52# In a nutshell: the function 'beta' ends with a call to 'abort', which
53# is a noreturn function. So the last instruction of 'beta' is a call
54# to 'abort'. When gdb looks for information about the caller of
55# 'beta', it looks at the instruction after the call to 'abort' -- which
56# is the first instruction of 'alpha'! So gdb uses the wrong frame
57# information. It thinks that the test program is in 'alpha' and that
58# the prologue "push %ebp / mov %esp,%ebp" has not been executed yet,
59# and grabs the wrong values.
60#
61# By the nature of the bug, it could pass if the C compiler is not smart
62# enough to implement 'abort' as a noreturn function. This is okay.
63# The real point is that users often put breakpoints on noreturn
64# functions such as 'abort' or some kind of exitting function, and those
65# breakpoints should work.
