- Subject: [RFA] alpha frame unwind tweakage
One, missing loop increments tend to create infinite loops. :-(
Two, I was a bit deluded with the hackery surrounding calling
back into the heuristic unwinder for mdebug frames that were
still in the prologue. Mainly, if find_proc_desc can find the
PDR for a function, so can get_pc_function_start. And the
later works with far more than just mdebug. This seems to
work slightly better when dealing with executables that don't
contiain debug info, but do have their symbol table.
Ok?
r~
* alpha-mdebug-tdep.c (alpha_mdebug_frame_p): Reject prologues.
(alpha_mdebug_frame_unwind_cache): Don't call the heuristic unwinder.
(alpha_mdebug_frame_this_id): Likewise.
(alpha_mdebug_frame_prev_register): Likewise.
(alpha_mdebug_frame_base_address): Likewise.
(alpha_mdebug_frame_locals_address): Likewise.
(alpha_mdebug_frame_args_address): Likewise.
(struct alpha_mdebug_unwind_cache): Remove in_prologue_cache.
* alpha-tdep.c (alpha_heuristic_proc_start): Use get_pc_function_start.
(alpha_heuristic_frame_unwind_cache): Make static; add missing
loop increment.
(alpha_heuristic_frame_this_id): Make static.
(alpha_heuristic_frame_prev_register): Likewise.
(alpha_heuristic_frame_base_address): Likewise.
* alpha-tdep.h: Update.
