<rdar://problem/12503640> Fixing an issue where the dynamic type of an Objective-C pointer changed but we still reported the one-true-definition for the previous type. This was causing issues where a variable could be reported as being of an entirely different type after an assignment

<rdar://problem/11239650> Fixing a bug where the SetValueFromCString() method failed to operate on dynamic values. The fix consists in making the set operation fall through to the parent. We only actually allow this if the dynamic value is at a 0-offset from the parent, or the new value is 0. Other scenarios would need agreement on the actual meaning of the set operation (do we keep offsetting? do we just assume the user knows what they are doing?) so we prevent them, and let the expression parser deal with the complexity

Fixed type lookups to "do the right thing". Prior to this fix, looking up a type using "foo::bar" would result in a type list that contains all types that had "bar" as a basename unless the symbol file was able to match fully qualified names (which our DWARF parser does not). 

This fix will allow type matches to be made based on the basename and then have the types that don't match filtered out. Types by name can be fully qualified, or partially qualified with the new "bool exact_match" parameter to the Module::FindTypes() method.

This fixes some issue that we discovered with dynamic type resolution as well as improves the overall type lookups in LLDB.

I started work on being able to add symbol files after a debug session
had started with a new "target symfile add" command and quickly ran into
problems with stale Address objects in breakpoint locations that had 
lldb_private::Section pointers into modules that had been removed or 
replaced. This also let to grabbing stale modules from those sections. 
So I needed to thread harded the Address, Section and related objects.

To do this I modified the ModuleChild class to now require a ModuleSP
on initialization so that a weak reference can created. I also changed
all places that were handing out "Section *" to have them hand out SectionSP.
All ObjectFile, SymbolFile and SymbolVendors were inheriting from ModuleChild
so all of the find plug-in, static creation function and constructors now
require ModuleSP references instead of Module *. 

Address objects now have weak references to their sections which can
safely go stale when a module gets destructed. 

This checkin doesn't complete the "target symfile add" command, but it
does get us a lot clioser to being able to do such things without a high
risk of crashing or memory corruption.

Objective-C classes.  This allows LLDB to find
ivars declared in class extensions in modules other
than where the debugger is currently stopped (we
already supported this when the debugger was
stopped in the same module as the definition).

This involved the following main changes:

- The ObjCLanguageRuntime now knows how to hunt
  for the authoritative version of an Objective-C
  type.  It looks for the symbol indicating a
  definition, and then gets the type from the
  module containing that symbol.

- ValueObjects now report their type with a
  potential override, and the override is set if
  the type of the ValueObject is an Objective-C
  class or pointer type that is defined somewhere
  other than the original reported type.  This
  means that "frame variable" will always use the
  complete type if one is available.

- The ClangASTSource now looks for the complete
  type when looking for ivars.  This means that
  "expr" will always use the complete type if one
  is available.

- I added a testcase that verifies that both
  "frame variable" and "expr" work.

internals. The first part of this is to use a new class:

lldb_private::ExecutionContextRef

This class holds onto weak pointers to the target, process, thread and frame
and it also contains the thread ID and frame Stack ID in case the thread and
frame objects go away and come back as new objects that represent the same
logical thread/frame. 

ExecutionContextRef objcets have accessors to access shared pointers for
the target, process, thread and frame which might return NULL if the backing
object is no longer available. This allows for references to persistent program
state without needing to hold a shared pointer to each object and potentially
keeping that object around for longer than it needs to be. 

You can also "Lock" and ExecutionContextRef (which contains weak pointers)
object into an ExecutionContext (which contains strong, or shared pointers)
with code like

ExecutionContext exe_ctx (my_obj->GetExectionContextRef().Lock());

llvm-svn: 150801

instead of the __repr__. __repr__ is a function that should return an
expression that can be used to recreate an python object and we were using
it to just return a human readable string.

Fixed a crasher when using the new implementation of SBValue::Cast(SBType).

Thread hardened lldb::SBValue and lldb::SBWatchpoint and did other general
improvements to the API.

Fixed a crasher in lldb::SBValue::GetChildMemberWithName() where we didn't
correctly handle not having a target.

shared pointers.

Changed the ExecutionContext over to use shared pointers for
the target, process, thread and frame since these objects can
easily go away at any time and any object that was holding onto
an ExecutionContext was running the risk of using a bad object.

Now that the shared pointers for target, process, thread and
frame are just a single pointer (they all use the instrusive
shared pointers) the execution context is much safer and still
the same size. 

