761 On a RISC architecture, a void parameterless generic dummy
762 frame (i.e., no parameters, no result) typically does not
763 need to push anything the stack and hence can leave SP and
764 FP. Similarly, a frameless (possibly leaf) function does
765 not push anything on the stack and, hence, that too can
766 leave FP and SP unchanged. As a consequence, a sequence of
767 void parameterless generic dummy frame calls to frameless
768 functions will create a sequence of effectively identical
769 frames (SP, FP and TOS and PC the same). This, not
770 suprisingly, results in what appears to be a stack in an
771 infinite loop --- when GDB tries to find a generic dummy
772 frame on the internal dummy frame stack, it will always
