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. */ struct type *enclosing_type; int embedded_offset; int pointed_to_offset; /* Values are stored in a chain, so that they can be deleted easily over calls to the inferior.

The linker generates descriptors only for those functions whose addresses are taken. On such targets, it's difficult for GDB to convert an arbitrary function address into a function pointer; it has to either find an existing descriptor for that function, or call malloc and build its own. On some targets, it is impossible for GDB to build a descriptor at all: the descriptor must contain a jump instruction; data memory cannot be executed; and code memory cannot be modified. Upon entry to this function, if VAL is a value of type `function' (that is, TYPE_CODE (VALUE_TYPE (val)) == TYPE_CODE_FUNC), then VALUE_ADDRESS (val) is the address of the function. This is what you'll get if you evaluate an expression like `main'. The call to COERCE_ARRAY below actually does all the usual unary conversions, which includes converting values of type `function' to `pointer to function'. This is the challenging conversion discussed above. Then, `unpack_long' will convert that pointer back into an address. So, suppose the user types `disassemble foo' on an architecture with a strange function pointer representation, on which GDB cannot build its own descriptors, and suppose further that `foo' has no linker-built descriptor.

Any deviation from this rule can cause major confusion and annoyance, and needs to be justified carefully. In other words, GDB doesn't really have the freedom to do these conversions in clever and useful ways. AndrewC pointed out that users aren't complaining about how GDB casts integers to pointers; they are complaining that they can't take an address from a disassembly listing and give it to `x/i'. This is certainly important. Adding an architecture method like integer_to_address() certainly makes it possible for GDB to "get it right" in all circumstances --- the target has complete control over how things get done, so people can Do The Right Thing for their target without breaking anyone else.
