Watchpoints in lldb can be either 'read', 'write', or 'read/write'. This
is exposing the actual behavior of hardware watchpoints. gdb has a
different behavior: a "write" type watchpoint only stops when the
watched memory region *changes*.
A user is using a watchpoint for one of three reasons:
1. Want to find what is changing/corrupting this memory.
2. Want to find what is writing to this memory.
3. Want to find what is reading from this memory.
I believe (1) is the most common use case for watchpoints, and it
currently can't be done in lldb -- the user needs to continue every time
the same value is written to the watched-memory manually. I think gdb's
behavior is the correct one. There are some use cases where a developer
wants to find every function that writes/reads to/from a memory region,
regardless of value, I want to still allow that functionality.
This is also a bit of groundwork for my large watchpoint support
proposal
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-large-watchpoint-support-in-lldb/72116
where I will be adding support for AArch64 MASK watchpoints which watch
power-of-2 memory regions. A user might ask to watch 24 bytes, and a
MASK watchpoint stub can do this with a 32-byte MASK watchpoint if it is
properly aligned. And we need to ignore writes to the final 8 bytes of
that watched region, and not show those hits to the user.
This patch adds a new 'modify' watchpoint type and it is the default.

If we use a variable watchpoint with a condition using a scope variable,
if we go out-of-scope, the watpoint remains active which can the
expression evaluator to fail to parse the watchpoint condition (because
of the missing varible bindings).
This was discovered after `watchpoint_callback.test` started failing on
the green dragon bot.
This patch should address that issue by setting an internal breakpoint
on the return addresss of the current frame when creating a variable
watchpoint. The breakpoint has a callback that will disable the watchpoint
if the the breakpoint execution context matches the watchpoint execution
context.
This is only enabled for local variables.
This patch also re-enables the failing test following e1086384e584.

This patch should allow the user to set specific auto-completion type
for their custom commands.
To do so, we had to hoist the `CompletionType` enum so the user can
access it and add a new completion type flag to the CommandScriptAdd
Command Object.
So now, the user can specify which completion type will be used with
their custom command, when they register it.
This also makes the `crashlog` custom commands use disk-file completion
type, to browse through the user file system and load the report.

This is useful in contexts where you have multiple languages in play:
You may be stopped in a frame for language A, but want to set a watchpoint
with an expression using language B. The current way to do this is to
use the setting `target.language` while setting the watchpoint and
unset it after the watchpoint is set, but that's kind of clunky and
somewhat error-prone. This should add a better way to do this.

LLDB uses `_up`, `_sp` and `_wp` suffixes for unique, shared and weak
pointers respectively. This can become confusing in combination with
watchpoints which are commonly abbreviated to `wp`. Update
CommandObjectWatchpoint to use `watch_sp` for all `WatchpointSP`
variables.
When setting a variable watchpoint, the watchpoint stores the variable
name in the watchpoint spec. For expression variables we should store
the expression in the watchpoint spec. This patch adds that
functionality.

lldb was originally designed to get the watchpoint exception behavior
from the gdb remote serial protocol stub -- exceptions are either
received before the instruction executes, or after the instruction
has executed. This behavior was reported via two lldb extensions
to gdb RSP, so generic remote stubs like gdbserver or a JTAG stub,
would not tell lldb which behavior was correct, and it would default
to "exceptions are received after the instruction has executed".
Two architectures hard coded their correct "exceptions before
instruction" behavior, to work around this issue.
Most architectures have a fixed behavior of watchpoint exceptions,
and we can center that information in lldb. We can allow a remote
stub to override the default behavior via our packet extensions
if it's needed on a specific target.
This patch also separates the fetching of the number of watchpoints
from whether exceptions are before/after the insn. Currently if
lldb couldn't fetch the number of watchpoints (not really needed), it
also wouldn't get when exceptions are received, and watchpoint
handling would fail. lldb doesn't actually use the number of
watchpoints for anything beyond printing it to the user.

Currently we only show the user that the expression failed but not
what is actually wrong with it. This just dumps the error we get
back alongside the other output to the error stream.
This should also help with finding out with why sometimees the
TestWatchLocationWithWatchSet.py test fails here on the LLDB
incremental bot on Green Dragon.
This is how it should've been and brings it more in line with
std::string_view. There should be no functional change here.
This is mostly mechanical from a custom clang-tidy check, with a lot of
manual fixups. It uncovers a lot of minor inefficiencies.
This doesn't actually modify StringRef yet, I'll do that in a follow-up.
Summary:
A *.cpp file header in LLDB (and in LLDB) should like this:
```
//===-- TestUtilities.cpp -------------------------------------------------===//
```
However in LLDB most of our source files have arbitrary changes to this format and
these changes are spreading through LLDB as folks usually just use the existing
source files as templates for their new files (most notably the unnecessary
editor language indicator `-*- C++ -*-` is spreading and in every review
someone is pointing out that this is wrong, resulting in people pointing out that this
is done in the same way in other files).
This patch removes most of these inconsistencies including the editor language indicators,
all the different missing/additional '-' characters, files that center the file name, missing
trailing `===//` (mostly caused by clang-format breaking the line).

have to do the additional strlen on the C string to construct the

Summary:
We currently have several CommandObjects that manually reimplement the checking for a selected target
or a target in the execution context (which is the selected target when they are invoked). This patch removes
all these checks and replaces them by setting the eCommandRequiresTarget flag that Pavel suggested. With
this flag we are doing the same check but without having to duplicate this code in all these CommandObjects.
I also added a `GetSelectedTarget()` variant of the `GetSelectedOrDummyTarget()` function to the
CommandObject that checks that the flag is set and then returns a reference to the target. I didn't rewrite
all the `target` variables from `Target *` to `Target &` in this patch as last time this change caused a lot of merge
conflicts in Swift and I would prefer having that in a separate NFC commit.

A lot of comments in LLDB are surrounded by an ASCII line to delimit the
begging and end of the comment.
Its use is not really consistent across the code base, sometimes the
lines are longer, sometimes they are shorter and sometimes they are
omitted. Furthermore, it looks kind of weird with the 80 column limit,
where the comment actually extends past the line, but not by much.
Furthermore, when /// is used for Doxygen comments, it looks
particularly odd. And when // is used, it incorrectly gives the
impression that it's actually a Doxygen comment.
I assume these lines were added to improve distinguishing between
comments and code. However, given that todays editors and IDEs do a
great job at highlighting comments, I think it's worth to drop this for
the sake of consistency. The alternative is fixing all the
inconsistencies, which would create a lot more churn.

Especially CommandObjectRegexCommand has error handling code for a nullptr that is now gone.

This patches improves the situation by adding a OptionsWithRaw class that centralizes

extract the arguments and the raw suffix from the provided user input.
