Re: MI: performance of getting stack arguments

Do you really have a UI that shows the stack arguments for ALL the frames on the stack? That's very unusual (and visually a bit overwhelming, I would imagine). The usual stack display shows the stack with just the function names. Then clicking on any given stack will populate the arguments for that frame, fill the source window with the source for that frame, etc... This way, you only need to fetch the arguments for the bottom-most frame on the stack when you stop stepping. You would only fetch the other stack arguments if the user specifically requests them.

The ordinary bt from gdb gives this info, and it would be a pain not to have it!
