I have included a patch which contains responses to your comments thus far.
The ChangeLog is:
2003-10-23 Jeff Johnston <jjohnstn@redhat.com>
* ia64-tdep.c: (ia64_frame_cache): Add new prev_cfm field.
(pseudo_regs): Add comment regarding register stack registers.
(ia64_alloc_frame_cache): Initialize new prev_cfm field to 0.
(floatformat_valid): New static routine.
(floatformat_ia64_ext): Add name field and set up is_valid routine
to floatformat_valid().
(examine_prologue): For the previous cfm, use
frame_unwind_register()
if the cfm is not stored in a register-stack register. Save the
previous cfm value in the prev_cfm field. Add debug output.
(ia64_frame_this_id): Use frame_id_build_special() to also register
the bsp. Add debug output.
(ia64_sigtramp_frame_this_id): Ditto.
(ia64_frame_prev_register): Look at cache saved_regs for a few more
registers and also add some checks for framelessness before accepting
current register values for fields such as return address. For cfm,
use the cached prev_cfm field if available. Add comment to explain
PSR logic. Add debug output.
(ia64_sigtramp_frame_init_saved_regs): Bump up base by 16 to get
sp needed for calling lower level
ia64_linux_sigcontext_register_address(). Also save the
bsp and sp address as part of initialization.
(ia64_sigtramp_frame_cache): Hard-code stack size as it can't be
calculated. Cache the bsp and cfm values.
(ia64_sigtramp_frame_prev_register): Add logic to this routine out
instead of using ia64_frame_prev_register() which doesn't expect most
registers to be saved. The saved values for bsp and sp
can be taken from the cache. Add debug output.
(ia64_push_dummy_call): Use frame_id_build_special() to also register
the bsp.
Ok?
