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

375 frameless function requires both a stack and function address,

626 No state? Does the inferior have any execution state (a core file
627 does, an executable does not). At present the code tests
628 `target_has_stack' but I'm left wondering if it should test
629 `target_has_registers' or, even, a merged target_has_state.
631 Should it look at the most recently specified SAL? If the target
632 has no state, should this function try to extract a block from the
633 most recently selected SAL? That way `list foo' would give it some
634 sort of reference point. Then again, perhaps that would confuse
635 things.

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

772 You might think that calls to this function can simply be replaced by a
773 call to get_selected_frame().
775 Unfortunately, it isn't that easy.
777 The relevant code needs to be audited to determine if it is
778 possible (or practical) to instead pass the applicable frame in as a
779 parameter. For instance, DEPRECATED_DO_REGISTERS_INFO() relied on
780 the deprecated_selected_frame global, while its replacement,
781 PRINT_REGISTERS_INFO(), is parameterized with the selected frame.
782 The only real exceptions occur at the edge (in the CLI code) where
783 user commands need to pick up the selected frame before proceeding.
785 There are also some functions called with a NULL frame meaning either "the
786 program is not running" or "use the selected frame".
788 This is important. GDB is trying to stamp out the hack:
790 saved_frame = deprecated_safe_get_selected_frame ();
791 select_frame (...);
792 hack_using_global_selected_frame ();
