If the value of the hint flags is zero, none of the individual hints
will match, obviously.

It sometimes happens with preprocessor macros.  The trick I use in
those cases is this:

  (gdb) print USPosition+0

If even this doesn't help, it most probably means Emacs wasn't
compiled with the -g3 flag.

In any case, googling finds this:

  
https://tronche.com/gui/x/xlib/ICC/client-to-window-manager/wm-normal-hints.html

which shows the values of the flags.
