This takes two important changes:
- Calling blocks is now supported. You need to
cast their return values, but that works fine.
- We now can correctly run JIT-compiled
expressions that use floating-point numbers.
Also, we have taken a fix that allows us to
ignore access control in Objective-C as in C++.

This fix really needed to happen as a previous fix I had submitted for
calculating symbol sizes made many symbols appear to have zero size since
the function that was calculating the symbol size was calling another function
that would cause the calculation to happen again. This resulted in some symbols
having zero size when they shouldn't. This could then cause infinite stack
traces and many other side affects.

allocations by section. We install these sections
in the target process and inform the JIT of their
new locations.
Also removed some unused variable warnings.

I started work on being able to add symbol files after a debug session
had started with a new "target symfile add" command and quickly ran into
problems with stale Address objects in breakpoint locations that had
lldb_private::Section pointers into modules that had been removed or
replaced. This also let to grabbing stale modules from those sections.
So I needed to thread harded the Address, Section and related objects.
To do this I modified the ModuleChild class to now require a ModuleSP
on initialization so that a weak reference can created. I also changed
all places that were handing out "Section *" to have them hand out SectionSP.
All ObjectFile, SymbolFile and SymbolVendors were inheriting from ModuleChild
so all of the find plug-in, static creation function and constructors now
require ModuleSP references instead of Module *.
Address objects now have weak references to their sections which can
safely go stale when a module gets destructed.
This checkin doesn't complete the "target symfile add" command, but it
does get us a lot clioser to being able to do such things without a high
risk of crashing or memory corruption.

Objective-C classes. This allows LLDB to find
ivars declared in class extensions in modules other
than where the debugger is currently stopped (we
already supported this when the debugger was
stopped in the same module as the definition).
This involved the following main changes:
- The ObjCLanguageRuntime now knows how to hunt
for the authoritative version of an Objective-C
type. It looks for the symbol indicating a
definition, and then gets the type from the
module containing that symbol.
- ValueObjects now report their type with a
potential override, and the override is set if
the type of the ValueObject is an Objective-C
class or pointer type that is defined somewhere
other than the original reported type. This
means that "frame variable" will always use the
complete type if one is available.
- The ClangASTSource now looks for the complete
type when looking for ivars. This means that
"expr" will always use the complete type if one
is available.
- I added a testcase that verifies that both
"frame variable" and "expr" work.

the lldb_private::StackFrame objects hold onto a weak pointer to the thread
object. The lldb_private::StackFrame objects the the most volatile objects
we have as when we are doing single stepping, frames can often get lost or
thrown away, only to be re-created as another object that still refers to the
same frame. We have another bug tracking that. But we need to be able to
have frames no longer be able to get the thread when they are not part of
a thread anymore, and this is the first step (this fix makes that possible
but doesn't implement it yet).
Also changed lldb_private::ExecutionContextScope to return shared pointers to
all objects in the execution context to further thread harden the internals.

"expr $pc"). Now the expression parser can do this

indicate whether inline functions are desired.
This allows the expression parser, for instance,
to filter out inlined functions when looking for

parser. Specifically:
- ClangUserExpression now keeps weak pointers to the
structures it needs and then locks them when needed.
This ensures that they continue to be valid without
leaking memory if the ClangUserExpression is long
lived.
- ClangExpressionDeclMap, instead of keeping a pointer
to an ExecutionContext, now contains an
ExecutionContext. This prevents bugs if the pointer
or its contents somehow become stale. It also no
longer requires that ExecutionContexts be passed
into any function except its initialization function,
since it can count on the ExecutionContext still
being around.
There's a lot of room for improvement (specifically,
ClangExpressionDeclMap should also use weak pointers
insetad of shared pointers) but this is an important
first step that codifies assumptions that already
existed in the code.
llvm-svn: 150217
information about the current frame rather than
the debug information about "this" and "self"
when determining the types of those pointers.
This allows expressions to work in frames that
don't have valid "this" and "self" pointers,
working around poor debug information.

sufficiently general - it could only handle
literals and operations that didn't change the
data. Now the constant evaluator passes APInt

constants.

LLVM/Clang. This brings in several fixes, including:
- Improvements in the Just-In-Time compiler's
allocation of memory: the JIT now allocates
memory in chunks of sections, improving its
ability to generate relocations. I have
revamped the RecordingMemoryManager to reflect
these changes, as well as to get the memory
allocation and data copying out fo the
ClangExpressionParser code. Jim Grosbach wrote
the updates to the JIT on the LLVM side.
- A new ExternalASTSource interface to allow LLDB to
report accurate structure layout information to
Clang. Previously we could only report the sizes
of fields, not their offsets. This meant that if
data structures included field alignment
directives, we could not communicate the necessary
alignment to Clang and accesses to the data would
fail. Now we can (and I have update the relevant
test case). Thanks to Doug Gregor for implementing
the Clang side of this fix.
- The way Objective-C interfaces are completed by
Clang has been made consistent with RecordDecls;
with help from Doug Gregor and Greg Clayton I have
ensured that this still works.
- I have eliminated all local LLVM and Clang patches,
committing the ones that are still relevant to LLVM
and Clang as needed.
I have tested the changes extensively locally, but
please let me know if they cause any trouble for you.

