//------------------------------------------------------------------
//  ThreadPlan:
//  This is the pure virtual base class for thread plans.
//
//  The thread plans provide the "atoms" of behavior that
//  all the logical process control, either directly from commands or through
//  more complex composite plans will rely on.
//
//  Plan Stack:
//
//  The thread maintaining a thread plan stack, and you program the actions of a particular thread
//  by pushing plans onto the plan stack.
//  There is always a "Current" plan, which is the head of the plan stack, though in some cases
//  a plan may defer to plans higher in the stack for some piece of information.
//
//  The plan stack is never empty, there is always a Base Plan which persists through the life
//  of the running process.
//
//
//  DEPRECATED: This ended up causing a real hassle, too many cases where the immediate plan
//  got stranded.  So the better way to do this is to post any plans you need to do right before
//  running in the PrepareToResume method.
//f
//  Immediate Plans:
//
//  One other complexity of the plan stack is that sometimes you need to do a piece of work immediately
//  on resume, regardless of what other plans have been pushed on the stack while the process has
//  been stopped.  The classic example is stepping over a breakpoint.  To that end the plan stack is
//  actually two stacks, an "immediate" plan stack and the normal plan stack.  A plan can indicate that it
//  should go on the immediate plan stack by returning "true" from the IsImmediate method.
//
//  END DEPRECATED...
//
//  Creating Plans:
//
//  The thread plan is generally created and added to the plan stack through the QueueThreadPlanFor... API
//  in lldb::Thread.  Those API's will return the plan that performs the named operation in a manner
//  appropriate for the current process.  The plans in lldb/source/Target are generic
//  implementations, but a Process plugin can override them.
//
//  ValidatePlan is then called.  If it returns false, the plan is unshipped.  This is a little
//  convenience which keeps us from having to error out of the constructor.
//
//  Then the plan is added to the plan stack.  When the plan is added to the plan stack its DidPush
//  will get called.  This is useful if a plan wants to push any additional plans as it is constructed,
//  since you need to make sure you're already on the stack before you push additional plans.
//
//  Completed Plans:
//
//  When the target process stops the plans are queried, among other things, for whether their job is done.
//  If it is they are moved from the plan stack to the Completed Plan stack in reverse order from their position
//  on the plan stack (since multiple plans may be done at a given stop.)  This is used primarily so that
//  the lldb::Thread::StopInfo for the thread can be set properly.  If one plan pushes another to achieve part of
//  its job, but it doesn't want that sub-plan to be the one that sets the StopInfo, then call SetPrivate on the
//  sub-plan when you create it, and the Thread will pass over that plan in reporting the reason for the stop.
//
//  When the plan is moved from the plan stack to the completed plan stack its DidPop method is called.  You should
//  undo anything that affects target state in this method so the target state is clear for new plans.
//  But be sure to leave whatever state might be needed to correctly fill the StopInfo.
//
//  Over the lifetime of the plan, various methods of the ThreadPlan are then called in response to changes of state in
//  the process we are debugging as follows:
//
//  Resuming:
//
//  When the target process is about to be restarted, the plan's WillResume method is called,
//  giving the plan a chance to prepare for the run.  If WillResume returns false, then the
//  process is not restarted.  Be sure to set an appropriate error value in the Process if
//  you have to do this.
//  Next the "StopOthers" method of all the threads are polled, and if one thread's Current plan
//  returns "true" then only that thread gets to run.  If more than one returns "true" the threads that want to run solo
//  get run one by one round robin fashion.  Otherwise all are let to run.
//  Finally, for each thread that is running, it run state is set to the return of RunState from the
//  thread's Current plan.
//
//  Responding to a stop:
//
//  When the target process stops, the plan is called in the following stages:
//
//  First the thread asks the Current Plan if it can handle this stop by calling PlanExplainsStop.
