- If `type' is a dynamic class (i.e. one with a vtable), then GDB

- object, for several reasons:
-
- - When printing the value, the user would probably rather see the
- full object, not just the limited portion apparent from the
- compile-time type.
-
- - If `type' has virtual base classes, then even printing `type'
- alone may require reaching outside the `type' portion of the
- object to wherever the virtual base class has been stored.
-
- When we store the entire object, `enclosing_type' is the run-time
- type -- the complete object -- and `embedded_offset' is the
- offset of `type' within that larger type, in bytes. The
- value_contents() macro takes `embedded_offset' into account, so
- most GDB code continues to see the `type' portion of the value,
- just as the inferior would.
-
- If `type' is a pointer to an object, then `enclosing_type' is a
- pointer to the object's run-time type, and `pointed_to_offset' is
- the offset in bytes from the full object to the pointed-to object
- -- that is, the value `embedded_offset' would have if we followed
- the pointer and fetched the complete object. (I don't really see
- the point. Why not just determine the run-time type when you
- indirect, and avoid the special case? The contents don't matter
- until you indirect anyway.)
