+#ifndef PROLOGUE_VALUE_H
+#define PROLOGUE_VALUE_H
+
+/* When we analyze a prologue, we're really doing 'abstract
+ interpretation' or 'pseudo-evaluation': running the function's code
+ in simulation, but using conservative approximations of the values
+ it would have when it actually runs. For example, if our function
+ starts with the instruction:
+
+ addi r1, 42 # add 42 to r1
+
+ we don't know exactly what value will be in r1 after executing this
+ instruction, but we do know it'll be 42 greater than its original
+ value.
+
+ If we then see an instruction like:
+
+ addi r1, 22 # add 22 to r1
+
+ we still don't know what r1's value is, but again, we can say it is
+ now 64 greater than its original value.
+
+ If the next instruction were:
+
+ mov r2, r1 # set r2 to r1's value
+
+ then we can say that r2's value is now the original value of r1
+ plus 64.
+
+ It's common for prologues to save registers on the stack, so we'll
+ need to track the values of stack frame slots, as well as the
+ registers. So after an instruction like this:
+
+ mov (fp+4), r2
+
+ Then we'd know that the stack slot four bytes above the frame
+ pointer holds the original value of r1 plus 64.
+
+ And so on.
+
+ Of course, this can only go so far before it gets unreasonable. If
+ we wanted to be able to say anything about the value of r1 after
+ the instruction:
+
+ xor r1, r3 # exclusive-or r1 and r3, place result in r1
+
+ then things would get pretty complex. But remember, we're just
+ doing a conservative approximation; if exclusive-or instructions
+ aren't relevant to prologues, we can just say r1's value is now
+ 'unknown'. We can ignore things that are too complex, if that loss
+ of information is acceptable for our application.
+
+ So when I say "conservative approximation" here, what I mean is an
+ approximation that is either accurate, or marked "unknown", but
+ never inaccurate.
+
+ Once you've reached the current PC, or an instruction that you
+ don't know how to simulate, you stop. Now you can examine the
+ state of the registers and stack slots you've kept track of.
+
+ - To see how large your stack frame is, just check the value of the
+ stack pointer register; if it's the original value of the SP
+ minus a constant, then that constant is the stack frame's size.
+ If the SP's value has been marked as 'unknown', then that means
+ the prologue has done something too complex for us to track, and
+ we don't know the frame size.
+
+ - To see where we've saved the previous frame's registers, we just
+ search the values we've tracked --- stack slots, usually, but
+ registers, too, if you want --- for something equal to the
+ register's original value. If the ABI suggests a standard place
+ to save a given register, then we can check there first, but
+ really, anything that will get us back the original value will
+ probably work.
+
+ Sure, this takes some work. But prologue analyzers aren't
+ quick-and-simple pattern patching to recognize a few fixed prologue
+ forms any more; they're big, hairy functions. Along with inferior
+ function calls, prologue analysis accounts for a substantial
+ portion of the time needed to stabilize a GDB port. So I think
+ it's worthwhile to look for an approach that will be easier to
+ understand and maintain. In the approach used here:
+
+ - It's easier to see that the analyzer is correct: you just see
+ whether the analyzer properly (albiet conservatively) simulates
+ the effect of each instruction.
+
+ - It's easier to extend the analyzer: you can add support for new
+ instructions, and know that you haven't broken anything that
+ wasn't already broken before.
+
+ - It's orthogonal: to gather new information, you don't need to
+ complicate the code for each instruction. As long as your domain
+ of conservative values is already detailed enough to tell you
+ what you need, then all the existing instruction simulations are
+ already gathering the right data for you.
+
+ A 'struct prologue_value' is a conservative approximation of the
+ real value the register or stack slot will have. */
