+ use THIS frame, and implicitly the NEXT frame's register unwind
+ method, to unwind THIS frame's registers (returning the value of
+ the specified register REGNUM in the previous frame).
Traditionally, THIS frame's registers were unwound by examining
THIS frame's function's prologue and identifying which registers
register in the previous frame is found in memory at SP+12, and
THIS frame's SP can be obtained by unwinding the NEXT frame's SP.
- Why not pass in THIS_FRAME? By passing in NEXT frame and THIS
- cache, the supplied parameters are consistent with the sibling
- function THIS_ID.
+ This function takes THIS_FRAME as an argument. It can find the
+ values of registers in THIS frame by calling get_frame_register
+ (THIS_FRAME), and reinvoke itself to find other registers in the
+ PREVIOUS frame by calling frame_unwind_register (THIS_FRAME).
- Can the code call ``frame_register (get_prev_frame (NEXT_FRAME))''?
- Won't the call frame_register (THIS_FRAME) be faster? Well,
- ignoring the possability that the previous frame does not yet
- exist, the ``frame_register (FRAME)'' function is expanded to
- ``frame_register_unwind (get_next_frame (FRAME)'' and hence that
- call will expand to ``frame_register_unwind (get_next_frame
- (get_prev_frame (NEXT_FRAME)))''. Might as well call
- ``frame_register_unwind (NEXT_FRAME)'' directly.
+ The result is a GDB value object describing the register value. It
+ may be a lazy reference to memory, a lazy reference to the value of
+ a register in THIS frame, or a non-lvalue.
THIS_PROLOGUE_CACHE can be used to share any prolog analysis data
with the other unwind methods. Memory for that cache should be
allocated using FRAME_OBSTACK_ZALLOC(). */
