/* GDB stores expressions in the form of a flattened tree (struct
   expression), so we just walk that tree and generate agent bytecodes
   as we go along.

   GDB's normal evaluation uses struct value, which contains the
   expression's value as well as its address or the register it came
   from.  The `+' operator uses the value, whereas the unary `&'
   operator will use the address portion.  The `=' operator will use
   the address or register number of its left hand side.

   The issues are different when generating agent bytecode.  Given a
   variable reference expression, we should not necessarily generate
   code to fetch its value, because the next operator may be `=' or
   unary `&'.  Instead, when we recurse on a subexpression, we
   indicate whether we want that expression to produce an lvalue or an
   rvalue.  If we requested an lvalue, then the recursive call tells
   us whether it generated code to compute an address on the stack, or
   whether the lvalue lives in a register.

   The `axs' prefix here means `agent expression, static', because
   this is all static analysis of the expression, i.e. analysis which
   doesn't depend on the contents of memory and registers.  */
