" command and quickly ran into
problems with stale Address objects in breakpoint locations that had
lldb_private::Section pointers into modules that had been removed or
replaced. This also let to grabbing stale modules from those sections.
So I needed to thread harded the Address, Section and related objects.
To do this I modified the ModuleChild class to now require a ModuleSP
on initialization so that a weak reference can created. I also changed
all places that were handing out "Section *" to have them hand out SectionSP.
All ObjectFile, SymbolFile and SymbolVendors were inheriting from ModuleChild
so all of the find plug-in, static creation function and constructors now
require ModuleSP references instead of Module *.
Address objects now have weak references to their sections which can
safely go stale when a module gets destructed.
This checkin doesn't complete the "target symfile add" command, but it
does get us a lot clioser to being able to do such things without a high
risk of crashing or memory corruption.

objects for the backlink to the lldb_private::Process. The issues we were
running into before was someone was holding onto a shared pointer to a
lldb_private::Thread for too long, and the lldb_private::Process parent object
would get destroyed and the lldb_private::Thread had a "Process &m_process"
member which would just treat whatever memory that used to be a Process as a
valid Process. This was mostly happening for lldb_private::StackFrame objects
that had a member like "Thread &m_thread". So this completes the internal
strong/weak changes.
Documented the ExecutionContext and ExecutionContextRef classes so that our
LLDB developers can understand when and where to use ExecutionContext and
ExecutionContextRef objects.
llvm-svn: 151009
the lldb_private::StackFrame objects hold onto a weak pointer to the thread
object. The lldb_private::StackFrame objects the the most volatile objects
we have as when we are doing single stepping, frames can often get lost or
thrown away, only to be re-created as another object that still refers to the
same frame. We have another bug tracking that. But we need to be able to
have frames no longer be able to get the thread when they are not part of
a thread anymore, and this is the first step (this fix makes that possible
but doesn't implement it yet).
Also changed lldb_private::ExecutionContextScope to return shared pointers to
all objects in the execution context to further thread harden the internals.
llvm-svn: 150871
internals. The first part of this is to use a new class:
lldb_private::ExecutionContextRef
This class holds onto weak pointers to the target, process, thread and frame
and it also contains the thread ID and frame Stack ID in case the thread and
frame objects go away and come back as new objects that represent the same
logical thread/frame.
ExecutionContextRef objcets have accessors to access shared pointers for
the target, process, thread and frame which might return NULL if the backing
object is no longer available. This allows for references to persistent program
state without needing to hold a shared pointer to each object and potentially
keeping that object around for longer than it needs to be.
You can also "Lock" and ExecutionContextRef (which contains weak pointers)
object into an ExecutionContext (which contains strong, or shared pointers)
with code like
ExecutionContext exe_ctx (my_obj->GetExectionContextRef().Lock());
llvm-svn: 150801
due to RTTI worries since llvm and clang don't use RTTI, but I was able to
switch back with no issues as far as I can tell. Once the RTTI issue wasn't
an issue, we were looking for a way to properly track weak pointers to objects
to solve some of the threading issues we have been running into which naturally
led us back to std::tr1::weak_ptr. We also wanted the ability to make a shared
pointer from just a pointer, which is also easily solved using the
std::tr1::enable_shared_from_this class.
The main reason for this move back is so we can start properly having weak
references to objects. Currently a lldb_private::Thread class has a refrence
to its parent lldb_private::Process. This doesn't work well when we now hand
out a SBThread object that contains a shared pointer to a lldb_private::Thread
as this SBThread can be held onto by external clients and if they end up
using one of these objects we can easily crash.
So the next task is to start adopting std::tr1::weak_ptr where ever it makes
sense which we can do with lldb_private::Debugger, lldb_private::Target,
lldb_private::Process, lldb_private::Thread, lldb_private::StackFrame, and
many more objects now that they are no longer using intrusive ref counted
pointer objects (you can't do std::tr1::weak_ptr functionality with intrusive
pointers).

describes an ObjC class, and so are not useful for things like dynamic types.

as part of the thread format output.
Currently this is only done for the ThreadPlanStepOut.
Add a convenience API ABI::GetReturnValueObject.
Change the ValueObject::EvaluationPoint to BE an ExecutionContextScope, rather than
trying to hand out one of its subsidiary object's pointers. That way this will always
be good.

size_t
SBProcess::ReadCStringFromMemory (addr_t addr, void *buf, size_t size, lldb::SBError &error);
uint64_t
SBProcess::ReadUnsignedFromMemory (addr_t addr, uint32_t byte_size, lldb::SBError &error);
lldb::addr_t
SBProcess::ReadPointerFromMemory (addr_t addr, lldb::SBError &error);
These ReadCStringFromMemory() has some SWIG type magic that makes it return the
python string directly and the "buf" is not needed:
error = SBError()
max_cstr_len = 256
cstr = lldb.process.ReadCStringFromMemory (0x1000, max_cstr_len, error)
if error.Success():
....
The other two functions behave as expteced. This will make it easier to get integer values
from the inferior process that are correctly byte swapped. Also for pointers, the correct
pointer byte size will be used.
Also cleaned up a few printf style warnings for the 32 bit lldb build on darwin.

and fixes we did. Now that objective C classes are represented by symbols with
their own type, there were a few more places in the objective C code that needed
to be fixed when searching for dynamic types.
Cleaned up the objective C runtime plug-in a bit to not keep having to create
constant strings and make one less memory access when we find an "isa" in the
objective C cache.
llvm-svn: 145799
to find Objective-C class types by looking in the
symbol tables for the individual object files.
I did this as follows:
- I added code to SymbolFileSymtab that vends
Clang types for symbols matching the pattern
"_OBJC_CLASS_$_NSMyClassName," making them
appear as Objective-C classes. This only occurs
in modules that do not have debug information,
since otherwise SymbolFileDWARF would be in
charge of looking up types.
- I made a new SymbolVendor subclass for the
Apple Objective-C runtime that is in charge of
making global lookups of Objective-C types. It
currently just sends out type lookup requests to
the appropriate SymbolFiles, but in the future we
will probably extend it to query the runtime more
completely.
I also modified a testcase whose behavior is changed
by the fact that we now actually return an Objective-C
type for __NSCFString.
llvm-svn: 145526
"object borked"... Also made the error when the checker fails reflect this fact rather than
report a crash at 0x0.
Also a little cleanup:
- StopInfoMachException had a redundant copy of the description string.
- ThreadPlanCallFunction had a redundant copy of the thread, and had a
copy of the process that it didn't really need.
llvm-svn: 143419
so we don't have to lookup types in a type list by ID.
Changed the DWARF parser to remove the "can externally complete myself" bits
from the type when we are in the process of completing the type itself to
avoid an onslaught of external visible decl requests from the
clang::ExternalASTSource.
llvm-svn: 142461
etc to specific source files.
Added SB API's to specify these source files & also more than one module.
Added an "exact" option to CompileUnit's FindLineEntry API.

shared pointers.
Changed the ExecutionContext over to use shared pointers for
the target, process, thread and frame since these objects can
easily go away at any time and any object that was holding onto
an ExecutionContext was running the risk of using a bad object.
Now that the shared pointers for target, process, thread and
frame are just a single pointer (they all use the instrusive
shared pointers) the execution context is much safer and still
the same size.
Made the shared pointers in the the ExecutionContext class protected
and made accessors for all of the various ways to get at the pointers,
references, and shared pointers.
