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

147 the chain doesn't need to be watched as part of watching the
