[lldb][Expression] Emit a 'Note' diagnostic that indicates the language used for expression evaluation (#161688) Depends on: * https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/162050 Since it's a 'Note' diagnostic it would only show up when expression evaluation actually failed. This helps with expression evaluation failure reports in mixed language environments where it's not quite clear what language the expression ran as. It may also reduce confusion around why the expression evaluator ran an expression in a language it wasn't asked to run (a softer alternative to what I attempted in https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/156648). Here are some example outputs: ``` # Without target (lldb) expr blah note: Falling back to default language. Ran expression as 'Objective C++'. # Stopped in target (lldb) expr blah note: Ran expression as 'C++14'. (lldb) expr -l objc -- blah note: Expression evaluation in pure Objective-C not supported. Ran expression as 'Objective C++'. (lldb) expr -l c -- blah note: Expression evaluation in pure C not supported. Ran expression as 'ISO C++'. (lldb) expr -l c++14 -- blah note: Ran expression as 'C++14' (lldb) expr -l c++20 -- blah note: Ran expression as 'C++20' (lldb) expr -l objective-c++ -- blah note: Ran expression as 'Objective C++' (lldb) expr -l D -- blah note: Expression evaluation in D not supported. Falling back to default language. Ran expression as 'Objective C++'. ``` I didn't put the diagnostic on the same line as the inline diagnostic for now because of implementation convenience, but if reviewers deem that a blocker I can take a stab at that again. Also, other language plugins (namely Swift), won't immediately benefit from this and will have to emit their own diagnistc. I played around with having a virtual API on `UserExpression` or `ExpressionParser` that will be called consistently, but by the time we're about to parse the expression we are already several frames deep into the plugin. Before (and at the beginning of) the generic `UserExpression::Parse` call we don't have enough information to notify which language we're going to parse in (at least for the C++ plugin). rdar://160297649 rdar://159669244
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.
