/// \class ClangFunctionCaller ClangFunctionCaller.h
/// "lldb/Expression/ClangFunctionCaller.h" Encapsulates a function that can
/// be called.
///
/// A given ClangFunctionCaller object can handle a single function signature.
/// Once constructed, it can set up any number of concurrent calls to
/// functions with that signature.
///
/// It performs the call by synthesizing a structure that contains the pointer
/// to the function and the arguments that should be passed to that function,
/// and producing a special-purpose JIT-compiled function that accepts a void*
/// pointing to this struct as its only argument and calls the function in the
/// struct with the written arguments.  This method lets Clang handle the
/// vagaries of function calling conventions.
///
/// The simplest use of the ClangFunctionCaller is to construct it with a
/// function representative of the signature you want to use, then call
/// ExecuteFunction(ExecutionContext &, Stream &, Value &).
///
/// If you need to reuse the arguments for several calls, you can call
/// InsertFunction() followed by WriteFunctionArguments(), which will return
/// the location of the args struct for the wrapper function in args_addr_ref.
///
/// If you need to call the function on the thread plan stack, you can also
/// call InsertFunction() followed by GetThreadPlanToCallFunction().
///
/// Any of the methods that take arg_addr_ptr or arg_addr_ref can be passed a
/// pointer set to LLDB_INVALID_ADDRESS and new structure will be allocated
/// and its address returned in that variable.
///
/// Any of the methods that take arg_addr_ptr can be passed NULL, and the
/// argument space will be managed for you.
