23 /* The following is the intended naming schema for frame functions.
24 It isn't 100% consistent, but it is approaching that. Frame naming
25 schema:
27 Prefixes:
29 get_frame_WHAT...(): Get WHAT from the THIS frame (functionally
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 true / non-NULL if the request
49 succeeds, false / NULL otherwise.
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, ...
