Simon Marchi 836a8d3710 gdb: make user-created frames reinflatable
This patch teaches frame_info_ptr to reinflate user-created frames
(frames created through create_new_frame, with the "select-frame view"
command).

Before this patch, frame_info_ptr doesn't support reinflating
user-created frames, because it currently reinflates by getting the
current target frame (for frame 0) or frame_find_by_id (for other
frames).  To reinflate a user-created frame, we need to call
create_new_frame, to make it lookup an existing user-created frame, or
otherwise create one.

So, in prepare_reinflate, get the frame id even if the frame has level
0, if it is user-created.  In reinflate, if the saved frame id is user
create it, call create_new_frame.

In order to test this, I initially enhanced the gdb.base/frame-view.exp
test added by the previous patch by setting a pretty-printer for the
type of the function parameters, in which we do an inferior call.  This
causes print_frame_args to not reinflate its frame (which is a
user-created one) properly.  On one machine (my Arch Linux one), it
properly catches the bug, as the frame is not correctly restored after
printing the first parameter, so it messes up the second parameter:

    frame
    #0  baz (z1=hahaha, z2=<error reading variable: frame address is not available.>) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/frame-view.c:40
    40        return z1.m + z2.n;
    (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/frame-view.exp: with_pretty_printer=true: frame
    frame
    #0  baz (z1=hahaha, z2=<error reading variable: frame address is not available.>) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/frame-view.c:40
    40        return z1.m + z2.n;
    (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/frame-view.exp: with_pretty_printer=true: frame again

However, on another machine (my Ubuntu 22.04 one), it just passes fine,
without the appropriate fix.  I then thought about writing a selftest
for that, it's more reliable.  I left the gdb.base/frame-view.exp pretty
printer test there, it's already written, and we never know, it might
catch some unrelated issue some day.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
