"Represents the value of a variable, a register, or an expression.

SBValue supports iteration through its child, which in turn is represented
as an SBValue.  For example, we can get the general purpose registers of a
frame as an SBValue, and iterate through all the registers,::

    registerSet = frame.registers # Returns an SBValueList.
    for regs in registerSet:
        if 'general purpose registers' in regs.name.lower():
            GPRs = regs
            break

    print('%s (number of children = %d):' % (GPRs.name, GPRs.num_children))
    for reg in GPRs:
        print('Name: ', reg.name, ' Value: ', reg.value)

produces the output: ::

    Get a child value by index from a value.

    Structs, unions, classes, arrays and pointers have child
    values that can be access by index.

    Structs and unions access child members using a zero based index
    for each child member. For

    Classes reserve the first indexes for base classes that have
    members (empty base classes are omitted), and all members of the
    current class will then follow the base classes.

    Pointers differ depending on what they point to. If the pointer
    points to a simple type, the child at index zero
    is the only child value available, unless synthetic_allowed
    is true, in which case the pointer will be used as an array
    and can create 'synthetic' child values using positive or
    negative indexes. If the pointer points to an aggregate type
    (an array, class, union, struct), then the pointee is
    transparently skipped and any children are going to be the indexes
    of the child values within the aggregate type. For example if
    we have a 'Point' type and we have a SBValue that contains a
    pointer to a 'Point' type, then the child at index zero will be
    the 'x' member, and the child at index 1 will be the 'y' member
    (the child at index zero won't be a 'Point' instance).

    If you actually need an SBValue that represents the type pointed
    to by a SBValue for which GetType().IsPointeeType() returns true,
    regardless of the pointee type, you can do that with the SBValue.Dereference
    method (or the equivalent deref property).

    Arrays have a preset number of children that can be accessed by
    index and will returns invalid child values for indexes that are
    out of bounds unless the synthetic_allowed is true. In this
    case the array can create 'synthetic' child values for indexes
    that aren't in the array bounds using positive or negative
    indexes.

    @param[in] synthetic_allowed
        If true, then allow child values to be created by index
        for pointers and arrays for indexes that normally wouldn't
        be allowed.

        A new SBValue object that represents the child member value."
