Compilers and language runtimes often use helper functions that are
fundamentally uninteresting when debugging anything but the
compiler/runtime itself. This patch introduces a user-extensible
mechanism that allows for these frames to be hidden from backtraces and
automatically skipped over when navigating the stack with `up` and
`down`.
This does not affect the numbering of frames, so `f <N>` will still
provide access to the hidden frames. The `bt` output will also print a
hint that frames have been hidden.
My primary motivation for this feature is to hide thunks in the Swift
programming language, but I'm including an example recognizer for
`std::function::operator()` that I wished for myself many times while
debugging LLDB.

Example output. (Yes, my proof-of-concept recognizer could hide even
more frames if we had a method that returned the function name without
the return type or I used something that isn't based off regex, but it's
really only meant as an example).

Change the signature of `DWARFExpression::Evaluate` and

error handling.
that separates out language and version. To avoid reinventing the wheel
and introducing subtle incompatibilities, this API uses the table of
languages and versiond defined by the upcoming DWARF 6 standard
(https://dwarfstd.org/languages-v6.html). While the DWARF 6 spec is not
finialized, the list of languages is broadly considered stable.
The primary motivation for this is to allow the Swift language plugin to
switch between language dialects between, e.g., Swift 5.9 and 6.0 with
out introducing a ton of new language codes. On the main branch this
change is considered NFC.
Depends on https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/89980

This commits fixes a few subtle bugs where the method:
1. Declares a local `Status error` which eclipses the method's parameter
`Status &error`.
- The method then sets the error state to the local `error` and returns
without ever touching the parameter `&error`.
- This effectively traps the error state and its message from ever
reaching the caller.
- I also threw in a null pointer check in case the callee doesn't set
its `Status` parameter but returns `0`/`nullptr`.
2. Declares a local `Status deref_error` (good), passes it to the
`Dereference` method (also good), but then checks the status of the
method's `Status &error` parameter (not good).
- The fix checks `deref_error` instead and also checks for a `nullptr`
return value.
- There's a good opportunity here for a future PR that changes the
`Dereference` method to fold an error state into the `ValueObject`
return value's `m_error` instead of using a parameter.
3. Declares another local `Status error`, which it doesn't pass to a
method (because there isn't a parameter for it), and then checks for an
error condition that never happens.
- The fix just checks the callee's return value, because that's all it
has to go on.
- This likely comes from a copy/paste from issue 1 above.

The `v` (`frame variable`) command can directly access ivars/fields of `this` or `self`.
Such as `v field`, instead of `v this->field`. This change relaxes the criteria for
finding `this`/`self` variables.
There are cases where a `this`/`self` variable does exist, but up to now the `v` command
has not made use of it. The user would have to explicitly run `v this->field` or
`self->_ivar` to access ivars. This change allows such cases to also work (without
explicitly dereferencing `this`/`self`).
A very common example in Objective-C (and Swift) is weakly capturing `self`:
```
__weak Type *weakSelf = self;
void (^block)(void) = ^{
Type *self = weakSelf; // Re-establish strong reference.
// `v _ivar` should work just as well as `v self->_ivar`.
};
```
In this case, `self` exists but `v` would not have used it. With this change, the fact
that a variable named `self` exists is enough for it to be used.

When a process gets restarted TypeSystem objects associated with it
may get deleted, and any CompilerType objects holding on to a
reference to that type system are a use-after-free in waiting. Because
of the SBAPI, we don't have tight control over where CompilerTypes go
and when they are used. This is particularly a problem in the Swift
plugin, where the scratch TypeSystem can be restarted while the
process is still running. The Swift plugin has a lock to prevent
abuse, but where there's a lock there can be bugs.
This patch changes CompilerType to store a std::weak_ptr<TypeSystem>.
Most of the std::weak_ptr<TypeSystem>* uglyness is hidden by
introducing a wrapper class CompilerType::WrappedTypeSystem that has a
dyn_cast_or_null() method. The only sites that need to know about the
weak pointer implementation detail are the ones that deal with
creating TypeSystems.

Many times when debugging variables might not be available even though a user can successfully set breakpoints and stops somewhere. Letting the user know will help users fix these kinds of issues and have a better debugging experience.
Examples of this include:
- enabling -gline-tables-only and being able to set file and line breakpoints and yet see no variables
- unable to open object file for DWARF in .o file debugging for darwin targets due to modification time mismatch or not being able to locate the N_OSO file.
This patch adds an new API to SBValueList:
lldb::SBError lldb::SBValueList::GetError();
object so that if you request a stack frame's variables using SBValueList SBFrame::GetVariables(...), you can get an error the describes why the variables were not available.
This patch adds the ability to get an error back when requesting variables from a lldb_private::StackFrame when calling GetVariableList.

The `frame variable` command supports an implicit `this`/`self`, allowing a
user to run `v some_field` instead of `v this->some_field`. However, some
languages have non-pointer `this`/`self` types (for example, Swift).
This change adds support for non-pointer implicit `this`/`self`. This is done
by consulting the type of the instance variable. If the type is known to be
non-pointer, the dot operator is used instead of the arrow operator.
The C language of families each have a pointer instance type, which makes
testing of this difficult. Tests for this feature will be done in the Swift
downstream fork, as Swift's `self` is a non-pointer (reference) type.

