1694 Normally the resume address is inside the body of the function
1695 associated with THIS_FRAME, but there is a special case: when
1696 calling a function which the compiler knows will never return
1697 (for instance abort), the call may be the very last instruction
1698 in the calling function. The resume address will point after the
1699 call and may be at the beginning of a different function
1702 If THIS_FRAME is a signal frame or dummy frame, then we should
1703 not adjust the unwound PC. For a dummy frame, GDB pushed the
1704 resume address manually onto the stack. For a signal frame, the
1705 OS may have pushed the resume address manually and invoked the
1706 handler (e.g. GNU/Linux), or invoked the trampoline which called
1707 the signal handler - but in either case the signal handler is
1708 expected to return to the trampoline. So in both of these
1709 cases we know that the resume address is executable and
1710 related. So we only need to adjust the PC if THIS_FRAME
1711 is a normal function.
1713 If the program has been interrupted while THIS_FRAME is current,
1714 then clearly the resume address is inside the associated
1715 function. There are three kinds of interruption: debugger stop
1716 (next frame will be SENTINEL_FRAME), operating system
1717 signal or exception (next frame will be SIGTRAMP_FRAME),
1718 or debugger-induced function call (next frame will be
1719 DUMMY_FRAME). So we only need to adjust the PC if
1720 NEXT_FRAME is a normal function.
1722 We check the type of NEXT_FRAME first, since it is already
1723 known; frame type is determined by the unwinder, and since
1724 we have THIS_FRAME we've already selected an unwinder for
1727 If the next frame is inlined, we need to keep going until we find
1728 the real function - for instance, if a signal handler is invoked
1729 while in an inlined function, then the code address of the
