a value has-a location

[Andrew Cagney <cagney@gnu.org>]

(back to this one again)

We've the relationship:

        LOCATION ----<> VALUE <>----- TYPE
            .
           /_\
            |
            +-------------------------.
            |                         |
      DWARF-2 LOCATION         LEGACY LOCATION

That is:

A VALUE has-a TYPE and a LOCATION.  The LOCATION describing how to 
obtain the BITS and BYTES belonging to the value (but may not actually 
contan those bits and bytes).

LOCATION could have methods such as:

	int read (offset, length, readbuf)
	    -- read at least some of the bytes
	void read_full (offset, length, writebuf)
	    -- read all the bytes, or throw an error
	int io (offset, length, readbuf, writebuf)

and perhaphs:

	iterate-over-pieces (method)
	    -- call method with each register/memory piece
	    -- needed by watchpoints

A DWARF-2 LOCATION would be implemented using the DWARF-2 code.  A 
LEGACY LOCATION would accomodate the old more explicit way of doing things.

It is this that will replace VALUE_CONTENTS{,_RAW} et.al.

I intend refactoring ``struct value'' so that there is an explicit 
location object (at present it's a union :-/).  Initially it will 
probably remain in ``struct value''.  Once the location has been 
separated out we can look at making it virtual with separate dwarf-2 and 
legacy locations.
