Prior to this patch, SBFrame/SBThread methods exhibit racy behavior if
called while the process is running, because they do not lock the
`Process::RetRunLock` mutex. If they did, they would fail, correctly
identifying that the process is not running.
Some methods _attempt_ to protect against this with the pattern:
```
ExecutionContext exe_ctx(m_opaque_sp.get(), lock); // this is a different lock
Process *process = exe_ctx.GetProcessPtr();
if (process) {
Process::StopLocker stop_locker;
if (stop_locker.TryLock(&process->GetRunLock()))
.... do work ...
```
However, this is also racy: the constructor of `ExecutionContext` will
access the frame list, which is something that can only be done once the
process is stopped.
With this patch:
1. The constructor of `ExecutionContext` now expects a `ProcessRunLock`
as an argument. It attempts to lock the run lock, and only fills in
information about frames and threads if the lock can be acquired.
Callers of the constructor are expected to check the lock.
2. All uses of ExecutionContext are adjusted to conform to the above.
3. The SBThread.cpp-defined helper function ResumeNewPlan now expects a
locked ProcessRunLock as _proof_ that the execution is stopped. It will
unlock the mutex prior to resuming the process.
This commit exposes many opportunities for early-returns, but these
would increase the diff of this patch and distract from the important
changes, so we opt not to do it here.
I am using VSCode with the official vscode-lldb extension. When I try to
list the breakpoints in the debug console get the message:
```
br list
can't evaluate expressions when the process is running.
```
I know that this is wrong and you need to use
```
`br list
(lldb) br list
No breakpoints currently set.
```
but the error message is misleading. I cleaned up the code and now the
error message is
```
br list
sbframe object is not valid.
```
which is still not perfect, but at least it's not misleading.
This is motivated by exposing some Swift language-specific flags through
the API, in the example here it is used to communicate the Objective-C
runtime version. This could also be a meaningful extension point to get
information about "embedded: languages, such as extracting the C++
version in an Objective-C++ frame or something along those lines.
This patch moves some of the logic implemented in the SBFrame APIs to
the lldb_private::StackFrame class so it can be re-used elsewhere.

ValueObject is part of lldbCore for historical reasons, but conceptually
it deserves to be its own library. This does introduce a (link-time) circular
dependency between lldbCore and lldbValueObject, which is unfortunate
but probably unavoidable because so many things in LLDB rely on
ValueObject. We already have cycles and these libraries are never built
as dylibs so while this doesn't improve the situation, it also doesn't
make things worse.
The header includes were updated with the following command:
```
find . -type f -exec sed -i.bak "s%include \"lldb/Core/ValueObject%include \"lldb/ValueObject/ValueObject%" '{}' \;
```
This patch removes all of the Set.* methods from Status.
This cleanup is part of a series of patches that make it harder use the
anti-pattern of keeping a long-lives Status object around and updating
it while dropping any errors it contains on the floor.
This patch is largely NFC, the more interesting next steps this enables
is to:
1. remove Status.Clear()
2. assert that Status::operator=() never overwrites an error
3. remove Status::operator=()
Note that step (2) will bring 90% of the benefits for users, and step
(3) will dramatically clean up the error handling code in various
places. In the end my goal is to convert all APIs that are of the form
` ResultTy DoFoo(Status& error)
`
to
` llvm::Expected<ResultTy> DoFoo()
`
How to read this patch?
The interesting changes are in Status.h and Status.cpp, all other
changes are mostly
` perl -pi -e 's/\.SetErrorString/ = Status::FromErrorString/g' $(git
grep -l SetErrorString lldb/source)
`
plus the occasional manual cleanup.
Compilers and language runtimes often use helper functions that are
fundamentally uninteresting when debugging anything but the
compiler/runtime itself. This patch introduces a user-extensible
mechanism that allows for these frames to be hidden from backtraces and
automatically skipped over when navigating the stack with `up` and
`down`.
This does not affect the numbering of frames, so `f <N>` will still
provide access to the hidden frames. The `bt` output will also print a
hint that frames have been hidden.
My primary motivation for this feature is to hide thunks in the Swift
programming language, but I'm including an example recognizer for
`std::function::operator()` that I wished for myself many times while
debugging LLDB.
rdar://126629381
Example output. (Yes, my proof-of-concept recognizer could hide even
more frames if we had a method that returned the function name without
the return type or I used something that isn't based off regex, but it's
really only meant as an example).

that separates out language and version. To avoid reinventing the wheel
and introducing subtle incompatibilities, this API uses the table of
languages and versiond defined by the upcoming DWARF 6 standard
(https://dwarfstd.org/languages-v6.html). While the DWARF 6 spec is not
finialized, the list of languages is broadly considered stable.
The primary motivation for this is to allow the Swift language plugin to
switch between language dialects between, e.g., Swift 5.9 and 6.0 with
out introducing a ton of new language codes. On the main branch this
change is considered NFC.
Depends on https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/89980
When this option gets enabled, descriptions of stack frames will be
generated using the format provided in the launch configuration instead
of simply calling `SBFrame::GetDisplayFunctionName`. This allows
lldb-dap to show an output similar to the one in the CLI.
StreamFile subclasses Stream (from lldbUtility) and is backed by a File
(from lldbHost). It does not depend on anything from lldbCore or any of its
sibling libraries, so I think it makes sense for this to live in
lldbHost instead.

