  /* If a value represents a C++ object, then the `type' field gives

     to some class derived from `type', perhaps with other base
     classes and additional members, then `type' is just a subobject
     of the real thing, and the full object is probably larger than
     `type' would suggest.

     If `type' is a dynamic class (i.e. one with a vtable), then GDB
     can actually determine the object's run-time type by looking at
     the run-time type information in the vtable.  When this
     information is available, we may elect to read in the entire
     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.)

     If we're not doing anything fancy, `enclosing_type' is equal to
     `type', and `embedded_offset' is zero, so everything works

     Call that position I.  Since we also have LENGTH to care for
     (this is a range afterall), we need to check if the _previous_
     range overlaps the I range.  E.g., calling R the new range:

       #1 - overlaps with previous

	   R
	   |-...-|
	 |---|     |---|  |------| ... |--|
	 0         1      2            N

	 I=1

     In the case #1 above, the binary search would return `I=1',
     meaning, this OFFSET should be inserted at position 1, and the
     current position 1 should be pushed further (and become 2).  But,
     note that `0' overlaps with R, so we want to merge them.

     A similar consideration needs to be taken if the new range would
     be contiguous with the previous range:

       #2 - contiguous with previous

	    R
	    |-...-|
	 |--|       |---|  |------| ... |--|
	 0          1      2            N

	 I=1

     If there's no overlap with the previous range, as in:

       #3 - not overlapping and not contiguous

	       R
	       |-...-|
	  |--|         |---|  |------| ... |--|
	  0            1      2            N

	 I=1

     or if I is 0:

       #4 - R is the range with lowest offset

	  R
	 |-...-|
	         |--|       |---|  |------| ... |--|
	         0          1      2            N

	 I=0

     ... we just push the new range to I.

     All the 4 cases above need to consider that the new range may
     also overlap several of the ranges that follow, or that R may be
     contiguous with the following range, and merge.  E.g.,

       #5 - overlapping following ranges

	  R
	 |------------------------|
	         |--|       |---|  |------| ... |--|
	         0          1      2            N

	 I=0

       or:

	    R
	    |-------|
	 |--|       |---|  |------| ... |--|
	 0          1      2            N

	 I=1

  /* There are several targets (IA-64, PowerPC, and others) which

     the function's entry point.  For example, on the IA-64, a
     function pointer points to a two-word descriptor, generated by
     the linker, which contains the function's entry point, and the
     value the IA-64 "global pointer" register should have --- to
     support position-independent code.  The linker generates
     descriptors only for those functions whose addresses are taken.

     On such targets, it's difficult for GDB to convert an arbitrary
     function address into a function pointer; it has to either find
     an existing descriptor for that function, or call malloc and
     build its own.  On some targets, it is impossible for GDB to
     build a descriptor at all: the descriptor must contain a jump
     instruction; data memory cannot be executed; and code memory
     cannot be modified.

     Upon entry to this function, if VAL is a value of type `function'
     (that is, TYPE_CODE (VALUE_TYPE (val)) == TYPE_CODE_FUNC), then
     value_address (val) is the address of the function.  This is what
     you'll get if you evaluate an expression like `main'.  The call
     to COERCE_ARRAY below actually does all the usual unary
     conversions, which includes converting values of type `function'
     to `pointer to function'.  This is the challenging conversion
     discussed above.  Then, `unpack_long' will convert that pointer
     back into an address.

     So, suppose the user types `disassemble foo' on an architecture
     with a strange function pointer representation, on which GDB
     cannot build its own descriptors, and suppose further that `foo'
     has no linker-built descriptor.  The address->pointer conversion
     will signal an error and prevent the command from running, even
     though the next step would have been to convert the pointer
     directly back into the same address.

     The following shortcut avoids this whole mess.  If VAL is a
     function, just return its address directly.  */

     addresses (hence not need a pointer to address conversion) while
     a small integer would still need to be converted integer to
     pointer to address.  Just assume such architectures handle all
     integer conversions in a single function.  */

  /* JimB writes:

     I think INTEGER_TO_ADDRESS is a good idea as proposed --- but we
     must admonish GDB hackers to make sure its behavior matches the
     compiler's, whenever possible.

     In general, I think GDB should evaluate expressions the same way
     the compiler does.  When the user copies an expression out of
     their source code and hands it to a `print' command, they should
     get the same value the compiler would have computed.  Any
     deviation from this rule can cause major confusion and annoyance,
     and needs to be justified carefully.  In other words, GDB doesn't
     really have the freedom to do these conversions in clever and
     useful ways.

     AndrewC pointed out that users aren't complaining about how GDB
     casts integers to pointers; they are complaining that they can't
     take an address from a disassembly listing and give it to `x/i'.
     This is certainly important.

     Adding an architecture method like integer_to_address() certainly
     makes it possible for GDB to "get it right" in all circumstances
     --- the target has complete control over how things get done, so
