    /* If a value represents a C++ object, then the `type' field gives
       the object's compile-time type.  If the object actually belongs
       to some class derived from `type', perhaps with other base
       classes and additional members, then `type' is just a subobject
       of the real thing, and the full object is probably larger than
       `type' would suggest.

       If `type' is a dynamic class (i.e. one with a vtable), then GDB
       can actually determine the object's run-time type by looking at
       the run-time type information in the vtable.  When this
       information is available, we may elect to read in the entire
       object, for several reasons:

         - When printing the value, the user would probably rather see
           the full object, not just the limited portion apparent from
           the compile-time type.

         - If `type' has virtual base classes, then even printing
           `type' alone may require reaching outside the `type'
           portion of the object to wherever the virtual base class
           has been stored.

       When we store the entire object, `enclosing_type' is the
       run-time type --- the complete object --- and `embedded_offset'
       is the offset of `type' within that larger type, in bytes.  The
       VALUE_CONTENTS macro takes `embedded_offset' into account, so
       most GDB code continues to see the `type' portion of the value,
       just as the inferior would.

       If `type' is a pointer to an object, then `enclosing_type' is a
       pointer to the object's run-time type, and `pointed_to_offset'
       is the offset in bytes from the full object to the pointed-to
       object --- that is, the value `embedded_offset' would have if
       we followed the pointer and fetched the complete object.  (I
       don't really see the point.  Why not just determine the
       run-time type when you indirect, and avoid the special case?
       The contents don't matter until you indirect anyway.)

       If we're not doing anything fancy, `enclosing_type' is equal to
       `type', and `embedded_offset' is zero, so everything works
       normally.  */

       watchpoints (see breakpoint.c) to decide whether a particular
       value can be watched by hardware watchpoints.  If the lazy flag
       is set for some member of a value chain, it is assumed that
       this member of the chain doesn't need to be watched as part of
       watching the value itself.  This is how GDB avoids watching the
       entire struct or array when the user wants to watch a single
       struct member or array element.  If you ever change the way
       lazy flag is set and reset, be sure to consider this use as
