23 /* The following is the intended naming schema for frame functions.
24 It isn't 100% consistent, but it is aproaching that. Frame naming
25 schema:
27 Prefixes:
29 get_frame_WHAT...(): Get WHAT from the THIS frame (functionaly
30 equivalent to THIS->next->unwind->what)
32 frame_unwind_WHAT...(): Unwind THIS frame's WHAT from the NEXT
33 frame.
35 frame_unwind_caller_WHAT...(): Unwind WHAT for NEXT stack frame's
36 real caller. Any inlined functions in NEXT's stack frame are
37 skipped. Use these to ignore any potentially inlined functions,
38 e.g. inlined into the first instruction of a library trampoline.
40 get_stack_frame_WHAT...(): Get WHAT for THIS frame, but if THIS is
41 inlined, skip to the containing stack frame.
43 put_frame_WHAT...(): Put a value into this frame (unsafe, need to
44 invalidate the frame / regcache afterwards) (better name more
45 strongly hinting at its unsafeness)
47 safe_....(): Safer version of various functions, doesn't throw an
48 error (leave this for later?). Returns non-zero / non-NULL if the
49 request succeeds, zero / NULL otherwize.
51 Suffixes:
53 void /frame/_WHAT(): Read WHAT's value into the buffer parameter.
55 ULONGEST /frame/_WHAT_unsigned(): Return an unsigned value (the
56 alternative is *frame_unsigned_WHAT).
58 LONGEST /frame/_WHAT_signed(): Return WHAT signed value.
60 What:
62 /frame/_memory* (frame, coreaddr, len [, buf]): Extract/return
63 *memory.
65 /frame/_register* (frame, regnum [, buf]): extract/return register.
67 CORE_ADDR /frame/_{pc,sp,...} (frame): Resume address, innner most
68 stack *address, ...

375 frameless function requires both a stack and function address,

633 No state? Does the inferior have any execution state (a core file

635 `target_has_stack' but I'm left wondering if it should test
636 `target_has_registers' or, even, a merged target_has_state.
638 Should it look at the most recently specified SAL? If the target
639 has no state, should this function try to extract a block from the
640 most recently selected SAL? That way `list foo' would give it some
641 sort of reference point. Then again, perhaps that would confuse
642 things.

645 that uses the selected block as an additional, but optional, data
646 point; Code that uses the selected block as a prop, when it should
647 have the relevant frame/block/pc explicitly passed in.
649 The latter can be eliminated by correctly parameterizing the code,

735 You might think that calls to this function can simply be replaced by a
736 call to get_selected_frame().
738 Unfortunately, it isn't that easy.
740 The relevant code needs to be audited to determine if it is
741 possible (or practical) to instead pass the applicable frame in as a
742 parameter. For instance, DEPRECATED_DO_REGISTERS_INFO() relied on
743 the deprecated_selected_frame global, while its replacement,
744 PRINT_REGISTERS_INFO(), is parameterized with the selected frame.
745 The only real exceptions occur at the edge (in the CLI code) where
746 user commands need to pick up the selected frame before proceeding.
748 There are also some functions called with a NULL frame meaning either "the
749 program is not running" or "use the selected frame".
751 This is important. GDB is trying to stamp out the hack:
753 saved_frame = deprecated_safe_get_selected_frame ();
754 select_frame (...);
755 hack_using_global_selected_frame ();
