[lldb] Add filter option to AST dump command (#142164) Depends on https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/142163 This patch makes the `-ast-dump-filter` Clang option available to the `target modules dump ast` command. This allows us to selectively dump parts of the AST by name. The AST can quickly grow way too large to skim on the console. This will aid in debugging AST related issues. Example: ``` (lldb) target modules dump ast --filter func Dumping clang ast for 48 modules. Dumping func: FunctionDecl 0xc4b785008 <<invalid sloc>> <invalid sloc> func 'void (int)' extern |-ParmVarDecl 0xc4b7853d8 <<invalid sloc>> <invalid sloc> x 'int' `-AsmLabelAttr 0xc4b785358 <<invalid sloc>> Implicit "_Z4funcIiEvT_" Dumping func<int>: FunctionDecl 0xc4b7850b8 <<invalid sloc>> <invalid sloc> func<int> 'void (int)' implicit_instantiation extern |-TemplateArgument type 'int' | `-BuiltinType 0xc4b85b110 'int' `-ParmVarDecl 0xc4b7853d8 <<invalid sloc>> <invalid sloc> x 'int' ``` The majority of this patch is adjust the `Dump` API. The main change in behaviour is in `TypeSystemClang::Dump`, where we now use the `ASTPrinter` for dumping the `TranslationUnitDecl`. This is where the `-ast-dump-filter` functionality lives in Clang.
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
