This patch avoids allocating many copies of identical strings appearing in
debugging information. Without this patch, running dump_syms on Mozilla's
libxul.so (with 173MiB of debugging information) has a peak resident set of
around 450MiB. With this patch, the peak is around 365MiB.

At present, the Linux symbol dumper maps the ELF file into memory to
examine the debugging information it contains, but then also calls
google_breakpad::FileID::ElfFileIdentifier, which maps the ELF file into
memory again. Some of our object files are large; Mozilla's libxul.so is
1.1GiB. Trying to map such files twice can interfere with tools like
valgrind that map themselves into high addresses (in an attempt to stay out
of the way of ordinary programs).
The FileID class has another method, ElfFileIdentifierFromMappedFile, that
operates on an already-loaded image of the file; use that instead.

The subclasses of CallFrameInfo::Rule store the rule currently in
force for recovering a register or computing the canonical frame
address. Their sole responsibility is to accurately convey rules from
the parser, which creates them, to a CallFrameInfo::Handler member
function, which consumes them. So, the types of their data members
should match those of the corresponding arguments of the corresponding
Handler member function.
CallFrameInfo::OffsetRule and CallFrameInfo::ValOffsetRule use an
'int' to store the rule's offset value, but
CallFrameInfo::Handler::OffsetRule and ...::ValOffsetRule expect a
'long'. On ABIs where 'long' is larger than 'int', this can cause
values to be truncated or sign-extended unexpectedly.
This patch changes those members to 'long'.
Fortunately, offsets appearing in real DWARF call frame information
never even come close to the limits of a 32-bit int, so this bug is
unlikely to cause any practical problems.

This patch rewrites the Mac symbol dumper to use the same set of classes
the Linux dumper does for reading debugging information from various
sources, consolidating them into a single table, and writing that out as a
Breakpad symbol file.
In the process, it also adds support for dumping DWARF call frame
information and .eh_frame exception-handling information as Breakpad 'STACK
CFI' records. This allows the Breakpad processor to generate stack traces
from code compiled with -fomit-frame-pointer.
The patch also replaces the DumpSymbols Objective C++ class with
google_breakpad::DumpSymbols, a plain C++ class. The code still uses some
Objective C++ to use the Foundation facilities for dealing with file names
in a file-system-independent fashion, and for examining the contents of
.dSYM bundles.
Since the code has been entirely rewritten, I have changed the author
lines.

Instead of using bzero in main, use constructors to initialize the
Options structure.
Use C++ bool, not Objective-C BOOL.
Use a const NXArchInfo * to represent the architecture name, so that we can
use the NXGetLocalArchInfo, NXGetArchInfoFromName, etc. to handle things.
Delete the 'uuidStr' member; it is unused.
Leave Options::srcPath as an NSString, so that we can continue to use the

This patch adds files defining new classes in the google_breakpad::Mach_O
namespace for parsing fat binaries and Mach-O files. These are used in the
new dumper to handle STABS debugging information, DWARF call frame
information, and .eh_frame exception handling stack walking information.
These new classes are independent of endianness and word size, and
therefore can be used on binaries of all the relevant architectures: x86,
x86_64, ppc, and ARM.
The patch adds a complete set of unit tests for the new classes.

Created the exception_handler_test that test the generation of dump and the dumps themselves.
Moved all dump analysis code from minidump to its right class DumpAnalysis. The class is used by both minidump_test and exception_handler_test. The tests are way simpler that way (ie. no handling of HANDLE).
minidump_test now uses the minidump_generator class instead of using Win32. It works well and pass all tests.
exception_handler now passes both the exception and assertion infos to the client to generate the dump. If one is NULL it's going to be handled correctly.
crash_generation_client can now RequestDump with both exception and assertion info.
minidump_generator returns both the mini and full dump string pointers, and output both (or either) depending on which was generated.
All original interfaces and method signature are still there, but call the new functions if possible.

I had to remove the dependency from base (was using FilePath and ScopedHandle, replaced them by standard std::wstring and HANDLE). Also removed the logging and the main from the original files.
This will serve as a base for testing breakpad's dump generation. It is kept like this for easier tracking.

This patch helps the TestAssembler classes generate Mach-O object files for

This patch adds a new AppendCString overloading to TestAssembler::Section
for emitting null-terminated strings in fixed-length buffers, where the
string is truncated and the terminating null character omitted if the
string is too large for the buffer.
The patch includes unit tests for the new AppendCString overloading. It
also provides some for the existing overloading, which had been neglected.

Breakpad's Macintosh symbol dumper uses deprecated functions for
dealing with mixed-endianness code. This patch provides an overloaded
function, ByteSwap, that automatically chooses the OSSwap* functions
from <libkern/OSByteOrder.h> appropriate for its argument's
size.
This patch does *not* address warnings in src/common/mac/dump_syms.mm,
because that code is about to be replaced entirely; there's no reason to
bother reviewing a big, detailed patch against it.

It's possible to imagine an implementation of google_breakpad::Module in
which calling SetLoadAddress at different times as the Module is populated
would produce different output. For the Mac dumper, we'd like to depend on
its current behavior --- that the load address is subtracted off only when
writing the symbol file, and can be set at any time prior to that.
This patch makes that promise part of Module's contract, and adjusts the
test suite to verify that that promise is met.

This patch addresses two differences between Linux and Macintosh OS X STABS
data:
- StabsReader assumes that the STABS entries follow the conventions for
storing STABS data in object file sections (that is, .stabs and
.stabstr), rather than in the object files's linker symbol table. On Mac
OS X, STABS entries live in the Mach-O file's LC_SYMTAB load command,
along with all the other linker symbols; they are not grouped into units
by N_UNDF entries.
This patch adds a boolean argument to the StabsReader constructor
indicating whether the parser should treat N_UNDF entries as unit
boundaries; this argument should be true on Linux, and false on Mac. The
patch changes src/common/linux/dump_symbols.cc to pass this new argument.
- Mac OS X STABS place SLINE (line number) records immediately before the
FUN record for the function to which they belong, and the values of such
records are absolute, not relative to the function start.
This patch extends the parser to queue up such records and report them to
the handler when we do see the FUN record. The meaning of
StabsHandler::Line remains unchanged; existing handlers do not need to be
adjusted.
This patch also adds unit tests for the new parser behaviors.

An N_FUN stabs with no name is an explicit end-of-function marker, whose
value is the size of the function. This patch changes the stabs reader to

addresses. It also adds appropriate unit tests.

All the other classes which receive debugging data from some sort of parser
and use it to populate a Module have names ending in "ToModule":
DwarfCUToModule, DwarfCFIToModule. Also, DumpStabsHandler doesn't actually
dump anything.
This patch renames the DumpStabsHandler class to StabsToModule, which is
more consistent and descriptive.

StabsReader simply applies a reinterpret_cast to treat the stab entry data
as an array of 'struct nlist' structures, making the parser specific on the
host endianness, word size, and alignment rules. On Mac OS X, a single fat
binary file may contain object files of different ABIs, of which the user
chooses one at run time.
This patch changes the parser to read the data using the google_breakpad::
ByteCursor class, which can handle different endiannesses and word sizes.
The StabsReader constructor now takes arguments indicating the endianness
of the data and the size of each entry's value field. The patch changes
src/common/linux/dump_symbols.cc to pass the new argument.
This patch changes the StabsReader unit tests to use the google_breakpad::
TestAssembler classes to generate test data, rather than reading it from a
file. This makes it easy to generate test data in various endiannesses and
word sizes. It also adds tests for the new parser behaviors.
