-
- NOTE: cagney/2002-11-18: Actually, the frame address isn't
- sufficient for identifying a frame, and the counter examples are
- wrong!
-
- Code that needs to (re)identify a frame must use get_frame_id() and
- frame_find_by_id() (and in the future, a frame_compare() function
- instead of INNER_THAN()). Two reasons: an architecture (e.g.,
- ia64) can have more than one frame address (due to multiple stack
- pointers) (frame ID is going to be expanded to accomodate this);
- successive frameless function calls can only be differientated by
- comparing both the frame's base and the frame's enclosing function
- (frame_find_by_id() is going to be modified to perform this test).
-
- The generic dummy frame version of DEPRECATED_PC_IN_CALL_DUMMY() is
- able to identify a dummy frame using only the PC value. So the
- frame address is not needed. In fact, most
- DEPRECATED_PC_IN_CALL_DUMMY() calls now pass zero as the frame/sp
- values as the caller knows that those values won't be used. Once
- all architectures are using generic dummy frames,
- DEPRECATED_PC_IN_CALL_DUMMY() can drop the sp/frame parameters.
- When it comes to finding a dummy frame, the next frame's frame ID
- (with out duing an unwind) can be used (ok, could if it wasn't for
- the need to change the way the PPC defined frame base in a strange
- way).
-
- Modern architectures should be using something like dwarf2's
- location expression to describe where a variable lives. Such
- expressions specify their own debug info centric frame address.
- Consequently, a generic frame address is pretty meaningless. */
