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
inconsistencies, which would create a lot more churn.

The `ap` suffix is a remnant of lldb's former use of auto pointers,
before they got deprecated. Although all their uses were replaced by
unique pointers, some variables still carried the suffix.
In r353795 I removed another auto_ptr remnant, namely redundant calls to
::get for unique_pointers. Jim justly noted that this is a good
opportunity to clean up the variable names as well.
I went over all the changes to ensure my find-and-replace didn't have
any undesired side-effects. I hope I didn't miss any, but if you end up
at this commit doing a git blame on a weirdly named variable, please
know that the change was unintentional.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

They both run the same command, and people get used to typing the shortest
string they can, so we should support alias info on shortened strings as well.

This patch removes the comments grouping header includes. They were
added after running IWYU over the LLDB codebase. However they add little
value, are often outdates and burdensome to maintain.
llvm-svn: 346626
Summary:
This patch refactors the internal completion API. It now takes (as far as possible) a single
CompletionRequest object instead o half a dozen in/out/in-out parameters. The CompletionRequest
contains a common superset of the different parameters as far as it makes sense. This includes
the raw command line string and raw cursor position, which should make the `expr` command
possible to implement (at least without hacks that reconstruct the command line from the args).
This patch is not intended to change the observable behavior of lldb in any way. It's also as
minimal as possible and doesn't attempt to fix all the problems the API has.
Some Q&A:
Q: Why is this not fixing all the problems in the completion API?
A: Because is a blocker for the expr command completion which I want to get in ASAP. This is the
smallest patch that unblocks the expr completion patch and which allows trivial refactoring in the future.
The patch also doesn't really change the internal information flow in the API, so that hopefully
saves us from ever having to revert and resubmit this humongous patch.
Q: Can we merge all the copy-pasted code in the completion methods
(like computing the current incomplete arg) into CompletionRequest class?
A: Yes, but it's out of scope for this patch.
Q: Why the `word_complete = request.GetWordComplete(); ... ` pattern?
A: I don't want to add a getter that returns a reference to the internal integer. So we have
to use a temporary variable and the Getter/Setter instead. We don't throw exceptions
from what I can tell, so the behavior doesn't change.
Q: Why are we not owning the list of matches?
A: Because that's how the previous API works. But that should be fixed too (in another patch).
Q: Can we make the constructor simpler and compute some of the values from the plain command?
A: I think this works, but I rather want to have this in a follow up commit. Especially when making nested
request it's a bit awkward that the parsed arguments behave as both input/output (as we should in theory
propagate the changes on the nested request back to the parent request if we don't want to change the
behavior too much).
Q: Can't we pass one const request object and then just return another result object instead of mixing
them together in one in/out parameter?
A: It's hard to get keep the same behavior with that pattern, but I think we can also get a nice API with just
a single request object. If we make all input parameters read-only, we have a clear separation between what
is actually an input and what an output parameter (and hopefully we get rid of the in-out parameters).
Q: Can we throw out the 'match' variables that are not implemented according to the comment?
A: We currently just forward them as in the old code to the different methods, even though I think
they are really not used. We can easily remove and readd them once every single completion method just
takes a CompletionRequest, but for now I prefer NFC behavior from the perspective of the API user.

This is a large API change that removes the two functions from
StreamString that return a std::string& and a const std::string&,
and instead provide one function which returns a StringRef.
Direct access to the underlying buffer violates the concept of
a "stream" which is intended to provide forward only access,
and makes porting to llvm::raw_ostream more difficult in the
future.

