We want to track type states as instructions are executed. Each
instruction can access compound types like struct or union and load/
store its members to a different location.
The die_deref_ptr_type() is to find a type of memory access with a
pointer variable. If it points to a compound type like struct, the
target memory is a member in the struct. The access will happen
with an offset indicating which member it refers. Let's follow the
DWARF info to figure out the type of the pointer target.
For example, say we have the following code.
struct foo {
int a;
int b;
};
struct foo *p = malloc(sizeof(*p));
p->b = 0;
The last pointer access should produce x86 asm like below:
mov 0x0, 4(%rbx)
And we know %rbx register has a pointer to struct foo. Then offset 4
should return the debug info of member 'b'.
Also variables of compound types can be accessed directly without a
pointer. The die_get_member_type() is to handle a such case.
