25 /* The following is the intended naming schema for frame functions.
26 It isn't 100% consistent, but it is aproaching that. Frame naming
27 schema:
28
29 Prefixes:
30
31 get_frame_WHAT...(): Get WHAT from the THIS frame (functionaly
32 equivalent to THIS->next->unwind->what)
33
34 frame_unwind_WHAT...(): Unwind THIS frame's WHAT from the NEXT
35 frame.
36
37 put_frame_WHAT...(): Put a value into this frame (unsafe, need to
38 invalidate the frame / regcache afterwards) (better name more
39 strongly hinting at its unsafeness)
40
41 safe_....(): Safer version of various functions, doesn't throw an
42 error (leave this for later?). Returns non-zero / non-NULL if the
43 request succeeds, zero / NULL otherwize.
44
45 Suffixes:
46
47 void /frame/_WHAT(): Read WHAT's value into the buffer parameter.
48
49 ULONGEST /frame/_WHAT_unsigned(): Return an unsigned value (the
50 alternative is *frame_unsigned_WHAT).
51
52 LONGEST /frame/_WHAT_signed(): Return WHAT signed value.
53
54 What:
55
56 /frame/_memory* (frame, coreaddr, len [, buf]): Extract/return
57 *memory.
58
59 /frame/_register* (frame, regnum [, buf]): extract/return register.

305 get_frame_id: A low level frame unique identifier, that consists of
306 both a stack and a function address, that can be used to uniquely
307 identify a frame. This value is determined by the frame's
308 low-level unwinder, the stack part [typically] being the
309 top-of-stack of the previous frame, and the function part being the
310 function's start address. Since the correct identification of a
311 frameless function requires both the a stack and function address,
312 the old get_frame_base method was not sufficient.
313
314 get_frame_base_address: get_frame_locals_address:
315 get_frame_args_address: A set of high-level debug-info dependant
316 addresses that fall within the frame. These addresses almost
317 certainly will not match the stack address part of a frame ID (as
318 returned by get_frame_base).

554 NOTE: cagney/2002-11-29:
555
556 No state? Does the inferior have any execution state (a core file
557 does, an executable does not). At present the code tests
558 `target_has_stack' but I'm left wondering if it should test
559 `target_has_registers' or, even, a merged target_has_state.
560
561 Should it look at the most recently specified SAL? If the target
562 has no state, should this function try to extract a block from the
563 most recently selected SAL? That way `list foo' would give it some
564 sort of reference point. Then again, perhaps that would confuse
565 things.
566
567 Calls to this function can be broken down into two categories: Code
568 that uses the selected block as an additional, but optional, data
569 point; Code that uses the selected block as a prop, when it should
570 have the relevant frame/block/pc explicitly passed in.
571
572 The latter can be eliminated by correctly parameterizing the code,
573 the former though is more interesting. Per the "address" command,
574 it occurs in the CLI code and makes it possible for commands to
575 work, even when the inferior has no state. */

629 You might think that calls to this function can simply be replaced by a
630 call to get_selected_frame().
631
632 Unfortunately, it isn't that easy.
633
634 The relevant code needs to be audited to determine if it is
635 possible (or practical) to instead pass the applicable frame in as a
636 parameter. For instance, DEPRECATED_DO_REGISTERS_INFO() relied on
637 the deprecated_selected_frame global, while its replacement,
638 PRINT_REGISTERS_INFO(), is parameterized with the selected frame.
639 The only real exceptions occur at the edge (in the CLI code) where
640 user commands need to pick up the selected frame before proceeding.
641
642 There are also some functions called with a NULL frame meaning either "the
643 program is not running" or "use the selected frame".
644
645 This is important. GDB is trying to stamp out the hack:
646
647 saved_frame = deprecated_safe_get_selected_frame ();
648 select_frame (...);
649 hack_using_global_selected_frame ();
650 select_frame (saved_frame);
651
