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.

338 identify a frame. This value is determined by the frame's

602
603 No state? Does the inferior have any execution state (a core file

605 `target_has_stack' but I'm left wondering if it should test
606 `target_has_registers' or, even, a merged target_has_state.

609 has no state, should this function try to extract a block from the

611 sort of reference point. Then again, perhaps that would confuse

613

615 that uses the selected block as an additional, but optional, data

618

674

676
677 The relevant code needs to be audited to determine if it is
678 possible (or practical) to instead pass the applicable frame in as a
679 parameter. For instance, DEPRECATED_DO_REGISTERS_INFO() relied on
680 the deprecated_selected_frame global, while its replacement,
681 PRINT_REGISTERS_INFO(), is parameterized with the selected frame.
682 The only real exceptions occur at the edge (in the CLI code) where
683 user commands need to pick up the selected frame before proceeding.
684
685 There are also some functions called with a NULL frame meaning either "the
686 program is not running" or "use the selected frame".
687
