Description Tom Tromey 2015-02-27 23:05:32 UTC 
Currently I think the JIT frame unwinder is given a fairly
high priority:

      frame_unwind_prepend_unwinder (gdbarch, &jit_frame_unwind);

In my case, I think the resulting sniffer will necessarily have
to use a heuristic to decide if it is looking at a JIT frame.
So, it would be nice to be able to specify that this unwinder
should come after any sniffer that works off the debug info,
as those are probably more reliable.
