40# In a nutshell: the function 'beta' ends with a call to 'abort', which
41# is a noreturn function. So the last instruction of 'beta' is a call
42# to 'abort'. When gdb looks for information about the caller of
43# 'beta', it looks at the instruction after the call to 'abort' -- which
44# is the first instruction of 'alpha'! So gdb uses the wrong frame
45# information. It thinks that the test program is in 'alpha' and that
46# the prologue "push %ebp / mov %esp,%ebp" has not been executed yet,
47# and grabs the wrong values.
48#
49# By the nature of the bug, it could pass if the C compiler is not smart
50# enough to implement 'abort' as a noreturn function. This is okay.
51# The real point is that users often put breakpoints on noreturn
52# functions such as 'abort' or some kind of exitting function, and those
53# breakpoints should work.
