Hello, Attatched is the next in "frame.h" cleanups. It replaces the macro FRAME_FP() with the function get_frame_base(). The mechanics of the change are obvious. The new function's name, though, is not. The following names come to mind: get_frame_base() Hints that the address is some how associated with the frame's base. Hopefully this conveys the notion that the address shouldn't change throughout the lifetime of the frame. get_frame_address() Like get_frame_base() but without that strong association with the frame's base. It does fit in well with the gdbarch methods frame_locals_address() and frame_args_address() though. get_frame_fp() Would associate the address with the `frame-pointer'. I don't like this one since, in the past, FP has been too closely associated to a real register, and the register definitly changes across the lifetime of the frame. Preferences? There will be several follow-on patches: - replace any occurance of frame->frame with get_frame_base(frame) - delete the identical default_frame_address(), replacing all references with get_frame_base(). - (I guess) re-vamp the PPC so that get_frame_base() is constant through out the lifetime of a frame. enjoy, Andrew
