The many many benefits include:
1 - Input/Output/Error streams are now handled as real streams not a push style input
2 - auto completion in python embedded interpreter
3 - multi-line input for "script" and "expression" commands now allow you to edit previous/next lines using up and down arrow keys and this makes multi-line input actually a viable thing to use
4 - it is now possible to use curses to drive LLDB (please try the "gui" command)
We will need to deal with and fix any buildbot failures and tests and arise now that input/output and error are correctly hooked up in all cases.

Added two new GDB server packets to debugserver: "QSaveRegisterState" and "QRestoreRegiterState".
"QSaveRegisterState" makes the remote GDB server save all register values and it returns a save identifier as an unsigned integer. This packet can be used prior to running expressions to save all registers.
All registers can them we later restored with "QRestoreRegiterState:SAVEID" what SAVEID is the integer identifier that was returned from the call to QSaveRegisterState.
Cleaned up redundant code in lldb_private::Thread, lldb_private::ThreadPlanCallFunction.
Moved the lldb_private::Thread::RegisterCheckpoint into its own header file and it is now in the lldb_private namespace. Trimmed down the RegisterCheckpoint class to omit stuff that wasn't used (the stack ID).
Added a few new virtual methods to lldb_private::RegisterContext that allow subclasses to efficiently save/restore register states and changed the RegisterContextGDBRemote to take advantage of these new calls.

It completes the job of using EvaluateExpressionOptions consistently throughout
the inferior function calling mechanism in lldb begun in Greg's patch r194009.
It removes a handful of alternate calls into the ClangUserExpression/ClangFunction/ThreadPlanCallFunction which
were there for convenience. Using the EvaluateExpressionOptions removes the need for them.
Using that it gets the --debug option from Greg's patch to work cleanly.
It also adds another EvaluateExpressionOption to not trap exceptions when running expressions. You shouldn't
use this option unless you KNOW your expression can't throw beyond itself. This is:
<rdar://problem/15374885>
At present this is only available through the SB API's or python.
It fixes a bug where function calls would unset the ObjC & C++ exception breakpoints without checking whether
they were set by somebody else already.

pure virtual base class and made StackFrame a subclass of that. As
I started to build on top of that arrangement today, I found that it
wasn't working out like I intended. Instead I'll try sticking with
the single StackFrame class -- there's too much code duplication to
make a more complicated class hierarchy sensible I think.
llvm-svn: 193983
defines a protocol that all subclasses will implement. StackFrame
is currently the only subclass and the methods that Frame vends are
nearly identical to StackFrame's old methods.
Update all callers to use Frame*/Frame& instead of pointers to
StackFrames.
This is almost entirely a mechanical change that touches a lot of
the code base so I'm committing it alone. No new functionality is
added with this patch, no new subclasses of Frame exist yet.
I'll probably need to tweak some of the separation, possibly moving
some of StackFrame's methods up in to Frame, but this is a good
starting point.

To make this work this patch extends LLDB to:
- Explicitly track the link_map address for each module. This is effectively the module handle, not sure why it wasn't already being stored off anywhere. As an extension later, it would be nice if someone were to add support for printing this as part of the modules list.
- Allow reading the per-thread data pointer via ptrace. I have added support for Linux here. I'll be happy to add support for FreeBSD once this is reviewed. OS X does not appear to have __thread variables, so maybe we don't need it there. Windows support should eventually be workable along the same lines.
- Make DWARF expressions track which module they originated from.
- Add support for the DW_OP_GNU_push_tls_address DWARF opcode, as generated by gcc and recent versions of clang. Earlier versions of clang (such as 3.2, which is default on Ubuntu right now) do not generate TLS debug info correctly so can not be supported here.
- Understand the format of the pthread DTV block. This is where it gets tricky. We have three basic options here:
1) Call "dlinfo" or "__tls_get_addr" on the inferior and ask it directly. However this won't work on core dumps, and generally speaking it's not a good idea for the debugger to call functions itself, as it has the potential to not work depending on the state of the target.
2) Use libthread_db. This is what GDB does. However this option requires having a version of libthread_db on the host cross-compiled for each potential target. This places a large burden on the user, and would make it very hard to cross-debug from Windows to Linux, for example. Trying to build a library intended exclusively for one OS on a different one is not pleasant. GDB sidesteps the problem and asks the user to figure it out.
3) Parse the DTV structure ourselves. On initial inspection this seems to be a bad option, as the DTV structure (the format used by the runtime to manage TLS data) is not in fact a kernel data structure, it is implemented entirely in useerland in libc. Therefore the layout of it's fields are version and OS dependent, and are not standardized.
However, it turns out not to be such a problem. All OSes use basically the same algorithm (a per-module lookup table) as detailed in Ulrich Drepper's TLS ELF ABI document, so we can easily write code to decode it ourselves. The only question therefore is the exact field layouts required. Happily, the implementors of libpthread expose the structure of the DTV via metadata exported as symbols from the .so itself, designed exactly for this kind of thing. So this patch simply reads that metadata in, and re-implements libthread_db's algorithm itself. We thereby get cross-platform TLS lookup without either requiring third-party libraries, while still being independent of the version of libpthread being used.
Test case included.

This allows the PC to be directly changed to a different line.
It's similar to the example python script in examples/python/jump.py, except implemented as a builtin.
Also this version will track the current function correctly even if the target line resolves to multiple addresses. (e.g. debugging a templated function)

a bug where the ThreadPlanStepInRange wasn't checking with its sub-plans to make sure they

any progress, you could end up retrying the same failing algorithm in an infinite loop.

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.

