Currently, the DataExtractor::GetMaxU64Bitfield and GetMaxS64Bitfield
routines assume the incoming "bitfield_bit_offset" parameter uses
little-endian bit numbering, i.e. a bitfield_bit_offset 0 refers to
a bitfield whose least-significant bit coincides with the least-
significant bit of the surrounding integer.
On many big-endian systems, however, the big-endian bit numbering
is used for bit fields. Here, a bitfield_bit_offset 0 refers to
a bitfield whose most-significant bit conincides with the most-
significant bit of the surrounding integer.
Now, in principle LLDB could arbitrarily choose which semantics of
bitfield_bit_offset to use. However, there are two problems with
the current approach:
- When parsing DWARF, LLDB decodes bit offsets in little-endian
bit numbering on LE systems, but in big-endian bit numbering
on BE systems. Passing those offsets later on into the
DataExtractor routines gives incorrect results on BE.
- In the interim, LLDB's type layer combines byte and bit offsets
into a single number. I.e. instead of recording bitfields by
specifying the byte offset and byte size of the surrounding
integer *plus* the bit offset of the bit field within that field,
it simply records a single bit offset number.
Now, note that converting from byte offset + bit offset to a
single offset value and back is well-defined if we either use
little-endian byte order *and* little-endian bit numbering,
or use big-endian byte order *and* big-endian bit numbering.
Any other combination will yield incorrect results.
Therefore, the simplest approach would seem to be to always use
the bit numbering that matches the system byte order. This makes
storing a single bit offset valid, and makes the existing DWARF
code correct. The only place to fix is to teach DataExtractor
to use big-endian bit numbering on big endian systems.
However, there is only additional caveat: we also get bit offsets
from LLDB synthetic bitfields. While the exact semantics of those
doesn't seem to be well-defined, from test cases it appears that
the intent was for the user-provided synthetic bitfield offset to
always use little-endian bit numbering. Therefore, on a big-endian
system we now have to convert those to big-endian bit numbering
to remain consistent.

This latter determination may or may not be possible on a per-language basis; and neither is mandatory to implement for any language
Use this knowledge in the ValueObjectPrinter to generalize the notion of IsObjCNil() and the respective printout
llvm-svn: 252663
In this way, when a language needs to tell itself things that are not bound to a type but to a value (imagine a base-class relation, this is not about the type, but about the ValueObject), it can do so in a clean and general fashion
The interpretation of the values of the flags is, of course, up to the language that owns the value (the value object's runtime language, that is)
llvm-svn: 252503
Summary:
Along with this, support for an optional argument to the "num_children"
method of a Python synthetic child provider has also been added. These have
been added with the following use case in mind:
Synthetic child providers currently have a method "has_children" and
"num_children". While the former is good enough to know if there are
children, it does not give any insight into how many children there are.
Though the latter serves this purpose, calculating the number for children
of a data structure could be an O(N) operation if the data structure has N
children. The new method added in this change provide a middle ground.
One can call GetNumChildren(K) to know if a child exists at an index K
which can be as large as the callers tolerance can be. If the caller wants
to know about children beyond K, it can make an other call with 2K. If the
synthetic child provider maintains state about it counting till K
previosly, then the next call is only an O(K) operation. Infact, all
calls made progressively with steps of K will be O(K) operations.

Create a new "lldb_private::CompilerDeclContext" class that will replace all direct uses of "clang::DeclContext" when used in compiler agnostic code, yet still allow for conversion to clang::DeclContext subclasses by clang specific code. This completes the abstraction of type parsing by removing all "clang::" references from the SymbolFileDWARF. The new "lldb_private::CompilerDeclContext" class abstracts decl contexts found in compiler type systems so they can be used in internal API calls. The TypeSystem is required to support CompilerDeclContexts with new pure virtual functions that start with "DeclContext" in the member function names. Converted all code that used lldb_private::ClangNamespaceDecl over to use the new CompilerDeclContext class and removed the ClangNamespaceDecl.cpp and ClangNamespaceDecl.h files.
Removed direct use of clang APIs from SBType and now use the abstract type systems to correctly explore types.

