   corresponding attribute description, so that a single handler can
   be used for multiple attributes; the attribute name is available
   for error messages and the handler data is available for additional
   customization (see gdb_xml_parse_attr_enum).  VALUE is the string
   value of the attribute.

   The returned value should be freeable with xfree, and will be freed
   after the start handler is called.  Errors should be reported by
   calling gdb_xml_error.  */

   attached to this element.

   attributes were present and parsed successfully, and elements of
   ATTRIBUTES are guaranteed to be in the same order used in
   ELEMENT->ATTRIBUTES (not the order from the XML file).  Accordingly
   fixed offsets can be used to find any non-optional attributes as
