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

    print '%s (number of children = %d):' % (GPRs.GetName(), GPRs.GetNumChildren())
    for reg in GPRs:
        print 'Name: ', reg.GetName(), ' Value: ', reg.GetValue()

produces the output:
