| 27 | /* GDB stores expressions in the form of a flattened tree (struct |
| 28 | expression), so we just walk that tree and generate agent bytecodes |
| 29 | as we go along. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | GDB's normal evaluation uses struct value, which contains the |
| 32 | expression's value as well as its address or the register it came |
| 33 | from. The `+' operator uses the value, whereas the unary `&' |
| 34 | operator will use the address portion. The `=' operator will use |
| 35 | the address or register number of its left hand side. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | The issues are different when generating agent bytecode. Given a |
| 38 | variable reference expression, we should not necessarily generate |
| 39 | code to fetch its value, because the next operator may be `=' or |
| 40 | unary `&'. Instead, when we recurse on a subexpression, we |
| 41 | indicate whether we want that expression to produce an lvalue or an |
| 42 | rvalue. If we requested an lvalue, then the recursive call tells |
| 43 | us whether it generated code to compute an address on the stack, or |
| 44 | whether the lvalue lives in a register. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | The `axs' prefix here means `agent expression, static', because |
| 47 | this is all static analysis of the expression, i.e. analysis which |
| 48 | doesn't depend on the contents of memory and registers. */ |
