/* Values can be partially 'optimized out' and/or 'unavailable'.
   These are distinct states and have different string representations
   and related error strings.

   'unavailable' has a specific meaning in this context.  It means the
   value exists in the program (at the machine level), but GDB has no
   means to get to it.  Such a value is normally printed as
   <unavailable>.  Examples of how to end up with an unavailable value
   would be:

    - We're inspecting a traceframe, and the memory or registers the
      debug information says the value lives on haven't been collected.

    - We're inspecting a core dump, the memory or registers the debug
      information says the value lives aren't present in the dump
      (that is, we have a partial/trimmed core dump, or we don't fully
      understand/handle the core dump's format).

    - We're doing live debugging, but the debug API has no means to
      get at where the value lives in the machine, like e.g., ptrace
      not having access to some register or register set.

    - Any other similar scenario.

  OTOH, "optimized out" is about what the compiler decided to generate
  (or not generate).  A chunk of a value that was optimized out does
  not actually exist in the program.  There's no way to get at it
  short of compiling the program differently.

  A register that has not been saved in a frame is likewise considered
  optimized out, except not-saved registers have a different string
  representation and related error strings.  E.g., we'll print them as
  <not-saved> instead of <optimized out>, as in:

    (gdb) p/x $rax
    $1 = <not saved>
    (gdb) info registers rax
    rax            <not saved>

  If the debug info describes a variable as being in such a register,
  we'll still print the variable as <optimized out>.  IOW, <not saved>
  is reserved for inspecting registers at the machine level.

  When comparing value contents, optimized out chunks, unavailable
  chunks, and valid contents data are all considered different.  See
  value_contents_eq for more info.

  /* 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 contents()
     method 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

     Note that "contents" refers to the whole value's contents

     example, to compare a complete object value with itself, including

     not equal to non-optimized-out contents.

     Unavailable contents are equal to unavailable contents, and are not
     equal to non-unavailable contents.

     For example, if 'x's represent an unavailable byte, and 'V' and 'Z'
     represent different available/valid bytes, in a value with length
     16:

     offset:   0   4   8   12  16

     val->contents_eq(4, val, 12, 2) => true
     val->contents_eq(4, val, 12, 4) => true
     val->contents_eq(3, val, 4, 4) => true

     If 'x's represent an unavailable byte, 'o' represents an optimized
     out byte, in a value with length 8:

     offset:   0   4   8
     contents: xxxxoooo

     then:

     val->contents_eq(0, val, 2, 2) => true
     val->contents_eq(4, val, 6, 2) => true
     val->contents_eq(0, val, 4, 4) => true

     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 target addressable memory
     units.  The contents() method 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 target addressable memory units 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