This is better for a number of reasons. Mostly style, but also:
1) Signed-unsigned comparison warnings disappear since there is
no loop index.
2) Iterating with the range-for style gives you back an entry
that has more than just a const char*, so it's more efficient
and more useful.
3) Makes code safter since the type system enforces that it's
impossible to index out of bounds.
llvm-svn: 283413
This change is very mechanical. All it does is change the
signature of `Options::GetDefinitions()` and `OptionGroup::
GetDefinitions()` to return an `ArrayRef<OptionDefinition>`
instead of a `const OptionDefinition *`. In the case of the
former, it deletes the sentinel entry from every table, and
in the case of the latter, it removes the `GetNumDefinitions()`
method from the interface. These are no longer necessary as
`ArrayRef` carries its own length.
In the former case, iteration was done by using a sentinel
entry, so there was no knowledge of length. Because of this
the individual option tables were allowed to be defined below
the corresponding class (after all, only a pointer was needed).
Now, however, the length must be known at compile time to
construct the `ArrayRef`, and as a result it is necessary to
move every option table before its corresponding class. This
results in this CL looking very big, but in terms of substance
there is not much here.

*** to conform to clang-format’s LLVM style. This kind of mass change has
*** two obvious implications:
Firstly, merging this particular commit into a downstream fork may be a huge
effort. Alternatively, it may be worth merging all changes up to this commit,
performing the same reformatting operation locally, and then discarding the
merge for this particular commit. The commands used to accomplish this
reformatting were as follows (with current working directory as the root of
the repository):
find . \( -iname "*.c" -or -iname "*.cpp" -or -iname "*.h" -or -iname "*.mm" \) -exec clang-format -i {} +
find . -iname "*.py" -exec autopep8 --in-place --aggressive --aggressive {} + ;
The version of clang-format used was 3.9.0, and autopep8 was 1.2.4.
Secondly, “blame” style tools will generally point to this commit instead of
a meaningful prior commit. There are alternatives available that will attempt
to look through this change and find the appropriate prior commit. YMMV.

easier to scan a set of options with a relatively large number of positional
arguments. This commit standardizes their formatting throughout LLDB and
applies surrounding directives to exempt them from being formatted by
clang-format.
These kinds of exemptions should be rare cases that benefit significantly
from alternative formatting. They also imply a long-term obligation to
maintain their format since the automated tools will not do so.

Options used to store a reference to the CommandInterpreter instance
in the base Options class. This made it impossible to parse options
independent of a CommandInterpreter.
This change removes the reference from the base class. Instead, it
modifies the options-parsing-related methods to take an
ExecutionContext pointer, which the options may inspect if they need
to do so.

This cleans things up such CommandAlias essentially can work as its own object; the aliases still live in a separate map, but are now just full-fledged CommandObjectSPs
This patch also cleans up help generation for aliases, allows aliases to vend their own help, and adds a tweak such that "dash-dash aliases", such as po, don't show the list of options for their underlying command, since those can't be provided anyway
I plan to fix up a few more things here, and then add a test case and proclaim victory
llvm-svn: 263499
The next step is to actually turn CommandAlias into a full-blown CommandObject citizen.
This is tricky given the current architecture of the CommandInterpreter but I think I have found a reasonable path forward.
The current plan is to make class CommandAlias : public CommandObject, and have all the several GetCommand calls not actually traverse through the alias to the underlying command object
The only times that an alias will be traversed are:
a) execution; when time comes to run an alias, I will just grab the underlying command and options, and make the interpreter execute that according to its current algorithm
b) subcommand traversal; if one has an alias to a multiword command, grabbing a subcommand will see through to the subcommand
Other operations, e.g. command listing, command names, command helps, ..., will all use the alias directly. This will, in turn, lead to the removal of the separate alias dictionary, and just mix user commands and aliases in one map
llvm-svn: 262986
- move alias help generation to CommandAlias, out of CommandInterpreter
- make alias creation use argument strings instead of OptionArgVectorSP; the former is a more reasonable currency than the latter
- remove m_is_alias from CommandObject, it wasn't actually being used

This is useful in cases such as, e.g.
(lldb) help NSString
(the user meant type lookup)
or
(lldb) help kill
(the user is looking for process kill)

Since interaction with the python interpreter is moving towards
being more isolated, we won't be able to include this header from
normal files anymore, all includes of it should be localized to
the python library which will live under source/bindings/API/Python
after a future patch.
None of the files that were including this header actually depended
on it anyway, so it was just a dead include in every single instance.

