34 frame_unwind_WHAT...(): Unwind THIS frame's WHAT from the NEXT
37 put_frame_WHAT...(): Put a value into this frame (unsafe, need to
38 invalidate the frame / regcache afterwards) (better name more
39 strongly hinting at its unsafeness)
41 safe_....(): Safer version of various functions, doesn't throw an
42 error (leave this for later?). Returns non-zero / non-NULL if the
43 request succeeds, zero / NULL otherwize.
47 void /frame/_WHAT(): Read WHAT's value into the buffer parameter.
49 ULONGEST /frame/_WHAT_unsigned(): Return an unsigned value (the
50 alternative is *frame_unsigned_WHAT).
52 LONGEST /frame/_WHAT_signed(): Return WHAT signed value.
56 /frame/_memory* (frame, coreaddr, len [, buf]): Extract/return
59 /frame/_register* (frame, regnum [, buf]): extract/return register.

323 Old code was trying to use this single method for two conflicting

326 get_frame_id: A low level frame unique identifier, that consists of
327 both a stack and a function address, that can be used to uniquely
328 identify a frame. This value is determined by the frame's
329 low-level unwinder, the stack part [typically] being the
330 top-of-stack of the previous frame, and the function part being the
331 function's start address. Since the correct identification of a
332 frameless function requires both the a stack and function address,
333 the old get_frame_base method was not sufficient.
335 get_frame_base_address: get_frame_locals_address:
336 get_frame_args_address: A set of high-level debug-info dependant
337 addresses that fall within the frame. These addresses almost
338 certainly will not match the stack address part of a frame ID (as

660 You might think that calls to this function can simply be replaced by a
661 call to get_selected_frame().
663 Unfortunately, it isn't that easy.
665 The relevant code needs to be audited to determine if it is
666 possible (or practical) to instead pass the applicable frame in as a
667 parameter. For instance, DEPRECATED_DO_REGISTERS_INFO() relied on
668 the deprecated_selected_frame global, while its replacement,
669 PRINT_REGISTERS_INFO(), is parameterized with the selected frame.
670 The only real exceptions occur at the edge (in the CLI code) where
671 user commands need to pick up the selected frame before proceeding.
673 There are also some functions called with a NULL frame meaning either "the
674 program is not running" or "use the selected frame".
676 This is important. GDB is trying to stamp out the hack:
678 saved_frame = deprecated_safe_get_selected_frame ();
680 hack_using_global_selected_frame ();
681 select_frame (saved_frame);
685 This function calls get_selected_frame if the inferior should have a
686 frame, or returns NULL otherwise. */
