145 /// Structs, unions, classes, arrays and pointers have child

147 ///
148 /// Structs and unions access child members using a zero based index
149 /// for each child member. For
150 ///
151 /// Classes reserve the first indexes for base classes that have
152 /// members (empty base classes are omitted), and all members of the
153 /// current class will then follow the base classes.
154 ///
155 /// Pointers differ depending on what they point to. If the pointer
156 /// points to a simple type, the child at index zero
157 /// is the only child value available, unless \a synthetic_allowed
158 /// is \b true, in which case the pointer will be used as an array
159 /// and can create 'synthetic' child values using positive or
160 /// negative indexes. If the pointer points to an aggregate type
161 /// (an array, class, union, struct), then the pointee is
162 /// transparently skipped and any children are going to be the indexes
163 /// of the child values within the aggregate type. For example if
164 /// we have a 'Point' type and we have a SBValue that contains a
165 /// pointer to a 'Point' type, then the child at index zero will be
166 /// the 'x' member, and the child at index 1 will be the 'y' member

174 /// index and will returns invalid child values for indexes that are
175 /// out of bounds unless the \a synthetic_allowed is \b true. In this
