[lldb] Retcon SBValue::GetChildAtIndex(synthetic=true) (#140065)

The motivation here is being (un)able to treat pointer values as an
array consistently. This works for pointers to simple/scalar values, but
for aggregates, we get a very surprising result:
- GetChildAtIndex(x, ??, true) returns the `x` child of the zeroth array
member (the one you get by dereferencing the pointer/array) for all `x`
which are smaller than the number of children of that value.
- for other values of `x`, we get `v[x]`, where `v` is treated like a
(C) pointer

This patch reimagines this interface so that the value of `true` always
treats (pointer and array) values as pointers. For `false`, we always
dereference pointers, while in the case of arrays, we only return the
values as far as the array bounds will allow.

This has the potential to break existing code, but I have a suspicion
that code was already broken to begin with, which is why I think this
would be better than introducing a new API and keeping the old (and
surprising) behavior. If our own test coverage is any indication,
breakage should be minimal.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

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.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.

For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.

Getting in touch

Join the LLVM Discourse forums, Discord chat, LLVM Office Hours or Regular sync-ups.

The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
