[lldb] Move and clean-up the Declaration class (NFC)
ClosedPublic

Authored by mib on Apr 29 2021, 11:18 AM.

Details

Summary

This patch moves the Declaration class from the Symbol library to the
Core library. This will allow to use it in a more generic fashion and
aims to lower the dependency cycles when it comes to the linking.

The patch also does some cleaning up by making column information
permanent and removing the LLDB_ENABLE_DECLARATION_COLUMNS directives.

IIRC they were #ifdef's out because of memory concerns. Did you have a chance to benchmark this quickly (e.g., trying to attach to a debug Clang and see how much it increases memory)

Otherwise this LGTM.

FWIW, we also need this for the SourceLocation in Clang Decls feature I was working on some time ago.

Let's also add an operator bool that just calls IsValid() under the hood.

Move this above the variables.

I ran a benchmark as you suggested, attaching to a debug clang build, checking lldb's memory before starting the process (650MB), setting a breakpoint to main then launching the process (~1GB), and after the process stops, I tried evaluating the following expression : (lldb) expr std::string("This is a string.", 4) (4.83GB) and the memory usage matched in both scenarios.

Is this actually used? I don't think it's worth adding that if it's not.

This is useless.

Thanks. I anyway realized we don't actually increase the memory consumption with that member as it just occupies what was previously tail padding (we actually still have padding left with this uint16_t member). I probably should have checked that before asking for benchmarks :)

LGTM, let's ship it.

I personally learned C++ by reading LLDB's comments such as "Destructor", "Constructor" and "member variables"
