  90 /* If a value represents a C++ object, then the `type' field gives the
  91    object's compile-time type.  If the object actually belongs to some
  92    class derived from `type', perhaps with other base classes and
  93    additional members, then `type' is just a subobject of the real
  94    thing, and the full object is probably larger than `type' would
  95    suggest.
  96
  97    If `type' is a dynamic class (i.e. one with a vtable), then GDB can
  98    actually determine the object's run-time type by looking at the
  99    run-time type information in the vtable.  When this information is
 100    available, we may elect to read in the entire object, for several
 101    reasons:
 102
 103    - When printing the value, the user would probably rather see the
 104      full object, not just the limited portion apparent from the
 105      compile-time type.
 106
 107    - If `type' has virtual base classes, then even printing `type'
 108      alone may require reaching outside the `type' portion of the
 109      object to wherever the virtual base class has been stored.
 110
 111    When we store the entire object, `enclosing_type' is the run-time
 112    type -- the complete object -- and `embedded_offset' is the offset
 113    of `type' within that larger type, in bytes.  The value_contents()
 114    macro takes `embedded_offset' into account, so most GDB code
 115    continues to see the `type' portion of the value, just as the
 116    inferior would.
 117
 118    If `type' is a pointer to an object, then `enclosing_type' is a
 119    pointer to the object's run-time type, and `pointed_to_offset' is
 120    the offset in bytes from the full object to the pointed-to object
 121    -- that is, the value `embedded_offset' would have if we followed
 122    the pointer and fetched the complete object.  (I don't really see
 123    the point.  Why not just determine the run-time type when you
 124    indirect, and avoid the special case?  The contents don't matter
 125    until you indirect anyway.)
 126
 127    If we're not doing anything fancy, `enclosing_type' is equal to
 128    `type', and `embedded_offset' is zero, so everything works
 129    normally.  */
