and stack pointer during stepping, to speed things up.
A. Changes to not select a frame until we need a selected frame:
* blockframe.c (flush_cached_frames): Call select_frame (NULL, -1).
* infrun.c (wait_for_inferior): Move call to select_frame back to
normal_stop. This reverts a change of 13 Apr 94 (it says Jeff
Law, but the change was my idea); the only reason for that change
was so we could save and restore the selected frame in
wait_for_inferior, and now that flush_cached frames clears the
selected frame, that should work OK now.
B. Changes to not create a current_frame until we need one:
* blockframe.c (get_current_frame): If current_frame is NULL, try
to create an innermost frame.
* sparc-tdep.c (sparc_pop_frame), infcmd.c (run-stack_dummy),
infrun.c (wait_for_inferior), thread.c (thread_switch),
convex-tdep.c (set_thread_command), a29k-tdep.c (pop_frame),
alpha-tdep.c (alpha_pop_frame), convex-xdep.c (core_file_command),
h8300-tdep.c (h8300_pop_frame), h8500-tdep.c (h8300_pop_frame),
hppa-tdep.c (hppa_pop_frame), i386-tdep.c (i386_pop_frame),
i960-tdep.c (pop_frame), m68k-tdep.c
(m68k_pop_frame), mips-tdep.c (mips_pop_frame), rs6000-tdep.c
(push_dummy_frame, pop_dummy_frame, pop_frame), sh-tdep.c
(pop_frame), config/arm/tm-arm.h (POP_FRAME),
config/convex/tm-convex.h (POP_FRAME), config/gould/tm-pn.h
(POP_FRAME), config/ns32k/tm-merlin.h (POP_FRAME),
config/ns32k/tm-umax.h (POP_FRAME), config/tahoe/tm-tahoe.h
(POP_FRAME), config/vax/tm-vax.h (POP_FRAME): Don't
call create_new_frame.
* corelow.c (core_open), altos-xdep.c (core_file_command),
arm-xdep.c (core_file_command), gould-xdep.c (core_file_command),
m3-nat.c (select_thread), sun386-nat.c (core_file_command),
umax-xdep.c (core_file_command): Don't call create_new_frame; do
call flush_cached_frames.
* blockframe.c (reinit_frame_cache): Don't call create_new_frame
or select_frame.
C. Changes to get rid of stop_frame_address and instead only
fetch the frame pointer when we need it.
* breakpoint.c (bpstat_stop_status): Remove argument
frame_address; use FRAME_FP (get_current_frame ()).
* infrun.c (wait_for_inferior): Don't pass frame pointer to
bpstat_stop_status.
* infrun.c (wait_for_inferior): Use FRAME_FP (get_current_frame
()) instead of stop_frame_address.
* infrun.c (save_inferior_status, restore_inferior_status),
inferior.h (struct inferior_status): Don't save and restore
stop_frame_address.
* inferior.h, infcmd.c, thread.c (thread_switch), m3-nat.c
(select_thread): Remove stop_frame_address and uses thereof.
D. Same thing for the stack pointer.
* infrun.c (wait_for_inferior): Remove stop_sp and replace
uses thereof with read_sp ().
E. Change to eliminate one nasty little spot where we were
wanting to know the frame pointer from before the current step
(idea from GDB 3.5, which saved my ass, because my other ideas of
how to fix it were very baroque).
* infrun.c: Remove prev_frame_address.
* infrun.c (wait_for_inferior, step_over_function): Use
step_frame_address instead of prev_frame_address.
F. Same basic idea for the stack pointer.
* inferior.h, infcmd.c: New variable step_sp.
* infcmd.c (step_1, until_next_command): Set it.
* infrun.c: Remove prev_sp and replace uses by step_sp.
* infrun.c (wait_for_inferior): If we get out of the step
range, then set step_sp to the current stack pointer before we
start going again.
hppa-tdep.c (pa_print_fp_reg), infcmd.c (do_registers_info),
valops.c (value_assign): Use REGISTER_CONVERT_TO_* only if
REGISTER_CONVERTIBLE is defined, otherwise just copy the content.
Pass desired type to REGISTER_CONVERT_TO_*.
* config/m68k/tm-m68k.h, config/i960/tm-i960.h (REGISTER_CONVERT_*):
Pass length of desired type to store/extract_floating.
* config/i386/tm-arm.h, config/i386/tm-i386aix.h,
config/i386/tm-sun386.h, config/i386/tm-symmetry.h,
config/m88k/tm-m88k.h config/rs6000/tm-rs6000.h (REGISTER_CONVERT_*):
Use extract_floating and store_floating with length of desired type.
* config/m68k/tm-news.h (STORE,EXTRACT_RETURN_VALUE): Add type
parameter to REGISTER_CONVERT_*.
* config/a29k/tm-a29k.h, config/convex/tm-convex.h,
config/gould/tm-np1.h, config/gould/tm-pn.h, config/h8300/tm-h8300.h,

config/vax/tm-vax.h, config/z8k/tm-z8k.h (REGISTER_CONVERTIBLE,
REGISTER_CONVERT_TO_RAW, REGISTER_CONVERT_TO_VIRTUAL): Remove
versions for which REGISTER_CONVERTIBLE is always false.
* z8k-tdep.c (register_convert_to_virtual, register_convert_to_raw):
Remove, no longer used.
* alpha-tdep.c (alpha_register_convert_to_raw,
alpha_register_convert_to_virtual): New routines to handle
the different raw formats in alpha floating point registers.
* config/alpha/tm-alpha.h (REGISTER_CONVERTIBLE,
REGISTER_CONVERT_TO_VIRTUAL, REGISTER_CONVERT_TO_RAW): Use them.
config files moved to an appropriate config/<cpu> subdirectory.
* nm-*, xm-*, tm-*: All native, host, and target files, which
get linked to nm.h, xm.h, and tm.h respectively by configure,
moved to appropriate config/<cpu> subdirectory.
