[lldb-dev] Should MyType's synthetic provider be instantiated for MyType* and MyType** ?

[Vadim Chugunov via lldb-dev]

Hi,
I am observing that if I bind a synthetic provider to MyType, it will also
be instantiated for MyType*, MyType**, etc, and the object passed into the
constructor will be *of the pointer type*.    I'd have expected the
synthetic to either not be instantiated for pointers, or to be constructed
on the pointee object directly.

Is this a bug or done this way on purpose?
