1581 Normally the resume address is inside the body of the function
1582 associated with THIS_FRAME, but there is a special case: when
1583 calling a function which the compiler knows will never return
1584 (for instance abort), the call may be the very last instruction
1585 in the calling function. The resume address will point after the
1586 call and may be at the beginning of a different function
1589 If THIS_FRAME is a signal frame or dummy frame, then we should
1590 not adjust the unwound PC. For a dummy frame, GDB pushed the
1591 resume address manually onto the stack. For a signal frame, the
1592 OS may have pushed the resume address manually and invoked the
1593 handler (e.g. GNU/Linux), or invoked the trampoline which called
1594 the signal handler - but in either case the signal handler is
1595 expected to return to the trampoline. So in both of these
1596 cases we know that the resume address is executable and
1597 related. So we only need to adjust the PC if THIS_FRAME
1598 is a normal function.
1600 If the program has been interrupted while THIS_FRAME is current,
1601 then clearly the resume address is inside the associated
1602 function. There are three kinds of interruption: debugger stop
1603 (next frame will be SENTINEL_FRAME), operating system
1604 signal or exception (next frame will be SIGTRAMP_FRAME),
1605 or debugger-induced function call (next frame will be
1606 DUMMY_FRAME). So we only need to adjust the PC if
1607 NEXT_FRAME is a normal function.
1609 We check the type of NEXT_FRAME first, since it is already
1610 known; frame type is determined by the unwinder, and since
1611 we have THIS_FRAME we've already selected an unwinder for
