86    use THIS frame, and through it the NEXT frame's register unwind
87    method, to determine the frame ID of THIS frame.
88 
89    A frame ID provides an invariant that can be used to re-identify an
90    instance of a frame.  It is a combination of the frame's `base' and
91    the frame's function's code address.
92 
93    Traditionally, THIS frame's ID was determined by examining THIS
94    frame's function's prologue, and identifying the register/offset
95    used as THIS frame's base.
96 
97    Example: An examination of THIS frame's prologue reveals that, on
98    entry, it saves the PC(+12), SP(+8), and R1(+4) registers
99    (decrementing the SP by 12).  Consequently, the frame ID's base can
100    be determined by adding 12 to the THIS frame's stack-pointer, and
101    the value of THIS frame's SP can be obtained by unwinding the NEXT
102    frame's SP.
103 
104    THIS_PROLOGUE_CACHE can be used to share any prolog analysis data
105    with the other unwind methods.  Memory for that cache should be
106    allocated using FRAME_OBSTACK_ZALLOC().  */

112 /* Assuming the frame chain: (outer) prev <-> this <-> next (inner);
113    use THIS frame, and implicitly the NEXT frame's register unwind
114    method, to unwind THIS frame's registers (returning the value of
115    the specified register REGNUM in the previous frame).
116 
117    Traditionally, THIS frame's registers were unwound by examining
118    THIS frame's function's prologue and identifying which registers
119    that prolog code saved on the stack.
120 
121    Example: An examination of THIS frame's prologue reveals that, on
122    entry, it saves the PC(+12), SP(+8), and R1(+4) registers
123    (decrementing the SP by 12).  Consequently, the value of the PC
124    register in the previous frame is found in memory at SP+12, and
125    THIS frame's SP can be obtained by unwinding the NEXT frame's SP.
126 
127    This function takes THIS_FRAME as an argument.  It can find the
128    values of registers in THIS frame by calling get_frame_register
129    (THIS_FRAME), and reinvoke itself to find other registers in the
130    PREVIOUS frame by calling frame_unwind_register (THIS_FRAME).
131 
132    The result is a GDB value object describing the register value.  It
133    may be a lazy reference to memory, a lazy reference to the value of
134    a register in THIS frame, or a non-lvalue.
135 
136    If the previous frame's register was not saved by THIS_FRAME and is
137    therefore undefined, return a wholly optimized-out not_lval value.
138 
139    THIS_PROLOGUE_CACHE can be used to share any prolog analysis data
140    with the other unwind methods.  Memory for that cache should be
