Subject: Remove some frame invalidation code
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1f9e9ea5b7cd1554db5a5e9da92a6882f1cce40e;p=binutils-gdb.git

Remove some frame invalidation code

I stumbled across a few spots that mention that a function
"invalidates frame" and also assignments of NULL to a frame_info_ptr.
This code isn't harmful, but is also unnecessary since the
introduction of frame_info_ptr -- nowadays frame invalidations are
handled automatically.

Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 38.