due to RTTI worries since llvm and clang don't use RTTI, but I was able to
switch back with no issues as far as I can tell. Once the RTTI issue wasn't
an issue, we were looking for a way to properly track weak pointers to objects
to solve some of the threading issues we have been running into which naturally
led us back to std::tr1::weak_ptr. We also wanted the ability to make a shared
pointer from just a pointer, which is also easily solved using the
std::tr1::enable_shared_from_this class.
The main reason for this move back is so we can start properly having weak
references to objects. Currently a lldb_private::Thread class has a refrence
to its parent lldb_private::Process. This doesn't work well when we now hand
out a SBThread object that contains a shared pointer to a lldb_private::Thread
as this SBThread can be held onto by external clients and if they end up
using one of these objects we can easily crash.
So the next task is to start adopting std::tr1::weak_ptr where ever it makes
sense which we can do with lldb_private::Debugger, lldb_private::Target,
lldb_private::Process, lldb_private::Thread, lldb_private::StackFrame, and
many more objects now that they are no longer using intrusive ref counted
pointer objects (you can't do std::tr1::weak_ptr functionality with intrusive
pointers).

an error along with its boolean result. The
expression parser reports this error if the
interpreter fails and the expression could not be
run in the target.

for each ObjCInterfaceDecl was imposing performance
penalties for Objective-C apps. Instead, we now use
the normal function query mechanisms, which use the
relevant accelerator tables.
This fix also includes some modifications to the
SymbolFile which allow us to find Objective-C methods
and report their Clang Decls correctly.
llvm-svn: 148457
parser was creating malformed resuls. When the
location of a variable is computed by reading a
register and adding an offset, we shouldn't say
that the variable's value is located in that
register. This was confusing the expression
parser when trying to read a variable captured
by a block.

which is much more convenient.

parser has hitherto been an implementation waiting
for a use. I have now tied the '-o' option for
the expression command -- which indicates that the
result is an Objective-C object and needs to be
printed -- to the ExpressionParser, which
communicates the desired type to Clang.
Now, if the result of an expression is determined
by an Objective-C method call for which there is
no type information, that result is implicitly
cast to id if and only if the -o option is passed
to the expression command. (Otherwise if there
is no explicit cast Clang will issue an error.
This behavior is identical to what happened before
r146756.)
Also added a testcase for -o enabled and disabled.

"id" from being found by the parser as an
externally-defined type. Before, "id" would
sometimes make it through if it was defined in
a namespace, but this sometimes caused
confusion, for example when it conflicted with
std::locale::id.

valobj.AddressOf() returns None when an address is expected in a SyntheticChildrenProvider
Patch from Enrico Granata:
The problem was that the frozen object created by the expression parser was a copy of the contents of the StgClosure, rather than a pointer to it. Thus, the expression parser was correctly computing the result of the arithmetic&cast operation along with its address, but only saving it in the live object. This meant that the frozen copy acted as an address-less variable, hence the problem.
The fix attached to this email lets the expression parser store the "live address" in the frozen copy of the address when the object is built without a valid address of its own.
Doing so, along with delegating ValueObjectConstResult to calculate its own address when necessary, solves the issue. I have also added a new test case to check for regressions in this area, and checked that existing test cases pass correctly.
llvm-svn: 146768
we handle Objective-C method calls. Currently,
LLDB treats the result of an Objective-C method
as unknown if the type information doesn't have
the method's signature. Now Clang can cast the
result to id if it isn't explicitly cast.
I also added a test case for this, as well as a
fix for a type import problem that this feature
exposed.
llvm-svn: 146756
the expression parser to locate instances where
dyn_cast<>() and isa<>() are used on types, and
replace them with getAs<>() as appropriate.
The difference is that dyn_cast<>() and isa<>()
are essentially LLVM/Clang's equivalent of RTTI
-- that is, they try to downcast the object and
return NULL if they cannot -- but getAs<>() can
traverse typedefs to perform a semantic cast.
llvm-svn: 146537
validates the "self," "this," and "_cmd" pointers
that get passed into expressions. It used to check
them aggressively for validity before allowing the
expression to run as an object method; now, this
functionality is gated by a bool and off by default.
Now the default is that when LLDB is stopped in a
method of a class, code entered using "expr" will
always masquerade as an instance method. If for
some reason "self," "this," or "_cmd" is unavailable
it will be reported as NULL. This may cause the
expression to crash if it relies on those pointers,
but for example getting the addresses of ivars will
now work as the user would expect.
llvm-svn: 146465
- Even if a frame isn't present, we always try
to use FindGlobalVariable to find variables.
Instead of using frame->TrackGlobalVariable()
to promote the VariableSP into a ValueObject,
we now simply use ValueObjectVariable.
- When requesting the value of a variable, we
allow returning of the "live version" of the
variable -- that is, the variable in the
target instead of a pointer to its freeze
dried version in LLDB -- even if there is no
process present.
