/* The following is the intended naming schema for frame functions.
   It isn't 100% consistent, but it is aproaching that.  Frame naming
   schema:

   Prefixes:

   get_frame_WHAT...(): Get WHAT from the THIS frame (functionaly
   equivalent to THIS->next->unwind->what)

   frame_unwind_WHAT...(): Unwind THIS frame's WHAT from the NEXT
   frame.

   frame_unwind_caller_WHAT...(): Unwind WHAT for NEXT stack frame's
   real caller.  Any inlined functions in NEXT's stack frame are
   skipped.  Use these to ignore any potentially inlined functions,
   e.g. inlined into the first instruction of a library trampoline.

   get_stack_frame_WHAT...(): Get WHAT for THIS frame, but if THIS is
   inlined, skip to the containing stack frame.

   put_frame_WHAT...(): Put a value into this frame (unsafe, need to
   invalidate the frame / regcache afterwards) (better name more
   strongly hinting at its unsafeness)

   safe_....(): Safer version of various functions, doesn't throw an
   error (leave this for later?).  Returns non-zero / non-NULL if the
   request succeeds, zero / NULL otherwize.

   Suffixes:

   void /frame/_WHAT(): Read WHAT's value into the buffer parameter.

   ULONGEST /frame/_WHAT_unsigned(): Return an unsigned value (the
   alternative is *frame_unsigned_WHAT).

   LONGEST /frame/_WHAT_signed(): Return WHAT signed value.

   What:

   /frame/_memory* (frame, coreaddr, len [, buf]): Extract/return
   *memory.

   /frame/_register* (frame, regnum [, buf]): extract/return register.

   CORE_ADDR /frame/_{pc,sp,...} (frame): Resume address, innner most
   stack *address, ...

   get_frame_id: A low level frame unique identifier, that consists of
   both a stack and a function address, that can be used to uniquely
   identify a frame.  This value is determined by the frame's
   low-level unwinder, the stack part [typically] being the
   top-of-stack of the previous frame, and the function part being the
   function's start address.  Since the correct identification of a
   frameless function requires both a stack and function address,
   the old get_frame_base method was not sufficient.

   get_frame_base_address: get_frame_locals_address:
   get_frame_args_address: A set of high-level debug-info dependant
   addresses that fall within the frame.  These addresses almost
   certainly will not match the stack address part of a frame ID (as
   returned by get_frame_base).

   NOTE: cagney/2002-11-29:

   No state?  Does the inferior have any execution state (a core file
   does, an executable does not).  At present the code tests
   `target_has_stack' but I'm left wondering if it should test
   `target_has_registers' or, even, a merged target_has_state.

   Should it look at the most recently specified SAL?  If the target
   has no state, should this function try to extract a block from the
   most recently selected SAL?  That way `list foo' would give it some
   sort of reference point.  Then again, perhaps that would confuse
   things.

   Calls to this function can be broken down into two categories: Code
   that uses the selected block as an additional, but optional, data
   point; Code that uses the selected block as a prop, when it should
   have the relevant frame/block/pc explicitly passed in.

   The latter can be eliminated by correctly parameterizing the code,
   the former though is more interesting.  Per the "address" command,
   it occurs in the CLI code and makes it possible for commands to
   work, even when the inferior has no state.  */

/* Notes (cagney/2002-11-27, drow/2003-09-06):

   You might think that calls to this function can simply be replaced by a
   call to get_selected_frame().

   Unfortunately, it isn't that easy.

   The relevant code needs to be audited to determine if it is
   possible (or practical) to instead pass the applicable frame in as a
   parameter.  For instance, DEPRECATED_DO_REGISTERS_INFO() relied on
   the deprecated_selected_frame global, while its replacement,
   PRINT_REGISTERS_INFO(), is parameterized with the selected frame.
   The only real exceptions occur at the edge (in the CLI code) where
   user commands need to pick up the selected frame before proceeding.

   There are also some functions called with a NULL frame meaning either "the
   program is not running" or "use the selected frame".

   This is important.  GDB is trying to stamp out the hack:

   saved_frame = deprecated_safe_get_selected_frame ();
   select_frame (...);
   hack_using_global_selected_frame ();
   select_frame (saved_frame);

   Take care!
