I'm not so sure. In the past, GCC hasn't waited for GDB so I don't think that would be the reason now.dwarf2 makes it possible to scatter a value across both memory and registers. It's been proposed that the `struct value' be augmented with something like `struct location' that knows how to find any sub component of a value.
However, right now GCC doesn't generate this. Probably because it would kill us.
Michael, I think the new multi-arch function is a good idea as long asI think it is very dangerous. It's assuming a specific algorithm in the compiler. That locks both GDB and GCC into something of a death spiral. I think its far better to try and get a proper location mechanism working.
it is a fallback from explicit debug info support, when we have such. I also think it needs a better name; but I'm not quite sure what. Hmm,
that could be mitigated by adequate commenting.
