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

155 The lval field may also be lval_register.
157 WARNING: This field is used by the code which handles watchpoints
158 (see breakpoint.c) to decide whether a particular value can be
159 watched by hardware watchpoints. If the lazy flag is set for
160 some member of a value chain, it is assumed that this member of
161 the chain doesn't need to be watched as part of watching the
162 value itself. This is how GDB avoids watching the entire struct
163 or array when the user wants to watch a single struct member or
164 array element. If you ever change the way lazy flag is set and
165 reset, be sure to consider this use as well! */

1183 function pointer points to a two-word descriptor, generated by
1184 the linker, which contains the function's entry point, and the
1185 value the IA-64 "global pointer" register should have --- to
1186 support position-independent code. The linker generates
1187 descriptors only for those functions whose addresses are taken.
1189 On such targets, it's difficult for GDB to convert an arbitrary
1190 function address into a function pointer; it has to either find
1191 an existing descriptor for that function, or call malloc and
1192 build its own. On some targets, it is impossible for GDB to
1193 build a descriptor at all: the descriptor must contain a jump
1194 instruction; data memory cannot be executed; and code memory
1197 Upon entry to this function, if VAL is a value of type `function'
1198 (that is, TYPE_CODE (VALUE_TYPE (val)) == TYPE_CODE_FUNC), then
1199 VALUE_ADDRESS (val) is the address of the function. This is what
1200 you'll get if you evaluate an expression like `main'. The call
1201 to COERCE_ARRAY below actually does all the usual unary
1202 conversions, which includes converting values of type `function'
1203 to `pointer to function'. This is the challenging conversion
1204 discussed above. Then, `unpack_long' will convert that pointer
1205 back into an address.
1207 So, suppose the user types `disassemble foo' on an architecture
1208 with a strange function pointer representation, on which GDB
1209 cannot build its own descriptors, and suppose further that `foo'
1210 has no linker-built descriptor. The address->pointer conversion
1211 will signal an error and prevent the command from running, even
1212 though the next step would have been to convert the pointer
1213 directly back into the same address.
1215 The following shortcut avoids this whole mess. If VAL is a
1216 function, just return its address directly. */

1227 addresses (hence not need a pointer to address conversion) while

1234 I think INTEGER_TO_ADDRESS is a good idea as proposed --- but we
1235 must admonish GDB hackers to make sure its behavior matches the
1236 compiler's, whenever possible.
1238 In general, I think GDB should evaluate expressions the same way
1239 the compiler does. When the user copies an expression out of
1240 their source code and hands it to a `print' command, they should
1241 get the same value the compiler would have computed. Any
1242 deviation from this rule can cause major confusion and annoyance,
1243 and needs to be justified carefully. In other words, GDB doesn't
1244 really have the freedom to do these conversions in clever and
1247 AndrewC pointed out that users aren't complaining about how GDB
1248 casts integers to pointers; they are complaining that they can't
1249 take an address from a disassembly listing and give it to `x/i'.
1250 This is certainly important.
1252 Adding an architecture method like integer_to_address() certainly
1253 makes it possible for GDB to "get it right" in all circumstances
1254 --- the target has complete control over how things get done, so
1255 people can Do The Right Thing for their target without breaking
1256 anyone else. The standard doesn't specify how integers get
1257 converted to pointers; usually, the ABI doesn't either, but
1258 ABI-specific code is a more reasonable place to handle it. */
