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

185 the chain doesn't need to be watched as part of watching the
186 value itself. This is how GDB avoids watching the entire struct
187 or array when the user wants to watch a single struct member or

1580 value the IA-64 "global pointer" register should have --- to
1581 support position-independent code. The linker generates
1582 descriptors only for those functions whose addresses are taken.
1584 On such targets, it's difficult for GDB to convert an arbitrary

1586 an existing descriptor for that function, or call malloc and

1597 conversions, which includes converting values of type `function'
1598 to `pointer to function'. This is the challenging conversion
1599 discussed above. Then, `unpack_long' will convert that pointer
1600 back into an address.
1602 So, suppose the user types `disassemble foo' on an architecture
1603 with a strange function pointer representation, on which GDB
1604 cannot build its own descriptors, and suppose further that `foo'
1605 has no linker-built descriptor. The address->pointer conversion
1606 will signal an error and prevent the command from running, even
1607 though the next step would have been to convert the pointer
1608 directly back into the same address.
1610 The following shortcut avoids this whole mess. If VAL is a
1611 function, just return its address directly. */

1629 I think INTEGER_TO_ADDRESS is a good idea as proposed --- but we
1630 must admonish GDB hackers to make sure its behavior matches the
1631 compiler's, whenever possible.
1633 In general, I think GDB should evaluate expressions the same way
1634 the compiler does. When the user copies an expression out of
1635 their source code and hands it to a `print' command, they should
1636 get the same value the compiler would have computed. Any
1637 deviation from this rule can cause major confusion and annoyance,
1638 and needs to be justified carefully. In other words, GDB doesn't
1639 really have the freedom to do these conversions in clever and
1642 AndrewC pointed out that users aren't complaining about how GDB
1643 casts integers to pointers; they are complaining that they can't
1644 take an address from a disassembly listing and give it to `x/i'.
1645 This is certainly important.
1647 Adding an architecture method like integer_to_address() certainly
1648 makes it possible for GDB to "get it right" in all circumstances
1649 --- the target has complete control over how things get done, so
1650 people can Do The Right Thing for their target without breaking
1651 anyone else. The standard doesn't specify how integers get
1652 converted to pointers; usually, the ABI doesn't either, but
1653 ABI-specific code is a more reasonable place to handle it. */
