valobj.AddressOf() returns None when an address is expected in a SyntheticChildrenProvider
Patch from Enrico Granata:
The problem was that the frozen object created by the expression parser was a copy of the contents of the StgClosure, rather than a pointer to it. Thus, the expression parser was correctly computing the result of the arithmetic&cast operation along with its address, but only saving it in the live object. This meant that the frozen copy acted as an address-less variable, hence the problem.
The fix attached to this email lets the expression parser store the "live address" in the frozen copy of the address when the object is built without a valid address of its own.
Doing so, along with delegating ValueObjectConstResult to calculate its own address when necessary, solves the issue. I have also added a new test case to check for regressions in this area, and checked that existing test cases pass correctly.

it to generate result variables that were not bound
to their underlying data. This allowed the SBValue
class to use the interpreter (if possible).
Also made sure that any result variables that point
to stack allocations in the stack frame of the
interpreted expressions do not get live data.

- introduced two new classes ValueObjectConstResultChild and ValueObjectConstResultImpl: the first one is a ValueObjectChild obtained from
a ValueObjectConstResult, the second is a common implementation backend for VOCR and VOCRCh of method calls meant to read through pointers stored
in frozen objects ; now such reads transparently move from host to target as required
- as a consequence of the above, removed code that made target-memory copies of expression results in several places throughout LLDB, and also
removed code that enabled to recognize an expression result VO as such
- introduced a new GetPointeeData() method in ValueObject that lets you read a given amount of objects of type T from a VO
representing a T* or T[], and doing dereferences transparently
in private layer it returns a DataExtractor ; in public layer it returns an instance of a newly created lldb::SBData
- as GetPointeeData() does the right thing for both frozen and non-frozen ValueObject's, reimplemented ReadPointedString() to use it
en lieu of doing the raw read itself
- introduced a new GetData() method in ValueObject that lets you get a copy of the data that backs the ValueObject (for pointers,
this returns the address without any previous dereferencing steps ; for arrays it actually reads the whole chunk of memory)
in public layer this returns an SBData, just like GetPointeeData()
- introduced a new CreateValueFromData() method in SBValue that lets you create a new SBValue from a chunk of data wrapped in an SBData
the limitation to remember for this kind of SBValue is that they have no address: extracting the address-of for these objects (with any
of GetAddress(), GetLoadAddress() and AddressOf()) will return invalid values
- added several tests to check that "p"-ing objects (STL classes, char* and char[]) will do the right thing
Solved a bug where global pointers to global variables were not dereferenced correctly for display
New target setting "max-string-summary-length" gives the maximum number of characters to show in a string when summarizing it, instead of the hardcoded 128
Solved a bug where the summary for char[] and char* would not be shown if the ValueObject's were dumped via the "p" command
Removed m_pointers_point_to_load_addrs from ValueObject. Introduced a new m_address_type_of_children, which each ValueObject can set to tell the address type
of any pointers and/or references it creates. In the current codebase, this is load address most of the time (the only notable exception being file
addresses that generate file address children UNLESS we have a live process)
Updated help text for summary-string
Fixed an issue in STL formatters where std::stlcontainer::iterator would match the container's synthetic children providers
Edited the syntax and help for some commands to have proper argument types

expression parser. You can use a persistent
type like this:
(lldb) expr struct $foo { int a; int b; };
(lldb) struct $foo i; i.a = 2; i.b = 3; i
($foo) $0 = {
(int) a = 2
(int) b = 3
}
typedefs work similarly.
This patch affects the following files:
test/expression_command/persistent_types/*
A test case for persistent types,
in particular structs and typedefs.
ClangForward.h
Added TypeDecl, needed to declare some
functions in ASTResultSynthesizer.h
ClangPersistentVariables.[h,cpp]
Added a list of persistent types to the
persistent variable store.
ASTResultSynthesizer.[h,cpp]
Made the AST result synthesizer iterate
across TypeDecls in the expression, and
record any persistent types found. Also
made a minor documentation fix.
ClangUserExpression.[h,cpp]
Extended the user expression class to
keep the state needed to report the
persistent variable store for the target
to the AST result synthesizers.
Also introduced a new error code for
expressions that executed normally but
did not return a result.
CommandObjectExpression.cpp
Improved output for expressions (like
declarations of new persistent types) that
don't return a result. This is no longer
treated as an error.
llvm-svn: 138383
the SBType implementation classes.
Fixed LLDB core and the test suite to not use deprecated SBValue APIs.
Added a few new APIs to SBValue:
int64_t
SBValue::GetValueAsSigned(int64_t fail_value=0);
uint64_t
SBValue::GetValueAsUnsigned(uint64_t fail_value=0)

is just wrong and resulted in the inferior's output getting mixed into the GDB remote communication's
log file. Change all test cases to not pass os.ctermid() and either use SBTarget.LaunchSimple() or
SBTarget.Launch() and pass None as stdin_path/stdout_path/srderr_path to use a pseudo terminal.

those lldb objects which implement the IsValid() method, let's change the rest of
the test suite to use the more compact truth value testing pattern (the Python way).

representing variables whose type must be inferred
from the way they are used. Functions without debug
information now return UnknownAnyTy and must be cast.
Variables with no debug information are not yet using
UnknownAnyTy; instead they are assumed to be void*.
Support for variables of unknown type is coming (and,
in fact, some relevant support functions are included
in this commit) but will take a bit of extra effort.
The testsuite has also been updated to reflect the new
requirement that the result of printf be cast, i.e.
expr (int) printf("Hello world!")

compile unit, which has an external reference to symbols defined in foo.m, the type query:
in this case, 'expression (NSArray*)array_token'
continues to work.
This test is to accompany http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?rev=131145&view=rev.

Example:
@python_api_test
def test_evaluate_expression_python(self):
"""Test SBFrame.EvaluateExpression() API for evaluating an expression."""
...
The opposite of Python APIs only test is an lldb command line test, which sends
commands to the lldb command interpreter. Add a '-a' option to the test driver
to skip Python API only tests.
Modify TestExprs.py to mark a test as @python_api_test and remove an @expectedFailure
decorator as the bug has been fixed.

Launch the process with ['X', 'Y', 'Z'] as the args to make argc == 4 and verify that's the case,
plus some other EvaluateExpression() calls.

# runCmd: command alias print_hi expression printf ("\n\tHi!")
# output:
self.runCmd('command alias print_hi expression printf ("\\n\\tHi!")')

self.runCmd('print_hi')
and modify existing test sequences to escape the escape character '\ to prevent it
from being interpreted by Python before passing on to the lldb command interpreter.
