OK, thanks.

It just "safely" says:
      DWARF operator DW_OP_GNU_entry_value cannot be translated to an agent expression

I have seen more opcodes not implemented so I did not feel so guilty.

It may have been discussed - it is not in `(gdb)Rationale' - why isn't AX at
least derived from DWARF?  But I guess the answer is the part of DWARF
expressions compatible with `(gdb)Rationale' --- the AX requirements - is
negligibly small.


Thanks,
Jan
