[patch rfc] Eliminate write_sp()

[Andrew Cagney <ac131313 at redhat dot com>]

Hello,

It turns out that there is only one call to write_sp() in core GDB, 
found in hand_function_call().  Since that call is made redundant by 
push_dummy_call(), I think it should be removed / deprecated.  This is 
just a tiny step - replace it with the underlying TARGET_WRITE_SP().

I'll commit in a day or so,
Andrew

2003-03-26  Andrew Cagney  <cagney at redhat dot com>

	* regcache.c (write_sp): Delete function and references.
	* inferior.h (write_sp): Delete declaration.
	* valops.c (hand_function_call): Replace write_sp with
	TARGET_WRITE_SP.
	* sparc-tdep.c (sparc_push_dummy_frame): Ditto.
	(sparc_pop_frame): Ditto.

	* gdbint.texinfo (Target Architecture Definition): Remove
	references to write_sp.
