watchpoints (see breakpoint.c) to decide whether a particular
value can be watched by hardware watchpoints. If the lazy flag
is set for some member of a value chain, it is assumed that
this member of the chain doesn't need to be watched as part of
watching the value itself. This is how GDB avoids watching the
entire struct or array when the user wants to watch a single
struct member or array element. If you ever change the way
lazy flag is set and reset, be sure to consider this use as