Made the shared pointers in the the ExecutionContext class protected
and made accessors for all of the various ways to get at the pointers,
references, and shared pointers.

Fixed an issue where the KVO swizzled type would be returned as the dynamic type instead of the actual user-level type
 - see the test case in lang/objc/objc-dynamic-value for an example
Objective-C dynamic type lookup now works for every Objective-C type
 - previously, true dynamic lookup was only performed for type id

llvm-svn: 136763

bug fix in SBValue::CreateValueFromAddress() where using the resulting VO as a pointer would crash LLDB ; minor improvements in dynamic formatters lookup

llvm-svn: 136743

Fixed a bug where a variable could not be formatted in a summary if its datatype already had a custom format
Fixed a bug where Objective-C variables coming out of the expression parser could crash the Python synthetic providers:
 - expression parser output has a "frozen data" component, which is a byte-exact copy of the value (in host memory),
   if trying to read into memory based on the host address, LLDB would crash. we are now passing the correct (target)
   pointer to the Python code
Objective-C "id" variables are now formatted according to their dynamic type, if the -d option to frame variable is used:
 - Code based on the Objective-C 2.0 runtime is used to obtain this information without running code on the target

llvm-svn: 136695

 - Completely new implementation of SBType
 - Various enhancements in several other classes
Python synthetic children providers for std::vector<T>, std::list<T> and std::map<K,V>:
 - these return the actual elements into the container as the children of the container
 - basic template name parsing that works (hopefully) on both Clang and GCC
 - find them in examples/synthetic and in the test suite in functionalities/data-formatter/data-formatter-python-synth
New summary string token ${svar :
 - the syntax is just the same as in ${var but this new token lets you read the values
   coming from the synthetic children provider instead of the actual children
 - Python providers above provide a synthetic child len that returns the number of elements
   into the container
Full bug fix for the issue in which getting byte size for a non-complete type would crash LLDB
Several other fixes, including:
 - inverted the order of arguments in the ClangASTType constructor
 - EvaluationPoint now only returns SharedPointer's to Target and Process
 - the help text for several type subcommands now correctly indicates argument-less options as such

variables prior to running your binary. Zero filled sections now get
section data correctly filled with zeroes when Target::ReadMemory
reads from the object file section data.

Added new option groups and option values for file lists. I still need
to hook up all of the options to "target variable" to allow more complete
introspection by file and shlib.

Added the ability for ValueObjectVariable objects to be created with
only the target as the execution context. This allows them to be read
from the object files through Target::ReadMemory(...). 

Added a "virtual Module * GetModule()" function to the ValueObject
class. By default it will look to the parent variable object and
return its module. The module is needed when we have global variables
that have file addresses (virtual addresses that are specific to
module object files) and in turn allows global variables to be displayed
prior to running.

Removed all of the unused proxy object support that bit rotted in 
lldb_private::Value.

Replaced a lot of places that used "FileSpec::Compare (lhs, rhs) == 0" code
with the more efficient "FileSpec::Equal (lhs, rhs)".

Improved logging in GDB remote plug-in.

 - type names can now be regular expressions (exact matching is done first, and is faster)
 - integral (and floating) types can be printed as bitfields, i.e. ${var[low-high]} will extract bits low thru high of the value and print them
 - array subscripts are supported, both for arrays and for pointers. the syntax is ${*var[low-high]}, or ${*var[]} to print the whole array (the latter only works for statically sized arrays)
 - summary is now printed by default when a summary string references a variable. if that variable's type has no summary, value is printed instead. to force value, you can use %V as a format specifier
 - basic support for ObjectiveC:
  - ObjectiveC inheritance chains are now walked through
  - %@ can be specified as a summary format, to print the ObjectiveC runtime description for an object
 - some bug fixes

"struct ", "class ", and "union " from the start of any type names that are
extracted from clang QualType objects. I had to fix test suite cases that
were expecting the struct/union/class prefix to be there.

pointer to a ValueObject or any of its dependent ValueObjects, and the whole cluster will
stay around as long as that shared pointer stays around.

llvm-svn: 130035

Add support for "dynamic values" for C++ classes.  This currently only works for "frame var" and for the
expressions that are simple enough to get passed to the "frame var" underpinnings.  The parser code will
have to be changed to also query for the dynamic types & offsets as it is looking up variables.

The behavior of "frame var" is controlled in two ways.  You can pass "-d {true/false} to the frame var
command to get the dynamic or static value of the variables you are printing.

There's also a general setting:

target.prefer-dynamic-value (boolean) = 'true'

which is consulted if you call "frame var" without supplying a value for the -d option.
