[lldb][ObjC] Consult Objective-C runtime decl vendor when completing type (#164011) (Note, this upstreams code that has been deployed on Apple's Swift LLDB for many years at this point). When a `ValueObject` computes its "complete type" (`MaybeCalculateCompleteType`), it gives the language runtimes a chance to override the type known to it. The current implementation of `ObjCLanguageRuntime::GetRuntimeType`, however, didn't consult the `AppleObjCDeclVendor` to look for types. As demonstrated in the attached test, when we don't have debug-info for a base class type (most commonly happens when inheriting from system framework types) we would not be able to deduce ivars of that type. However, the runtime knows about the ivars, so we should be able to retrieve them. There's still a couple of caveats for future follow-up/investigation: 1. `frame var` isn't able to access such backing ivars explicitly (even if they do exist) 2. When compiling with `-gmodules`, LLDB gets confused about what is correct source of information for these decls is. rdar://162069497
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.
