37 /* Values can be partially 'optimized out' and/or 'unavailable'.
38 These are distinct states and have different string representations
39 and related error strings.
41 'unavailable' has a specific meaning in this context. It means the
42 value exists in the program (at the machine level), but GDB has no
43 means to get to it. Such a value is normally printed as
44 <unavailable>. Examples of how to end up with an unavailable value
47 - We're inspecting a traceframe, and the memory or registers the
48 debug information says the value lives on haven't been collected.
50 - We're inspecting a core dump, the memory or registers the debug
51 information says the value lives aren't present in the dump
52 (that is, we have a partial/trimmed core dump, or we don't fully
53 understand/handle the core dump's format).
55 - We're doing live debugging, but the debug API has no means to
56 get at where the value lives in the machine, like e.g., ptrace
57 not having access to some register or register set.
59 - Any other similar scenario.
61 OTOH, "optimized out" is about what the compiler decided to generate
62 (or not generate). A chunk of a value that was optimized out does
63 not actually exist in the program. There's no way to get at it
64 short of compiling the program differently.
66 A register that has not been saved in a frame is likewise considered
67 optimized out, except not-saved registers have a different string
68 representation and related error strings. E.g., we'll print them as
69 <not-saved> instead of <optimized out>, as in:
73 (gdb) info registers rax
76 If the debug info describes a variable as being in such a register,
77 we'll still print the variable as <optimized out>. IOW, <not saved>
78 is reserved for inspecting registers at the machine level.
80 When comparing value contents, optimized out chunks, unavailable
81 chunks, and valid contents data are all considered different. See
82 value_contents_eq for more info.

278 /* If a value represents a C++ object, then the `type' field gives
279 the object's compile-time type. If the object actually belongs
280 to some class derived from `type', perhaps with other base
281 classes and additional members, then `type' is just a subobject
282 of the real thing, and the full object is probably larger than
283 `type' would suggest.
285 If `type' is a dynamic class (i.e. one with a vtable), then GDB
286 can actually determine the object's run-time type by looking at
287 the run-time type information in the vtable. When this
288 information is available, we may elect to read in the entire
289 object, for several reasons:
291 - When printing the value, the user would probably rather see the
292 full object, not just the limited portion apparent from the
295 - If `type' has virtual base classes, then even printing `type'
296 alone may require reaching outside the `type' portion of the
297 object to wherever the virtual base class has been stored.
299 When we store the entire object, `enclosing_type' is the run-time
300 type -- the complete object -- and `embedded_offset' is the
301 offset of `type' within that larger type, in target addressable memory
302 units. The value_contents() macro takes `embedded_offset' into account,
303 so most GDB code continues to see the `type' portion of the value, just
304 as the inferior would.
306 If `type' is a pointer to an object, then `enclosing_type' is a
307 pointer to the object's run-time type, and `pointed_to_offset' is
308 the offset in target addressable memory units from the full object
309 to the pointed-to object -- that is, the value `embedded_offset' would
310 have if we followed the pointer and fetched the complete object.
311 (I don't really see the point. Why not just determine the
312 run-time type when you indirect, and avoid the special case? The
313 contents don't matter until you indirect anyway.)
