30//  ThreadPlan:
31//  This is the pure virtual base class for thread plans.
32//
33//  The thread plans provide the "atoms" of behavior that
34//  all the logical process control, either directly from commands or through
35//  more complex composite plans will rely on.
36//
37//  Plan Stack:
38//
39//  The thread maintaining a thread plan stack, and you program the actions of a particular thread
40//  by pushing plans onto the plan stack.
41//  There is always a "Current" plan, which is the head of the plan stack, though in some cases
42//  a plan may defer to plans higher in the stack for some piece of information.
43//
44//  The plan stack is never empty, there is always a Base Plan which persists through the life
45//  of the running process.
46//
47//
48//  Creating Plans:
49//
50//  The thread plan is generally created and added to the plan stack through the QueueThreadPlanFor... API
51//  in lldb::Thread.  Those API's will return the plan that performs the named operation in a manner
52//  appropriate for the current process.  The plans in lldb/source/Target are generic
53//  implementations, but a Process plugin can override them.
54//
55//  ValidatePlan is then called.  If it returns false, the plan is unshipped.  This is a little
56//  convenience which keeps us from having to error out of the constructor.
57//
58//  Then the plan is added to the plan stack.  When the plan is added to the plan stack its DidPush
59//  will get called.  This is useful if a plan wants to push any additional plans as it is constructed,
60//  since you need to make sure you're already on the stack before you push additional plans.
61//
62//  Completed Plans:
63//
64//  When the target process stops the plans are queried, among other things, for whether their job is done.
65//  If it is they are moved from the plan stack to the Completed Plan stack in reverse order from their position
66//  on the plan stack (since multiple plans may be done at a given stop.)  This is used primarily so that
67//  the lldb::Thread::StopInfo for the thread can be set properly.  If one plan pushes another to achieve part of
68//  its job, but it doesn't want that sub-plan to be the one that sets the StopInfo, then call SetPrivate on the
69//  sub-plan when you create it, and the Thread will pass over that plan in reporting the reason for the stop.
70//
71//  Discarded plans:
72//
73//  Your plan may also get discarded, i.e. moved from the plan stack to the "discarded plan stack".  This can
74//  happen, for instance, if the plan is calling a function and the function call crashes and you want
75//  to unwind the attempt to call.  So don't assume that your plan will always successfully stop.  Which leads to:
76//
77//  Cleaning up after your plans:
78//
79//  When the plan is moved from the plan stack its WillPop method is always called, no matter why.  Once it is
80//  moved off the plan stack it is done, and won't get a chance to run again.  So you should
81//  undo anything that affects target state in this method.  But be sure to leave the plan able to correctly
82//  fill the StopInfo, however.
83//  N.B. Don't wait to do clean up target state till the destructor, since that will usually get called when
84//  the target resumes, and you want to leave the target state correct for new plans in the time between when
85//  your plan gets unshipped and the next resume.
86//
87//  Over the lifetime of the plan, various methods of the ThreadPlan are then called in response to changes of state in
88//  the process we are debugging as follows:
89//
90//  Resuming:
91//
92//  When the target process is about to be restarted, the plan's WillResume method is called,
93//  giving the plan a chance to prepare for the run.  If WillResume returns false, then the
94//  process is not restarted.  Be sure to set an appropriate error value in the Process if
95//  you have to do this.
96//  Next the "StopOthers" method of all the threads are polled, and if one thread's Current plan
97//  returns "true" then only that thread gets to run.  If more than one returns "true" the threads that want to run solo
98//  get run one by one round robin fashion.  Otherwise all are let to run.
99//
100//  Note, the way StopOthers is implemented, the base class implementation just asks the previous plan.  So if your plan
101//  has no opinion about whether it should run stopping others or not, just don't implement StopOthers, and the parent
102//  will be asked.
103//
104//  Finally, for each thread that is running, it run state is set to the return of RunState from the
105//  thread's Current plan.
106//
107//  Responding to a stop:
108//
109//  When the target process stops, the plan is called in the following stages:
110//
111//  First the thread asks the Current Plan if it can handle this stop by calling PlanExplainsStop.
112//  If the Current plan answers "true" then it is asked if the stop should percolate all the way to the
113//  user by calling the ShouldStop method.  If the current plan doesn't explain the stop, then we query down
114//  the plan stack for a plan that does explain the stop.  The plan that does explain the stop then needs to
115//  figure out what to do about the plans below it in the stack.  If the stop is recoverable, then the plan that
116//  understands it can just do what it needs to set up to restart, and then continue.
117//  Otherwise, the plan that understood the stop should call DiscardPlanStack to clean up the stack below it.
