* frame.h (FRAME_OBSTACK_ZALLOC): Define. * blockframe.c (backtrace_below_main): Move to "frame.c". (frame_chain_valid): Delete check for backtrace_below_main. (_initialize_blockframe): Delete initialization, move ``set backtrace-below-main'' command to "frame.c". (do_flush_frames_sfunc): Delete function. * frame.c: Include "command.h" and "gdbcmd.h". (frame_type_from_pc): New function. (create_new_frame): Use frame_type_from_pc. (legacy_get_prev_frame): New function. (get_prev_frame): Rewrite. When an old style frame, call legacy_get_prev_frame. Otherwize, unwind the PC first. (_initialize_frame): Add ``set backtrace-below-main'' command. * Makefile.in (frame.o): Update dependencies.
