52f792329be5db8e38961350589e97e8f2823acd 12-Jul-2013 Greg Clayton <gclayton@apple.com> Huge change to clean up types.

A long time ago we start with clang types that were created by the symbol files and there were many functions in lldb_private::ClangASTContext that helped. Later we create ClangASTType which contains a clang::ASTContext and an opauque QualType, but we didn't switch over to fully using it. There were a lot of places where we would pass around a raw clang_type_t and also pass along a clang::ASTContext separately. This left room for error.

This checkin change all type code over to use ClangASTType everywhere and I cleaned up the interfaces quite a bit. Any code that was in ClangASTContext that was type related, was moved over into ClangASTType. All code that used these types was switched over to use all of the new goodness.

Enabling LLDB to write to variables that are stored in registers
Previously, this would not work since the Value's Context loses the notion of the data being in a register
We now store an "original" context that comes out of DWARF parsing, and use that context's data when attempting a write

Many "byte size" members and variables were using a mixture of uint32_t and size_t. Switching over to using uint64_t everywhere.

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.

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.

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.

931acecd4e3af534028936431dc0f75a9fd6eb02 23-Feb-2012 Sean Callanan <scallanan@apple.com> Added support for looking up the complete type for
Objective-C classes. This allows LLDB to find
ivars declared in class extensions in modules other
than where the debugger is currently stopped (we
already supported this when the debugger was
stopped in the same module as the definition).

This involved the following main changes:

- The ObjCLanguageRuntime now knows how to hunt
for the authoritative version of an Objective-C
type. It looks for the symbol indicating a
definition, and then gets the type from the
module containing that symbol.

- ValueObjects now report their type with a
potential override, and the override is set if
the type of the ValueObject is an Objective-C
class or pointer type that is defined somewhere
other than the original reported type. This
means that "frame variable" will always use the
complete type if one is available.

- The ClangASTSource now looks for the complete
type when looking for ivars. This means that
"expr" will always use the complete type if one
is available.

- I added a testcase that verifies that both
"frame variable" and "expr" work.

0a19a1b9c25117854f226256805239d95153ed2d 04-Feb-2012 Greg Clayton <gclayton@apple.com> Convert all python objects in our API to use overload the __str__ method
instead of the __repr__. __repr__ is a function that should return an
expression that can be used to recreate an python object and we were using
it to just return a human readable string.

Fixed a crasher when using the new implementation of SBValue::Cast(SBType).

Thread hardened lldb::SBValue and lldb::SBWatchpoint and did other general
improvements to the API.

Fixed a crasher in lldb::SBValue::GetChildMemberWithName() where we didn't
correctly handle not having a target.

915448044bac6fdac22a33cc46697dcb771a8df2 06-Sep-2011 Enrico Granata <granata.enrico@gmail.com> Redesign of the interaction between Python and frozen objects:
- introduced two new classes ValueObjectConstResultChild and ValueObjectConstResultImpl: the first one is a ValueObjectChild obtained from
a ValueObjectConstResult, the second is a common implementation backend for VOCR and VOCRCh of method calls meant to read through pointers stored
in frozen objects ; now such reads transparently move from host to target as required
- as a consequence of the above, removed code that made target-memory copies of expression results in several places throughout LLDB, and also
removed code that enabled to recognize an expression result VO as such
- introduced a new GetPointeeData() method in ValueObject that lets you read a given amount of objects of type T from a VO
representing a T* or T[], and doing dereferences transparently
in private layer it returns a DataExtractor ; in public layer it returns an instance of a newly created lldb::SBData
- as GetPointeeData() does the right thing for both frozen and non-frozen ValueObject's, reimplemented ReadPointedString() to use it
en lieu of doing the raw read itself
- introduced a new GetData() method in ValueObject that lets you get a copy of the data that backs the ValueObject (for pointers,
this returns the address without any previous dereferencing steps ; for arrays it actually reads the whole chunk of memory)
in public layer this returns an SBData, just like GetPointeeData()
- introduced a new CreateValueFromData() method in SBValue that lets you create a new SBValue from a chunk of data wrapped in an SBData
the limitation to remember for this kind of SBValue is that they have no address: extracting the address-of for these objects (with any
of GetAddress(), GetLoadAddress() and AddressOf()) will return invalid values
- added several tests to check that "p"-ing objects (STL classes, char* and char[]) will do the right thing
Solved a bug where global pointers to global variables were not dereferenced correctly for display
New target setting "max-string-summary-length" gives the maximum number of characters to show in a string when summarizing it, instead of the hardcoded 128
Solved a bug where the summary for char[] and char* would not be shown if the ValueObject's were dumped via the "p" command
Removed m_pointers_point_to_load_addrs from ValueObject. Introduced a new m_address_type_of_children, which each ValueObject can set to tell the address type
of any pointers and/or references it creates. In the current codebase, this is load address most of the time (the only notable exception being file
addresses that generate file address children UNLESS we have a live process)
Updated help text for summary-string
Fixed an issue in STL formatters where std::stlcontainer::iterator would match the container's synthetic children providers
Edited the syntax and help for some commands to have proper argument types

801417e453f8531ac176cd952200587bf15d9ccf 07-Jul-2011 Greg Clayton <gclayton@apple.com> Added "target variable" command that allows introspection of global
variables prior to running your binary. Zero filled sections now get
section data correctly filled with zeroes when Target::ReadMemory
reads from the object file section data.

Added new option groups and option values for file lists. I still need
to hook up all of the options to "target variable" to allow more complete
introspection by file and shlib.

