changed, then this will be the string @samp{true}; otherwise it will
be @samp{false}.
When a varobj's type changes, its children are also likely to have
become incorrect. Therefore, the varobj's children are automatically
deleted when this attribute is @samp{true}. Also, the varobj's update
range, when set using the @code{-var-set-update-range} command, is
unset.

If the varobj's type changed, then this field will be present and will
hold the new type.
