This change is relevant for inferiors compiled with GCC. GCC does not
emit complete debug info for std::basic_string<...>, and consequently, Clang
(the LLDB compiler) does not generate correct mangled names for certain
functions.
This change removes the hard-coded alternate names in
ItaniumABILanguageRuntime.cpp.
Before the hard-coded names were put in ItaniumABILanguageRuntime.cpp, one could
not evaluate std::string methods (ex. std::string::length). After putting in
the hard-coded names, one could evaluate them. However, it did not still
enable one to call methods on, say for example, std::vector<string>.
This change makes that possible.
There is some amount of incompleteness in this change. Consider the
following example:
std::string hello("hello"), world("world");
std::map<std::string, std::string> m;
m[hello] = world;
One can still not evaluate the expression "m[hello]" in LLDB. Will
address this issue in another pass.
Why is this attached to the DWARF? I would want to attach this to the ClangExpressionDeclMap because we identify these alternate names during function name lookup, and we just need to remember them when resolving the references in IR. After that, they are no longer needed.
