/* GENERIC DUMMY FRAMES
  
   The following code serves to maintain the dummy stack frames for
   inferior function calls (ie. when gdb calls into the inferior via
   call_function_by_hand).  This code saves the machine state before
   the call in host memory, so we must maintain an independent stack
   and keep it consistant etc.  I am attempting to make this code
   generic enough to be used by many targets.
 
   The cheapest and most generic way to do CALL_DUMMY on a new target
   is probably to define CALL_DUMMY to be empty, CALL_DUMMY_LENGTH to
   zero, and CALL_DUMMY_LOCATION to AT_ENTRY.  Then you must remember
   to define PUSH_RETURN_ADDRESS, because no call instruction will be
   being executed by the target.  Also DEPRECATED_FRAME_CHAIN_VALID as
   generic_{file,func}_frame_chain_valid and FIX_CALL_DUMMY as
   generic_fix_call_dummy.  */

/* If the PC falls in a dummy frame, return a dummy frame
   unwinder.  */

/* Does the PC fall in a dummy frame?

   This function is used by "frame.c" when creating a new `struct
   frame_info'.

   Note that there is also very similar code in breakpoint.c (where
   the bpstat stop reason is computed).  It is looking for a PC
   falling on a dummy_frame breakpoint.  Perhaphs this, and that code
   should be combined?

   Architecture dependant code, that has access to a frame, should not
   use this function.  Instead (get_frame_type() == DUMMY_FRAME)
   should be used.

   Hmm, but what about threads?  When the dummy-frame code tries to
   relocate a dummy frame's saved registers it definitly needs to
   differentiate between threads (otherwize it will do things like
   clean-up the wrong threads frames).  However, when just trying to
   identify a dummy-frame that shouldn't matter.  The wost that can
   happen is that a thread is marked as sitting in a dummy frame when,
   in reality, its corrupted its stack, to the point that a PC is
   pointing into a dummy frame.  */
