23 /* The following is the intended naming schema for frame functions.
24    It isn't 100% consistent, but it is aproaching that.  Frame naming
25    schema:
26 
27    Prefixes:
28 
29    get_frame_WHAT...(): Get WHAT from the THIS frame (functionaly
30    equivalent to THIS->next->unwind->what)
31 
32    frame_unwind_WHAT...(): Unwind THIS frame's WHAT from the NEXT
33    frame.
34 
35    frame_unwind_caller_WHAT...(): Unwind WHAT for NEXT stack frame's
36    real caller.  Any inlined functions in NEXT's stack frame are
37    skipped.  Use these to ignore any potentially inlined functions,
38    e.g. inlined into the first instruction of a library trampoline.
39 
40    get_stack_frame_WHAT...(): Get WHAT for THIS frame, but if THIS is
41    inlined, skip to the containing stack frame.
42 
43    put_frame_WHAT...(): Put a value into this frame (unsafe, need to
44    invalidate the frame / regcache afterwards) (better name more
45    strongly hinting at its unsafeness)
46 
47    safe_....(): Safer version of various functions, doesn't throw an
48    error (leave this for later?).  Returns non-zero / non-NULL if the
49    request succeeds, zero / NULL otherwize.
50 
51    Suffixes:
52 
53    void /frame/_WHAT(): Read WHAT's value into the buffer parameter.
54 
55    ULONGEST /frame/_WHAT_unsigned(): Return an unsigned value (the
56    alternative is *frame_unsigned_WHAT).
57 
58    LONGEST /frame/_WHAT_signed(): Return WHAT signed value.
59 
60    What:
61 
62    /frame/_memory* (frame, coreaddr, len [, buf]): Extract/return
63    *memory.
64 
65    /frame/_register* (frame, regnum [, buf]): extract/return register.
66 
67    CORE_ADDR /frame/_{pc,sp,...} (frame): Resume address, innner most
68    stack *address, ...
