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

308 identify a frame. This value is determined by the frame's
309 low-level unwinder, the stack part [typically] being the
310 top-of-stack of the previous frame, and the function part being the
311 function's start address. Since the correct identification of a
312 frameless function requires both the a stack and function address,
313 the old get_frame_base method was not sufficient.
314

316 get_frame_args_address: A set of high-level debug-info dependant
317 addresses that fall within the frame. These addresses almost

530 NOTE: cagney/2002-11-29:
531
532 No state? Does the inferior have any execution state (a core file
533 does, an executable does not). At present the code tests
534 `target_has_stack' but I'm left wondering if it should test
535 `target_has_registers' or, even, a merged target_has_state.
536
537 Should it look at the most recently specified SAL? If the target
538 has no state, should this function try to extract a block from the
539 most recently selected SAL? That way `list foo' would give it some
540 sort of reference point. Then again, perhaps that would confuse
541 things.
542
543 Calls to this function can be broken down into two categories: Code
544 that uses the selected block as an additional, but optional, data
545 point; Code that uses the selected block as a prop, when it should
546 have the relevant frame/block/pc explicitly passed in.
547
548 The latter can be eliminated by correctly parameterizing the code,
549 the former though is more interesting. Per the "address" command,
550 it occurs in the CLI code and makes it possible for commands to
551 work, even when the inferior has no state. */

601 You might think that the below global can simply be replaced by a
602 call to either get_selected_frame() or select_frame().
603
604 Unfortunately, it isn't that easy.
605
606 The relevant code needs to be audited to determine if it is
607 possible (or practical) to instead pass the applicable frame in as a
608 parameter. For instance, DEPRECATED_DO_REGISTERS_INFO() relied on
609 the deprecated_selected_frame global, while its replacement,
610 PRINT_REGISTERS_INFO(), is parameterized with the selected frame.
611 The only real exceptions occur at the edge (in the CLI code) where
612 user commands need to pick up the selected frame before proceeding.
613