And they also do not have a thread/frame attached to them
That makes dynamic and synthetic values attached to them impossible to update - which, among other things, makes it impossible to properly display persistent variables of types that could have such dynamic/persistent values

A runtime support value is a ValueObject whose only purpose is to support some language runtime's operation, but it does not directly provide any user-visible benefit
As such, unless the user is working on the runtime support, it is mostly safe for them not to see such a value when debugging
It is a language runtime's job to check whether a ValueObject is a support value, and that - in conjunction with a target setting - is used by frame variable and target variable
SBFrame::GetVariables gets a new overload with yet another flag to dictate whether to return those support values to the caller - that which defaults to the setting's value

llvm-svn: 227282
This is necessary because the byte size of an ObjC class type is not reliably statically knowable (e.g. because superclasses sit deep in frameworks that we have no debug info for)
The lack of reliable size info is a problem when trying to freeze-dry an ObjC instance (not the pointer, the pointee)

Most of the time, we can use context information just fine to choose a language (i.e. the language of the frame that the root object was defined in, if any); but in some cases, synthetic children may be fabricated as root frame-less entities, and then we wouldn't know any better

Because of the way they are created, synthetic children cannot (in general) have a sane expression path
A solution to this would be letting the parent front-end generate expression paths for its children
Doing so requires a significant amount of refactoring, and might not always lead to better results (esp. w.r.t. C++ templates)
This commit takes a simpler approach:
- if a synthetic child is of pointer type and it's a target pointer, then emit *((T)value)
- if a synthetic child is a non-pointer, but its location is in the target, then emit *((T*)loadAddr)
- if a synthetic child has a value, emit ((T)value)
- else, don't emit anything

The way to do this is to write a synthetic child provider for your type, and have it vend the (optional) get_value function.
If get_value is defined, and it returns a valid SBValue, that SBValue's value (as in lldb_private::Value) will be used as the synthetic ValueObject's Value
The rationale for doing things this way is twofold:
- there are many possible ways to define a "value" (SBData, a Python number, ...) but SBValue seems general enough as a thing that stores a "value", so we just trade values that way and that keeps our currency trivial
- we could introduce a new level of layering (ValueObjectSyntheticValue), a new kind of formatter (synthetic value producer), but that would complicate the model (can I have a dynamic with no synthetic children but synthetic value? synthetic value with synthetic children but no dynamic?), and I really couldn't see much benefit to be reaped from this added complexity in the matrix
On the other hand, just defining a synthetic child provider with a get_value but returning no actual children is easy enough that it's not a significant road-block to adoption of this feature
Comes with a test case
llvm-svn: 219330
Rationale:
Pretty simply, the idea is that sometimes type names are way too long and contain way too many details for the average developer to care about. For instance, a plain ol' vector of int might be shown as
std::__1::vector<int, std::__1::allocator<....
rather than the much simpler std::vector<int> form, which is what most developers would actually type in their code
Proposed solution:
Introduce a notion of "display name" and a corresponding API GetDisplayTypeName() to return such a crafted for visual representation type name
Obviously, the display name and the fully qualified (or "true") name are not necessarily the same - that's the whole point
LLDB could choose to pick the "display name" as its one true notion of a type name, and if somebody really needs the fully qualified version of it, let them deal with the problem
Or, LLDB could rename what it currently calls the "type name" to be the "display name", and add new APIs for the fully qualified name, making the display name the default choice
The choice that I am making here is that the type name will keep meaning the same, and people who want a type name suited for display will explicitly ask for one
It is the less risky/disruptive choice - and it should eventually make it fairly obvious when someone is asking for the wrong type
Caveats:
- for now, GetDisplayTypeName() == GetTypeName(), there is no logic to produce customized display type names yet.
- while the fully-qualified type name is still the main key to the kingdom of data formatters, if we start showing custom names to people, those should match formatters
llvm-svn: 209072
Set the correct FormatManager revision before starting to figure out the new formatters
This can avoid entering some corner cases where as part of figuring out formatters we try to figure out dynamic types, and in turn that causes us to go back in trying to fetch new formatters - it is not only a futile exercise, it's also prone to endless recursion
This would only cause a behavior change if getting this chain started would eventually cause something to run and alter the formatters, a very unlikely if at all possible sequence of events

2 - auto completion in python embedded interpreter

4 - it is now possible to use curses to drive LLDB (please try the "gui" command)

llvm-svn: 200263
The "type format add" command gets a new flag --type (-t). If you pass -t <sometype>, upon fetching the value for an object of your type,
LLDB will display it as-if it was of enumeration type <sometype>
This is useful in cases of non-contiguous enums where there are empty gaps of unspecified values, and as such one cannot type their variables as the enum type,
but users would still like to see them as-if they were of the enum type (e.g. DWARF field types with their user-reserved ranges)
The SB API has also been improved to handle both types of formats, and a test case is added
llvm-svn: 198105
TypeFormatImpl used to just wrap a Format (and Flags for matching), and then ValueObject itself would do the printing deed
