This command had nearly identical code for the "then" and "else"
branches of the "if (m_options.num_instructions != 0)" condition.
This patch factors out the common parts of the two blocks to reduce
duplication.
While we have some tests for this command already, they are very vague.
This is not surprising -- it's hard to make strict assertions about the
assembly if your input is a c++ source file. This means that the tests
can more-or-less only detect when the command breaks completely, and not
when there is a subtle change in meaning due to e.g. a code refactor --
which is something that I am getting ready to do.
This tests in this patch create binaries with well known data (via assembler
and yaml2obj). This means that we are able to make precise assertions
about the text that lldb is supposed to print. As some of the features
of this command are only available with a real process, I use a minidump
core file to create a sufficiently realistic process object.
LLDB has three major testing strategies: unit tests, tests that exercise
the SB API though dotest.py and what we currently call lit tests. The
later is rather confusing as we're now using lit as the driver for all
three types of tests. As most of this grew organically, the directory
structure in the LLDB repository doesn't really make this clear.
The 'lit' tests are part of the root and among these tests there's a
Unit and Suite folder for the unit and dotest-tests. This layout makes
it impossible to run just the lit tests.
This patch changes the directory layout to match the 3 testing
strategies, each with their own directory and their own configuration
file. This means there are now 3 directories under lit with 3
corresponding targets:
- API (check-lldb-api): Test exercising the SB API.
- Shell (check-lldb-shell): Test exercising command line utilities.
- Unit (check-lldb-unit): Unit tests.
Finally, there's still the `check-lldb` target that runs all three test
suites.
Finally, this also renames the lit folder to `test` to match the LLVM
repository layout.
