92 the object's compile-time type. If the object actually belongs
93 to some class derived from `type', perhaps with other base
94 classes and additional members, then `type' is just a subobject
95 of the real thing, and the full object is probably larger than
96 `type' would suggest.
97
98 If `type' is a dynamic class (i.e. one with a vtable), then GDB
99 can actually determine the object's run-time type by looking at
100 the run-time type information in the vtable. When this
101 information is available, we may elect to read in the entire
102 object, for several reasons:
103
104 - When printing the value, the user would probably rather see the
105 full object, not just the limited portion apparent from the
106 compile-time type.
107
108 - If `type' has virtual base classes, then even printing `type'
109 alone may require reaching outside the `type' portion of the
110 object to wherever the virtual base class has been stored.
111
112 When we store the entire object, `enclosing_type' is the run-time
113 type -- the complete object -- and `embedded_offset' is the
114 offset of `type' within that larger type, in bytes. The
115 VALUE_CONTENTS macro takes `embedded_offset' into account, so
116 most GDB code continues to see the `type' portion of the value,
117 just as the inferior would.
118
119 If `type' is a pointer to an object, then `enclosing_type' is a
120 pointer to the object's run-time type, and `pointed_to_offset' is
121 the offset in bytes from the full object to the pointed-to object
122 -- that is, the value `embedded_offset' would have if we
123 followed the pointer and fetched the complete object. (I don't
124 really see the point. Why not just determine the run-time type
125 when you indirect, and avoid the special case? The contents
126 don't matter until you indirect anyway.)
127
128 If we're not doing anything fancy, `enclosing_type' is equal to
129 `type', and `embedded_offset' is zero, so everything works
130 normally. */

154 watching the value itself. This is how GDB avoids watching the
