+/* 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. */