//  If the Current plan answers "true" then it is asked if the stop should percolate all the way to the
//  user by calling the ShouldStop method.  If the current plan doesn't explain the stop, then we query down
//  the plan stack for a plan that does explain the stop.  The plan that does explain the stop then needs to
//  figure out what to do about the plans below it in the stack.  If the stop is recoverable, then the plan that
//  understands it can just do what it needs to set up to restart, and then continue.
//  Otherwise, the plan that understood the stop should call DiscardPlanStack to clean up the stack below it.
//  In the normal case, this will just collapse the plan stack up to the point of the plan that understood
//  the stop reason.  However, if a plan wishes to stay on the stack after an event it didn't directly handle
//  it can designate itself a "Master" plan by responding true to IsMasterPlan, and then if it wants not to be
//  discarded, it can return true to OkayToDiscard, and it and all its dependent plans will be preserved when
//  we resume execution.
//
//  Actually Stopping:
//
//  If a plan says responds "true" to ShouldStop, then it is asked if it's job is complete by calling
//  MischiefManaged.  If that returns true, the thread is popped from the plan stack and added to the
//  Completed Plan Stack.  Then the next plan in the stack is asked if it ShouldStop, and  it returns "true",
//  it is asked if it is done, and if yes popped, and so on till we reach a plan that is not done.
//
//  Since you often know in the ShouldStop method whether your plan is complete, as a convenience you can call
//  SetPlanComplete and the ThreadPlan implementation of MischiefManaged will return "true", without your having
//  to redo the calculation when your sub-classes MischiefManaged is called.  If you call SetPlanComplete, you can
//  later use IsPlanComplete to determine whether the plan is complete.  This is only a convenience for sub-classes,
//  the logic in lldb::Thread will only call MischiefManaged.
//
//  One slightly tricky point is you have to be careful using SetPlanComplete in PlanExplainsStop because you
//  are not guaranteed that PlanExplainsStop for a plan will get called before ShouldStop gets called.  If your sub-plan
//  explained the stop and then popped itself, only your ShouldStop will get called.
//
//  If ShouldStop for any thread returns "true", then the WillStop method of the Current plan of
//  all threads will be called, the stop event is placed on the Process's public broadcaster, and
//  control returns to the upper layers of the debugger.
//
//  Automatically Resuming:
//
//  If ShouldStop for all threads returns "false", then the target process will resume.  This then cycles back to
//  Resuming above.
//
//  Reporting eStateStopped events when the target is restarted:
//
//  If a plan decides to auto-continue the target by returning "false" from ShouldStop, then it will be asked
//  whether the Stopped event should still be reported.  For instance, if you hit a breakpoint that is a User set
//  breakpoint, but the breakpoint callback said to continue the target process, you might still want to inform
//  the upper layers of lldb that the stop had happened.
//  The way this works is every thread gets to vote on whether to report the stop.  If all votes are eVoteNoOpinion,
//  then the thread list will decide what to do (at present it will pretty much always suppress these stopped events.)
//  If there is an eVoteYes, then the event will be reported regardless of the other votes.  If there is an eVoteNo
//  and no eVoteYes's, then the event won't be reported.
//
//  One other little detail here, sometimes a plan will push another plan onto the plan stack to do some part of
//  the first plan's job, and it would be convenient to tell that plan how it should respond to ShouldReportStop.
//  You can do that by setting the stop_vote in the child plan when you create it.
//
//  Suppressing the initial eStateRunning event:
//
//  The private process running thread will take care of ensuring that only one "eStateRunning" event will be
//  delivered to the public Process broadcaster per public eStateStopped event.  However there are some cases
//  where the public state of this process is eStateStopped, but a thread plan needs to restart the target, but
//  doesn't want the running event to be publically broadcast.  The obvious example of this is running functions
//  by hand as part of expression evaluation.  To suppress the running event return eVoteNo from ShouldReportStop,
//  to force a running event to be reported return eVoteYes, in general though you should return eVoteNoOpinion
//  which will allow the ThreadList to figure out the right thing to do.
//  The run_vote argument to the constructor works like stop_vote, and is a way for a plan to instruct a sub-plan\
//  on how to respond to ShouldReportStop.
