This allows you to specify options and arguments and their definitions
and then have lldb handle the completions, help, etc. in the same way
that lldb does for its parsed commands internally.
This feature has some design considerations as well as the code, so I've
also set up an RFC, but I did this one first and will put the RFC
address in here once I've pushed it...
Note, the lldb "ParsedCommand interface" doesn't actually do all the
work that it should. For instance, saying the type of an option that has
a completer doesn't automatically hook up the completer, and ditto for
argument values. We also do almost no work to verify that the arguments
match their definition, or do auto-completion for them. This patch
allows you to make a command that's bug-for-bug compatible with built-in
ones, but I didn't want to stall it on getting the auto-command checking
to work all the way correctly.
As an overall design note, my primary goal here was to make an interface
that worked well in the script language. For that I needed, for
instance, to have a property-based way to get all the option values that
were specified. It was much more convenient to do that by making a
fairly bare-bones C interface to define the options and arguments of a
command, and set their values, and then wrap that in a Python class
(installed along with the other bits of the lldb python module) which
you can then derive from to make your new command. This approach will
also make it easier to experiment.
See the file test_commands.py in the test case for examples of how this
works.

This patch enforces that every scripted object implements all the
necessary abstract methods.
Every scripted affordance language interface can implement a list of
abstract methods name that checked when the object is instanciated.
Since some scripting affordances implementations can be derived from
template base classes, we can't check the object dictionary since it
will contain the definition of the base class, so instead, this checks
the scripting class dictionary.
Previously, for the various python interfaces, we used
`ABC.abstractmethod` decorators but this is too language specific and
doesn't work for scripting affordances that are not derived from
template base classes (i.e OperatingSystem, ScriptedThreadPlan, ...), so
this patch provides generic/language-agnostic checks for every scripted
affordance.

Instead of copying memory out of the PythonString (via a std::string)
and then using that to create a ConstString, it would make more sense to
just create the ConstString from the original StringRef in the first
place.
The comment and radar referenced PyThreadState_Get which is no longer
used there and instead has been replaced to a call to
PyThreadState_GetDict which has different semantics. Unlike
PyThreadState_Get, it can return NULL and it is okay to call this
function when no current thread state is available.
This patch adds the ability to pass native types from the script
interpreter to methods that use a {SB,}StructuredData argument.
To do so, this patch changes the `ScriptedObject` struture that holds
the pointer to the script object as well as the originating script
interpreter language. It also exposes that to the SB API via a new class
called `SBScriptObject`.
This structure allows the debugger to parse the script object and
convert it to a StructuredData object. If the type is not compatible
with the StructuredData types, we will store its pointer in a
`StructuredData::Generic` object.
This patch also adds some SWIG typemaps that checks the input argument to
ensure it's either an SBStructuredData object, in which case it just
passes it throught, or a python object that is NOT another SB type, to
provide some guardrails for the user.

None of these need to be in the ConstString StringPool. For the most

I did change IOHandlerDelegateMultiline slightly -- specifically, the
`m_end_line` member always has a `\n` at the end of it now. This was so
that `IOHandlerGetControlSequence` can always return a StringRef. This
did require a slight change to `IOHandlerIsInputComplete` where we must

Many SB classes have public constructors or methods involving types that
are private. Some are more obvious (e.g. containing lldb_private in the
name) than others (lldb::FooSP is usually std::shared_pointer<lldb_private::Foo>).
This commit explicitly does not address FileSP, so I'm leaving that one
alone for now.
Some of these were for other SB classes to use and should have been made
protected/private with a friend class entry added. Some of these were
public for some of the swig python helpers to use. I put all of those
functions into a class and made them static methods. The relevant SB
classes mark that class as a friend so they can access those
private/protected members.
I've also removed an outdated SBStructuredData test (can you guess which
constructor it was using?) and updated the other relevant tests.

These don't really need to be in ConstStrings. It's nice that comparing

This patch improves breakpoint management when doing interactive
scripted process debugging.
In other to know which process set a breakpoint, we need to do some book
keeping on the multiplexer scripted process. When initializing the
multiplexer, we will first copy breakpoints that are already set on the
driving target.
Everytime we launch or resume, we should copy breakpoints from the
multiplexer to the driving process.
When creating a breakpoint from a child process, it needs to be set both
on the multiplexer and on the driving process. We also tag the created
breakpoint with the name and pid of the originator process.
This patch also implements all the requirement to achieve proper
breakpoint management. That involves:
- Adding python interator for breakpoints and watchpoints in SBTarget
- Add a new `ScriptedProcess.create_breakpoint` python method

In order to run a {break,watch}point command, lldb can resolve to the
script interpreter to run an arbitrary piece of code or call into a
user-provided function. To do so, we will generate a wrapping function,
where we first copy lldb's internal dictionary keys into the
interpreter's global dictionary, copied inline the user code before
resetting the global dictionary to its previous state.
However, {break,watch}point commands can optionally return a value that
would tell lldb whether we should stop or not. This feature was
only implemented for breakpoint commands and since we inlined the user
code directly into the wrapping function, introducing an early return,
that caused lldb to let the interpreter global dictionary tinted with the
internal dictionary keys.
This patch fixes that issue while also adding the stopping behaviour to
watchpoint commands.
To do so, this patch refactors the {break,watch}point command creation
method, to let the lldb wrapper function generator know if the user code is
a function call or a arbitrary expression.
Then the wrapper generator, if the user input was a function call, the
wrapper function will call the user function and save the return value into
a variable. If the user input was an arbitrary expression, the wrapper will
inline it into a nested function, call the nested function and save the
return value into the same variable. After resetting the interpreter global
dictionary to its previous state, the generated wrapper function will return
the varible containing the return value.

The Python script interpreter imports `pydoc` during initialization, but this can be
slow in some cases, and doesn't seem to be necessary any more.
This can be slow because pydoc may execute shell commands (for example `xcrun` on
macOS). The shell commands may have variable performance, depending on their caches and
search space.
The 2012 bug report for the original commit (f71a8399997bfdc1ddeeb30c6a8897554a11c382)
says the following:
> "script help" in lldb pipes the help documentation through less(1) but there's some
> problem with the key handling and often the keys you'd use to move in less (space to
> move down a page, 'q' to quit) are not received by less (they're going to lldb
> instead)
This was resolved at the time by overriding `pydoc`'s pager to be the `plainpager`
function.
I have manually tested `script help(lldb.SBDebugger)` and found no issues with the
pager, including using "space" for paging, "/" for searching, and "q" for quitting.
The presumption is that lldb and/or Python have improved I/O handling that eliminates
the original problem.
The original bug report gave an ~/.lldbinit workaround:
```
script import pydoc; pydoc.pager = pydoc.plainpager
```
Note that calling Python's `help()` will import `pydoc`, but this will only happen for
users who use `help()` from the `script` command.

This patch should address a bug when a user have multiple scripted
processes in the same debugging session.
In order for the scripted process plugin to be able to call into the
scripted object instance methods to fetch the necessary data to
reconstruct its state, the scripted process plugin calls into a
scripted process interface, that has a reference to the created script
object instance.
However, prior to this patch, we only had a single instance of the
scripted process interface, living the script interpreter. So every time
a new scripted process plugin was created, it would overwrite the script
object instance that was held by the single scripted process interface
in the script interpreter.
That would cause all the method calls made to the scripted process
interface to be dispatched by the last instanciated script object
instance, which is wrong.
In order to prevent that, this patch moves the scripted process
interface reference to be help by the scripted process plugin itself.
