/* It's sometimes useful to be able to debug programs that you can't
   really stop for more than a fraction of a second.  To this end, the
   user can specify a tracepoint (like a breakpoint, but you don't
   stop at it), and specify a bunch of expressions to record the
   values of when that tracepoint is reached.  As the program runs,
   GDB collects the values.  At any point (possibly while values are
   still being collected), the user can display the collected values.

   This is used with remote debugging; we don't really support it on
   native configurations.

   This means that expressions are being evaluated by the remote agent,
   which doesn't have any access to the symbol table information, and
   needs to be small and simple.

   The agent_expr routines and datatypes are a bytecode language
   designed to be executed by the agent.  Agent expressions work in
   terms of fixed-width values, operators, memory references, and
   register references.  You can evaluate a agent expression just given
   a bunch of memory and register values to sniff at; you don't need
   any symbolic information like variable names, types, etc.

   GDB translates source expressions, whose meaning depends on
   symbolic information, into agent bytecode expressions, whose meaning
   is independent of symbolic information.  This means the agent can
   evaluate them on the fly without reference to data only available
   to the host GDB.  */
