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.

Summary:
The Args class is used in plenty of places besides the command
interpreter (e.g., anything requiring an argc+argv combo, such as when
launching a process), so it needs to be in a lower layer. Now that the
class has no external dependencies, it can be moved down to the Utility
module.
This removes the last (direct) dependency from the Host module to
Interpreter, so I remove the Interpreter module from Host's dependency
list.

Summary:
The idea behind this is to move the functionality which depend on other lldb
classes into a separate class. This way, the Args class can be turned
into a lightweight arc+argv wrapper and moved into the lower lldb
layers.

This renames the LLDB error class to Status, as discussed
on the lldb-dev mailing list.
A change of this magnitude cannot easily be done without
find and replace, but that has potential to catch unwanted
occurrences of common strings such as "Error". Every effort
was made to find all the obvious things such as the word "Error"
appearing in a string, etc, but it's possible there are still
some lingering occurences left around. Hopefully nothing too
serious.

The long-term goal here is to get rid of the functions
GetArgumentAtIndex() and GetQuoteCharAtIndex(), instead
replacing them with operator based access and range-based for
enumeration. There are a lot of callsites, though, so the
changes will be done incrementally, starting with this one.

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.

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.

- 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
llvm-svn: 262912
Right now, obviously, this is just the pair of (CommandObjectSP,OptionArgVectorSP), so NFC
This is step one of a larger - and tricky - refactoring which will turn command aliases into interesting objects instead of passive storage that the command interpreter does smart things to
This refactoring, in turn, will allow us to do interesting things with aliases, such as intelligent and customizable help
llvm-svn: 262900
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.

This works for Python commands defined via a class (implement get_flags on your class) and C++ plugin commands (which can call SBCommand::GetFlags()/SetFlags())
Flags allow features such as not letting the command run if there's no target, or if the process is not stopped, ...
Commands could always check for these things themselves, but having these accessible via flags makes custom commands more consistent with built-in ones

This removes ScriptInterpreterObject from the codebase completely.
Places that used to rely on ScriptInterpreterObject now use
StructuredData::Object and its derived classes. To support this,
a new type of StructuredData object is introduced, called
StructuredData::Generic, which stores a void*. Internally within
the python library, StructuredPythonObject subclasses this
StructuredData::Generic class so that it can addref and decref
the python object on construction and destruction.
Additionally, all of the classes in PythonDataObjects.h such
as PythonList, PythonDictionary, etc now provide a method to
create an instance of the corresponding StructuredData type. For
example, there is PythonDictionary::CreateStructuredDictionary.
To eliminate dependencies on PythonDataObjects for external
callers, all ScriptInterpreter methods now return only
StructuredData classes
The rest of the changes in this CL are focused on fixing up
users of PythonDataObjects classes to use the new StructuredData
classes.

This works by creating a command backed by a class whose interface should - at least - include
def __init__(self, debugger, session_dict)
def __call__(self, args, return_obj, exe_ctx)
What works:
- adding a command via command script add --class
- calling a thusly created command
What is missing:
- support for custom help
- test cases
The missing parts will follow over the next couple of days
This is an improvement over the existing system as:
a) it provides an obvious location for commands to provide help strings (i.e. methods)
b) it allows commands to store state in an obvious fashion
c) it allows us to easily add features to script commands over time (option parsing and subcommands registration, I am looking at you :-)
