173 inferior (um, SEE NOTE BELOW). The only known exception is
174 inferior.h (DEPRECATED_PC_IN_CALL_DUMMY) [ON_STACK]; see comments
175 there. You cannot assume that a frame address contains enough
176 information to reconstruct the frame; if you want more than just to
177 identify the frame (e.g. be able to fetch variables relative to
178 that frame), then save the whole struct frame_info (and the next
179 struct frame_info, since the latter is used for fetching variables
180 on some machines) (um, again SEE NOTE BELOW).
181
182 NOTE: cagney/2002-11-18: Actually, the frame address isn't
183 sufficient for identifying a frame, and the counter examples are
184 wrong!
185
186 Code that needs to (re)identify a frame must use get_frame_id() and
187 frame_find_by_id() (and in the future, a frame_compare() function
188 instead of INNER_THAN()). Two reasons: an architecture (e.g.,
189 ia64) can have more than one frame address (due to multiple stack
190 pointers) (frame ID is going to be expanded to accomodate this);
191 successive frameless function calls can only be differientated by
192 comparing both the frame's base and the frame's enclosing function
193 (frame_find_by_id() is going to be modified to perform this test).
194
195 The generic dummy frame version of DEPRECATED_PC_IN_CALL_DUMMY() is
196 able to identify a dummy frame using only the PC value. So the
197 frame address is not needed. In fact, most
198 DEPRECATED_PC_IN_CALL_DUMMY() calls now pass zero as the frame/sp
199 values as the caller knows that those values won't be used. Once
200 all architectures are using generic dummy frames,
201 DEPRECATED_PC_IN_CALL_DUMMY() can drop the sp/frame parameters.
202 When it comes to finding a dummy frame, the next frame's frame ID
203 (with out duing an unwind) can be used (ok, could if it wasn't for
204 the need to change the way the PPC defined frame base in a strange
205 way).
206
207 Modern architectures should be using something like dwarf2's
208 location expression to describe where a variable lives. Such
209 expressions specify their own debug info centric frame address.
210 Consequently, a generic frame address is pretty meaningless. */
