+ (for instance abort), the call may be the very last instruction
+ in the calling function. The resume address will point after the
+ call and may be at the beginning of a different function
+ entirely.
+
+ If THIS_FRAME is a signal frame or dummy frame, then we should
+ not adjust the unwound PC. For a dummy frame, GDB pushed the
+ resume address manually onto the stack. For a signal frame, the
+ OS may have pushed the resume address manually and invoked the
+ handler (e.g. GNU/Linux), or invoked the trampoline which called
+ the signal handler - but in either case the signal handler is
+ expected to return to the trampoline. So in both of these
+ cases we know that the resume address is executable and
+ related. So we only need to adjust the PC if THIS_FRAME
+ is a normal function.
+
+ If the program has been interrupted while THIS_FRAME is current,
+ then clearly the resume address is inside the associated
+ function. There are three kinds of interruption: debugger stop
+ (next frame will be SENTINEL_FRAME), operating system
+ signal or exception (next frame will be SIGTRAMP_FRAME),
+ or debugger-induced function call (next frame will be
+ DUMMY_FRAME). So we only need to adjust the PC if
+ NEXT_FRAME is a normal function.
+
+ We check the type of NEXT_FRAME first, since it is already
+ known; frame type is determined by the unwinder, and since
+ we have THIS_FRAME we've already selected an unwinder for
