  23 /* The following is the intended naming schema for frame functions.
  24    It isn't 100% consistent, but it is aproaching that.  Frame naming
  25    schema:
  26
  27    Prefixes:
  28
  29    get_frame_WHAT...(): Get WHAT from the THIS frame (functionaly
  30    equivalent to THIS->next->unwind->what)
  31
  32    frame_unwind_WHAT...(): Unwind THIS frame's WHAT from the NEXT
  33    frame.
  34
  35    frame_unwind_caller_WHAT...(): Unwind WHAT for NEXT stack frame's
  36    real caller.  Any inlined functions in NEXT's stack frame are
  37    skipped.  Use these to ignore any potentially inlined functions,
  38    e.g. inlined into the first instruction of a library trampoline.
  39
  40    get_stack_frame_WHAT...(): Get WHAT for THIS frame, but if THIS is
  41    inlined, skip to the containing stack frame.
  42
  43    put_frame_WHAT...(): Put a value into this frame (unsafe, need to
  44    invalidate the frame / regcache afterwards) (better name more
  45    strongly hinting at its unsafeness)
  46
  47    safe_....(): Safer version of various functions, doesn't throw an
  48    error (leave this for later?).  Returns non-zero / non-NULL if the
  49    request succeeds, zero / NULL otherwize.
  50
  51    Suffixes:
  52
  53    void /frame/_WHAT(): Read WHAT's value into the buffer parameter.
  54
  55    ULONGEST /frame/_WHAT_unsigned(): Return an unsigned value (the
  56    alternative is *frame_unsigned_WHAT).
  57
  58    LONGEST /frame/_WHAT_signed(): Return WHAT signed value.
  59
  60    What:
  61
  62    /frame/_memory* (frame, coreaddr, len [, buf]): Extract/return
  63    *memory.
  64

 740    Unfortunately, it isn't that easy.

 742    The relevant code needs to be audited to determine if it is
 743    possible (or practical) to instead pass the applicable frame in as a

 745    the deprecated_selected_frame global, while its replacement,

 747    The only real exceptions occur at the edge (in the CLI code) where
 748    user commands need to pick up the selected frame before proceeding.
 749
 750    There are also some functions called with a NULL frame meaning either "the
 751    program is not running" or "use the selected frame".
 752
