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    frame_unwind_caller_WHAT...(): Unwind WHAT for NEXT stack frame's
38    real caller.  Any inlined functions in NEXT's stack frame are
39    skipped.  Use these to ignore any potentially inlined functions,
40    e.g. inlined into the first instruction of a library trampoline.
41 
42    get_stack_frame_WHAT...(): Get WHAT for THIS frame, but if THIS is
43    inlined, skip to the containing stack frame.
44 
45    put_frame_WHAT...(): Put a value into this frame (unsafe, need to
46    invalidate the frame / regcache afterwards) (better name more
47    strongly hinting at its unsafeness)
48 
49    safe_....(): Safer version of various functions, doesn't throw an
50    error (leave this for later?).  Returns non-zero / non-NULL if the
51    request succeeds, zero / NULL otherwize.
52 
53    Suffixes:
54 
55    void /frame/_WHAT(): Read WHAT's value into the buffer parameter.
56 
57    ULONGEST /frame/_WHAT_unsigned(): Return an unsigned value (the
58    alternative is *frame_unsigned_WHAT).
59 
60    LONGEST /frame/_WHAT_signed(): Return WHAT signed value.
61 
62    What:
63 
64    /frame/_memory* (frame, coreaddr, len [, buf]): Extract/return
65    *memory.
66 
67    /frame/_register* (frame, regnum [, buf]): extract/return register.
68 
69    CORE_ADDR /frame/_{pc,sp,...} (frame): Resume address, innner most
70    stack *address, ...

371    function's start address.  Since the correct identification of a
372    frameless function requires both a stack and function address,
373    the old get_frame_base method was not sufficient.
