By the way: if we do make this switch, I will personally commit to
fixing every single unwinder in GDB before the next release and
eliminating all traces of the current prev_register method.
I sure hope someone appreciates that offer enough to help. I think
I'm out of my mind. There are 68 of them in the source tree now and
they have tendrils all over the place. But I did my share of shouting
about how much of GDB was deprecated and then left to rot; I do not
want to contribute to the problem.
I'm not volunteering to test all of them, but I'll test the ones
I can and make mechanical fixes to the rest.
Fortunately about half of those use trad-frame.c.