Added the ability for ValueObjectVariable objects to be created with
only the target as the execution context. This allows them to be read
from the object files through Target::ReadMemory(...).

Added a "virtual Module * GetModule()" function to the ValueObject
class. By default it will look to the parent variable object and
return its module. The module is needed when we have global variables
that have file addresses (virtual addresses that are specific to
module object files) and in turn allows global variables to be displayed
prior to running.

Removed all of the unused proxy object support that bit rotted in
lldb_private::Value.

Replaced a lot of places that used "FileSpec::Compare (lhs, rhs) == 0" code
with the more efficient "FileSpec::Equal (lhs, rhs)".

Improved logging in GDB remote plug-in.

pointer to a ValueObject or any of its dependent ValueObjects, and the whole cluster will
stay around as long as that shared pointer stays around.

fa3a16a2ea380ef38388ebe323817bd1b32c20cd 31-Mar-2011 Jim Ingham <jingham@apple.com> Convert ValueObject to explicitly maintain the Execution Context in which they were created, and then use that when they update themselves. That means all the ValueObject evaluate me type functions that used to require a Frame object now do not. I didn't remove the SBValue API's that take this now useless frame, but I added ones that don't require the frame, and marked the SBFrame taking ones as deprecated.

b01000fd063629facd45044f137446fb748ee179 17-Jan-2011 Greg Clayton <gclayton@apple.com> A few of the issue I have been trying to track down and fix have been due to
the way LLDB lazily gets complete definitions for types within the debug info.
When we run across a class/struct/union definition in the DWARF, we will only
parse the full definition if we need to. This works fine for top level types
that are assigned directly to variables and arguments, but when we have a
variable with a class, lets say "A" for this example, that has a member:
"B *m_b". Initially we don't need to hunt down a definition for this class
unless we are ever asked to do something with it ("expr m_b->getDecl()" for
example). With my previous approach to lazy type completion, we would be able
to take a "A *a" and get a complete type for it, but we wouldn't be able to
then do an "a->m_b->getDecl()" unless we always expanded all types within a
class prior to handing out the type. Expanding everything is very costly and
it would be great if there were a better way.

A few months ago I worked with the llvm/clang folks to have the
ExternalASTSource class be able to complete classes if there weren't completed
yet:

class ExternalASTSource {
....

virtual void
CompleteType (clang::TagDecl *Tag);

virtual void
CompleteType (clang::ObjCInterfaceDecl *Class);
};

This was great, because we can now have the class that is producing the AST
(SymbolFileDWARF and SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap) sign up as external AST sources
and the object that creates the forward declaration types can now also
complete them anywhere within the clang type system.

This patch makes a few major changes:
- lldb_private::Module classes now own the AST context. Previously the TypeList
objects did.
- The DWARF parsers now sign up as an external AST sources so they can complete
types.
- All of the pure clang type system wrapper code we have in LLDB (ClangASTContext,
ClangASTType, and more) can now be iterating through children of any type,
and if a class/union/struct type (clang::RecordType or ObjC interface)
is found that is incomplete, we can ask the AST to get the definition.
- The SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap class now will create and use a single AST that
all child SymbolFileDWARF classes will share (much like what happens when
we have a complete linked DWARF for an executable).

We will need to modify some of the ClangUserExpression code to take more
advantage of this completion ability in the near future. Meanwhile we should
be better off now that we can be accessing any children of variables through
pointers and always be able to resolve the clang type if needed.

462d4147f3bb9141bf62d904f58a623db00669df 29-Sep-2010 Greg Clayton <gclayton@apple.com> Fixed the forward declaration issue that was present in the DWARF parser after
adding methods to C++ and objective C classes. In order to make methods, we
need the function prototype which means we need the arguments. Parsing these
could cause a circular reference that caused an assertion.

Added a new typedef for the clang opaque types which are just void pointers:
lldb::clang_type_t. This appears in lldb-types.h.

This was fixed by enabling struct, union, class, and enum types to only get
a forward declaration when we make the clang opaque qual type for these
types. When they need to actually be resolved, lldb_private::Type will call
a new function in the SymbolFile protocol to resolve a clang type when it is
not fully defined (clang::TagDecl::getDefinition() returns NULL). This allows
us to be a lot more lazy when parsing clang types and keeps down the amount
of data that gets parsed into the ASTContext for each module.

Getting the clang type from a "lldb_private::Type" object now takes a boolean
that indicates if a forward declaration is ok:

clang_type_t lldb_private::Type::GetClangType (bool forward_decl_is_ok);

So function prototypes that define parameters that are "const T&" can now just
parse the forward declaration for type 'T' and we avoid circular references in
the type system.

17dae081d7b88d24a7af6b07c10fc5981f81e2a9 02-Sep-2010 Greg Clayton <gclayton@apple.com> StackFrame objects now own ValueObjects for any frame variables (locals, args,
function statics, file globals and static variables) that a frame contains.
The StackFrame objects can give out ValueObjects instances for
each variable which allows us to track when a variable changes and doesn't
depend on variable names when getting value objects.

StackFrame::GetVariableList now takes a boolean to indicate if we want to
get the frame compile unit globals and static variables.

The value objects in the stack frames can now correctly track when they have
been modified. There are a few more tweaks needed to complete this work. The
biggest issue is when stepping creates partial stacks (just frame zero usually)
and causes previous stack frames not to match up with the current stack frames
because the previous frames only has frame zero. We don't really want to
require that all previous frames be complete since stepping often must check
stack frames to complete their jobs. I will fix this issue tomorrow.
