/* This structure maintains information on a per-objfile basis about the
"entry point" of the objfile, and the scope within which the entry point
to the user executable's recorded entry point, as if the call had been made
directly by the kernel.
- The traditional gdb method of using this info is to use the recorded entry
- point to set the variables entry_file_lowpc and entry_file_highpc from
- the debugging information, where these values are the starting address
- (inclusive) and ending address (exclusive) of the instruction space in the
- executable which correspond to the "startup file", I.E. crt0.o in most
- cases. This file is assumed to be a startup file and frames with pc's
- inside it are treated as nonexistent. Setting these variables is necessary
- so that backtraces do not fly off the bottom of the stack.

+ to deprecated_inside_entry_file destroys a meaningful backtrace
+ under some conditions. E. g. the backtrace tests in the asm-source
+ testcase are broken for some targets. In this test the functions
+ are all implemented as part of one file and the testcase is not
+ necessarily linked with a start file (depending on the target).
+ What happens is, that the first frame is printed normaly and
+ following frames are treated as being inside the enttry file then.
+ This way, only the #0 frame is printed in the backtrace output.''

Gdb also supports an alternate method to avoid running off the bottom
of the stack.
confused. However, we almost always have debugging information
available for main().

- point function as the outermost frame when debugging startup code, then
- all we have to do is have FRAME_CHAIN_VALID return false whenever a
- frame's current PC is within the range specified by these variables.

A nice side effect is that we can still debug startup code without
information but we do have usable information for main(), backtraces
from user code don't go wandering off into the startup code.