This re-submission of this patch fixes a problem where the code sometimes caused a deadlock. The Process::SetPrivateState method was locking the Process::m_private_state variable and then later calling ThreadList::DidStop, which locks the ThreadList mutex. Other methods in ThreadList which were being called from other threads lock the ThreadList mutex and then call Process::GetPrivateState which locks the Process::m_private_state mutex. To avoid deadlocks, Process::SetPrivateState now locks the ThreadList mutex before locking the Process::m_private_state mutex.

GetPrivateStopReason() = 0;

To not be virtual. The lldb_private::Thread now handles the correct caching and will call a new pure virtual function:
namespace lldb_private {
class Thread
{
virtual bool
CalculateStopInfo() = 0;
}
}
This function must be overridden by thead lldb_private::Thread subclass and the only thing it needs to do is to set the Thread::StopInfo() with the current stop reason and return true, or return false if there is no stop reason. The lldb_private::Thread class will take care of calling this function only when it is required. This allows lldb_private::Thread subclasses to be a bit simpler and not all need to duplicate the cache and invalidation settings.
Also renamed:
lldb::StopInfoSP
lldb_private::Thread::GetPrivateStopReason();
To:
lldb::StopInfoSP
lldb_private::Thread::GetPrivateStopInfo();
Also cleaned up a case where the ThreadPlanStepOverBreakpoint might not re-set its breakpoint if the thread disappears (which was happening due to a bug when using the OperatingSystem plug-ins with memory threads and real threads).

value. This fixes problems, for instance, with the StepRange plans, where they know that
they explained the stop because they were at their "run to here" breakpoint, then deleted
that breakpoint, so when they got asked again, doh! I had done this for a couple of plans
in an ad hoc fashion, this just formalizes it.
Also add a "ResumeRequested" in Process so that the code in the completion handlers can
tell the ShouldStop logic they want to resume rather than just directly resuming. That allows
us to handle resuming in a more controlled fashion.
Also, SetPublicState can take a "restarted" flag, so that it doesn't drop the run lock when
the target was immediately restarted.

while we develop a better understanding of how to manage the thread lists in a platform-independant fashion.
Reviewed by: Daniel Malea
llvm-svn: 181323
This checkin aims to fix this. The process now has two thread lists: a real thread list for threads that are created by the lldb_private::Process subclass, and the user visible threads. The user visible threads are the same as the real threas when no OS plug-in in used. But when an OS plug-in is used, the user thread can be a combination of real and "memory" threads. Real threads can be placed inside of memory threads so that a thread appears to be different, but is still controlled by the actual real thread. When the thread list needs updating, the lldb_private::Process class will call the: lldb_private::Process::UpdateThreadList() function with the old real thread list, and the function is expected to fill in the new real thread list with the current state of the process. After this function, the process will check if there is an OS plug-in being used, and if so, it will give the old user thread list, the new real thread list and the OS plug-in will create the new user thread list from both of these lists. If there is no OS plug-in, the real thread list is the user thread list.
These changes keep the lldb_private::Process subclasses clean and no changes are required.

Modified the lldb_private::Thread to work much better with the OperatingSystem plug-ins. Operating system plug-ins can now return have a "core" key/value pair in each thread dictionary for the OperatingSystemPython plug-ins which allows the core threads to be contained with memory threads. It also allows these memory threads to be stepped, resumed, and controlled just as if they were the actual backing threads themselves.
A few things are introduced:
- lldb_private::Thread now has a GetProtocolID() method which returns the thread protocol ID for a given thread. The protocol ID (Thread::GetProtocolID()) is usually the same as the thread id (Thread::GetID()), but it can differ when a memory thread has its own id, but is backed by an actual API thread.
- Cleaned up the Thread::WillResume() code to do the mandatory parts in Thread::ShouldResume(), and let the thread subclasses override the Thread::WillResume() which is now just a notification.
- Cleaned up ClearStackFrames() implementations so that fewer thread subclasses needed to override them
- Changed the POSIXThread class a bit since it overrode Thread::WillResume(). It is doing the wrong thing by calling "Thread::SetResumeState()" on its own, this shouldn't be done by thread subclasses, but the current code might rely on it so I left it in with a TODO comment with an explanation.

LLDB is crashing when logging is enabled from lldb-perf-clang. This has to do with the global destructor chain as the process and its threads are being torn down.
All logging channels now make one and only one instance that is kept in a global pointer which is never freed. This guarantees that logging can correctly continue as the process tears itself down.

controlled by the --unwind-on-error flag, and --ignore-breakpoint which separately controls behavior when a called
function hits a breakpoint. For breakpoints, we don't unwind, we either stop, or ignore the breakpoint, which makes
more sense.
Also make both these behaviors globally settable through "settings set".
Also handle the case where a breakpoint command calls code that ends up re-hitting the breakpoint. We were recursing
and crashing. Now we just stop without calling the second command.

Added a "step-in-target" flag to "thread step-in" so if you have something like:

61
-> 62 int A6 = complex (a(4), b(5), c(6)); // Stop here to step targetting b and hitting breakpoint.
63
and you want to get into "complex" skipping a, b and c, you can do:
(lldb) step -t complex
Process 28464 stopped

I tracked down a leak that could happen when detaching from a process where the lldb_private::Process objects would stay around forever. This was caused by a eStateDetached event that was queued up on the lldb_private::Process private state thread listener. Since process events contain shared pointers to the process, this is dangerous if they don't get consume or cleared as having the lldb_private::Process class contain a collection of things that have a shared pointer to yourself is obviously bad.
To fix this I modified the Process::Finalize() function to clear this list. The actual thing that was holding onto the ModuleSP and thus the static archive, was a stack frame. Since the process wasn't going away, it still had thread objects and they still had frames. I modified the Thread::Destroy() to clear the stack frames to ensure this further doesn't happen.
