The TYPE_NONCOPIED_PARTS field is a list specifying which parts
of an object of this type should *not* be copied by assignment.
- The TREE_PURPOSE of each element is the offset of the part
- and the TREE_VALUE is the size in bits of the part.
+ The TREE_VALUE of each is a FIELD_DECL that should not be
+ copied. The TREE_PURPOSE is an initial value for that field when
+ an object of this type is initialized via an INIT_EXPR. It may
+ be NULL if no special value is required. Even the things in this
+ list are copied if the right-hand side of an assignment is known
+ to be a complete object (rather than being, perhaps, a subobject
+ of some other object.) The determination of what constitutes a
+ complete object is done by fixed_type_p.
The TYPE_NAME field contains info on the name used in the program
for this type (for GDB symbol table output). It is either a
TYPE_DECL node, for types that are typedefs, or an IDENTIFIER_NODE
