@cindex frameless execution
Some compilers allow functions to be compiled so that they operate
Some compilers provide a way to compile functions so that they operate
without stack frames. (For example, the @code{@value{GCC}} option
@samp{-fomit-frame-pointer} will generate functions without a frame.)
This is occasionally done with heavily used library functions to save
the frame setup time. @value{GDBN} has limited facilities for dealing with
these function invocations. If the innermost function invocation has no
stack frame, @value{GDBN} will nevertheless regard it as though it had a
separate frame, which is numbered zero as usual, allowing correct
tracing of the function call chain. However, @value{GDBN} has no provision
for frameless functions elsewhere in the stack.
