Description Mark Florisson 2010-10-18 20:29:46 UTC 
The values for the type() method of gdb.Frame are undocumented. It is not clear what the difference between gdb.NORMAL_FRAME, gdb.DUMMY_FRAME, gdb.SIGTRAMP_FRAME and gdb.SENTINEL_FRAME are. The documentation in question can be found here: http://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Frames-In-Python.html
