[lldb] Standardize command option parsing error messages
I have been looking to simplify parsing logic and improve the interfaces so that they are both easier to use and harder to abuse. To be specific, I am referring to functions such as `OptionArgParser::ToBoolean`: I would like to go from its current interface to something more like `llvm::Error<bool> ToBoolean(llvm::StringRef option_arg)`. Through working on that, I encountered 2 inconveniences: 1. Option parsing code is not uniform. Every function writes a slightly different error message, so incorporating an error message from the `ToBoolean` implementation is going to be laborious as I figure out what exactly needs to change or stay the same. 2. Changing the interface of `ToBoolean` would require a global atomic change across all of the Command code. This would be quite frustrating to do because of the non-uniformity of our existing code. To address these frustrations, I think it would be easiest to first standardize the error reporting mechanism when parsing options in commands. I do so by introducing `CreateOptionParsingError` which will create an error message of the shape: Invalid valud ('${option_arg}') for -${short_value} ('${long_value}'): ${additional_context} Concretely, it would look something like this: (lldb) breakpoint set -n main -G yay error: Invalid value ('yay') for -G (auto-continue): Failed to parse as boolean After this, updating the interfaces for parsing the values themselves should become simpler. Because this can be adopted incrementally, this should be able to done over the course of time instead of all at once as a giant difficult-to-review change. I've changed exactly one function where this function would be used as an illustration of what I am proposing.
