e.g. you may get "foo_class @ 0x123456" when typing "type summary add -f ${var} foo_class"
- Added a new special formatting token %T for summaries. This shows the type of the object.
Using it, the new "type @ location" summary could be manually generated by writing ${var%T} @ ${var%L}
- Bits and pieces required to support "frame variable array[n-m]"
The feature is not enabled yet because some additional design and support code is required, but the basics
are getting there
- Fixed a potential issue where a ValueObjectSyntheticFilter was not holding on to its SyntheticChildrenSP
Because of the way VOSF are being built now, this has never been an actual issue, but it is still sensible for
a VOSF to hold on to the SyntheticChildrenSP as well as to its FrontEnd

- reorganizing the PTS (Partial Template Specializations) in FormatManager.h
- applied a patch by Filipe Cabecinhas to make LLDB compile with GCC
Functional changes:
- fixed an issue where command type summary add for type "struct Foo" would not match any types.
currently, "struct" will be stripped off and type "Foo" will be matched.
similar behavior occurs for class, enum and union specifiers.

(e.g. ${var%S}). this might already be the default if your variable is of an aggregate type
new feature: synthetic filters. you can restrict the number of children for your variables to only a meaningful subset
- the restricted list of children obeys the typical rules (e.g. summaries prevail over children)
- one-line summaries show only the filtered (synthetic) children, if you type an expanded summary string, or you use Python scripts, all the real children are accessible
- to provide a synthetic children list use the "type synth add" command, as in:
type synth add foo_type --child varA --child varB[0] --child varC->packet->flags[1-4]
(you can use ., ->, single-item array operator [N] and bitfield operator [N-M]; array slice access is not supported, giving simplified names to expression paths is not supported)
- a new -S option to frame variable and target variable lets you override synthetic children and instead show real ones
llvm-svn: 135731
- formats %s %char[] %c and %a now work to print 0-terminated c-strings if they are applied to a char* or char[] even without the [] operator (e.g. ${var%s})
- array formats (char[], intN[], ..) now work when applied to an array of a scalar type even without the [] operator (e.g. ${var%int32_t[]})
LLDB will not crash because of endless loop when trying to obtain a summary for an object that has no value and references itself in its summary string
In many cases, a wrong summary string will now display an "<error>" message instead of giving out an empty string
llvm-svn: 135007
- a new --name option for "type summary add" lets you give a name to a summary
- a new --summary option for "frame variable" lets you bind a named summary to one or more variables
${var%s} now works for printing the value of 0-terminated CStrings
type format test case now tests for cascading
- this is disabled on GCC because GCC may end up stripping typedef chains, basically breaking cascading
new design for the FormatNavigator class
new template class CleanUp2 meant to support cleanup routines with 1 additional parameter beyond resource handle
llvm-svn: 134943
new GetValueForExpressionPath() method in ValueObject to navigate expression paths in a more bitfield vs slices aware way
changes to the varformats.html document (WIP)
llvm-svn: 134679
- ${*expr} now simply means to dereference expr before actually using it
- bitfields, array ranges and pointer ranges now work in a (hopefully) more natural and language-compliant way
a new class TypeHierarchyNavigator replicates the behavior of the FormatManager in going through type hierarchies
when one-lining summary strings, children's summaries can be used as well as values
