The Watchpoint and Breakpoint objects try to track the hardware index
that was used for them, if they are hardware wp/bp's. The majority of
our debugging goes over the gdb remote serial protocol, and when we set
the watchpoint/breakpoint, there is no (standard) way for the remote
stub to communicate to lldb which hardware index was used. We have an
lldb-extension packet to query the total number of watchpoint registers.
When a watchpoint is hit, there is an lldb extension to the stop reply
packet (documented in lldb-gdb-remote.txt) to describe the watchpoint
including its actual hardware index,
<addr within wp range> <wp hw index> <actual accessed address>
(the third field is specifically needed for MIPS). At this point, if the
stub reported these three fields (the stub is only required to provide
the first), we can know the actual hardware index for this watchpoint.
Breakpoints are worse; there's never any way for us to be notified about
which hardware index was used. Breakpoints got this as a side effect of
inherting from StoppointSite with Watchpoints.
We expose the watchpoint hardware index through "watchpoint list -v" and
through SBWatchpoint::GetHardwareIndex.
With my large watchpoint support, there is no *single* hardware index
that may be used for a watchpoint, it may need multiple resources. Also
I don't see what a user is supposed to do with this information, or an
IDE. Knowing the total number of watchpoint registers on the target, and
knowing how many Watchpoint Resources are currently in use, is helpful.
Knowing how many Watchpoint Resources
a single user-specified watchpoint needed to be implemented is useful.
But knowing which registers were used is an implementation detail and
not available until we hit the watchpoint when using gdb remote serial
protocol.
So given all that, I'm removing watchpoint hardware index numbers. I'm
changing the SB API to always return -1.
This reverts commit a7b78cac9a77e3ef6bbbd8ab1a559891dc693401.
With updates to the tests.
TestWatchTaggedAddress.py: Updated the expected watchpoint types,
though I'm not sure there should be a differnt default for the two
ways of setting them, that needs to be confirmed.
TestStepOverWatchpoint.py: Skipped this everywhere because I think
what used to happen is you couldn't put 2 watchpoints on the same
address (after alignment). I guess that this is now allowed because
modify watchpoints aren't accounted for, but likely should be.
Needs investigating.
This reverts commit 933ad5c897ee366759a54869b35b2d7285a92137.
This caused 1 test failure and an unexpected pass on AArch64 Linux:

Wasn't reported because the bot was already red at the time.
Watchpoints in lldb can be either 'read', 'write', or 'read/write'. This
is exposing the actual behavior of hardware watchpoints. gdb has a
different behavior: a "write" type watchpoint only stops when the
watched memory region *changes*.
A user is using a watchpoint for one of three reasons:
1. Want to find what is changing/corrupting this memory.
2. Want to find what is writing to this memory.
3. Want to find what is reading from this memory.
I believe (1) is the most common use case for watchpoints, and it
currently can't be done in lldb -- the user needs to continue every time
the same value is written to the watched-memory manually. I think gdb's
behavior is the correct one. There are some use cases where a developer
wants to find every function that writes/reads to/from a memory region,
regardless of value, I want to still allow that functionality.
This is also a bit of groundwork for my large watchpoint support
proposal
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-large-watchpoint-support-in-lldb/72116
where I will be adding support for AArch64 MASK watchpoints which watch
power-of-2 memory regions. A user might ask to watch 24 bytes, and a
MASK watchpoint stub can do this with a 32-byte MASK watchpoint if it is
properly aligned. And we need to ignore writes to the final 8 bytes of
that watched region, and not show those hits to the user.
This patch adds a new 'modify' watchpoint type and it is the default.
Re-landing this patch after addressing testsuite failures found in CI on
Linux, Intel machines, and windows.

SWIG 4 was released in 2019 and has been the de-facto standard for a
while now. All bots are running SWIG 4.0 or later.
This was motivated by #64279 which discovered that 662548c broke the
LLDB build with SWIG 3 on Windows.

This is an ongoing series of commits that are reformatting our Python
code. Reformatting is done with `black` (23.1.0).
If you end up having problems merging this commit because you have made
changes to a python file, the best way to handle that is to run `git
checkout --ours <yourfile>` and then reformat it with black.

Eliminate boilerplate of having each test manually assign to `mydir` by calling

Right now if the LLDB is compiled under the windows with static vcruntime library, the -o and -k commands will not work.
The problem is that the LLDB create FILE* in lldb.exe and pass it to liblldb.dll which is an object from CRT.
Since the CRT is statically linked each of these module has its own copy of the CRT with it's own global state and the LLDB should not share CRT objects between them.
In this change I moved the logic of creating FILE* out of commands stream from Driver class to SBDebugger.
To do this I added new method: SBError SBDebugger::SetInputStream(SBStream &stream)
Command to build the LLDB:
cmake -G Ninja -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="clang;lldb;libcxx" -DLLVM_USE_CRT_RELEASE="MT" -DLLVM_USE_CRT_MINSIZEREL="MT" -DLLVM_USE_CRT_RELWITHDEBINFO="MT" -DP
YTHON_HOME:FILEPATH=C:/Python38 -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER:STRING=cl.exe -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:STRING=cl.exe ../llvm
Command which will fail:
lldb.exe -o help

There is a .categories file in the python_api directory that makes all nested tests
belong to the category "pyapi". The decorator is unnecessary for these tests.
Summary: Moves lldbsuite tests to lldb/test/API.
This is a largely mechanical change, moved with the following steps:
```
rm lldb/test/API/testcases
mkdir -p lldb/test/API/{test_runner/test,tools/lldb-{server,vscode}}
mv lldb/packages/Python/lldbsuite/test/test_runner/test lldb/test/API/test_runner
for d in $(find lldb/packages/Python/lldbsuite/test/* -maxdepth 0 -type d | egrep -v "make|plugins|test_runner|tools"); do mv $d lldb/test/API; done
for d in $(find lldb/packages/Python/lldbsuite/test/tools/lldb-vscode -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 | grep -v ".py"); do mv $d lldb/test/API/tools/lldb-vscode; done
for d in $(find lldb/packages/Python/lldbsuite/test/tools/lldb-server -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 | egrep -v "gdbremote_testcase.py|lldbgdbserverutils.py|socket_packet_pump.py"); do mv $d lldb/test/API/tools/lldb-server; done
```
lldb/packages/Python/lldbsuite/__init__.py and lldb/test/API/lit.cfg.py were also updated with the new directory structure.
