24 It isn't 100% consistent, but it is aproaching that. Frame naming
29 get_frame_WHAT...(): Get WHAT from the THIS frame (functionaly
30 equivalent to THIS->next->unwind->what)
32 frame_unwind_WHAT...(): Unwind THIS frame's WHAT from the NEXT
35 frame_unwind_caller_WHAT...(): Unwind WHAT for NEXT stack frame's
36 real caller. Any inlined functions in NEXT's stack frame are
37 skipped. Use these to ignore any potentially inlined functions,
38 e.g. inlined into the first instruction of a library trampoline.
40 get_stack_frame_WHAT...(): Get WHAT for THIS frame, but if THIS is
41 inlined, skip to the containing stack frame.
43 put_frame_WHAT...(): Put a value into this frame (unsafe, need to
44 invalidate the frame / regcache afterwards) (better name more
45 strongly hinting at its unsafeness)
47 safe_....(): Safer version of various functions, doesn't throw an
48 error (leave this for later?). Returns non-zero / non-NULL if the
49 request succeeds, zero / NULL otherwize.
53 void /frame/_WHAT(): Read WHAT's value into the buffer parameter.
55 ULONGEST /frame/_WHAT_unsigned(): Return an unsigned value (the
56 alternative is *frame_unsigned_WHAT).
58 LONGEST /frame/_WHAT_signed(): Return WHAT signed value.

65 /frame/_register* (frame, regnum [, buf]): extract/return register.

680 `target_has_stack' but I'm left wondering if it should test
681 `target_has_registers' or, even, a merged target_has_state.
683 Should it look at the most recently specified SAL? If the target

685 most recently selected SAL? That way `list foo' would give it some
686 sort of reference point. Then again, perhaps that would confuse

690 that uses the selected block as an additional, but optional, data

694 The latter can be eliminated by correctly parameterizing the code,

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