* frame.h (struct frame_id): Replace "pc" and "base" with "stack_addr" and "code_addr". Update comments. (frame_id_build): Update parameter names and comment. (struct frame_info): Replace "id_p" and "id" with "this_id". * dummy-frame.c (dummy_frame_this_id): Update. * breakpoint.c (print_one_breakpoint): Update. * frame.c (get_frame_id): Update. (get_frame_base, frame_id_build): Update. (create_sentinel_frame, legacy_get_prev_frame): Update. (deprecated_update_frame_base_hack): Update. (frame_id_p, frame_id_eq): Rework, return 0 when an invalid ID. (frame_id_inner): Ditto.
