[lldb] Document the behaviour of IsValid for SBError (#170862) This reverts commit d20d84fec5945fcc16aa6f63879e1458d4af9ea6. Fixes #169788, but in a different way. In which I changed an SBError use so that when the function succeeded, IsValid on the SBError would be true. This seemed to make sense but SBError acts differently to other SB classes in this respect. For something like SBMemoryRegionInfo, if IsValid() is false, you can't do anything with it. However for SBError, IsValid() true only means there's some underlying error object in there. If the SBError represents a success, there's no need to put anything in there. You can see this intent from a lot of its methods, many have handling for IsValid() false. This is not a bug but a misunderstanding of what IsValid means. Yes it does function the way I expected for most classes, but it does not for SBError and though that's not intuitive, it is consistent with how we describe IsValid in the documentation. So instead of changing that method's use of SBError I'm documenting this initially counterintuitive behaviour in the SBError header and on the website (https://lldb.llvm.org/resources/sbapi.html).
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.

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