64# Casting a pointer to a base class to a pointer to a derived class
65# should yield the entire derived class. Until August 2002, GDB got
66# the enclosing type on `(B *) a' wrong: while the value's static type
67# was `B *', as it should be, the enclosing type (which is supposed to
68# be the dynamic type) was `A *'. It's senseless to have a static
69# type derived from the dynamic type; it should be the other way
70# 'round. Dereferencing this oddly typed pointer yielded a value in
71# which only the base class's members were initialized, since GDB uses
72# the enclosing type to decide how many bytes to read. Members from
73# the derived class were garbage, from GDB's address space.
