     36 /* Values can be partially 'optimized out' and/or 'unavailable'.
     37    These are distinct states and have different string representations
     38    and related error strings.
     39 
     40    'unavailable' has a specific meaning in this context.  It means the
     41    value exists in the program (at the machine level), but GDB has no
     42    means to get to it.  Such a value is normally printed as
     43    <unavailable>.  Examples of how to end up with an unavailable value
     44    would be:
     45 
     46     - We're inspecting a traceframe, and the memory or registers the
     47       debug information says the value lives on haven't been collected.
     48 
     49     - We're inspecting a core dump, the memory or registers the debug
     50       information says the value lives aren't present in the dump
     51       (that is, we have a partial/trimmed core dump, or we don't fully
     52       understand/handle the core dump's format).
     53 
     54     - We're doing live debugging, but the debug API has no means to
     55       get at where the value lives in the machine, like e.g., ptrace
     56       not having access to some register or register set.
     57 
     58     - Any other similar scenario.
     59 
     60   OTOH, "optimized out" is about what the compiler decided to generate
     61   (or not generate).  A chunk of a value that was optimized out does
     62   not actually exist in the program.  There's no way to get at it
     63   short of compiling the program differently.
     64 
     65   A register that has not been saved in a frame is likewise considered
     66   optimized out, except not-saved registers have a different string
     67   representation and related error strings.  E.g., we'll print them as
     68   <not-saved> instead of <optimized out>, as in:
     69 
     70     (gdb) p/x $rax
     71     $1 = <not saved>
     72     (gdb) info registers rax
     73     rax            <not saved>
     74 
     75   If the debug info describes a variable as being in such a register,
     76   we'll still print the variable as <optimized out>.  IOW, <not saved>
     77   is reserved for inspecting registers at the machine level.
     78 
     79   When comparing value contents, optimized out chunks, unavailable
     80   chunks, and valid contents data are all considered different.  See
     81   value_contents_eq for more info.

    176    object's compile-time type.  If the object actually belongs to some
    177    class derived from `type', perhaps with other base classes and
    178    additional members, then `type' is just a subobject of the real
    179    thing, and the full object is probably larger than `type' would
    180    suggest.
    181 
    182    If `type' is a dynamic class (i.e. one with a vtable), then GDB can
    183    actually determine the object's run-time type by looking at the
    184    run-time type information in the vtable.  When this information is
    185    available, we may elect to read in the entire object, for several
    186    reasons:
    187 
    188    - When printing the value, the user would probably rather see the
    189      full object, not just the limited portion apparent from the
    190      compile-time type.
    191 
    192    - If `type' has virtual base classes, then even printing `type'
    193      alone may require reaching outside the `type' portion of the
    194      object to wherever the virtual base class has been stored.
    195 
    196    When we store the entire object, `enclosing_type' is the run-time
    197    type -- the complete object -- and `embedded_offset' is the offset
    198    of `type' within that larger type, in bytes.  The value_contents()
    199    macro takes `embedded_offset' into account, so most GDB code
    200    continues to see the `type' portion of the value, just as the
    201    inferior would.
    202 
    203    If `type' is a pointer to an object, then `enclosing_type' is a
    204    pointer to the object's run-time type, and `pointed_to_offset' is
    205    the offset in bytes from the full object to the pointed-to object
    206    -- that is, the value `embedded_offset' would have if we followed
    207    the pointer and fetched the complete object.  (I don't really see
    208    the point.  Why not just determine the run-time type when you
    209    indirect, and avoid the special case?  The contents don't matter
    210    until you indirect anyway.)
    211 
    212    If we're not doing anything fancy, `enclosing_type' is equal to
    213    `type', and `embedded_offset' is zero, so everything works