Most of our code was including Log.h even though that is not where the

After the recent refactor, it became impossible the two files include

It can happen that a line entry reports that some source code is located
at line 0. In DWARF, line 0 is a special location which indicates that
code has no 1-1 mapping with source.
When stopping in one of those artificial locations, lldb doesn't know which
line to display and shows the beginning of the file instead.
This patch mitigates this behaviour by checking if the current symbol context
of the line entry has a matching function, in which case, it slides the
source listing to the start of that function.
This patch also shows the user a warning explaining why lldb couldn't
show sources at that location.

equivalent and important for performance-sensitive cases.

SBFrame::Disassemble functionality because it unconditionally converts
the number of instructions to a Range{Limit::Instructions,
num_instructions}. This is subtly different from the previous behavior,
where now we're passing a Range and assume it's valid in the callee, the
original code would propagate num_instructions and the callee would
compare the value and decided between disassembling instructions or
bytes.
Unfortunately the existing tests was not particularly strict:
disassembly = frame.Disassemble()
self.assertNotEqual(len(disassembly), 0, "Disassembly was empty.")
This would pass because without this patch we'd disassemble zero
instructions, resulting in an error:

Summary:
Currently the frame recognizers are stored in a global list (the list in the
StackFrameRecognizersManagerImpl singleton to be precise). All commands and
plugins that modify the list are just modifying that global list of recognizers
which is shared by all Target and Debugger instances.
This is clearly against the idea of LLDB being usable as a library and it also
leads to some very obscure errors as now multiple tests are sharing the used
frame recognizers. For example D83400 is currently failing as it reorders some
test_ functions which permanently changes the frame recognizers of all
debuggers/targets. As all frame recognizers are also initialized in a 'once'
guard, it's also impossible to every restore back the original frame recognizers
once they are deleted in a process.
This patch just moves the frame recognizers into the current target. This seems
the way everyone assumes the system works as for example the assert frame
recognizers is using the current target to find the function/so-name to look for
(which only works if the recognizers are stored in the target).

The fix simplifies the termination condition of the expression path parsing loop to check if have a non-empty remaining string to parse. Previously, the condition checked if a separator was found. That condition coincided with the remaining string-to-parse condition except for the buggy indexed case where non-empty string was left ("+5" in the example above), but the separator index was 'npos'.

Fix to code from https://reviews.llvm.org/D64993.
Field StackFrame::m_behaves_like_zeroth_frame was introduced in commit
[1], however that commit hasn't added a copying of the field to
UpdatePreviousFrameFromCurrentFrame, therefore the value wouldn't change
when updating frames to reflect the current situation.
The particular scenario, where this matters is following. Assume we have
function main that invokes function func1. We set breakpoint at
func1 entry and in main after the func1 call, and do not stop at
the main entry. Therefore, when debugger stops for the first time,
func1 is frame#0, while main is frame#1, thus
m_behaves_like_zeroth_frame is set to 0 for main frame. Execution is
resumed, and stops now in main, where it is now frame#0. However while
updating the frame object, m_behaves_like_zeroth_frame remains false.
This field plays an important role when calculating line information for
backtrace: for frame#0, PC is the current line, therefore line
information is retrieved for PC, however for all other frames this is
not the case - calculated PC is a return-PC, i.e. instruction after the
function call line, therefore for those frames LLDB needs to step back
by one instruction. Initial implementation did this strictly for frames
that have index != 0 (and index is updated properly in
UpdatePreviousFrameFromCurrentFrame), but m_behaves_like_zeroth_frame
added a capability for middle-of-stack frames to behave in a similar
manner. But because current code now doesn't check frame idx,
m_behaves_like_zeroth_frame must be set to true for frames with 0 index,
not only for frame that behave like one. In the described test case,
after stopping in main, LLDB would still consider frame#0 as
non-zeroth, and would subtract instruction from the PC, and would report
previous like as current line.
The error doesn't manifest itself in LLDB interpreter though - it can be
reproduced through LLDB-MI and when using SB API, but not when we
interpreter command "continue" is executed. Honestly, I didn't fully
understand why it works in interpreter, I did found that bug "fixes"
itself if I enable DEBUG_STACK_FRAMES in StackFrameList.cpp, because
that calls StackFrame::Dump and that calls
GetSymbolContext(eSymbolContextEverything), which fills the context of
frame on the first breakpoint, therefore it doesn't have to be
recalculated (improperly) on a second frame. However, on first
breakpoint symbol context is calculated for the "call" line, not the
next one, therefore it should be recalculated anyway on a second
breakpoint, and it is done correctly, even though
m_behaves_like_zeroth_frame is still incorrect, as long as
GetSymbolContext(eSymbolContextEverything) has been called.

Summary:
The class has two pairs of functions whose functionalities differ in
only how one specifies how much he wants to disasseble. One limits the
process by the size of the input memory region. The other based on the
total amount of instructions disassembled. They also differ in various
features (like error reporting) that were only added to one of the
versions.
There are various ways in which this could be addressed. This patch
does it by introducing a helper struct called "Limit", which is
effectively a pair specifying the value that you want to limit, and the
actual limit itself.

This avoids some defensive null checks and simplifies most of the

this is now unused and can be removed.
Summary:
A *.cpp file header in LLDB (and in LLDB) should like this:
```
//===-- TestUtilities.cpp -------------------------------------------------===//
```
However in LLDB most of our source files have arbitrary changes to this format and
these changes are spreading through LLDB as folks usually just use the existing
source files as templates for their new files (most notably the unnecessary
editor language indicator `-*- C++ -*-` is spreading and in every review
someone is pointing out that this is wrong, resulting in people pointing out that this
is done in the same way in other files).
This patch removes most of these inconsistencies including the editor language indicators,
all the different missing/additional '-' characters, files that center the file name, missing
trailing `===//` (mostly caused by clang-format breaking the line).
