/* GENERIC DUMMY FRAMES
  
   The following code serves to maintain the dummy stack frames for
   inferior function calls (ie. when gdb calls into the inferior via
   call_function_by_hand).  This code saves the machine state before
   the call in host memory, so we must maintain an independent stack
   and keep it consistant etc.  I am attempting to make this code
   generic enough to be used by many targets.
 
   The cheapest and most generic way to do CALL_DUMMY on a new target
   is probably to define CALL_DUMMY to be empty,
   DEPRECATED_CALL_DUMMY_LENGTH to zero, and CALL_DUMMY_LOCATION to
   AT_ENTRY.  Then you must remember to define PUSH_RETURN_ADDRESS,
   because no call instruction will be being executed by the target.
   Also DEPRECATED_FRAME_CHAIN_VALID as
   generic_{file,func}_frame_chain_valid and do not set
   DEPRECATED_FIX_CALL_DUMMY.  */
