This reverts commit f775fe5964.
I fixed a return type error in the original patch that was causing a test failure.
Also added a REQUIRES: python to the shell test so we'll skip this for
people who build lldb w/o Python.
Also added another test for the error printing.
This recommits f665e80c02 which was reverted in 1cbd1b8f69 for breaking
TestFoundationDisassembly.py. The fix is to use --force in the test to avoid
bailing out on large functions.
I have also doubled the large function limit to 8000 bytes (~~ 2000 insns), as
the foundation library contains a lot of large-ish functions. The intent of this
feature is to prevent accidental disassembling of enormous (multi-megabyte)
"functions", not to get in people's way.
The original commit message follows:
If we have a binary without symbol information (and without
LC_FUNCTION_STARTS, if on a mac), then we have to resort to using
heuristics to determine the function boundaries. However, these don't
always work, and so we can easily end up thinking we have functions
which are several megabytes in size. Attempting to (accidentally)
disassemble these can take a very long time spam the terminal with
thousands of lines of disassembly.
This patch works around that problem by adding a sanity check to the
disassemble command. If we are about to disassemble a function which is
larger than a certain threshold, we will refuse to disassemble such a
function unless the user explicitly specifies the number of instructions
to disassemble, uses start/stop addresses for disassembly, or passes the
(new) --force argument.
The threshold is currently fairly aggressive (4000 bytes ~~ 1000
instructions). If needed, we can increase it, or even make it
configurable.

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.
