25 It isn't 100% consistent, but it is aproaching that. Frame naming
30 get_frame_WHAT...(): Get WHAT from the THIS frame (functionaly
31 equivalent to THIS->next->unwind->what)
33 frame_unwind_WHAT...(): Unwind THIS frame's WHAT from the NEXT
36 frame_unwind_caller_WHAT...(): Unwind WHAT for NEXT stack frame's
37 real caller. Any inlined functions in NEXT's stack frame are
38 skipped. Use these to ignore any potentially inlined functions,
39 e.g. inlined into the first instruction of a library trampoline.
41 get_stack_frame_WHAT...(): Get WHAT for THIS frame, but if THIS is
42 inlined, skip to the containing stack frame.
44 put_frame_WHAT...(): Put a value into this frame (unsafe, need to
45 invalidate the frame / regcache afterwards) (better name more
46 strongly hinting at its unsafeness)
48 safe_....(): Safer version of various functions, doesn't throw an
49 error (leave this for later?). Returns non-zero / non-NULL if the
50 request succeeds, zero / NULL otherwize.
54 void /frame/_WHAT(): Read WHAT's value into the buffer parameter.
56 ULONGEST /frame/_WHAT_unsigned(): Return an unsigned value (the
57 alternative is *frame_unsigned_WHAT).
59 LONGEST /frame/_WHAT_signed(): Return WHAT signed value.
63 /frame/_memory* (frame, coreaddr, len [, buf]): Extract/return
66 /frame/_register* (frame, regnum [, buf]): extract/return register.
68 CORE_ADDR /frame/_{pc,sp,...} (frame): Resume address, innner most

369 identify a frame. This value is determined by the frame's

373 frameless function requires both a stack and function address,

629 NOTE: cagney/2002-11-29:
631 No state? Does the inferior have any execution state (a core file
632 does, an executable does not). At present the code tests
633 `target_has_stack' but I'm left wondering if it should test
634 `target_has_registers' or, even, a merged target_has_state.
636 Should it look at the most recently specified SAL? If the target
637 has no state, should this function try to extract a block from the
638 most recently selected SAL? That way `list foo' would give it some
639 sort of reference point. Then again, perhaps that would confuse
642 Calls to this function can be broken down into two categories: Code
643 that uses the selected block as an additional, but optional, data
644 point; Code that uses the selected block as a prop, when it should
645 have the relevant frame/block/pc explicitly passed in.
647 The latter can be eliminated by correctly parameterizing the code,
648 the former though is more interesting. Per the "address" command,
649 it occurs in the CLI code and makes it possible for commands to
650 work, even when the inferior has no state. */

747 You might think that calls to this function can simply be replaced by a
748 call to get_selected_frame().
750 Unfortunately, it isn't that easy.
752 The relevant code needs to be audited to determine if it is
753 possible (or practical) to instead pass the applicable frame in as a
754 parameter. For instance, DEPRECATED_DO_REGISTERS_INFO() relied on
755 the deprecated_selected_frame global, while its replacement,
756 PRINT_REGISTERS_INFO(), is parameterized with the selected frame.
757 The only real exceptions occur at the edge (in the CLI code) where
758 user commands need to pick up the selected frame before proceeding.
760 There are also some functions called with a NULL frame meaning either "the
761 program is not running" or "use the selected frame".
763 This is important. GDB is trying to stamp out the hack:
765 saved_frame = deprecated_safe_get_selected_frame ();
767 hack_using_global_selected_frame ();
768 select_frame (saved_frame);
772 This function calls get_selected_frame if the inferior should have a
