+  /// There can be different address masks for code addresses and
+  /// data addresses, this argument can select which to get/set,
+  /// or to use when clearing non-addressable bits from an address.
+  /// On AArch32 code with arm+thumb code, where instructions start
+  /// on even addresses, the 0th bit may be used to indicate that
+  /// a function is thumb code.  On such a target, the eAddressMaskTypeCode
+  /// may clear the 0th bit from an address to get the actual address.

+  /// \a addr_range
+  /// Many of the methods in this group take an \a addr_range argument
+  /// which is an AddressMaskRange enum value.
+  /// Needing to specify the address range is highly unusual, and the
+  /// default argument can be used in nearly all circumstances.
+  /// On some architectures like AArch64, it is possible to have
+  /// different page table setups for low and high memory, so different
+  /// numbers of bits relevant to addressing. It is possible to have
+  /// a program running in one half of memory and accessing the other
+  /// as heap, so we need to maintain two different sets of address masks
+  /// to debug this correctly.
+
+  /// Get the current address mask that will be applied to addresses
+  /// before reading from memory.
+  ///
+  /// \param[in] type
+  ///     See \ref Mask Address Methods descripton of this argument.
+  ///     eAddressMaskTypeAny is often a suitable value when code and
+  ///     data masks are the same on a given target.
