      Add BasicFormatter and ChildVisitingFormatter utility classes to the lldbutil.py module · 989b7efd
      Johnny Chen authored
      which provide some convenient ways to print an SBValue object.  Use that in TestValueAPI.py
      to print the 'days_of_week' char* array variable.
      
      For an example:
      
      cvf = lldbutil.ChildVisitingFormatter(indent=2)
      print cvf.format(days_of_week)
      
      produces:
      
      (const char *[7]) days_of_week = 0x00000001026a5060 (location)
        (const char *) [0] = "Sunday"
        (const char *) [1] = "Monday"
        (const char *) [2] = "Tuesday"
        (const char *) [3] = "Wednesday"
        (const char *) [4] = "Thursday"
        (const char *) [5] = "Friday"
        (const char *) [6] = "Saturday"

      Enrico Granata authored
      when typing a summary string you can use the %S symbol to explicitly indicate that you want the summary to be used to print the target object
       (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

      The implementation of categories is now synchronization safe · 20edcdbe
      Enrico Granata authored
      Code cleanup:
       - The Format Manager implementation is now split between two files: FormatClasses.{h|cpp} where the
         actual formatter classes (ValueFormat, SummaryFormat, ...) are implemented and
         FormatManager.{h|cpp} where the infrastructure classes (FormatNavigator, FormatManager, ...)
         are contained. The wrapper code always remains in Debugger.{h|cpp}
       - Several leftover fields, methods and comments from previous design choices have been removed
      type category subcommands (enable, disable, delete) now can take a list of category names as input
       - for type category enable, saying "enable A B C" is the same as saying
          enable C
          enable B
          enable A
         (the ordering is relevant in enabling categories, and it is expected that a user typing
          enable A B C wants to look into category A, then into B, then into C and not the other
          way round)
       - for the other two commands, the order is not really relevant (however, the same inverted ordering
         is used for consistency)

      Fixed a bug where deleting a regex summary would not immediately reflect in the variables display · 1490c6fd
      Enrico Granata authored
      The "systemwide summaries" feature has been removed and replaced with a more general and
      powerful mechanism.
      Categories:
       - summaries can now be grouped into buckets, called "categories" (it is expected that categories
         correspond to libraries and/or runtime environments)
       - to add a summary to a category, you can use the -w option to type summary add and give
         a category name (e.g. type summary add -f "foo" foo_t -w foo_category)
       - categories are by default disabled, which means LLDB will not look into them for summaries,
         to enable a category use "type category enable". once a category is enabled, LLDB will
         look into that category for summaries. the rules are quite trivial: every enabled category
         is searched for an exact match. if an exact match is nowhere to be found, any match is
         searched for in every enabled category (whether it involves cascading, going to base classes,
         ...). categories are searched into the order in which they were enabled (the most recently
         enabled category first, then the second most and so on..)
       - by default, most commands that deal with summaries, use a category named "default" if no
         explicit -w parameter is given (the observable behavior of LLDB should not change when
         categories are not explicitly used)
       - the systemwide summaries are now part of a "system" category

      Some descriptive text for the Python script feature: · 0c5ef693
      Enrico Granata authored
       - help type summary add now gives some hints on how to use it
      frame variable and target variable now have a --no-summary-depth (-Y) option:
       - simply using -Y without an argument will skip one level of summaries, i.e.
         your aggregate types will expand their children and display no summary, even
         if they have one. children will behave normally
       - using -Y<int>, as in -Y4, -Y7, ..., will skip as many levels of summaries as
         given by the <int> parameter (obviously, -Y and -Y1 are the same thing). children
         beneath the given depth level will behave normally
       -Y0 is the same as omitting the --no-summary-depth parameter entirely
       This option replaces the defined-but-unimplemented --no-summary

      System-wide summaries: · 9dd75c88
      Enrico Granata authored
       - Summaries for char*, const char* and char[] are loaded at startup as
         system-wide summaries. This means you cannot delete them unless you use
         the -a option to type summary delete/clear
       - You can add your own system-wide summaries by using the -w option to type
         summary add
      Several code improvements for the Python summaries feature

      Added the ability to get synthetic child values from SBValue objects that · f6602482
      Greg Clayton authored
      represent pointers and arrays by adding an extra parameter to the 
      
      SBValue
      SBValue::GetChildAtIndex (uint32_t idx, 
                               DynamicValueType use_dynamic, 
                               bool can_create_synthetic);
      
      The new "can_create_synthetic" will allow you to create child values that
      aren't actually a part of the original type. So if you code like:
      
      int *foo_ptr = ...
      
      And you have a SBValue that contains the value for "foo_ptr":
      
      SBValue foo_value = ...
      
      You can now get the "foo_ptr[12]" item by doing this:
      
      v = foo_value.GetChiltAtIndex (12, lldb.eNoDynamicValues, True);
      
      Normall the "foo_value" would only have one child value (an integer), but
      we can create "synthetic" child values by treating the pointer as an array.
      
      Likewise if you have code like:
      
      int array[2];
      
      array_value = ....
      
      v = array_value.GetChiltAtIndex (0);     // Success, v will be valid
      v = array_value.GetChiltAtIndex (1);     // Success, v will be valid
      v = array_value.GetChiltAtIndex (2);     // Fail, v won't be valid, "2" is not a valid zero based index in "array"
      
      But if you use the ability to create synthetic children:
      
      v = array_value.GetChiltAtIndex (0, lldb.eNoDynamicValues, True);     // Success, v will be valid
      v = array_value.GetChiltAtIndex (1, lldb.eNoDynamicValues, True);     // Success, v will be valid
      v = array_value.GetChiltAtIndex (2, lldb.eNoDynamicValues, True);     // Success, v will be valid

      Python summary strings: · f2bbf717
      Enrico Granata authored
       - you can use a Python script to write a summary string for data-types, in one of
         three ways:
          -P option and typing the script a line at a time
          -s option and passing a one-line Python script
          -F option and passing the name of a Python function
         these options all work for the "type summary add" command
         your Python code (if provided through -P or -s) is wrapped in a function
         that accepts two parameters: valobj (a ValueObject) and dict (an LLDB
         internal dictionary object). if you use -F and give a function name,
         you're expected to define the function on your own and with the right
         prototype. your function, however defined, must return a Python string
       - test case for the Python summary feature
       - a few quirks:
        Python summaries cannot have names, and cannot use regex as type names
        both issues will be fixed ASAP
      major redesign of type summary code:
       - type summary working with strings and type summary working with Python code
         are two classes, with a common base class SummaryFormat
       - SummaryFormat classes now are able to actively format objects rather than
         just aggregating data
       - cleaner code to print descriptions for summaries
      the public API now exports a method to easily navigate a ValueObject hierarchy
      New InputReaderEZ and PriorityPointerPair classes
      Several minor fixes and improvements

      The reasom of the crash is because of a missing entry in the argument table corresponding to eArgTypeUnsignedInteger.
      Add such entry and modify the call site of the crash to go through a fail-fast API to retrieve the argument table.
