1809 calling a function which the compiler knows will never return
1810 (for instance abort), the call may be the very last instruction
1811 in the calling function. The resume address will point after the
1812 call and may be at the beginning of a different function
1815 If THIS_FRAME is a signal frame or dummy frame, then we should
1816 not adjust the unwound PC. For a dummy frame, GDB pushed the
1817 resume address manually onto the stack. For a signal frame, the
1818 OS may have pushed the resume address manually and invoked the
1819 handler (e.g. GNU/Linux), or invoked the trampoline which called
1820 the signal handler - but in either case the signal handler is
1821 expected to return to the trampoline. So in both of these
1822 cases we know that the resume address is executable and
1823 related. So we only need to adjust the PC if THIS_FRAME
1824 is a normal function.
1826 If the program has been interrupted while THIS_FRAME is current,
1827 then clearly the resume address is inside the associated
1828 function. There are three kinds of interruption: debugger stop
1829 (next frame will be SENTINEL_FRAME), operating system
1830 signal or exception (next frame will be SIGTRAMP_FRAME),
1831 or debugger-induced function call (next frame will be
1832 DUMMY_FRAME). So we only need to adjust the PC if
1833 NEXT_FRAME is a normal function.
1835 We check the type of NEXT_FRAME first, since it is already
1836 known; frame type is determined by the unwinder, and since
1837 we have THIS_FRAME we've already selected an unwinder for
1840 If the next frame is inlined, we need to keep going until we find
1841 the real function - for instance, if a signal handler is invoked
1842 while in an inlined function, then the code address of the
