37 /* Values can be partially 'optimized out' and/or 'unavailable'.
38 These are distinct states and have different string representations
39 and related error strings.
41 'unavailable' has a specific meaning in this context. It means the
42 value exists in the program (at the machine level), but GDB has no
43 means to get to it. Such a value is normally printed as
44 <unavailable>. Examples of how to end up with an unavailable value
47 - We're inspecting a traceframe, and the memory or registers the
48 debug information says the value lives on haven't been collected.
50 - We're inspecting a core dump, the memory or registers the debug
51 information says the value lives aren't present in the dump
52 (that is, we have a partial/trimmed core dump, or we don't fully
53 understand/handle the core dump's format).
55 - We're doing live debugging, but the debug API has no means to
56 get at where the value lives in the machine, like e.g., ptrace
57 not having access to some register or register set.
59 - Any other similar scenario.
61 OTOH, "optimized out" is about what the compiler decided to generate
62 (or not generate). A chunk of a value that was optimized out does
63 not actually exist in the program. There's no way to get at it
64 short of compiling the program differently.
66 A register that has not been saved in a frame is likewise considered
67 optimized out, except not-saved registers have a different string
68 representation and related error strings. E.g., we'll print them as
69 <not-saved> instead of <optimized out>, as in:
73 (gdb) info registers rax
76 If the debug info describes a variable as being in such a register,
77 we'll still print the variable as <optimized out>. IOW, <not saved>
78 is reserved for inspecting registers at the machine level.
80 When comparing value contents, optimized out chunks, unavailable
81 chunks, and valid contents data are all considered different. See
82 value_contents_eq for more info.

174 additional members, then `type' is just a subobject of the real
175 thing, and the full object is probably larger than `type' would
178 If `type' is a dynamic class (i.e. one with a vtable), then GDB can
179 actually determine the object's run-time type by looking at the
180 run-time type information in the vtable. When this information is
181 available, we may elect to read in the entire object, for several
184 - When printing the value, the user would probably rather see the
185 full object, not just the limited portion apparent from the
188 - If `type' has virtual base classes, then even printing `type'
189 alone may require reaching outside the `type' portion of the
190 object to wherever the virtual base class has been stored.
192 When we store the entire object, `enclosing_type' is the run-time
193 type -- the complete object -- and `embedded_offset' is the offset
194 of `type' within that larger type, in bytes. The value_contents()
195 macro takes `embedded_offset' into account, so most GDB code
196 continues to see the `type' portion of the value, just as the
199 If `type' is a pointer to an object, then `enclosing_type' is a
200 pointer to the object's run-time type, and `pointed_to_offset' is
201 the offset in bytes from the full object to the pointed-to object
202 -- that is, the value `embedded_offset' would have if we followed
203 the pointer and fetched the complete object. (I don't really see
204 the point. Why not just determine the run-time type when you
205 indirect, and avoid the special case? The contents don't matter
206 until you indirect anyway.)