The default help display now shows the alias collection by default, and hides commands whose named begin with an underscore. Help is primarily useful to those unfamiliar with LLDB and should aim to answer typical questions while still being able to provide more esoteric answers when required. To that latter end an argument to include the hidden commands in help has been added, and instead of having a help flag to show aliases there is now one to hide them. This final change might be controversial as it repurposes the -a shorthand as the opposite of its original meaning.
The previous implementation of OutputFormattedHelpText was easily confused by embedded newlines. The new algorithm correctly breaks on the FIRST newline or LAST space/tab before the target column count rather than treating all whitespace interchangeably.
Command interpreters now have the ability to specify help prologue text and a command prefix string. Neither are used in the current LLDB sources but are required to support REPL-like extensions where LLDB commands must be prefixed and additional help text is required to explain how to access traditional debugging commands.

The purpose of the OptionValidator is to determine, based on some
arbitrary set of conditions, whether or not a command option is
valid for a given debugger state. An example of this might be
to selectively disable or enable certain command options that
don't apply to a particular platform.
This patch contains no functional change, and does not actually
make use of an OptionValidator for any purpose yet. A follow-up
patch will begin to add the logic and users of OptionValidator.

Major fixed to allow reading files that are over 4GB. The main problems were that the DataExtractor was using 32 bit offsets as a data cursor, and since we mmap all of our object files we could run into cases where if we had a very large core file that was over 4GB, we were running into the 4GB boundary.
So I defined a new "lldb::offset_t" which should be used for all file offsets.
After making this change, I enabled warnings for data loss and for enexpected implicit conversions temporarily and found a ton of things that I fixed.
Any functions that take an index internally, should use "size_t" for any indexes and also should return "size_t" for any sizes of collections.

I added the ability for a process plug-in to implement custom commands. All the lldb_private::Process plug-in has to do is override:
virtual CommandObject *
GetPluginCommandObject();
This object returned should be a multi-word command that vends LLDB commands. There is a sample implementation in ProcessGDBRemote that is hollowed out. It is intended to be used for sending a custom packet, though the body of the command execute function has yet to be implemented!

Execute which was never going to get run and another ExecuteRawCommandString. Took the knowledge of how
to prepare raw & parsed commands out of CommandInterpreter and put it in CommandObject where it belongs.
Also took all the cases where there were the subcommands of Multiword commands declared in the .h file for
the overall command and moved them into the .cpp file.
Made the CommandObject flags work for raw as well as parsed commands.
Made "expr" use the flags so that it requires you to be paused to run "expr".

This allows you to have a platform selected, then specify a triple using
"i386" and have the remaining triple items (vendor, os, and environment) set
automatically.
Many interpreter commands take the "--arch" option to specify an architecture
triple, so now the command options needed to be able to get to the current
platform, so the Options class now take a reference to the interpreter on
construction.
Modified the build LLVM building in the Xcode project to use the new
Xcode project level user definitions:
LLVM_BUILD_DIR - a path to the llvm build directory
LLVM_SOURCE_DIR - a path to the llvm sources for the llvm that will be used to build lldb
LLVM_CONFIGURATION - the configuration that lldb is built for (Release,
Release+Asserts, Debug, Debug+Asserts).
I also changed the LLVM build to not check if "lldb/llvm" is a symlink and
then assume it is a real llvm build directory versus the unzipped llvm.zip
package, so now you can actually have a "lldb/llvm" directory in your lldb
sources.

- Add logging for command resolution ('log enable lldb commands')
- Fix alias resolution to properly handle commands that take raw input (resolve the alias, but

Net result: Among other things, 'expr' command can now take strings with escaped characters and
not have the command handling & alias resolution code muck up the escaped characters. E.g.
'expr printf ("\n\n\tHello there!")' should now work properly.
Not working yet: Creating aliases with raw input for commands that take raw input. Working on that.
e.g. 'command alias print_hi expr printf ("\n\tHi!")' does not work yet.
