Well, I'm sorry to say that it doesn't explain this enough for me. I'm quite a heavy user of GDB, but I have no idea what is a tagged pointer for data access. Do we have in the manual anything related to such pointers, even if we use different words to talk about them? If so, could you point me to those descriptions in the manual? Maybe if I read what we say there, I could suggest wording for NEWS that will be consistent with our terminology in the manual. Thanks.
