Comment 1 Frank Ch. Eigler 2005-07-19 17:28:58 UTC 
A useful first step is just to resolve "$var" alone, without any of the
dereferencing complexity.  C function calls could do the rest of pointer
traversal etc. for now.
Comment 2 Graydon Hoare 2005-08-04 02:51:59 UTC 
scalar rvalue reads from target are working now. no lvalues, no
structure-pointer-members.
Comment 3 Graydon Hoare 2005-08-11 03:32:00 UTC 
a basic, no-bounds-checking, read-only version of member/array/pointer access is
now present; crash your machine with it at your leisure..
Comment 4 Frank Ch. Eigler 2005-08-30 21:10:38 UTC 
generic work item complete; bugs being reported separately
