/* This structure maintains information on a per-objfile basis about the
   "entry point" of the objfile, and the scope within which the entry point
   exists.  It is possible that gdb will see more than one objfile that is
   executable, each with its own entry point.

   For example, for dynamically linked executables in SVR4, the dynamic linker
   code is contained within the shared C library, which is actually executable
   and is run by the kernel first when an exec is done of a user executable
   that is dynamically linked.  The dynamic linker within the shared C library
   then maps in the various program segments in the user executable and jumps
   to the user executable's recorded entry point, as if the call had been made
   directly by the kernel.

   The traditional gdb method of using this info is to use the recorded entry
   point to set the variables entry_file_lowpc and entry_file_highpc from
   the debugging information, where these values are the starting address
   (inclusive) and ending address (exclusive) of the instruction space in the
   executable which correspond to the "startup file", I.E. crt0.o in most
   cases.  This file is assumed to be a startup file and frames with pc's
   inside it are treated as nonexistent.  Setting these variables is necessary
   so that backtraces do not fly off the bottom of the stack.

   Gdb also supports an alternate method to avoid running off the bottom
   of the stack.

   There are two frames that are "special", the frame for the function
   containing the process entry point, since it has no predecessor frame,
   and the frame for the function containing the user code entry point
   (the main() function), since all the predecessor frames are for the
   process startup code.  Since we have no guarantee that the linked
   in startup modules have any debugging information that gdb can use,
   we need to avoid following frame pointers back into frames that might
   have been built in the startup code, as we might get hopelessly 
   confused.  However, we almost always have debugging information
   available for main().

   These variables are used to save the range of PC values which are valid
   within the main() function and within the function containing the process
   entry point.  If we always consider the frame for main() as the outermost
   frame when debugging user code, and the frame for the process entry
   point function as the outermost frame when debugging startup code, then
   all we have to do is have FRAME_CHAIN_VALID return false whenever a
   frame's current PC is within the range specified by these variables.
   In essence, we set "ceilings" in the frame chain beyond which we will
   not proceed when following the frame chain back up the stack.

   A nice side effect is that we can still debug startup code without
   running off the end of the frame chain, assuming that we have usable
   debugging information in the startup modules, and if we choose to not
   use the block at main, or can't find it for some reason, everything
   still works as before.  And if we have no startup code debugging
   information but we do have usable information for main(), backtraces
   from user code don't go wandering off into the startup code.

   To use this method, define your FRAME_CHAIN_VALID macro like:

   #define FRAME_CHAIN_VALID(chain, thisframe)     \
   (chain != 0                                   \
   && !(inside_main_func ((thisframe)->pc))     \
   && !(inside_entry_func ((thisframe)->pc)))

   and add initializations of the four scope controlling variables inside
   the object file / debugging information processing modules.  */
