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.
This should definitely only be done if we can't find the name the original way. I'm always happy to pay extra runtime to fix an expression that would otherwise not work – but expressions that would work (the >90% case) shouldn't be paying for this.
