Ok.
Looking here: http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Values-From-Inferior.html#Values-From-Inferior
I can't find documentation for the constructor André showed me:
gdb.Value(addr). From my perspective that was something I had looked
for and needed but couldn't find through the current doc. It might be
the case that it is considered implicit, like "everyone knows you can
just create new gdb.Values" but I obviously had to ask here to figure
it out :)
I think this would be a good addition.
