-/* 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. */
