frame's registers (a recursive operation).
THIS frame's prologue cache can be used to cache information such
as where this frame's prologue stores the previous frame's
registers. */

the PC and attributes) and if SELF is the applicable unwinder,
return non-zero. Possibly also initialize THIS_PROLOGUE_CACHE; but
only if returning 1. Initializing THIS_PROLOGUE_CACHE in other

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

/* Assuming the frame chain: (outer) prev <-> this <-> next (inner);
use THIS frame, and implicitly the NEXT frame's register unwind
method, to unwind THIS frame's registers (returning the value of
the specified register REGNUM in the previous frame).
Traditionally, THIS frame's registers were unwound by examining
THIS frame's function's prologue and identifying which registers
that prolog code saved on the stack.
Example: An examination of THIS frame's prologue reveals that, on
entry, it saves the PC(+12), SP(+8), and R1(+4) registers
(decrementing the SP by 12). Consequently, the value of the PC
register in the previous frame is found in memory at SP+12, and
THIS frame's SP can be obtained by unwinding the NEXT frame's SP.
This function takes THIS_FRAME as an argument. It can find the
values of registers in THIS frame by calling get_frame_register
(THIS_FRAME), and reinvoke itself to find other registers in the
PREVIOUS frame by calling frame_unwind_register (THIS_FRAME).
The result is a GDB value object describing the register value. It
may be a lazy reference to memory, a lazy reference to the value of
a register in THIS frame, or a non-lvalue.
THIS_PROLOGUE_CACHE can be used to share any prolog analysis data
with the other unwind methods. Memory for that cache should be
allocated using FRAME_OBSTACK_ZALLOC(). */
