struct expression;
/* Types and enums */
/* 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. */

number. */
