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

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

337 identify a frame. This value is determined by the frame's
338 low-level unwinder, the stack part [typically] being the
339 top-of-stack of the previous frame, and the function part being the

618 that uses the selected block as an additional, but optional, data

677

679
680 The relevant code needs to be audited to determine if it is
681 possible (or practical) to instead pass the applicable frame in as a
682 parameter. For instance, DEPRECATED_DO_REGISTERS_INFO() relied on
683 the deprecated_selected_frame global, while its replacement,

685 The only real exceptions occur at the edge (in the CLI code) where
686 user commands need to pick up the selected frame before proceeding.
687

689 program is not running" or "use the selected frame".
