/* If a value represents a C++ object, then the `type' field gives the
   object's compile-time type.  If the object actually belongs 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
   normally.  */

   (see breakpoint.c) to decide whether a particular value can be
   watched by hardware watchpoints.  If the lazy flag is set for some
   member of a value chain, it is assumed that this member of the
   chain doesn't need to be watched as part of watching the value
   itself.  This is how GDB avoids watching the entire struct or array
