Currently, LLDB prints out a rather unhelpful error message when passed
a file that it doesn't recognize as an executable.
> error: '/path/to/file' doesn't contain any 'host' platform
> architectures: arm64, armv7, armv7f, armv7k, armv7s, armv7m, armv7em,
> armv6m, armv6, armv5, armv4, arm, thumbv7, thumbv7k, thumbv7s,
> thumbv7f, thumbv7m, thumbv7em, thumbv6m, thumbv6, thumbv5, thumbv4t,
> thumb, x86_64, x86_64, arm64, arm64e
I did a quick search internally and found at least 24 instances of users
being confused by this. This patch improves the error message when it
doesn't recognize the file as an executable, but keeps the existing
error message otherwise, i.e. when it's an object file we understand,
but the current platform doesn't support.
llvm::object::createBinary returns an Expected<>, which requires
not only checking the object for success, but also requires consuming
the Error, if one was set.
Use LLDB_LOG_ERROR for this case, and change an existing similar log
statement to use it as well, to make sure the Error is consumed even
if the log channel is disabled.
