/* This include file defines the interface between the main part of
the debugger, and the part which is target-specific, or specific to
the communications interface between us and the target.
A TARGET is an interface between the debugger and a particular
kind of file or process. Targets can be STACKED in STRATA,
so that more than one target can potentially respond to a request.
In particular, memory accesses will walk down the stack of targets
until they find a target that is interested in handling that particular
address. STRATA are artificial boundaries on the stack, within
which particular kinds of targets live. Strata exist so that
people don't get confused by pushing e.g. a process target and then
a file target, and wondering why they can't see the current values
of variables any more (the file target is handling them and they
never get to the process target). So when you push a file target,
it goes into the file stratum, which is always below the process
stratum.
Note that rather than allow an empty stack, we always have the
dummy target at the bottom stratum, so we can call the target
methods without checking them. */

1 byte long. The OFFSET, for a seekable object, specifies the
starting point. The ANNEX can be used to provide additional
data-specific information to the target.
When accessing memory, inferior_ptid indicates which process's
memory is to be accessed. This is usually the same process as
the current inferior, however it may also be a process that is
a fork child of the current inferior, at a moment that the
child does not exist in GDB's inferior lists. This happens
when we remove software breakpoints from the address space of a
fork child process that we're not going to stay attached to.
Because the fork child is a clone of the fork parent, we can
use the fork parent inferior's stack for target method
delegation.
Return the transferred status, error or OK (an

(TARGET_XFER_OK) or the number unavailable units if the requested
data is unavailable (TARGET_XFER_UNAVAILABLE). *XFERED_LEN
smaller than LEN does not indicate the end of the object, only
the end of the transfer; higher level code should continue
transferring if desired. This is handled in target.c.
The interface does not support a "retry" mechanism. Instead it
assumes that at least one addressable unit will be transferred on each
successful call.
NOTE: cagney/2003-10-17: The current interface can lead to
fragmented transfers. Lower target levels should not implement
hacks, such as enlarging the transfer, in an attempt to
compensate for this. Instead, the target stack should be
extended so that it implements supply/collect methods and a
look-aside object cache. With that available, the lowest
target can safely and freely "push" data up the stack.

/* GDB's current model is that there are three "kinds" of watchpoints,
with respect to when they trigger and how you can move past them.
Those are: continuable, steppable, and non-steppable.
Continuable watchpoints are like x86's -- those trigger after the
memory access's side effects are fully committed to memory. I.e.,
they trap with the PC pointing at the next instruction already.
Continuing past such a watchpoint is doable by just normally
continuing, hence the name.
Both steppable and non-steppable watchpoints trap before the memory
access. I.e, the PC points at the instruction that is accessing
the memory. So GDB needs to single-step once past the current
instruction in order to make the access effective and check whether
the instruction's side effects change the watched expression.
Now, in order to step past that instruction, depending on
architecture and target, you can have two situations:
- steppable watchpoints: you can single-step with the watchpoint
still armed, and the watchpoint won't trigger again.
- non-steppable watchpoints: if you try to single-step with the
watchpoint still armed, you'd trap the watchpoint again and the
thread wouldn't make any progress. So GDB needs to temporarily
remove the watchpoint in order to step past it.
If your target/architecture does not signal that it has either
steppable or non-steppable watchpoints via either
target_have_steppable_watchpoint or
gdbarch_have_nonsteppable_watchpoint, GDB assumes continuable
