I have an application which uses DwarfLib to extract type information from
debug executable images. I have found in the DWARF data that some structure
types have a "virtual" pointer added as their first member and this pointer's
DIE contains the tag DW_AT_artificial=true. How does that pointer
DW_AT_artificial generally means the item is compiler-generated, or otherwise
has no explicit representation in the source.
An artificial member in a structure takes up however much space it takes, just
like any other member, and the compiler should have generated the correct
offsets for the oth

You could choose to not show this, but I find it is often easier to
show this information in case some compiler change in the future
marks something that you might
