         "  - Static text can be any sequence of non-special characters, i.e. "
         "anything but '{', '}', '$', or '\\'.\n"
         "  - Variables are sequences of characters beginning with ${, ending "
         "with } and that contain symbols in the format described below.\n"
         "  - Scopes are any sequence of text between { and }. Anything "
         "included in a scope will only appear in the output summary if there "
         "were no errors.\n"
         "  - Control sequences are the usual C/C++ '\\a', '\\n', ..., plus "
         "'\\$', '\\{' and '\\}'.\n"
         "A summary string works by copying static text verbatim, turning "
         "control sequences into their character counterpart, expanding "
         "variables and trying to expand scopes.\n"
         "A variable is expanded by giving it a value other than its textual "
         "representation, and the way this is done depends on what comes after "
         "the ${ marker.\n"
         "The most common sequence if ${var followed by an expression path, "
         "which is the text one would type to access a member of an aggregate "
         "types, given a variable of that type"
         " (e.g. if type T has a member named x, which has a member named y, "
         "and if t is of type T, the expression path would be .x.y and the way "
         "to fit that into a summary string would be"
         " ${var.x.y}). You can also use ${*var followed by an expression path "
         "and in that case the object referred by the path will be "
         "dereferenced before being displayed."
         " If the object is not a pointer, doing so will cause an error. For "
         "additional details on expression paths, you can type 'help "
         "expr-path'. \n"
         "By default, summary strings attempt to display the summary for any "
         "variable they reference, and if that fails the value. If neither can "
         "be shown, nothing is displayed."
         "In a summary string, you can also use an array index [n], or a "
         "slice-like range [n-m]. This can have two different meanings "
         "depending on what kind of object the expression"
         " path refers to:\n"
         "  - if it is a scalar type (any basic type like int, float, ...) the "
         "expression is a bitfield, i.e. the bits indicated by the indexing "
         "operator are extracted out of the number"
         " and displayed as an individual variable\n"
         "  - if it is an array or pointer the array items indicated by the "
         "indexing operator are shown as the result of the variable. if the "
         "expression is an array, real array items are"
         " printed; if it is a pointer, the pointer-as-array syntax is used to "
         "obtain the values (this means, the latter case can have no range "
         "checking)\n"
         "If you are trying to display an array for which the size is known, "
         "you can also use [] instead of giving an exact range. This has the "
         "effect of showing items 0 thru size - 1.\n"
         "Additionally, a variable can contain an (optional) format code, as "
         "in ${var.x.y%code}, where code can be any of the valid formats "
         "described in 'help format', or one of the"
         " special symbols only allowed as part of a variable:\n"
         "    %V: show the value of the object by default\n"
         "    %S: show the summary of the object by default\n"
         "    %@: show the runtime-provided object description (for "
         "Objective-C, it calls NSPrintForDebugger; for C/C++ it does "
         "nothing)\n"
         "    %L: show the location of the object (memory address or a "
         "register name)\n"
         "    %#: show the number of children of the object\n"
         "    %T: show the type of the object\n"
         "Another variable that you can use in summary strings is ${svar . "
         "This sequence works exactly like ${var, including the fact that "
         "${*svar is an allowed sequence, but uses"
         " the object's synthetic children provider instead of the actual "
         "objects. For instance, if you are using STL synthetic children "
         "providers, the following summary string would"
         " count the number of actual elements stored in an std::list:\n"
         "type summary add -s \"${svar%#}\" -x \"std::list<\"";
}

llvm::StringRef ExprPathHelpTextCallback() {
  return "An expression path is the sequence of symbols that is used in C/C++ "
         "to access a member variable of an aggregate object (class).\n"
         "For instance, given a class:\n"
         "  class foo {\n"
         "      int a;\n"

         "'.next->b' is the expression path, because it can be attached to any "
         "foo instance to achieve the effect.\n"
         "Expression paths in LLDB include dot (.) and arrow (->) operators, "
         "and most commands using expression paths have ways to also accept "
         "the star (*) operator.\n"
         "The meaning of these operators is the same as the usual one given to "
         "them by the C/C++ standards.\n"
         "LLDB also has support for indexing ([ ]) in expression paths, and "
         "extends the traditional meaning of the square brackets operator to "
         "allow bitfield extraction:\n"
         "for objects of native types (int, float, char, ...) saying '[n-m]' "
         "as an expression path (where n and m are any positive integers, e.g. "
         "[3-5]) causes LLDB to extract"
         " bits n thru m from the value of the variable. If n == m, [n] is "
         "also allowed as a shortcut syntax. For arrays and pointers, "
         "expression paths can only contain one index"
         " and the meaning of the operation is the same as the one defined by "
         "C/C++ (item extraction). Some commands extend bitfield-like syntax "
         "for arrays and pointers with the"
         " meaning of array slicing (taking elements n thru m inside the array "
