/* GDB stores expressions in the form of a flattened tree (struct
|
||
expression), so we just walk that tree and generate agent bytecodes
|
||
as we go along.
|
||
|
||
GDB's normal evaluation uses struct value, which contains the
|
||
expression's value as well as its address or the register it came
|
||
from. The `+' operator uses the value, whereas the unary `&'
|
||
operator will use the address portion. The `=' operator will use
|
||
the address or register number of its left hand side.
|
||
|
||
The issues are different when generating agent bytecode. Given a
|
||
variable reference expression, we should not necessarily generate
|
||
code to fetch its value, because the next operator may be `=' or
|
||
unary `&'. Instead, when we recurse on a subexpression, we
|
||
indicate whether we want that expression to produce an lvalue or an
|
||
rvalue. If we requested an lvalue, then the recursive call tells
|
||
us whether it generated code to compute an address on the stack, or
|
||
whether the lvalue lives in a register.
|
||
|
||
The `axs' prefix here means `agent expression, static', because
|
||
this is all static analysis of the expression, i.e. analysis which
|
||
doesn't depend on the contents of memory and registers. */
