an interface to a local or remote debugging platform. By default each host OS
that supports LLDB should be registering a "default" platform that will be
used unless a new platform is selected. Platforms are responsible for things
such as:
- getting process information by name or by processs ID
- finding platform files. This is useful for remote debugging where there is
an SDK with files that might already or need to be cached for debug access.
- getting a list of platform supported architectures in the exact order they
should be selected. This helps the native x86 platform on MacOSX select the
correct x86_64/i386 slice from universal binaries.
- Connect to remote platforms for remote debugging
- Resolving an executable including finding an executable inside platform
specific bundles (macosx uses .app bundles that contain files) and also
selecting the appropriate slice of universal files for a given platform.
So by default there is always a local platform, but remote platforms can be
connected to. I will soon be adding a new "platform" command that will support
the following commands:
(lldb) platform connect --name machine1 macosx connect://host:port
Connected to "machine1" platform.
(lldb) platform disconnect macosx
This allows LLDB to be well setup to do remote debugging and also once
connected process listing and finding for things like:
(lldb) process attach --name x<TAB>
The currently selected platform plug-in can now auto complete any available
processes that start with "x". The responsibilities for the platform plug-in
will soon grow and expand.

of Stephen Wilson's idea (thanks for the input Stephen!). What I ended up
doing was:
- Got rid of ArchSpec::CPU (which was a generic CPU enumeration that mimics
the contents of llvm::Triple::ArchType). We now rely upon the llvm::Triple
to give us the machine type from llvm::Triple::ArchType.
- There is a new ArchSpec::Core definition which further qualifies the CPU
core we are dealing with into a single enumeration. If you need support for
a new Core and want to debug it in LLDB, it must be added to this list. In
the future we can allow for dynamic core registration, but for now it is
hard coded.
- The ArchSpec can now be initialized with a llvm::Triple or with a C string
that represents the triple (it can just be an arch still like "i386").
- The ArchSpec can still initialize itself with a architecture type -- mach-o
with cpu type and subtype, or ELF with e_machine + e_flags -- and this will
then get translated into the internal llvm::Triple::ArchSpec + ArchSpec::Core.
The mach-o cpu type and subtype can be accessed using the getter functions:
uint32_t
ArchSpec::GetMachOCPUType () const;
uint32_t
ArchSpec::GetMachOCPUSubType () const;
But these functions are just converting out internal llvm::Triple::ArchSpec
+ ArchSpec::Core back into mach-o. Same goes for ELF.
All code has been updated to deal with the changes.
This should abstract us until later when the llvm::TargetSpec stuff gets
finalized and we can then adopt it.

So the issue here was that we have lldb_private::FileSpec that by default was
always resolving a path when using the:
FileSpec::FileSpec (const char *path);
and in the:
void FileSpec::SetFile(const char *pathname, bool resolve = true);
This isn't what we want in many many cases. One example is you have "/tmp" on
your file system which is really "/private/tmp". You compile code in that
directory and end up with debug info that mentions "/tmp/file.c". Then you
type:
(lldb) breakpoint set --file file.c --line 5
If your current working directory is "/tmp", then "file.c" would be turned
into "/private/tmp/file.c" which won't match anything in the debug info.
Also, it should have been just a FileSpec with no directory and a filename
of "file.c" which could (and should) potentially match any instances of "file.c"
in the debug info.
So I removed the constructor that just takes a path:
FileSpec::FileSpec (const char *path); // REMOVED
You must now use the other constructor that has a "bool resolve" parameter that you must always supply:
FileSpec::FileSpec (const char *path, bool resolve);
I also removed the default parameter to SetFile():
void FileSpec::SetFile(const char *pathname, bool resolve);
And fixed all of the code to use the right settings.

arguments are specified in a standardized way, will have a standardized name, and
have functioning help.
The next step is to start writing useful help for all the argument types.

accessed by the objects that own the settings. The previous approach wasn't
very usable and made for a lot of unnecessary code just to access variables
that were already owned by the objects.
While I fixed those things, I saw that CommandObject objects should really
have a reference to their command interpreter so they can access the terminal
with if they want to output usaage. Fixed up all CommandObjects to take
an interpreter and cleaned up the API to not need the interpreter to be
passed in.
Fixed the disassemble command to output the usage if no options are passed
down and arguments are passed (all disassebmle variants take options, there
are no "args only").

Arrange that this then gets properly set on attach, or when a "file" is set.
Add a completer for "process attach -n".
Caveats: there isn't currently a way to handle multiple processes with the same name. That
will have to wait on a way to pass annotations along with the completion strings.
llvm-svn: 110624
Add a way for the completers to say whether the completed argument should have a space inserted after is
or not.
Added the file name completer to the "file" command.

to the debugger from GUI windows. Previously there was one global debugger
instance that could be accessed that had its own command interpreter and
current state (current target/process/thread/frame). When a GUI debugger
was attached, if it opened more than one window that each had a console
window, there were issues where the last one to setup the global debugger
object won and got control of the debugger.
To avoid this we now create instances of the lldb_private::Debugger that each
has its own state:
- target list for targets the debugger instance owns
- current process/thread/frame
- its own command interpreter
- its own input, output and error file handles to avoid conflicts
- its own input reader stack
So now clients should call:
SBDebugger::Initialize(); // (static function)
SBDebugger debugger (SBDebugger::Create());
// Use which ever file handles you wish
debugger.SetErrorFileHandle (stderr, false);
debugger.SetOutputFileHandle (stdout, false);
debugger.SetInputFileHandle (stdin, true);
// main loop
SBDebugger::Terminate(); // (static function)
SBDebugger::Initialize() and SBDebugger::Terminate() are ref counted to
ensure nothing gets destroyed too early when multiple clients might be
attached.
Cleaned up the command interpreter and the CommandObject and all subclasses
to take more appropriate arguments.

Push this through all the breakpoint management code. Allow this to be set when the breakpoint is created.
Fix the Process classes so that a breakpoint hit that is not for a particular thread is not reported as a
breakpoint hit event for that thread.
Added a "breakpoint configure" command to allow you to reset any of the thread
specific options (or the ignore count.)
llvm-svn: 106078
Fixed the Disassemble arguments so you can't specify start address or name in multiple ways.
Fixed the command line input so you can specify the filename without "-f" even if you use other options.
