     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.
     40 
     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
     45    would be:
     46 
     47     - We're inspecting a traceframe, and the memory or registers the
     48       debug information says the value lives on haven't been collected.
     49 
     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).
     54 
     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.
     58 
     59     - Any other similar scenario.
     60 
     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.
     65 
     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:
     70 
     71     (gdb) p/x $rax
     72     $1 = <not saved>
     73     (gdb) info registers rax
     74     rax            <not saved>
     75 
     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.
     79 
     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.

    284   /* If a value represents a C++ object, then the `type' field gives the
    285      object's compile-time type.  If the object actually belongs to some
    286      class derived from `type', perhaps with other base classes and
    287      additional members, then `type' is just a subobject of the real
    288      thing, and the full object is probably larger than `type' would
    289      suggest.
    290 
    291      If `type' is a dynamic class (i.e. one with a vtable), then GDB can
    292      actually determine the object's run-time type by looking at the
    293      run-time type information in the vtable.  When this information is
    294      available, we may elect to read in the entire object, for several
    295      reasons:
    296 
    297      - When printing the value, the user would probably rather see the
    298      full object, not just the limited portion apparent from the
    299      compile-time type.
    300 
    301      - If `type' has virtual base classes, then even printing `type'
    302      alone may require reaching outside the `type' portion of the
    303      object to wherever the virtual base class has been stored.
    304 
    305      When we store the entire object, `enclosing_type' is the run-time
    306      type -- the complete object -- and `embedded_offset' is the offset
    307      of `type' within that larger type, in bytes.  The contents()
    308      method takes `embedded_offset' into account, so most GDB code
    309      continues to see the `type' portion of the value, just as the
    310      inferior would.
    311 
    312      If `type' is a pointer to an object, then `enclosing_type' is a
    313      pointer to the object's run-time type, and `pointed_to_offset' is
    314      the offset in bytes from the full object to the pointed-to object
    315      -- that is, the value `embedded_offset' would have if we followed
    316      the pointer and fetched the complete object.  (I don't really see
    317      the point.  Why not just determine the run-time type when you
    318      indirect, and avoid the special case?  The contents don't matter
    319      until you indirect anyway.)
    320 
    321      If we're not doing anything fancy, `enclosing_type' is equal to
    322      `type', and `embedded_offset' is zero, so everything works

    751      classes and additional members, then `type' is just a subobject
    752      of the real thing, and the full object is probably larger than
    753      `type' would suggest.
    754 
    755      If `type' is a dynamic class (i.e. one with a vtable), then GDB
    756      can actually determine the object's run-time type by looking at
    757      the run-time type information in the vtable.  When this
    758      information is available, we may elect to read in the entire
    759      object, for several reasons:
    760 
    761      - When printing the value, the user would probably rather see the
    762      full object, not just the limited portion apparent from the
    763      compile-time type.
    764 
    765      - If `type' has virtual base classes, then even printing `type'
    766      alone may require reaching outside the `type' portion of the
    767      object to wherever the virtual base class has been stored.
    768 
    769      When we store the entire object, `enclosing_type' is the run-time
    770      type -- the complete object -- and `embedded_offset' is the
    771      offset of `type' within that larger type, in target addressable memory
    772      units.  The contents() method takes `embedded_offset' into account,
    773      so most GDB code continues to see the `type' portion of the value, just
    774      as the inferior would.
    775 
    776      If `type' is a pointer to an object, then `enclosing_type' is a
    777      pointer to the object's run-time type, and `pointed_to_offset' is
    778      the offset in target addressable memory units from the full object
    779      to the pointed-to object -- that is, the value `embedded_offset' would
    780      have if we followed the pointer and fetched the complete object.
    781      (I don't really see the point.  Why not just determine the
    782      run-time type when you indirect, and avoid the special case?  The
    783      contents don't matter until you indirect anyway.)
    784 
    785      If we're not doing anything fancy, `enclosing_type' is equal to
