SWIG is smart enough to recognize that C++ operators == and != mean __eq__ and __ne__ in Python and do the appropriate translation
But it is not smart enough to recognize that mySBObject == None should return False instead of erroring out
The %pythoncode blocks are meant to provide those extra smarts (and they play some SWIG&Python magic to find the right function to call behind the scenes with no risk of typos :-)
Lastly, SBBreakpoint provides an == but never provided a != operator - common courtesy is to provide both

Introducing a negative cache for ObjCLanguageRuntime::LookupInCompleteClassCache()
This helps speed up the (common) case of us looking for classes that are hidden deep within Cocoa internals and repeatedly failing at finding type information for them.
In order for this to work, we need to clean this cache whenever debug information is added. A new symbols loaded event is added that is triggered with add-dsym (before modules loaded would be triggered for both adding modules and adding symbols).
Interested parties can register for this event. Internally, we make sure to clean the negative cache whenever symbols are added.
Lastly, ClassDescriptor::IsTagged() has been refactored to GetTaggedPointerInfo() that also (optionally) returns info and value bits. In this way, data formatters can share tagged pointer code instead of duplicating the required arithmetic.

It is replaced by a Print("str") call which is equivalent to Printf("%s","str")
- Providing file-like behavior for SBStream with appropriate extension write() and flush() calls, plus documenting that these are only meant and only exist for Python

"compile_units" returns an array of all compile units in a module as a list() of lldb.SBCompileUnit objects.
"compile_unit" returns a compile unit accessor object that allows indexed access, search by full or partial path, or by regex:
(lldb) script
comp_unit = lldb.target.module['TextEdit'].compile_unit['Document.m']
comp_unit = lldb.target.module['TextEdit'].compile_unit['/path/to/Document.m']
comp_unit = lldb.target.module['TextEdit'].compile_unit[0]
comp_unit = lldb.target.module['TextEdit'].compile_unit[1]
for comp_unit in lldb.target.module['TextEdit'].compile_unit[re.compile("\.m$")]
print comp_unit
This helps do quick searches and scripting while debugging.

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.

Adding FindFirstGlobalVariable to SBModule and SBTarget
These calls work like FindGlobalVariables but they only return the first match found and so they can return an SBValue instead of an SBValueList for added convenience of use
llvm-svn: 172636
Added a unique integer identifier to processes. Some systems, like JTAG or other simulators, might always assign the same process ID (pid) to the processes that are being debugged. In order for scripts and the APIs to uniquely identify the processes, there needs to be another ID. Now the SBProcess class has:
uint32_t SBProcess::GetUniqueID();
This integer ID will help to truly uniquely identify a process and help with appropriate caching that can be associated with a SBProcess object.

controlled by the --unwind-on-error flag, and --ignore-breakpoint which separately controls behavior when a called
function hits a breakpoint. For breakpoints, we don't unwind, we either stop, or ignore the breakpoint, which makes
more sense.
Also make both these behaviors globally settable through "settings set".
Also handle the case where a breakpoint command calls code that ends up re-hitting the breakpoint. We were recursing
and crashing. Now we just stop without calling the second command.

Added SBTarget::EvaluateExpression() so expressions can be evaluated without needing a process.
Also fixed many functions that deal with clang AST types to be able to properly handle the clang::Type::Elaborated types ("struct foo", "class bar").

Added a "step-in-target" flag to "thread step-in" so if you have something like:
Process 28464 stopped
* thread #1: tid = 0x1c03, function: main , stop reason = breakpoint 1.1
frame #0: 0x0000000100000e08 a.out`main at main.c:62
61
-> 62 int A6 = complex (a(4), b(5), c(6)); // Stop here to step targetting b and hitting breakpoint.
63
and you want to get into "complex" skipping a, b and c, you can do:
(lldb) step -t complex
Process 28464 stopped
* thread #1: tid = 0x1c03, function: complex , stop reason = step in
frame #0: 0x0000000100000d0d a.out`complex at main.c:44
41
42 int complex (int first, int second, int third)
43 {
-> 44 return first + second + third; // Step in targetting complex should stop here
45 }
46
47 int main (int argc, char const *argv[])

Add the ability to get a symbol or symbols by name and type from a SBModule, and also the ability to get all symbols by name and type from SBTarget objects.

Added a new API call to help efficiently determine if a SBValue could have children:
bool
SBValue::MightHaveChildren ();
This is inteneded to be used bui GUI programs that need to show if a SBValue needs a disclosure triangle when displaying a hierarchical type in a tree view without having to complete the type (by calling SBValue::GetNumChildren()) as completing the type is expensive.
llvm-svn: 166460
Given our implementation of ValueObjects we could have a scenario where a ValueObject has a dynamic type of Foo* at one point, and then its dynamic type changes to Bar*
If Bar* has synthetic children enabled, by the time we figure that out, our public API is already vending SBValues wrapping a DynamicVO, instead of a SyntheticVO and there was
no trivial way for us to change the SP inside an SBValue on the fly
This checkin reimplements SBValue in terms of a wrapper, ValueImpl, that allows this substitutions on-the-fly by overriding GetSP() to do The Right Thing (TM)
As an additional bonus, GetNonSyntheticValue() now works, and we can get rid of the ForceDisableSyntheticChildren idiom in ScriptInterpreterPython
Lastly, this checkin makes sure the synthetic VOs get the correct m_value and m_data from their parents (prevented summaries from working in some cases)

Then make the Thread a Broadcaster, and get it to broadcast when the selected frame is changed (but only from the Command Line) and when Thread::ReturnFromFrame
changes the stack.
Made the Driver use this notification to print the new thread status rather than doing it in the command.
Fixed a few places where people were setting their broadcaster class by hand rather than using the static broadcaster class call.

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
