+/* 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,
+ DEPRECATED_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 do not set
+ DEPRECATED_FIX_CALL_DUMMY. */

+ 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. */