118//  In the normal case, this will just collapse the plan stack up to the point of the plan that understood
119//  the stop reason.  However, if a plan wishes to stay on the stack after an event it didn't directly handle
120//  it can designate itself a "Master" plan by responding true to IsMasterPlan, and then if it wants not to be
121//  discarded, it can return true to OkayToDiscard, and it and all its dependent plans will be preserved when
122//  we resume execution.
123//
124//  Actually Stopping:
125//
126//  If a plan says responds "true" to ShouldStop, then it is asked if it's job is complete by calling
127//  MischiefManaged.  If that returns true, the thread is popped from the plan stack and added to the
128//  Completed Plan Stack.  Then the next plan in the stack is asked if it ShouldStop, and  it returns "true",
129//  it is asked if it is done, and if yes popped, and so on till we reach a plan that is not done.
130//
131//  Since you often know in the ShouldStop method whether your plan is complete, as a convenience you can call
132//  SetPlanComplete and the ThreadPlan implementation of MischiefManaged will return "true", without your having
133//  to redo the calculation when your sub-classes MischiefManaged is called.  If you call SetPlanComplete, you can
134//  later use IsPlanComplete to determine whether the plan is complete.  This is only a convenience for sub-classes,
135//  the logic in lldb::Thread will only call MischiefManaged.
136//
137//  One slightly tricky point is you have to be careful using SetPlanComplete in PlanExplainsStop because you
138//  are not guaranteed that PlanExplainsStop for a plan will get called before ShouldStop gets called.  If your sub-plan
139//  explained the stop and then popped itself, only your ShouldStop will get called.
140//
141//  If ShouldStop for any thread returns "true", then the WillStop method of the Current plan of
142//  all threads will be called, the stop event is placed on the Process's public broadcaster, and
143//  control returns to the upper layers of the debugger.
144//
145//  Reporting the stop:
146//
147//  When the process stops, the thread is given a StopReason, in the form of a StopInfo object.  If there is a completed
148//  plan corresponding to the stop, then the "actual" stop reason will be suppressed, and instead a StopInfoThreadPlan
149//  object will be cons'ed up from the highest completed plan in the stack.  However, if the plan doesn't want to be
150//  the stop reason, then it can call SetPlanComplete and pass in "false" for the "success" parameter.  In that case,
151//  the real stop reason will be used instead.  One exapmle of this is the "StepRangeStepIn" thread plan.  If it stops
152//  because of a crash or breakpoint hit, it wants to unship itself, because it isn't so useful to have step in keep going
153//  after a breakpoint hit.  But it can't be the reason for the stop or no-one would see that they had hit a breakpoint.
154//
155//  Automatically Resuming:
156//
157//  If ShouldStop for all threads returns "false", then the target process will resume.  This then cycles back to
158//  Resuming above.
159//
160//  Reporting eStateStopped events when the target is restarted:
161//
162//  If a plan decides to auto-continue the target by returning "false" from ShouldStop, then it will be asked
163//  whether the Stopped event should still be reported.  For instance, if you hit a breakpoint that is a User set
164//  breakpoint, but the breakpoint callback said to continue the target process, you might still want to inform
165//  the upper layers of lldb that the stop had happened.
166//  The way this works is every thread gets to vote on whether to report the stop.  If all votes are eVoteNoOpinion,
167//  then the thread list will decide what to do (at present it will pretty much always suppress these stopped events.)
168//  If there is an eVoteYes, then the event will be reported regardless of the other votes.  If there is an eVoteNo
169//  and no eVoteYes's, then the event won't be reported.
170//
171//  One other little detail here, sometimes a plan will push another plan onto the plan stack to do some part of
172//  the first plan's job, and it would be convenient to tell that plan how it should respond to ShouldReportStop.
173//  You can do that by setting the stop_vote in the child plan when you create it.
174//
175//  Suppressing the initial eStateRunning event:
176//
177//  The private process running thread will take care of ensuring that only one "eStateRunning" event will be
178//  delivered to the public Process broadcaster per public eStateStopped event.  However there are some cases
179//  where the public state of this process is eStateStopped, but a thread plan needs to restart the target, but
180//  doesn't want the running event to be publically broadcast.  The obvious example of this is running functions
181//  by hand as part of expression evaluation.  To suppress the running event return eVoteNo from ShouldReportStop,
182//  to force a running event to be reported return eVoteYes, in general though you should return eVoteNoOpinion
183//  which will allow the ThreadList to figure out the right thing to do.
184//  The run_vote argument to the constructor works like stop_vote, and is a way for a plan to instruct a sub-plan
185//  on how to respond to ShouldReportStop.
