23 /* The following is the intended naming schema for frame functions.
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.
62 /frame/_memory* (frame, coreaddr, len [, buf]): Extract/return
65 /frame/_register* (frame, regnum [, buf]): extract/return register.

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

802 You might think that calls to this function can simply be replaced by a
803 call to get_selected_frame().
805 Unfortunately, it isn't that easy.
807 The relevant code needs to be audited to determine if it is
808 possible (or practical) to instead pass the applicable frame in as a
809 parameter. For instance, DEPRECATED_DO_REGISTERS_INFO() relied on
810 the deprecated_selected_frame global, while its replacement,
811 PRINT_REGISTERS_INFO(), is parameterized with the selected frame.
812 The only real exceptions occur at the edge (in the CLI code) where
813 user commands need to pick up the selected frame before proceeding.
815 There are also some functions called with a NULL frame meaning either "the
816 program is not running" or "use the selected frame".
818 This is important. GDB is trying to stamp out the hack:
820 saved_frame = deprecated_safe_get_selected_frame ();
822 hack_using_global_selected_frame ();
823 select_frame (saved_frame);
