384 On a RISC architecture, a void parameterless generic dummy

387 FP. Similarly, a frameless (possibly leaf) function does
388 not push anything on the stack and, hence, that too can
389 leave FP and SP unchanged. As a consequence, a sequence of
390 void parameterless generic dummy frame calls to frameless
391 functions will create a sequence of effectively identical
392 frames (SP, FP and TOS and PC the same). This, not
