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 frame_unwind_caller_WHAT...(): Unwind WHAT for NEXT stack frame's
38 real caller. Any inlined functions in NEXT's stack frame are
39 skipped. Use these to ignore any potentially inlined functions,
40 e.g. inlined into the first instruction of a library trampoline.
41
42 get_stack_frame_WHAT...(): Get WHAT for THIS frame, but if THIS is
43 inlined, skip to the containing stack frame.
44
45 put_frame_WHAT...(): Put a value into this frame (unsafe, need to
46 invalidate the frame / regcache afterwards) (better name more
47 strongly hinting at its unsafeness)
48
49 safe_....(): Safer version of various functions, doesn't throw an
50 error (leave this for later?). Returns non-zero / non-NULL if the
51 request succeeds, zero / NULL otherwize.
52
53 Suffixes:
54
55 void /frame/_WHAT(): Read WHAT's value into the buffer parameter.
56
57 ULONGEST /frame/_WHAT_unsigned(): Return an unsigned value (the
58 alternative is *frame_unsigned_WHAT).
59
60 LONGEST /frame/_WHAT_signed(): Return WHAT signed value.
61
62 What:
63
64 /frame/_memory* (frame, coreaddr, len [, buf]): Extract/return
65 *memory.
66
67 /frame/_register* (frame, regnum [, buf]): extract/return register.
68
69 CORE_ADDR /frame/_{pc,sp,...} (frame): Resume address, innner most

343 identify a frame. This value is determined by the frame's
344 low-level unwinder, the stack part [typically] being the
345 top-of-stack of the previous frame, and the function part being the
346 function's start address. Since the correct identification of a
347 frameless function requires both the a stack and function address,
348 the old get_frame_base method was not sufficient.

351 get_frame_args_address: A set of high-level debug-info dependant
352 addresses that fall within the frame. These addresses almost
353 certainly will not match the stack address part of a frame ID (as

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

624

684
685 Unfortunately, it isn't that easy.
686
687 The relevant code needs to be audited to determine if it is
688 possible (or practical) to instead pass the applicable frame in as a
689 parameter. For instance, DEPRECATED_DO_REGISTERS_INFO() relied on
690 the deprecated_selected_frame global, while its replacement,
691 PRINT_REGISTERS_INFO(), is parameterized with the selected frame.
692 The only real exceptions occur at the edge (in the CLI code) where
693 user commands need to pick up the selected frame before proceeding.
694
695 There are also some functions called with a NULL frame meaning either "the
696 program is not running" or "use the selected frame".
697

702 hack_using_global_selected_frame ();