This was just a thinko. The API StackFrame::GetVariableList takes a
bool for "get_file_globals" which if true will also find file statics
and file globals. But we only were passing that as true if the
ValueType was eValueTypeVariableGlobal, which meant that we never find
file statics. It's okay if we cast too wide a net when we do
GetVariableList as later on we check against the ValueType to filter
globals from statics.
There was a test that had a whole bunch of globals and tested
FindValue on all of them, but had no statics. So I just made one of
the globals a file static, which verifies the fix.

LLDB should guarantee that the strings returned by SBAPI methods

it wasn't obvious that it was already doing so.

This was allowing expression evaluation while the target was running,

Summary:
Many times when debugging variables might not be available even though a user can successfully set breakpoints and stops somewhere. Letting the user know will help users fix these kinds of issues and have a better debugging experience.
Examples of this include:
- enabling -gline-tables-only and being able to set file and line breakpoints and yet see no variables
- unable to open object file for DWARF in .o file debugging for darwin targets due to modification time mismatch or not being able to locate the N_OSO file.
This patch adds an new API to SBValueList:
lldb::SBError lldb::SBValueList::GetError();
object so that if you request a stack frame's variables using SBValueList SBFrame::GetVariables(...), you can get an error the describes why the variables were not available.
This patch adds the ability to get an error back when requesting variables from a lldb_private::StackFrame when calling GetVariableList.
It also now shows an error in response to "frame variable" if we have debug info and are unable to get varialbes due to an error as mentioned above:
(lldb) frame variable
error: "a.o" object from the "/tmp/libfoo.a" archive: either the .o file doesn't exist in the archive or the modification time (0x63111541) of the .o file doesn't match

Most of our code was including Log.h even though that is not where the
"lldb" log channel is defined (Log.h defines the generic logging
infrastructure). This worked because Log.h included Logging.h, even
though it should.
After the recent refactor, it became impossible the two files include
each other in this direction (the opposite inclusion is needed), so this
patch removes the workaround that was put in place and cleans up all
files to include the right thing. It also renames the file to LLDBLog to
better reflect its purpose.

Summary:
A *.cpp file header in LLDB (and in LLDB) should like this:
```
//===-- TestUtilities.cpp -------------------------------------------------===//
```
However in LLDB most of our source files have arbitrary changes to this format and
these changes are spreading through LLDB as folks usually just use the existing
source files as templates for their new files (most notably the unnecessary
editor language indicator `-*- C++ -*-` is spreading and in every review
someone is pointing out that this is wrong, resulting in people pointing out that this
is done in the same way in other files).
This patch removes most of these inconsistencies including the editor language indicators,
all the different missing/additional '-' characters, files that center the file name, missing
trailing `===//` (mostly caused by clang-format breaking the line).

Summary:
Our python version of the SB API has (the python equivalent of)
operator bool, but the C++ version doesn't.
This is because our python operators are added by modify-python-lldb.py,
which performs postprocessing on the swig-generated interface files.
In this patch, I add the "operator bool" to all SB classes which have an
IsValid method (which is the same logic used by modify-python-lldb.py).
This way, we make the two interfaces more constent, and it allows us to
rely on swig's automatic syntesis of python __nonzero__ methods instead
of doing manual fixups.

The current record macros already log the function being called. This
patch extends the macros to also log their input arguments and removes
explicit logging from the SB API.
This might degrade the amount of information in some cases (because of
smarter casts or efforts to log return values). However I think this is
outweighed by the increased coverage and consistency. Furthermore, using
the reproducer infrastructure, diagnosing bugs in the API layer should
become much easier compared to relying on log messages.

When running the test suite with the instrumentation macros, I noticed
two lldb-mi tests regressed. The issue was the copy constructor of
SBLineEntry. Without the macros the returned value would be elided, but
with the macros the copy constructor was called. The latter using ::IsValid
to determine whether the underlying opaque pointer should be set. This
is likely a remnant of when ::IsValid would only check the validity of the
smart pointer. In SBLineEntry however, it actually forwards to
LineEntry::IsValid().
So what happened here was that because of the macros the copy
constructor was called. The opaque pointer was valid but the LineEntry
didn't consider itself valid. So the copied-to object ended up default
initialized.
This patch replaces all checks for IsValid in copy (assignment)
constructors with checks for the opaque pointer itself.
