an interface to a local or remote debugging platform. By default each host OS
that supports LLDB should be registering a "default" platform that will be
used unless a new platform is selected. Platforms are responsible for things
such as:
- getting process information by name or by processs ID
- finding platform files. This is useful for remote debugging where there is
an SDK with files that might already or need to be cached for debug access.
- getting a list of platform supported architectures in the exact order they
should be selected. This helps the native x86 platform on MacOSX select the
correct x86_64/i386 slice from universal binaries.
- Connect to remote platforms for remote debugging
- Resolving an executable including finding an executable inside platform
specific bundles (macosx uses .app bundles that contain files) and also
selecting the appropriate slice of universal files for a given platform.
So by default there is always a local platform, but remote platforms can be
connected to. I will soon be adding a new "platform" command that will support
the following commands:
(lldb) platform connect --name machine1 macosx connect://host:port
Connected to "machine1" platform.
(lldb) platform disconnect macosx
This allows LLDB to be well setup to do remote debugging and also once
connected process listing and finding for things like:
(lldb) process attach --name x<TAB>
The currently selected platform plug-in can now auto complete any available
processes that start with "x". The responsibilities for the platform plug-in
will soon grow and expand.

of Stephen Wilson's idea (thanks for the input Stephen!). What I ended up
doing was:
- Got rid of ArchSpec::CPU (which was a generic CPU enumeration that mimics
the contents of llvm::Triple::ArchType). We now rely upon the llvm::Triple
to give us the machine type from llvm::Triple::ArchType.
- There is a new ArchSpec::Core definition which further qualifies the CPU
core we are dealing with into a single enumeration. If you need support for
a new Core and want to debug it in LLDB, it must be added to this list. In
the future we can allow for dynamic core registration, but for now it is
hard coded.
- The ArchSpec can now be initialized with a llvm::Triple or with a C string
that represents the triple (it can just be an arch still like "i386").
- The ArchSpec can still initialize itself with a architecture type -- mach-o
with cpu type and subtype, or ELF with e_machine + e_flags -- and this will
then get translated into the internal llvm::Triple::ArchSpec + ArchSpec::Core.
The mach-o cpu type and subtype can be accessed using the getter functions:
uint32_t
ArchSpec::GetMachOCPUType () const;
uint32_t
ArchSpec::GetMachOCPUSubType () const;
But these functions are just converting out internal llvm::Triple::ArchSpec
+ ArchSpec::Core back into mach-o. Same goes for ELF.
All code has been updated to deal with the changes.
This should abstract us until later when the llvm::TargetSpec stuff gets
finalized and we can then adopt it.

an issue with the way the UnwindLLDB was handing out RegisterContexts: it
was making shared pointers to register contexts and then handing out just
the pointers (which would get put into shared pointers in the thread and
stack frame classes) and cause double free issues. MallocScribble helped to
find these issues after I did some other cleanup. To help avoid any
RegisterContext issue in the future, all code that deals with them now
returns shared pointers to the register contexts so we don't end up with
multiple deletions. Also now that the RegisterContext class doesn't require
a stack frame, we patched a memory leak where a StackFrame object was being
created and leaked.
Made the RegisterContext class not have a pointer to a StackFrame object as
one register context class can be used for N inlined stack frames so there is
not a 1 - 1 mapping. Updates the ExecutionContextScope part of the
RegisterContext class to never return a stack frame to indicate this when it
is asked to recreate the execution context. Now register contexts point to the
concrete frame using a concrete frame index. Concrete frames are all of the
frames that are actually formed on the stack of a thread. These concrete frames
can be turned into one or more user visible frames due to inlining. Each
inlined stack frame has the exact same register context (shared via shared
pointers) as any parent inlined stack frames all the way up to the concrete
frame itself.
So now the stack frames and the register contexts should behave much better.

whether a given register number is treated as volatile
or not for a given architecture/platform.
approx 450 lines of boilerplate, 50 lines of actual code. :)
