23/* The following is the intended naming schema for frame functions.
24   It isn't 100% consistent, but it is aproaching that.  Frame naming
25   schema:
26
27   Prefixes:
28
29   get_frame_WHAT...(): Get WHAT from the THIS frame (functionaly
30   equivalent to THIS->next->unwind->what)
31
32   frame_unwind_WHAT...(): Unwind THIS frame's WHAT from the NEXT
33   frame.
34
35   frame_unwind_caller_WHAT...(): Unwind WHAT for NEXT stack frame's
36   real caller.  Any inlined functions in NEXT's stack frame are
37   skipped.  Use these to ignore any potentially inlined functions,
38   e.g. inlined into the first instruction of a library trampoline.
39
40   get_stack_frame_WHAT...(): Get WHAT for THIS frame, but if THIS is
41   inlined, skip to the containing stack frame.
42
43   put_frame_WHAT...(): Put a value into this frame (unsafe, need to
44   invalidate the frame / regcache afterwards) (better name more
45   strongly hinting at its unsafeness)
46
47   safe_....(): Safer version of various functions, doesn't throw an
48   error (leave this for later?).  Returns non-zero / non-NULL if the
49   request succeeds, zero / NULL otherwize.
50
51   Suffixes:
52
53   void /frame/_WHAT(): Read WHAT's value into the buffer parameter.
54
55   ULONGEST /frame/_WHAT_unsigned(): Return an unsigned value (the
56   alternative is *frame_unsigned_WHAT).
57
58   LONGEST /frame/_WHAT_signed(): Return WHAT signed value.
59
60   What:
61
62   /frame/_memory* (frame, coreaddr, len [, buf]): Extract/return
63   *memory.
64
65   /frame/_register* (frame, regnum [, buf]): extract/return register.
66
67   CORE_ADDR /frame/_{pc,sp,...} (frame): Resume address, innner most
68   stack *address, ...

777   You might think that calls to this function can simply be replaced by a

779
780   Unfortunately, it isn't that easy.
781
782   The relevant code needs to be audited to determine if it is
783   possible (or practical) to instead pass the applicable frame in as a
784   parameter.  For instance, DEPRECATED_DO_REGISTERS_INFO() relied on
785   the deprecated_selected_frame global, while its replacement,
786   PRINT_REGISTERS_INFO(), is parameterized with the selected frame.
787   The only real exceptions occur at the edge (in the CLI code) where
788   user commands need to pick up the selected frame before proceeding.
789
790   There are also some functions called with a NULL frame meaning either "the
791   program is not running" or "use the selected frame".
792
793   This is important.  GDB is trying to stamp out the hack:
