  25 <p class="p3">Frames are used to contain the arguments, variables and other information for active Functions.</p>
  26 <p class="p2"><br></p>
  27 <p class="p3">There are no instance variables or methods.</p>
  28 <p class="p2"><br></p>
  29 <p class="p3">Since Frames are often created on the stack, it is too dangerous to allow access to them. Dangling pointers could result.</p>

  31 <p class="p3">Frame instances are inaccessible to the user.</p>
  32 <p class="p2"><br></p>
  33 <p class="p3">For error handling routines, the relevant information from a Frame can be transferred into a DebugFrame object which can safely be inspected.</p>
