//! Patina Debugger
//!
//! This crate provides a debugger implementation that will install itself in the
//! exception handlers and communicate with debugger software using the GDB Remote
//! protocol. The debugger is intended to be used in the boot phase cores.
//!
//! This crate is under construction and may be missing functionality, documentation,
//! and testing.
//!
//! ## Getting Started
//!
//! For more details on using the debugger on a device, see the [readme](./Readme.md).
//!
//! ## Examples and Usage
//!
//! The debugger consists of the static access routines and the underlying debugger
//! struct. The top level platform code should initialize the static `PatinaDebugger`
//! struct with the appropriate serial transport and default configuration. The
//! platform has the option of setting static configuration, or enabling the
//! debugger in runtime code based on platform policy. During entry, the platform
//! should use the `set_debugger` routine to set the global instance of the debugger.
//!
//! Core code should use the static routines to interact with the debugger. If the
//! debugger is either not set or not enabled, the static routines will be no-ops.
//!
//! ```rust
//! extern crate patina;
//! # extern crate patina_internal_cpu;
//! # use patina_internal_cpu::interrupts::{Interrupts, InterruptManager};
//! # use patina::component::service::perf_timer::ArchTimerFunctionality;
//!
//! static DEBUGGER: patina_debugger::PatinaDebugger<patina::serial::uart::UartNull> =
//!     patina_debugger::PatinaDebugger::new(patina::serial::uart::UartNull{})
//!         .with_timeout(30); // Set initial break timeout to 30 seconds.
//!
//! fn entry() {
//!
//!     // Configure the debugger. This is used for dynamic configuration of the debugger.
//!     DEBUGGER.enable(true);
//!
//!     // Set the global debugger instance. This can only be done once.
//!     patina_debugger::set_debugger(&DEBUGGER);
//!
//!     // Setup a custom monitor command for this platform.
//!     patina_debugger::add_monitor_command("my_command", "Description of my_command", |args, writer| {
//!         // Parse the arguments from _args, which is a SplitWhitespace iterator.
//!         let _ = write!(writer, "Executed my_command with args: {:?}", args);
//!     });
//!
//!     // Call the core entry. The core can then initialize and access the debugger
//!     // through the static routines.
//!     start();
//! }
//!
//! fn start() {
//!     // Initialize the debugger. This will cause a debug break because of the
//!     // initial break configuration set above.
//!     patina_debugger::initialize(&mut Interrupts::default(), Some(&ExampleTimer));
//!
//!     // Notify the debugger of a module load.
//!     patina_debugger::notify_module_load("module.efi", 0x420000, 0x10000);
//!
//!     // Poll the debugger for any pending interrupts.
//!     patina_debugger::poll_debugger();
//!
//!     // Break into the debugger if the debugger is enabled and initialized.
//!     patina_debugger::breakpoint();
//!
//!     // Cause a debug break unconditionally. This will crash the system
//!     // if the debugger is not enabled or initialized. This should be used with extreme caution.
//!     patina_debugger::breakpoint_unchecked();
//! }
//!
//! # struct ExampleTimer;
//! # impl ArchTimerFunctionality for ExampleTimer {
//! #     fn cpu_count(&self) -> u64 {
//! #         0
//! #     }
//! #
//! #     fn perf_frequency(&self) -> u64 {
//! #         1
//! #     }
//! # }
//!
//! ```
//!
//! The debugger can be further configured by using various functions on the
//! initialization of the debugger struct. See the definition for [debugger::PatinaDebugger]
//! for more details. Notably, if the device is using the same transport for
//! logging and debugger, it is advisable to use `.without_log_init()`.
//!
//! ## Features
//!
//! `alloc` - Uses allocated buffers rather than static buffers for all memory. This provides additional functionality
//! but prevents debugging prior to allocations being available. This is intended for use by the core crate, and not
//! for platform use.
