/* The following is the intended naming schema for frame functions.
   It isn't 100% consistent, but it is aproaching that.  Frame naming
   schema:

   Prefixes:

   get_frame_WHAT...(): Get WHAT from the THIS frame (functionaly
   equivalent to THIS->next->unwind->what)

   frame_unwind_WHAT...(): Unwind THIS frame's WHAT from the NEXT
   frame.

   put_frame_WHAT...(): Put a value into this frame (unsafe, need to
   invalidate the frame / regcache afterwards) (better name more
   strongly hinting at its unsafeness)

   safe_....(): Safer version of various functions, doesn't throw an
   error (leave this for later?).  Returns non-zero / non-NULL if the
   request succeeds, zero / NULL otherwize.

   Suffixes:

   void /frame/_WHAT(): Read WHAT's value into the buffer parameter.

   ULONGEST /frame/_WHAT_unsigned(): Return an unsigned value (the
   alternative is *frame_unsigned_WHAT).

   LONGEST /frame/_WHAT_signed(): Return WHAT signed value.

   What:

   /frame/_memory* (frame, coreaddr, len [, buf]): Extract/return
   *memory.

   /frame/_register* (frame, regnum [, buf]): extract/return register.

   CORE_ADDR /frame/_{pc,sp,...} (frame): Resume address, innner most
   stack *address, ...

   get_frame_args_address: A set of high-level debug-info dependant

/* NOTE: cagney/2002-11-27:

   You might think that the below global can simply be replaced by a
   call to either get_selected_frame() or select_frame().

   Unfortunately, it isn't that easy.

   The relevant code needs to be audited to determine if it is
   possible (or pratical) to instead pass the applicable frame in as a
   parameter.  For instance, DEPRECATED_DO_REGISTERS_INFO() relied on
   the deprecated_selected_frame global, while its replacement,
   PRINT_REGISTERS_INFO(), is parameterized with the selected frame.
   The only real exceptions occure at the edge (in the CLI code) where
   user commands need to pick up the selected frame before proceeding.

   This is important.  GDB is trying to stamp out the hack:

   saved_frame = deprecated_selected_frame;
   deprecated_selected_frame = ...;
   hack_using_global_selected_frame ();
   deprecated_selected_frame = saved_frame;

   Take care!  */

   They should be fixed as above, but meanwhile, we needed a solution for
   cases where functions are called with a NULL frame meaning either "the
   program is not running" or "use the selected frame".  Lazy building of
   deprecated_selected_frame confuses the situation, because now
   deprecated_selected_frame can be NULL even when the inferior is running.

   This function calls get_selected_frame if the inferior should have a
