- all instances of "vobj" have been renamed to "valobj"
- class Debugger::Formatting has been renamed to DataVisualization (defined in FormatManager.h/cpp)
The interface to this class has not changed
- FormatCategory now uses ConstString's as keys to the navigators instead of repeatedly casting
from ConstString to const char* and back all the time
Next step is making the same happen for categories themselves
- category gnu-libstdc++ is defined in the constructor for a FormatManager
The source code for it is defined in gnu_libstdcpp.py, drawn from examples/synthetic at compile time
All references to previous 'osxcpp' name have been removed from both code and file names
Functional changes:
- the name of the option to use a summary string for 'type summary add' has changed from the previous --format-string
to the new --summary-string. It is expected that the short option will change from -f to -s, and -s for --python-script
will become -o

The "systemwide summaries" feature has been removed and replaced with a more general and
powerful mechanism.
Categories:
- summaries can now be grouped into buckets, called "categories" (it is expected that categories
correspond to libraries and/or runtime environments)
- to add a summary to a category, you can use the -w option to type summary add and give
a category name (e.g. type summary add -f "foo" foo_t -w foo_category)
- categories are by default disabled, which means LLDB will not look into them for summaries,
to enable a category use "type category enable". once a category is enabled, LLDB will
look into that category for summaries. the rules are quite trivial: every enabled category
is searched for an exact match. if an exact match is nowhere to be found, any match is
searched for in every enabled category (whether it involves cascading, going to base classes,
...). categories are searched into the order in which they were enabled (the most recently
enabled category first, then the second most and so on..)
- by default, most commands that deal with summaries, use a category named "default" if no
explicit -w parameter is given (the observable behavior of LLDB should not change when
categories are not explicitly used)
- the systemwide summaries are now part of a "system" category
llvm-svn: 135463
- help type summary add now gives some hints on how to use it
frame variable and target variable now have a --no-summary-depth (-Y) option:
- simply using -Y without an argument will skip one level of summaries, i.e.
your aggregate types will expand their children and display no summary, even
if they have one. children will behave normally
- using -Y<int>, as in -Y4, -Y7, ..., will skip as many levels of summaries as
given by the <int> parameter (obviously, -Y and -Y1 are the same thing). children
beneath the given depth level will behave normally
-Y0 is the same as omitting the --no-summary-depth parameter entirely
This option replaces the defined-but-unimplemented --no-summary
