Frame naming schema: Prefixes: get_frame_WHAT...(): Get WHAT from the THIS frame (functionaly equivalent to THIS->next->unwind->what) frame_unwind_WHAT...(): Unwind THIS frame's WHAT from the NEXT frame. frame_unwind_caller_WHAT...(): Unwind WHAT for NEXT stack frame's real caller. Any inlined functions in NEXT's stack frame are skipped. Use these to ignore any potentially inlined functions, e.g. inlined into the first instruction of a library trampoline. get_stack_frame_WHAT...(): Get WHAT for THIS frame, but if THIS is inlined, skip to the containing stack frame. put_frame_WHAT...(): Put a value into this frame (unsafe, need to invalidate the frame / regcache afterwards) (better name more strongly hinting at its unsafeness) safe_....(): Safer version of various functions, doesn't throw an error (leave this for later?). Returns non-zero / non-NULL if the request succeeds, zero / NULL otherwize. Suffixes: void /frame/_WHAT(): Read WHAT's value into the buffer parameter. ULONGEST /frame/_WHAT_unsigned(): Return an unsigned value (the alternative is *frame_unsigned_WHAT). LONGEST /frame/_WHAT_signed(): Return WHAT signed value. What: /frame/_memory* (frame, coreaddr, len [, buf]): Extract/return *memory. /frame/_register* (frame, regnum [, buf]): extract/return register.
