40 invalidate the frame / regcache afterwards) (better name more
41 strongly hinting at its unsafeness)
43 safe_....(): Safer version of various functions, doesn't throw an
44 error (leave this for later?). Returns non-zero / non-NULL if the
45 request succeeds, zero / NULL otherwize.
49 void /frame/_WHAT(): Read WHAT's value into the buffer parameter.
51 ULONGEST /frame/_WHAT_unsigned(): Return an unsigned value (the
52 alternative is *frame_unsigned_WHAT).
54 LONGEST /frame/_WHAT_signed(): Return WHAT signed value.
58 /frame/_memory* (frame, coreaddr, len [, buf]): Extract/return

601 No state? Does the inferior have any execution state (a core file
602 does, an executable does not). At present the code tests
603 `target_has_stack' but I'm left wondering if it should test
604 `target_has_registers' or, even, a merged target_has_state.
606 Should it look at the most recently specified SAL? If the target
607 has no state, should this function try to extract a block from the
608 most recently selected SAL? That way `list foo' would give it some
609 sort of reference point. Then again, perhaps that would confuse
612 Calls to this function can be broken down into two categories: Code
613 that uses the selected block as an additional, but optional, data
614 point; Code that uses the selected block as a prop, when it should
615 have the relevant frame/block/pc explicitly passed in.
617 The latter can be eliminated by correctly parameterizing the code,
618 the former though is more interesting. Per the "address" command,
619 it occurs in the CLI code and makes it possible for commands to

675 The relevant code needs to be audited to determine if it is

678 the deprecated_selected_frame global, while its replacement,
