Summary

LLDB on Windows should now be able to demangle Linux/Android symbols.

Also updated CxaDemangle.cpp to be compatible with MSVC.

Depends on D9949, D9954, D10048.

Unless we have a specific reason not to (which nobody has spoken up about yet), I would prefer for this to be a standalone .cpp file which compiles to an object file, instead of a .inc file. I can't think of any reason not to do this, but +greg and ed maste in case there is something about their platforms which would necessitate it being an inline file.

Is there a reason why we didn't need these defines before but we need them now?

In any case, llvm has LLVM_NOEXCEPT, LLVM_CONSTEXPR, and LLVM_ALIGNAS, which all just do the right thing depending on the platform. Seems like we should use those instead.

50–57

This function is going to get a "Not all control paths return a value" warning. Can you fix that?

I think it's for the same reason that we're putting everything here in an anonymous namespace. To prevent collision with a system defined cxa_demangle. I guess we could also solve that problem by putting everything under lldb_private.

Do you know the rebind, construct, and destroy are required for allocators in the STL standard, or it's just a MSVC quirk? If it's the former I think we should try to upstream it to libcxxabi, and avoid changing it here.

source/Core/Mangled.cpp
16–20

What do you mean by "before"? The builtin demangler wasn't enabled for MSVC. I'll try to upstream the LLVM_* change to libcxxabi, so we don't have to change them in our copy.

I mean I see
+#define noexcept
+#define constexpr
+#define snprintf _snprintf
+#define alignas(X) __declspec(align(X))

but I dont' see corresponding -'s from anywhere else in the diff. So it
looks like this is new code, not moved from somewhere else. Unless I'm
just missing something. But now that I think about it, it looks like it's
just because all this was previously compiled out on Windows, and now it's
being compiled on Windows.

Since we've inlined a copy of the code already anyway, personally I don't
see anything wrong with making small changes like this just to get it to
compile on all platforms. I mean I wouldn't think it wise to change some
of the actual logic of the demangling, but just adding decorators on
functions to get it to compile would be ok I would think? Others may
disagree though :)

Yeah, the the entire thing didn't compile on Windows before. Virgile Bello
tried to add these in r205769 but was reverted by emaste in r205776 since
it broke FreeBSD. I put these here because I think it's nicer to have
minimal changes to the cxa_demangler copy.

Well the thing is that in VS 2015 some of those features will start
working, like constexpr. It would be nice to have those C++ features start
working automatically once the LLVM macros are changed to reflect the new
compiler versions.

We should make a .cpp + .h file instead of a .inc file.

Sounds good to me. It wasn't just FreeBSD broken originally but probably anyone using clang (or any non-MSVC perhaps).
I think I was just the first to encounter the build failure.

I'm personally not a fan of the implicit bool cast (here and below); do we already use this approach elsewhere?
