-/* GENERIC DUMMY FRAMES
-
- The following code serves to maintain the dummy stack frames for
- inferior function calls (ie. when gdb calls into the inferior via
- call_function_by_hand). This code saves the machine state before
- the call in host memory, so we must maintain an independent stack
- and keep it consistant etc. I am attempting to make this code
- generic enough to be used by many targets.
-
- The cheapest and most generic way to do CALL_DUMMY on a new target
- is probably to define CALL_DUMMY to be empty, CALL_DUMMY_LENGTH to
- zero, and CALL_DUMMY_LOCATION to AT_ENTRY. Then you must remember
- to define PUSH_RETURN_ADDRESS, because no call instruction will be
- being executed by the target. Also DEPRECATED_FRAME_CHAIN_VALID as
- generic_{file,func}_frame_chain_valid and FIX_CALL_DUMMY as
- generic_fix_call_dummy. */

+/* NOTE: cagney/2004-08-02: This interface will eventually need to be
+ parameterized with the caller's thread - that will allow per-thread

+ calls. */
- This function is used by "frame.c" when creating a new `struct
- frame_info'.
+/* NOTE: cagney/2004-08-02: In the case of ABIs using push_dummy_code
+ containing more than one instruction, this interface many need to
+ be expanded so that it knowns the lower/upper extent of the dummy
+ frame's code. */
- Note that there is also very similar code in breakpoint.c (where
- the bpstat stop reason is computed). It is looking for a PC
- falling on a dummy_frame breakpoint. Perhaphs this, and that code
- should be combined?
+extern void dummy_frame_push (struct regcache *regcache,
+ const struct frame_id *dummy_id);
- Architecture dependant code, that has access to a frame, should not
- use this function. Instead (get_frame_type() == DUMMY_FRAME)
- should be used.
+extern void dummy_frame_pop (struct frame_id dummy_id);
- Hmm, but what about threads? When the dummy-frame code tries to
- relocate a dummy frame's saved registers it definitly needs to
- differentiate between threads (otherwize it will do things like
- clean-up the wrong threads frames). However, when just trying to
- identify a dummy-frame that shouldn't matter. The wost that can
- happen is that a thread is marked as sitting in a dummy frame when,
- in reality, its corrupted its stack, to the point that a PC is
- pointing into a dummy frame. */
