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