27/* The following is the intended naming schema for frame functions.
28 It isn't 100% consistent, but it is aproaching that. Frame naming
29 schema:
30
31 Prefixes:
32
33 get_frame_WHAT...(): Get WHAT from the THIS frame (functionaly
34 equivalent to THIS->next->unwind->what)
35
36 frame_unwind_WHAT...(): Unwind THIS frame's WHAT from the NEXT
37 frame.
38
39 put_frame_WHAT...(): Put a value into this frame (unsafe, need to
40 invalidate the frame / regcache afterwards) (better name more
41 strongly hinting at its unsafeness)
42
43 safe_....(): Safer version of various functions, doesn't throw an
304396fb
AC
44 error (leave this for later?). Returns non-zero / non-NULL if the
45 request succeeds, zero / NULL otherwize.
f0e7d0e8
AC
46
47 Suffixes:
48
49 void /frame/_WHAT(): Read WHAT's value into the buffer parameter.
50
51 ULONGEST /frame/_WHAT_unsigned(): Return an unsigned value (the
52 alternative is *frame_unsigned_WHAT).
53
54 LONGEST /frame/_WHAT_signed(): Return WHAT signed value.
55
56 What:
57
58 /frame/_memory* (frame, coreaddr, len [, buf]): Extract/return
59 *memory.
60
61 /frame/_register* (frame, regnum [, buf]): extract/return register.
62
63 CORE_ADDR /frame/_{pc,sp,...} (frame): Resume address, innner most

142 must instead use frame_id_eq and frame_id_unwind. For instance,

612 Should it look at the most recently specified SAL? If the target
613 has no state, should this function try to extract a block from the
