23 /* It's sometimes useful to be able to debug programs that you can't
24 really stop for more than a fraction of a second. To this end, the
25 user can specify a tracepoint (like a breakpoint, but you don't
26 stop at it), and specify a bunch of expressions to record the
27 values of when that tracepoint is reached. As the program runs,
28 GDB collects the values. At any point (possibly while values are
29 still being collected), the user can display the collected values.
30
31 This is used with remote debugging; we don't really support it on
32 native configurations.
33
34 This means that expressions are being evaluated by the remote agent,
35 which doesn't have any access to the symbol table information, and
36 needs to be small and simple.
37
38 The agent_expr routines and datatypes are a bytecode language
39 designed to be executed by the agent. Agent expressions work in
40 terms of fixed-width values, operators, memory references, and
41 register references. You can evaluate a agent expression just given
42 a bunch of memory and register values to sniff at; you don't need
43 any symbolic information like variable names, types, etc.
44
45 GDB translates source expressions, whose meaning depends on
46 symbolic information, into agent bytecode expressions, whose meaning
47 is independent of symbolic information. This means the agent can
48 evaluate them on the fly without reference to data only available
49 to the host GDB. */

77 Other independent implementations of the agent bytecode engine will

79 when we change this table. The numeric values should remain fixed
80 whenever possible. Thus, we assign them values explicitly here (to
81 allow gaps to form safely), and the disassembly table in
82 agentexpr.h behaves like an opcode map. If you want to see them
83 grouped logically, see doc/agentexpr.texi. */
