Reland "[lldb][RPC] Upstream lldb-rpc-gen tool" (#146969)" Attempt 2 (#148996) Second attempt at relanding the lldb-rpc-gen tool. This should fix 2 issues: - An assert that was hitting when building on Linux. The assert would hit in the server source emitter, specifically when attemping to determine the storage size for a return type is that is a pointer, but isn't a const char *, const char ** or void pointer. The assert would hit when attempting to generate SBAttachInfo::GetProcessPluginName, which returns a const char * (meaning it shouldn't have been in the code block for the assert at all). The reason that it was hitting the assert when generating this function is that lldb_rpc_gen::TypeIsConstCharPtr was returning false for this function even though it did return a const char *. This was happening because when checking the return type for a const char *, TypeIsConstCharPtr would only check that the underlying type was a signed char. This failed on Linux (but was fine on Darwin), as the underlying type also needs to be checked for being an unsigned char. - Cross compiling support The build for lldb-rpc-gen had no support for cross compiling and as such, the sources generated for lldb-rpc-gen would get compiled too early in phase 2 when cross compiling, before the Clang toolchain was built and this led to an error when trying to include stdlib files. This reland splits this build into 2 by building the tool first and then compiling the sources in the second stage of the cross-compiled build. Original PR Description: This commit upstreams the lldb-rpc-gen tool, a ClangTool that generates the LLDB RPC client and server interfaces. This tool, as well as LLDB RPC itself is built by default. If it needs to be disabled, put -DLLDB_BUILD_LLDBRPC=OFF in your CMake invocation. https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-upstreaming-lldb-rpc/85804 Original PR Link: github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/138031
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.
