# Iterator for lldb aggregate data structures
# ===========================================

def lldb_iter(obj, getsize, getelem):
    """A generator adaptor for lldb aggregate data structures.

    API clients pass in an aggregate object or a container of it, the name of
    the method to get the size of the aggregate, and the name of the method to
    get the element by index.

    Example usages:

    1. Pass an aggregate as the first argument:

    def disassemble_instructions (insts):
        from lldbutil import lldb_iter
        for i in lldb_iter(insts, 'GetSize', 'GetInstructionAtIndex'):
            print i

    2. Pass a container of aggregate which provides APIs to get to the size and
       the element of the aggregate:

    # Module is a container of symbol table 
    module = target.FindModule(filespec)
    for symbol in lldb_iter(module, 'GetNumSymbols', 'GetSymbolAtIndex'):
        name = symbol.GetName()
        ...

    An example of eligible lldb container object is SBModule, which contains

    is ambiguous which containee type to iterate on, the best we can do is to
    return None.  API clients can use lldb_iter() to clarify their intentions.

    SBSymbol does not have the notion of containee objects and is not eligible
    for smart iterator.
