Targets can now specify some additional parameters for when we debug executables that can help with plug-in selection: target.execution-level = auto | user | kernel target.execution-mode = auto | dynamic | static target.execution-os-type = auto | none | halted | live On some systems, the binaries that are created are the same wether you use them to debug a kernel, or a user space program. Many times inspecting an object file can reveal what an executable should be. For these cases we can now be a little more complete by specifying wether to detect all of these things automatically (inspect the main executable file and select a plug-in accordingly), or manually to force the selection of certain plug-ins. To do this we now allow the specficifation of wether one is debugging a user space program (target.execution-level = user) or a kernel program (target.execution-level = kernel). We can also specify if we want to debug a program where shared libraries are dynamically loaded using a DynamicLoader plug-in (target.execution-mode = dynamic), or wether we will treat all symbol files as already linked at the correct address (target.execution-mode = static). We can also specify if the inferior we are debugging is being debugged on a bare board (target.execution-os-type = none), or debugging an OS where we have a JTAG or other direct connection to the inferior stops the entire OS (target.execution-os-type = halted), or if we are debugging a program on something that has live debug services (target.execution-os-type = live). For the "target.execution-os-type = halted" mode, we will need to create ProcessHelper plug-ins that allow us to extract the process/thread and other OS information by reading/writing memory. This should allow LLDB to be used for a wide variety of debugging tasks and handle them all correctly. llvm-svn: 125815
