Hi Tom,
Thanks for your feedback.
The 'embedded_offset' is considered in the ' value_contents_raw (v)' function call whereas the 'offset' is handled in 'rw_pieced_value'. So from my understanding it should work as expected. I will check for regressions and submit a patch.
Best
stephan

I don't remember, sorry.
It's possible I assumed that it should be impossible to create a value with an enclosing type without un-lazying it.
Removing the assertion seems fine but it's important to make sure the result works correctly. An enclosing type normally means that the data representing the 'type' is at some offset in the contents, but it seems to me that rw_pieced_value may not handle this case.
