This is a very basic implementation of a library that easily allows to drive LLDB.framework to write test cases for performance
This is separate from the LLDB testsuite in test/ in that:
a) this uses C++ instead of Python to avoid measures being affected by SWIG
b) this is in very early development and needs lots of tweaking before it can be considered functionally complete
c) this is not meant to test correctness but to help catch performance regressions
There is a sample application built against the library (in darwin/sketch) that uses the famous sample app Sketch as an inferior to measure certain basic parameters of LLDB's behavior.
The resulting output is a PLIST much like the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Areas for improvement:
- code cleanups (I will be out of the office for a couple days this coming week, but please keep ideas coming!)
- more metrics and test cases
- better error checking
This toolkit also comprises a simple event-loop-driven controller for LLDB, similar yet much simpler to what the Driver does to implement the lldb command-line tool.

I used this to verify that the debug map line tables were the same as previous LLDB releases prior to my change in the DWARF in .o file linking.

If you try to access any child > 0 without having touched child 0, LLDB won't be able to reconstruct type information from the debug info.
Previously, we would fail.
Now, we simply go fetch child 0 and then come back.

C++11 lambdas that don't capture anything can be used as static callback functions!
Heavily modified this python module to be able to not require a dylib in order to traverse the heap allocations.
Re-implemented the ptr_refs, objc_refs, malloc_info and cstr_refs to use complex expressions that use lambdas to do all static callback function work.

Major fixed to allow reading files that are over 4GB. The main problems were that the DataExtractor was using 32 bit offsets as a data cursor, and since we mmap all of our object files we could run into cases where if we had a very large core file that was over 4GB, we were running into the 4GB boundary.
So I defined a new "lldb::offset_t" which should be used for all file offsets.
After making this change, I enabled warnings for data loss and for enexpected implicit conversions temporarily and found a ton of things that I fixed.
Any functions that take an index internally, should use "size_t" for any indexes and also should return "size_t" for any sizes of collections.

Added the ability for OS plug-ins to lazily populate the thread this. The python OS plug-in classes can now implement the following method:
class OperatingSystemPlugin:
def create_thread(self, tid, context):
# Return a dictionary for a new thread to create it on demand
This will add a new thread to the thread list if it doesn't already exist. The example code in lldb/examples/python/operating_system.py has been updated to show how this call us used.
Cleaned up the code in PythonDataObjects.cpp/h:
- renamed all classes that started with PythonData* to be Python*.
- renamed PythonArray to PythonList. Cleaned up the code to use inheritance where
- Centralized the code that does ref counting in the PythonObject class to a single function.
- Made the "bool PythonObject::Reset(PyObject *)" function be virtual so each subclass can correctly check to ensure a PyObject is of the right type before adopting the object.
- Cleaned up all APIs and added new constructors for the Python* classes to they can all construct form:
- PyObject *
- const PythonObject &
- const lldb::ScriptInterpreterObjectSP &
Cleaned up code in ScriptInterpreterPython:
- Made calling python functions safer by templatizing the production of value formats. Python specifies the value formats based on built in C types (long, long long, etc), and code often uses typedefs for uint32_t, uint64_t, etc when passing arguments down to python. We will now always produce correct value formats as the templatized code will "do the right thing" all the time.
- Fixed issues with the ScriptInterpreterPython::Locker where entering the session and leaving the session had a bunch of issues that could cause the "lldb" module globals lldb.debugger, lldb.target, lldb.process, lldb.thread, and lldb.frame to not be initialized.

The Python data formatters use a per-process cache that was previously keying off the PID. Moving that to be based on this new notion of unique ID.
llvm-svn: 172633
Making MightHaveChildren() always return true regardless for our own data formatters
This is meant to optimize performance for common most-often-not-empty container classes
llvm-svn: 169759
Change the wording of NSNumber summary from absurd value to unexpected value when a tagged pointer shows up that does not match our knowledge of the internals
llvm-svn: 169751
Adding the new has_children (or MightHaveChildren() in C++) for the existing synthetic children providers
In a few cases, the new call is going to be much more efficient than the previous num_children > 0 check
When the optimization was marginal (e.g. std::vector<>), the choice was to use num_children in order to keep
implementation details in one function instead of duplicating code
Next step is to provide test cases
llvm-svn: 166506
Added a new setting that allows a python OS plug-in to detect threads and provide registers for memory threads. To enable this you set the setting:
settings set target.process.python-os-plugin-path lldb/examples/python/operating_system.py
Then run your program and see the extra threads.

This checkin adds the capability for LLDB to load plugins from external dylibs that can provide new commands
It exports an SBCommand class from the public API layer, and a new SBCommandPluginInterface
There is a minimal load-only plugin manager built into the debugger, which can be accessed via Debugger::LoadPlugin.
Plugins are loaded from two locations at debugger startup (LLDB.framework/Resources/PlugIns and ~/Library/Application Support/LLDB/PlugIns) and more can be (re)loaded via the "plugin load" command
For an example of how to make a plugin, refer to the fooplugin.cpp file in examples/plugins/commands
Caveats:
Currently, the new API objects and features are not exposed via Python.
The new commands can only be "parsed" (i.e. not raw) and get their command line via a char** parameter (we do not expose our internal Args object)
There is no unloading feature, which can potentially lead to leaks if you overwrite the commands by reloading the same or different plugins
There is no API exposed for option parsing, which means you may need to use getopt or roll-your-own
llvm-svn: 164865
Fixed an issue where not all text would always be seen when running any of the functions in heap.py in Xcode. Now we put the text directly into the command result object and skip STDIO since we have issues with STDIO right now in python scripts.
Also fixed an issue with the "--stack-history" option where MallocStackLoggingNoCompact was assumed to have to be enabled... It doesn't, just MallocStackLogging.

Make breakpoint setting by file and line much more efficient by only looking for inlined breakpoint locations if we are setting a breakpoint in anything but a source implementation file. Implementing this complex for a many reasons. Turns out that parsing compile units lazily had some issues with respect to how we need to do things with DWARF in .o files. So the fixes in the checkin for this makes these changes:
- Add a new setting called "target.inline-breakpoint-strategy" which can be set to "never", "always", or "headers". "never" will never try and set any inlined breakpoints (fastest). "always" always looks for inlined breakpoint locations (slowest, but most accurate). "headers", which is the default setting, will only look for inlined breakpoint locations if the breakpoint is set in what are consudered to be header files, which is realy defined as "not in an implementation source file".
- modify the breakpoint setting by file and line to check the current "target.inline-breakpoint-strategy" setting and act accordingly
- Modify compile units to be able to get their language and other info lazily. This allows us to create compile units from the debug map and not have to fill all of the details in, and then lazily discover this information as we go on debuggging. This is needed to avoid parsing all .o files when setting breakpoints in implementation only files (no inlines). Otherwise we would need to parse the .o file, the object file (mach-o in our case) and the symbol file (DWARF in the object file) just to see what the compile unit was.
- modify the "SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap" to subclass lldb_private::Module so that the virtual "GetObjectFile()" and "GetSymbolVendor()" functions can be intercepted when the .o file contenst are later lazilly needed. Prior to this fix, when we first instantiated the "SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap" class, we would also make modules, object files and symbol files for every .o file in the debug map because we needed to fix up the sections in the .o files with information that is in the executable debug map. Now we lazily do this in the DebugMapModule::GetObjectFile()
Cleaned up header includes a bit as well.

Added code the initialize the register context in the OperatingSystemPython plug-in with the new PythonData classes, and added a test OperatingSystemPython module in lldb/examples/python/operating_system.py that we can use for testing.

into individually named log destinations. In the simple usage-lldb-loggings example, we ran two cases which resulted
in two lldb_log files.
llvm-svn: 162378
(lldb) script import lldb.macosx.crashlog
(lldb) crashlog -i /tmp/*.crash
% symbolicate --crashed-only
This will symbolicate all of the crash logs only for the crashed thread.
Also print out the crash log index number in the output of the interactive "image" command:
(lldb) script import lldb.macosx.crashlog
(lldb) crashlog -i /tmp/*.crash
% image LLDB.framework
...
This then allows you to symbolicate a crash log by index accurately when you looked for an image of a specific version
llvm-svn: 160316
Also made the symbolication of the crash logs more efficient when using the "--crashed-only" ("-c") option where only the crashed thread is symbolicated. We now only download the images for the frames in the crashed thread.
llvm-svn: 160160
Modified the heap.py to be able to correctly indentify the exact ivar for the "ptr_refs" command no matter how deep the ivar is in a class hierarchy. Also fixed the ability for the heap command to symbolicate the stack backtrace when MallocStackLogging is set in the environment and the "--stack" option was specified.
llvm-svn: 159883
Modified the crashlog darwin module to always create a uuid.UUID object when making the symbolication.Image objects. Also modified it to handle some more types of crash log files and improved the register reading for thread registers of crashed threads.
