+# Casting a pointer to a base class to a pointer to a derived class
+# should yield the entire derived class.  Until August 2002, GDB got
+# the enclosing type on `(B *) a' wrong: while the value's static type
+# was `B *', as it should be, the enclosing type (which is supposed to
+# be the dynamic type) was `A *'.  It's senseless to have a static
+# type derived from the dynamic type; it should be the other way
+# 'round.  Dereferencing this oddly typed pointer yielded a value in
+# which only the base class's members were initialized, since GDB uses
+# the enclosing type to decide how many bytes to read.  Members from
+# the derived class were garbage, from GDB's address space.
