OP (TYPE_CODE_PTR)		/**< Pointer type */

/* * Array type with lower & upper bounds.

   Regardless of the language, GDB represents multidimensional
   array types the way C does: as arrays of arrays.  So an
   instance of a GDB array type T can always be seen as a series
   of instances of T->target_type () laid out sequentially in
   memory.

   Row-major languages like C lay out multi-dimensional arrays so
   that incrementing the rightmost index in a subscripting
   expression results in the smallest change in the address of the
   element referred to.  Column-major languages like Fortran lay
   them out so that incrementing the leftmost index results in the
   smallest change.

   This means that, in column-major languages, working our way
   from type to target type corresponds to working through indices
   from right to left, not left to right.  */

/* * Void type.  The length field specifies the length (probably
   always one) which is used in pointer arithmetic involving
   pointers to this type, but actually dereferencing such a
   pointer is invalid; a void type has no length and no actual
   representation in memory or registers.  A pointer to a void
   type is a generic pointer.  */

/* * A string type which is like an array of character but prints
   differently.  It does not contain a length field as Pascal
   strings (for many Pascals, anyway) do; if we want to deal with
   such strings, we should use a new type code.  */

   member function).  The representation may vary between different
   C++ ABIs.  */
OP (TYPE_CODE_METHODPTR)

/* * Pointer-to-member type.  This is the offset within a class to
   some particular data member.  The only currently supported
   representation uses an unbiased offset, with -1 representing
   NULL; this is used by the Itanium C++ ABI (used by GCC on all
   platforms).  */

   NAMELIST statement assign a group name to a collection of variables
   called as namelist items. The namelist items can be of any data type
   and can be variables or arrays.

   Compiler emit DW_TAG_namelist for group name and DW_TAG_namelist_item
   for each of the namelist items. GDB process these namelist dies
   and print namelist variables during print and ptype commands.  */
