+/* Wrapper for PC_IN_SIGTRAMP that takes care of the need to find the
+ function's name.
+
+ In a classic example of "left hand VS right hand", "infrun.c" was
+ trying to improve GDB's performance by caching the result of calls
+ to calls to find_pc_partial_funtion, while at the same time
+ find_pc_partial_function was also trying to ramp up performance by
+ caching its most recent return value. The below makes the the
+ function find_pc_partial_function solely responsibile for
+ performance issues (the local cache that relied on a global
+ variable - arrrggg - deleted).
+
+ Using the testsuite and gcov, it was found that dropping the local
+ "infrun.c" cache and instead relying on find_pc_partial_function
+ increased the number of calls to 12000 (from 10000), but the number
+ of times find_pc_partial_function's cache missed (this is what
+ matters) was only increased by only 4 (to 3569). (A quick back of
+ envelope caculation suggests that the extra 2000 function calls
+ @1000 extra instructions per call make the 1 MIP VAX testsuite run
+ take two extra seconds, oops :-)
+
+ Long term, this function can be eliminated, replaced by the code:
+ get_frame_type(current_frame()) == SIGTRAMP_FRAME (for new
+ architectures this is very cheap). */
