    The TYPE_NONCOPIED_PARTS field is a list specifying which parts
      of an object of this type should *not* be copied by assignment.
-     The TREE_PURPOSE of each element is the offset of the part
-     and the TREE_VALUE is the size in bits of the part.
+     The TREE_VALUE of each is a FIELD_DECL that should not be
+     copied.  The TREE_PURPOSE is an initial value for that field when
+     an object of this type is initialized via an INIT_EXPR.  It may
+     be NULL if no special value is required.  Even the things in this
+     list are copied if the right-hand side of an assignment is known
+     to be a complete object (rather than being, perhaps, a subobject
+     of some other object.)  The determination of what constitutes a
+     complete object is done by fixed_type_p.
    The TYPE_NAME field contains info on the name used in the program
      for this type (for GDB symbol table output).  It is either a
      TYPE_DECL node, for types that are typedefs, or an IDENTIFIER_NODE
